Even with a new battery these turn over slow when warm. The new battery will help some, only IF it really needs a new battery. Take the battery in to have it load tested. Replacing the factory wires to the starter with 4 AWG welding wire will help some. Doing the ground mod to the starter will help some. Replacing the starter with a newer 4 brush starter will help a lot.

Just out of curiosity. Since so many engine parts are interchangeable between a 1st and 2nd gen motor. Has anyone tried to retrofit a 1st gen basket into a 2nd gen? Or is it that 1st gens are so fast that the whine never catches up to be heard?

But I love watching them walk straight into a signpost. Next one will be all signposts will need to be padded so no one gets hurt walking into them.

That would work for me. They even have guided tours into the archives and back rooms to see stuff that is not displayed for the public. All it takes is a little more:mo money: So people, pleas start posting up ideas for a date, lets see if we can find a date to accommodate the maximum number of us. September or even early October are still good riding weather. Early October you will get to look at fall colors while getting here and home. Unless of course you are taking the ferry over the lake.......

If you are going to keep this winter thread around during riding season, may you get the snow to justify it.........

I use heat and compressed air to force dry it so that I can get the first coat of primer on as quickly as possible. There are some primers that don't mind a slight surface rust, and some that work even better with a light surface rust. Moisture left behind will still start new rust under the new paint and cause the paint to NOT adhere in the moist areas, and get real ugly real quick.

The stock canceler works on a combination of time and distance. To the flasher will cancel after the signal is on for at least 15 seconds AND the bike must travel 400 feet. Once both of these conditions are met the signal will cancel. To cancel manually, just press straight in on the signal switch on the left handlebar. The switch is spring loaded to the center position so if you try to move it back you will end up signaling the other way.

A NASCAR driver with that problem may NEED a new pit crew. Toot sweet......

Whellllllll,,,,,,, I guess technically I do have a/several weather machine(s). But how did that get into the discussion????? Yes it was a beautiful day here for the party and all of the folks driving in.

Are you accusing me of having a sense of humor?? I have to admit, none of the doings had much to do with me. It was mostly her 6 kids did all the work. Although I was a small part of the entertainment as an extra. FORTUNATELY there should be NO pics of me making it to this site.

There is a bug going around that has those wonderful symptoms. Half the plant where I work has had it in the last month. The pit stops only last a few days. I lost 18 lbs in 3 days. Makes Moviprep seem like an ANTIdiarrheal treatment.

Well today was Grandmas big birthday party. A hall was rented, to hold her family, 72 of her 85 direct descendants were able to attend, representing 5 generations from 4 states. All 6 of her children were there and each put on a presentation. the whole presentation lasted for about 2 hours and was a mix of tears of laughter, and tears of happiness. I don't know the last time I laughed so hard. A great time was had by all, and most important Grandma thoroughly enjoyed herself. Grandma is the first and only centurion that I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

I'm not married to any specific date. For all of you that have your summers pretty well planned, how about you toss out some dates that are available? I would like to get as big of a crowd as possible. Specially since this really was the brain child of the old Puckster. Aint gonna let him off the hook that easy.....

And even after all of the harassment I got........ Everyone hurry home, this sunshine is painful and won't last much longer...... But really, everyone get home safe.

So how is the new indoor pool coming along. I sent you some sunshine.........

And who said you cant teach an old dog new tricks.......

OK so I am trying to pick the "right " day. How does the weekend of June 14 sound? Makes me no diff if is Saturday or Sunday. What say ye all? The next available weekend is in July.

Contact Carbon One. He has a kit that requires no wiring, just plug it in. It has the relay already in it. That is the easiest way to go.

Are you saying that the wire from the bead is coming out? I did not think that there was any other wire as part of the tire? Or is the wire a piece of road debris?

There is always the ignition bypass that many install for when the ignition switch fails to at least get the bike running till it is out of gas. But this will not help to get gas in the tank.

I'm in walking distance and never visited it.

I'll see if I can blow some sunshine up your tailpipe thru the weekend.......

I am thinking about trying to set up a M&E at the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee WI. The have what is supposed to be a pretty good restaurant at the museum. They also have guided and unguided tours of the museum and some surrounding attractions. It sounds like something we could make a whole day out of. This tour of the area sound like a good time. http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Media/Downloads/HD_Museum/Motoring-the-Menomonee-Valley-Itinerary1.pdf Then we need to pick a date because reservations are required for groups, but groups also get a discount. I am not certain how it would look to fill the parking lot with Yamahas though:whistling: Is anyone interested in setting something like this up?

He hasn't been on the site at all since March 28.

Would love to have you come over some time. I'll bet Haley would love to see your old war bike at the museum. Just let me know when you want to come over. I have not been to the hardly museum yet. With some pre planning, I can even take you out and show you how to poke holes in the sky ....
