    Someone will have to remember this with all of the pornagraphic memories on this site.

    It should be 14.0, anything under 13.8 is getting to marginal, over 14.2 is getting excessive. The idle voltage does not matter much anything in the 13s is fine, it will be low, check the voltage at 2500 rpm or more. There is no way a bad switch can burn out a volt meter. The switch should also not be able to damage a charger or battery. Open up your meter, it has a fuse or 2 inside that may have blown.

    The lights are no good, I don't see nuttin. Or did he go a little farther north with the ramp and jump 3 states? Evil Kinevle would be proud.

    Be careful flushing a 20+ year old system, some of that crud might be sealing up leaks. I simply drained mine and refilled it with new.

    I ran into that coming thru Chicago, I was doing 70 in a 45 and getting flipped off for going so slow. Traffic was flowing at 80. The trailer was fine with 80 but the bike did not like it. It felt like the engine was laboring and it seemed like the gas tank had a 3 inch hole in the bottom.

    Glad it worked out the way it should have with minimal fuss.

    I got a big rare earth magnet to put on the bottom of my bike. There is a light that I hit almost every day that I tried all of the tricks on, ride on the wire, side stand on the wire, stop and start the engine (got me to fix my hot start issues), combinations of all of the above, nothing worked. With the big magnet it now trips every time. As a bonus I have found screws, nails and other ferric road debris stuck to the magnet, I figure that those gems were headed for my back tire.

    Well since the question asked is whats the safest speed to pull a trailer.... The safest speed to pull a trailer behind a bike is 0 MPH. All bike makers say DON"T DO IT. It is hard to crash when not moving. As far as what speed is reasonably safe to pull a trailer will vary depending on the weather, road condition, driver skill / knowledge, the bike used, the trailer being pulled, how the trailer is loaded, how everything is set up, the condition of everything, and probably a few other variables not there on the top of my head. The trailer I have now, the first time I pulled it it was swaying hard at 50-55 MPH. Now that I have made modifications and learned better how to load it, I was quite comfortable with the cruise control set at 75 and 30+ MPH winds blowing.

    Well since you didn't notice that, you must be really old........

    I have had a burned out bulb do that to me. Check that bulb out. I have learned to carry a spare bulb at all times, wrapped in bubble wrap, they always burn out at night where there are no street lights. This would be a good time to get that spare bulb to carry.

    We had an 11 yo kid died here recently by walking right into a moving freight train. All phones capable of texting have a GPS built in. It would be very simple software to make the phone so that it can not text while moving.

    Ahhhhh Thats different. Vice grip is now your friend.
  17. Flyinfool
    But he will be on the road and texting soon.......

    Go spend the $10 at harbor freight and buy the tool. Is a lot cheaper than damaging the carb, and then you have bits for a lot of different security screws. http://www.harborfreight.com/100-piece-security-bit-set-68457.html

    Would love to know your route for 48 in 10.

    If you do not want to re-chrome, I would peel of any loose chrome flakes, clean with navel jelly to remove rust, touch up bare steel spots with a "chrome" paint, Clear coat the whole thing (or keep well waxed) to prevent further rust.

    Perfect excuse to go up and do some more screwing on the garage roof......

    Who me? Over do something??? This is what I have in mind.

    I never got someone to actually throw their phone out the window, but I have had them throw it into the back seat with a proper application of dual Bad Boys. Note to self, I need something much louder than my dual Bad Boys. I want to see a phone come out the window.

    ummmmmmm...... I sure ain't never seen a young senior............
