I still have not owned my first flat screen TV or monitor. Your telling me there are better TVs at Goodwill than what I have in my living room?

Wait a minute...... Most of the members on this site are a bunch of clowns. I even think there is photographic evidence from the last MD to prove it.

So did you take her for a ride yet??

I agree that the Corvette is a whole lot lighter, but the statement was that the Challenger Hellcat is the fastest American muscle car. Regardless of the reasons why, it is not faster than a Corvette, and if if it should get faster I'll bet that it will not take long to bump up the Vette. My sister just took her 2014 vet on a road trip, averaged 34 MPG over about 1200 miles. Not bad for 400+ HP available. Heck at 4300 lbs that is getting close to the weight of a full size pickup at 4700 lbs.

LOL If all else fails get a bigger hammer..........:doh:

I believe the 85 has the electric anti dive. If it is the electric anti dive there will be no difference. If you have the hydraulic anti dive then you will have 50% less anti dive and there will be an imbalance between left and right. Since on a 2nd gen having different air pressure in the shocks makes a difference in handling, the difference in anti dive might also make a difference. BUT what you did not ask about is braking power. Most of your braking power is from the front wheel, and you just cut that in half. Skydoc_17 sells a delink kit that will operate both front brakes from the hand brake to get full brake power back. The rear brake has a proportioning valve to meter the difference between front and rear. If you are delinking you also want to remove this valve so it does not reduce pressure to the rear brake as you press harder on the brake peddle.

So which trick worked to make the brakes good?

Wouldn't it be safer to do this on the center stand so that if it gets bumped into gear the bike will not move?

Um......... I know what you meant but,,,,, should this not be LOW ohms (near zero)? And a high or open reading would mean that the ground wire to that bulb is broken or has a bad connection.

Does applying the brake have any effect on the turn signals?

After looking at some of the other vids, it does appear to have seat belts.

If it is way rich then adding choke will make it run worse. If it is lean adding choke will make it run better. Either way it would not hurt to add some SeaFoam to the gas. SeaFoam helps many dirty carb issues.

Looks like 2 person side by side seating with car like seats, a steering wheel on the left side like a car. A center console with radio shifter and other stuff you would normally find in the center of a car. So more like a 3 wheel car than like a motorcycle. At least in Wisconsin if it has 3 wheels it is considered a motorcycle and requires a MC endorsement on your drivers license. Even though it is in reality a 3 wheel car it does not have seat belts (at least the professional driver on a closed course in their video were not wearing seat belts) and the driver and passenger will still have to wear a helmet in states that require it (the driver and passenger in the video were wearing full bike gear). With the bucket seats, I am not sure how hard it would be to bail out if you had to. Many years ago I avoided potentially serious injuries by jumping straight up off a bike so I did not have to take the head on with a 1970's Olds 98 that the bike took. Bike was totaled. I skinned my elbow, and bruised my knee, only gear back then was a helmet.

Does adding choke when it is acting up help it any?

Not to say he is getting old, just like that joke is pretty old. But I'll bet that the first time he heard that joke he laughed so hard he fell off of his dinosaur........ :Happy Birthday:

Does Mama know that you referred to her as BIG MAMA? If not you may soon need to move your backrest a lot forward giving her plenty of room .......

If this is such a " Feel Good " story, how come my eyeball is leaking??? Congratulations on doubling your family size. And may you also have some happy eyeball leaks.

A couple of things. Brake fluid destroys things. Especially paint and the plastic bikes are made of. I cover the fairing with a towel then a sheet of plastic and then another towel. Start at the top. With the lid of of the master so that you can see, and the bars turned full left, do a lot of very short pumps of the lever. you will see very tiny bubbles working their way out of the master cylinder piston. I had to do this a lot with the bars turned every which way to get the air out of the nooks and crannies in the piston. Next, bleed at the top banjo bolt they same way as you would at the bleeder. You will see the bubbles squirt out. Repeat at each banjo bolt in the system. Next I use a velcro strap to tie the brake lever fully pulled and let sit over night. This lets the mirco bubbles work their way to the top. before you release the lever crack and retighten the top banjo to let out the air that rose to the top. You may need to do this more than once with the steering turned full left or full right. All of this should get you some useable pressure.

What trike?

Now that the RSV is discontinued you also have one of the old antiques........

Thank a lot, It's gonna be a long night tonight if I get that channel.

If you want a free scanned copy you can come to my house and play with my scanner and my manual for 180 pages. The print on demand showed as available for my 88 but when it came down to it the did not have it available. After much searching I found an original owners manual on ebay. I am perfectly happy with the PDF service manual that I can store in my phone for on the road or on my computer for use at home. I tend to destroy paper manuals.

Yup, I was glued to the B&W TV in the living room. I wonder if maybe for the 50th if some one will rebroadcast the original coverage, with all of the original commentary and original graphics and animations. Of course nothing would be anywhere near today's broadcast standards but I would watch it again. I'll bet it would get watched with good ratings, again.

Same result here. I always ran Valvoline MC oil. Last year I got a deal so I tried Amsoil in my bike. While I did not notice any difference in how it ran, MPG, or noises, I did notice that almost every original seal and gasket on the engine started to leak oil. This year I went back to the Valvoline and my leaks are all slowing down. I do run the Amsoil gear lube in all of my gear boxes that use gear lube on the bike and cages.

Since you live way up nort in MN. You may want to consider giving up a little gas mileage for either 4 or all wheel drive. You know you will have to make that trip in a blizzard at times.
