    Also check for binding linkage. When I did Bills at your MD I had to turn the 1-2 screw at least 10 turns before anything moved on the carb tune. It was just that far out. Earl had the same issue with mine at Dons MD.

    Every report that I have ever read that did actual testing of deer whistles, that was not funded by a deer whistle manufacture, said that they do not work to deter deer from being in front of you on the road. Yes the deer do hear them, but it does not frighten them or cause them to move out of the way or stop them from getting in your way. So far the best deer "whistle" that I have found is my twin Bad Boys Horns. The deer just stand there looking at me till I hit the horns, at which point every deer I have seen has gone into full scramble for cover mode. There is no cover in the road so they have never YET gone there. I have watched a car stop for a deer in the road and laying on the wimpy beep beep horn and the deer just stood there in the middle of the road just a few feet away, looking at them. Probably laughing. From behind the car I hit the Bad Boys and that deer took off like rocket. Then I was laughing. I don't know if it is the pitch, or the volume of the sound that works, but it sure seems to work. If I see deer coming from the side I will hit the horns and they usually run for cover. If you were going to an electric sound, I would think that a wolf or coyote or other local deer predator sound would get them moving for the woods and thick cover.

    It is called an ultralight. It is a whole class of small airplanes that must comply with Part 103 of the FAA rules. One of the rules is that it must weigh under 254 lbs, WITHOUT my lard butt in there. There are actually quite a few designs to choose from. Many companies make small aircraft and advertize them as ultralights but they are not legal as ultralights. There are also legal ramifications of landing and taking off from a highway.

    Sorry to hear that, not a good way to start the day. As far as towing, unless the flat bed has special equipment for bikes, I have seen them just hook the front wheel and drag it up onto the trailer while laying on its side. A friend of mine works for a towing service. they have one special truck for picking up bikes, and only one of their flatbeds has a bike dolly. If you don't get one of those 2 trucks your bike rides on its side. If it is being recovered from a crash, they don't worry about additional damage.

    Would you not want to lift the rear of the motor home to raise the front of the trailer to reduce the angle of the ramps?

    And it still don't help if you are stuck in traffic. Yes you do need a special license for that if it weighs more than 254 lbs. You would need a pilots license. But I just happen to have a pilots license already.............Hmmmmmmm...........

    disconect 85 and 86 wires from the relay. Does horn still honk when you turn the key on? If yes, then your problem has nothing to do with the new horn. It is something else on the bike. If no, the connect one of the wires back to the relay. Test for honk on power up. Let us know and well go from there.

    Fuel injection by its self will not make more horse power. The FI just keeps the mixture correct at all times, this may give a SLIGHT increase in power at CERTAIN speeds where the carb was way off. Getting more power would require getting more air through the engine by bigger intake, and/or better exhaust, and/or bigger valves/cam. I would love to mess with it if I had the money to waste.

    My local locksmith had the blanks in stock. It was around $7 total to have 3 keys made. Now if you are saying that you have no ignition key at all, then your only bet might be to take the ignition switch to a locksmith to have him make one, and get some spares right away. I keep a spare key hidden on the bike so that I can still get home if I should loose my keys while out of town.

    Good thing they weren't Yamahas, It would have been tough to get all new cassette decks.

    Start by checking the main fuse. Then start over at the beginning and test the NEW stator and RR. It is possible to get a new bad part. A bad stator can take out a RR and a bad RR can take out a stator. You should be seeing 20+ volts AC between any 2 legs of the stator with the engine running. The voltage should be pretty close to the same between all legs. Check it both connected and disconnected from the RR. Check the output side of the RR to see if you have about 14 VDC there.

    Traffic around north east IL is always somewhere between a demo derby and a suicide run. I hate Chicago traffic. If you pay attention, most of the cars on the road have dents in them.

    Trucks do much better with deer than cars do. When I hit a deer with my GMC all that happened was a cracked grill, and a full freezer. Then 20 minutes after leaving that spot I hit a second deer, that one left no damage but got up and ran away. These were both very early in the morning on my way to my deer hunting stand. I guess they were in a hurry to get into my freezer.

    At the rate your going you are going to have 10 knots whether another shows up or not......
  23. Flyinfool
    Sounds like you have someone on the inside pullin for you and it was not an advertized position. Those are always a good sign.
  24. Flyinfool
