  1. Idle screw is under the tank right side. At the throttle there is a cable slack adjuster.
  2. Depends if you measure it before or after you crush it.
  3. Pretty cool. We live in the middle of nowhere, probably not 98 kids could find my house so it gets me out of all that work🤣🤣🤣 Great job to make them happy.
  4. Wondering if maybe you got some bad gas? Filled up recently or used the reserve setting on the petcock for the first time in a while sucking some trash in? I filled up at an old country store in Illinois once and got bad gas, it took 3 or 4 tank fills before it worked itself out.
  5. Ha. He said creative not factual. 🤪🤪🤪 Besides that I haven’t seen my bike in a few weeks, it’s on a stand under a cover locked away until spring. I finally had the back surgery I’ve been putting off for years, doc says absolutely no riding, wife would kill me if I even mentioned it.
  6. This was me coming thru a tunnel on the parkway last week. I had hit the airhorn to see how much the wife would jump at the echo, laughed at her and exited the tunnel to find carnage. Three cars, two bikes, and a hiker in a pile, parts scattered everywhere. The first car upon hearing the horn and seeing a single yellow light thought he was meeting a freight train panicked, locked the brakes and lost control wreaking havoc. Three cars, two bikes, and a hiker in a pile, parts scattered everywhere. Luckily no injuries but it took two days to figure out which parts went to which vehicle. Lawyers are recommending I add more lights to look less like a locomotive. The best news out of it was that me hitting that broken truck bumper shook two lost 10mm sockets from somewhere in the motor and landed on my floorboard.
  7. Full manual in the “tech section read only”
  8. Yes, longer dog bones lower the bike. The kit also comes with a caliper relocation bracket that puts the caliper below the swingarm without that you’ll wipe out the fender.
  9. Baron’s sells a lowering kit for the rear of a 2nd gen, you can lower the front bey slide the forks up the triple tree.
  10. Probably so. I’ve been putting it off for several years, doc really wanted to do it last February. No way I was letting him kill my spring n summer riding and fishing. Maybe it’ll be just cold enough I won’t want to be out anyway.
  11. Congrats on the return. They opened me up Wednesday, sent me home Friday. My bike is on a stand winterized for the first time ever.
  12. I’m with ya Skid. This year was the 1st time Kandi could go with me to Asheville. I’ve been pointing out places we rode to her on the news footage. From Black Mountain, Biltmore Village, KOA, etc. I’m glad she got to go see it before this. Heartbreaking for those suffering over there.
  13. I saw video today of Gregg Biffle flying over Swannanoa, Black Mountain, and the KOA we were at last month for the Asheville Rally. Unreal!!!! The people still trapped in the mountains without supplies, water, medications, is heartbreaking.
  14. Did you look on Partzilla? That’s where I get my OEM parts.
