    That plastic thermo cover sitting an inch behind the exhaust pipe has been known to warp and leak.

    At the time that "I was in there" cash was short so I did the ground wire mod, and that helped the slow starting a lot. Next on the list is to upgrade to 4 AWG welding wire for the starter circuit.

    I'm driving a nice dumb 96 GMC that I bought new in 95. Still drives as good as new with a mere 300K miles on the clock. I have no plans to replace it. After all it is the newest vehicle I own. I guess I have a ways to go to catch up to this guy.

    Did you have the thermo cover off? If so did you replace the O-ring with a new one of the correct size?

    Are you sure you really want to walk right into this? Somehow I just knew this thread would head right for the toilet.

    It's bad enough that we have to worry about the pond monsters, now this too.....

    If someone has a VIN and a name and/or address and/or phone number, there are problems that they can cause if they really want to go through the effort.

    So I guess I will have to pack some extra relays to quick hook up to run all of the lighting when I have TWO trailers to bring home. I'll look like a train going down the road. That nice new shiny one that I am going to win, will make a nice caboose. I just have to rig a ball on the back of my current trailer.

    Valve day at Jeffs house...........

    Yup thats the noise, sounds like someone inside the engine with a hammer trying to get out. The gears of the starter gear never wears out, it is the bearing surface that the starter clutch runs on that goes bad. The stock system with the 3 rollers is not the best. There is a member here that can upgrade that to an 18 roller setup that will last forever. Something to store in the memory bank for the next time you have to service the starter clutch.

    I do not think it the shims that are wearing. It is other components in the valve system that are wearing and you have to change the shims to get all of the clearances back to where they should be. On my high mileage parts motor all of the shims still look brand new.

    I'll go have some ice cream in an attempt to eat it all so that you have one less temptation. I get my exercise shoveling it in.......

    I did my starter cluch on the center stand and only lost a few drops of oil. Now I get to do it again to replace the stator.

    Can I opt out of the banquette? I can only get 2 vacation days so I will be headed home on Tuesday.

    There was no choice of zero. Some on this forum have no bike. As for me I never WON a bike either........

    That may be my next acquisition, except in 50AE. I have 22, 380, 9mm, 357, 40, 44, 45, handguns, I like them all, they each have their purpose.

    I have not seen a 1st gen that is well lit yet, so I am flying as blind as you are. I have over 1,000 LEDs sitting in a box looking for a home. I already have 168 LEDs on the back and I haven't even started yet. The LEOs around here are real picky about lights, so I will have "mostly" red on the back half of the bike and "mostly" yellow on the front half.

    This one on Ebay is local to me, If you give me a max dollar that you want to spend I can go in and make that cash offer for you. If they let it go for that, I will then ship it to you. I agree, it is pretty pricy as listed. PM me to work out the details if you are interested.

    As mentioned if the cut the strap the helmet is no use to anyone. The helmet manufacturers will not sell a new replacement strap or other safety related parts. Or at least Shoi will not, I tried, they said no way.
