Lets see if we can get a good party going in the ladies room. I'm all alone right now.

Those bolts only get snugged. If you over tighten you can snap them off and it is a real PITA to get the broken end out.

Valve cover gaskets. No big deal, just messy. Replace them when you are ready to do a valve check. Keep the side covers on so that you do not notice the oil.........

I had that one time while doing mine. it turned out to be a sticky linkage that was allowing one plate to do its own thing. Got all kinds of goofy readings from that one cylinder.

You are best to just fully charge the battery. Most boosters supply a higher voltage that can damage the regulator on the bike. When the start clutch goes it sounds like someone is inside of the motor with a hammer trying to get out.

I think that getting a Color Tune is cheaper than an exhaust gas analyzer, and requires a lot less expensive maintenance. The spark plugs are a lot easier to get to than the ports on the headers. http://www.carbtune.com/colortune.html Some claim the Color Tune gives better results. Just a thought.

SNOW? What snow? :whistling:

It is obvious that they must have made it to below the equator.

Ideally get all three buyers there at the same time. They may think about it less if they know there is a good chance that they will miss out. As mentioned, cash only, there are a lot of fake cashiers checks and money orders floating around. If none of them pulls the trigger on the deal then you can always re list it at a higher price and not feel bad about it. Then let them bargain it back down to your original $6500. Some people just can not / will not pay asking price whether it is a good deal or not.

You can hit almost 100 in 3rd. Use your rev limiter. It will tell you when you have to shift. Bumping the rev limiter occasionally will not hurt this engine at all.

So then you might be able to make the WI MD?

Just another thought. I added a very strong N52 magnet to the bottom of my bike to help with being detected at traffic signals. But that is another discussion. The point is that I have pulled many nails, screws and other road trash off of that magnet that may have been destined for my back tire. It may or may not have saved me from a rear flat tire.

Is it the red plastic part of the reflector coming off of the black plastic backing, or is it the whole assembly coming off of the trunk? If it is the whole assembly coming off of the trunk, then yes there is double sided foam tape that holds it on, there is also 3 screws from the inside of the trunk to help hold it on there. Someone may have stripped out the screws prying it off and did what they could to get it back on there. I also filled my reflector up with LEDs. Lots of time to do it but well worth it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41588

Happy Birthday ol Puc. I'll see if I can send you special present from over the big pond........

Now, who has the guts to give a Russian your credit card info to get a set of plans and a BOM?

More info. This is a you build it yourself project. Now it is even more interesting.

And then there is Bob, trying to spread IT again......

Interested yes, have money no.

Most likely the correct color will not match your old paint. I took a part into the paint store and they custom mixed a pint to match what the bike is now, after fading for 26 years.

When they are in tight formation they look at nothing but the wingtip they are following. There was a case many years ago where the lead pilot had a medical issue and either died or passed out, the whole formation flew into the side of a mountain.

That sure looked like it could be fun. I wonder how it does in deep snow......

That aint a word and is therefor disqualified.

IT has been a long winter, and IT has tired me out sending gifts of IT over the lake. I'm gonna take a rest from IT for now. But fall is coming........ I never forget.......

ITs "getting" ridiculous?????? Shame on you Bob,,,,,,

Pics would help here....... An internally shorted cell would just reduce the available battery voltage by ~2V. A melted battery terminal with no other battery or wiring damage is almost always a bad connection. Either loose or corroded or both. Clean and or replace both battery terminals on the cable ends. Take the battery out, clean up the terminals, put a good charge in it and take it to be load tested. If it tests good then do what you can to repair the melted terminal so that you can get a good connection to the cable.
