Can you run the gas down in the tank far enough to pull the sender and go fishing for the parts with one of those parts grabber claw type thingies. A note to everyone else, IF you haven't already, loctite those screws in the bottom of the filler cap.

I noticed that too. But in the pics there is still a clutch lever on the left handlebar.

Still check, it don't cost nuttin, and new stators have been known to go bad.

Start by cleaning all the battery terminals, at both ends of each wire. Check the voltage across the battery with the engine running at above 2000 RPM.

I thought I had a small pile of the tools left, I think I put them all in the same place that Dan did..........

The numbers all look good to me............. So do the pictures............... My cholesterol is borderline dangerously low so I have to eat all the good stuff to survive............. I decided to loos a bit of weight so I have cut back to around 4,000 cal per day.

Fats and oils must be good for you. Just like a finely tuned race engine needs oil to survive. My grandma is now 103 years old and all her life she cooked and baked using lard, the real stuff made from real animal fat. I would seriously like to do some experimenting on a big pile of poutine. Wisconsin Russet taters and well we are the cheese capitol of the world. I do not see anything bad with poutine, it looks like part of a healthy balanced diet to me......... As far as death by sex, I would like to do some experimenting there too.

You know Mr Pucster, It has been kind of cool lately, perfect weather for development work on your 60° surprise.......... Do you need to get blasted in 60° stuff so that you can stay home and make sure things are taken care of? Glad that the docs made you smile. Now get out and or is it ?

That sure does sound like he is talking about one of out beloved members. There is only one person/couple on the planet that could meet that description. @cowpuc

What I believe and what I want are two different things. I believe it will be a V twin. I want, wish and hope it will be the V4 from the V-Max. And I would not rule out it being ANOTHER hoax.

I am curious as to how people wear out a gas can? I am still using the same 5 gal one that I bought 40 years ago. I use it for everything that I have that uses gas. It still works just like new. The only thing I can think of is from sliding it across the concrete and grinding through the bottom. But then if I need to move mine I never slid it across the floor, I pick it up and move it.

Looks like a bigger pic of the front end. From that pic it looks like it really will have a 4 headlight system. I wonder if that will be 4 headlights or 2 headlights and 2 driving lights? Hopefully LED or HID.

My entire life I have lived very close to a plant that makes bacon, I can smell bacon all the time, morning day and night, I still have not tired of the smell of bacon cooking. You should really come visit me sometime.......................

Yes all of the switches on the handlebars can be disassembled to clean the contacts, It is not difficult to do. As mentioned there are some small springs and parts that are good at hiding if you let them escape.

I had a similar issue with ATT. All of my personal emails to any of the dozen or so variants of ATT were being blocked as spam. What it amounted to was someone had inadvertently clicked the spam button to delete one of my emails instead of the delete button and that put me on their spam list. It could be the same thing here where someone did not know how to change their preferences to stop getting notifications from VR so they just clicked the spam button and presto VR was now spam on that system. It was a pain to get that cleared up.

At home I use http://www.nomorobo.com on my land line, yea I still got one of those. It is now available for apple phones and coming soon for android phones. It works so good at home I have to pick up the phone once in a while to see if it still works. If a call does sneak thru, I report it and it is added to their data base so that that scammer can get thru to anyone else. likewise if someone else gets a call before me and reports it then I will never see that call. It is very rare that I have to report calls. As soon as NoMoRobo is available for android, I will switch from Hiya to NoMoRobo for my cell phone also.

Well he said the sound is coming from the left side of the engine, the clutch and throw out bearing are on the right side.

I also use HIYA. With HIYA when you block the number that goes into their data base so they can block it for the next person that is called by them, so as long as a few users do a spam report then it can be blocked by the time it gets to you. It seems that the scamers only change the number once a day. As for the do not call list, I took all of my numbers off the DNC list, it means I cet more calls from legit companies but fewer scammers. the legit companies will take you off their list if you ask them to, if you answer a scammer and ask to be taken off the list it only verifies that this is a GOOD number and will add you to even more lists. I think the scammers are using the DNC lists, but they are using it as a list of active numbers TO call, they are usually calling from outside of the USA so there is absolutely nothing the feds or anyone else can do about it. What would slow scammers down greatly is if the phone companies remove the ability to alter the caller id info displayed. This would mean that the scammers real phone number would be displayed so they could be tracked down and or blocked. They can not change their actual phone number every few hours. Phone companies don't work that fast.

It is hard to guess from the description of a sound. If the knocking is coming from the left side while running, the only thing I can think of off hand in that area is the stator. It has been known for someone to replace a stator and not put Loctite on the screws and have the stator come loose. It can then rattle around a bit. But I do not see how the clutch could have an effect on that. Does this knocking happen in neutral, but goes away when you pull in the clutch? Does this knock happen in gear with the clutch pulled? How about while idling along in 1st gear?

Yes Rick you are a lucky man. Prayers out for a speedy and complete healing. Maybe the man upstairs was trying to tell you that you need a 3rd gen............................... June 5 is coming quick.

Glad to hear. This is why we tell people to clean the terminals even if they look clean, it don't take much.

Your description is good except you have blue and green reversed. Blue (Right hand most light) is power on and green (center light) is set. Amber, resume, is right hand most light.

Hope none of that spill got on the bike. Brake fluid will devour paint and ABS plastic. If any might possibly have got on the bike you need to wash it off yesterday.

If you do not have cruise or care about it then you only need a 2 wire switch. The other 2 wires are just to kill the cruise when you hit the brake.

I will be in chat tonight. Hope to some folks in there.
