Flyinfool

I often thought about getting a bread maker. but then some of the horror stories........

I would start by draining the oil and looking for metal. If it is internal there will be metal in the oil. You can also try to spin the rear wheel by hand. both in neutral and in gear, and in gear with clutch pulled, this may help localize where the noise is coming from.

Well I entered the drawing to win one. For free I can learn to deal with a V twin, and a bar mounted fairing. I really do prefer a frame mounted fairing and more pistons. But then it does come in red........

Glad you made it, we were wondering what happened to you after your HELP post.

Wave is my only option. No CB.

When the resume light is on, if you press the resume button does the resume light go out? does it resume speed? Mine was doing this at one point, the set bulb was burned out....

So did any of you 3 actually make it home yet? Are you still traveling together?

It is easier to run on the tracks if you take the rubber off of the rims.........

Hydraulics are less likely to break while riding and are self adjusting. Cables are known to break or have the "ball" pull of the end and need to be constantly adjusted for wear.

There is a factory applied coating on the top of the board that looks just like major corrosion, are you sure that is not what you are seeing?

Oh man! You guys are making me blush. It was just a couple of wires and some head scratching on the bike end. Glad you are happy with my work.

Looks like you got it in there.

Well someone had to do it........

Well if you are from WI you have to like the Badgers......

But did she ever make you do it again after that????

On my 88 the switch for the clutch lever was sticky. The plunger no longer moved in and out. Take that switch apart and clean the contacts and the actuation plunger, don't forget to clean the inside of the hole that the plunger goes through. I then lubed it with dielectric grease. This is cheap and easy so I would start here. I also had to replace the clutch lever and the bushing and the pivot bolt because they were very worn.

In this case 1/4W or 1/2W does not matter. Either will work equally well. Was the warning light and icon off with the old battery? If so then the CMU was working at that time. Double check your connections, start with the 2.2 K ohm. He said he tried everything he had and nothing worked.

You are on the right path. the next step, unless the gears are stripped, pinion teeth must equal ring gear teeth for one revolution of the tire.

Are you volunteering?

That is the exact thread I was thinking of. Thanks Dingy. I splained it better in that thread.

Oh sure, blame their lack of fun on me.......

I hope he checks in to let us know his progress.

Herin lies the issue. The sensor is not counting pinion revolutions, it is counting the number of pinion teeth that go by. Look at the position of the sensor, it is located centered over the pinion teeth. In order for the sensor to count pinion revolutions, there would have to be a feature on the pinion that only goes by the sensor once per revolution, and the sensor would have to be located over that feature. There were pics posted somewhere looking into the sensor hole to show this clearly, I can not find them right now. Maybe someone has or can take pics of this.

Your close but need to go one step farther. But we have to agree on a few things; First we must agree that with either gear set the the bike moves the same distance per revolution of the rear tire. Then we must agree that the sensor is counting the number of pinion teeth that go by and not the RPMs of the pinion. Then we must agree that the electronics on the bike are doing the math to figure the distance traveled by one revolution of the rear tire compared to how many teeth went by the sensor in the time it took the rear wheel to make one revolution. Then we must agree that with the 3.667 gear ratio the 9 tooth pinion turns 3.667 revolutions per revolution of the rear tire. Then we must agree that with the 3.300 gear ratio the 10 tooth pinion turns 3.300 revolutions per revolution of the rear tire. Here comes the math test; If the 9 tooth pinion is turning 3.667 revolutions per revolution of the rear tire then the sensor is seeing 9 teeth X 3.667 revolutions per each revolution of the rear tire, or 33 teeth. If the 10 tooth pinion is turning 3.300 revolutions per revolution of the rear tire then the sensor is seeing 10 teeth X 3.300 revolutions per each revolution of the rear tire, or 33 teeth. Now where have I seen that 33 number before:think: So based on the math, both the 9 and 10 tooth pinions will see 33 teeth per revolution of the rear tire. Thus 33 pulses per distance traveled by the rear wheel in one revolution. I know it is hard to wrap your head around but the math don't lie. OK maybe it was more than one step.......

I'm betting that any lady looks better than Boomer......
