    Columbia Sc.

    Rocket replied to Wayne O's topic in Watering Hole

    Grump & I spent 6 days around Columbia, this last summer. We met up with ECK (or is that eek ) & I met up with Sleeperhawk & his Mechanic, as well (Grump had stayed & had dinner with his brother).

    Do you realize, the left front is on the rear brake system. Big air pocket by the steering neck, you will have to bleed that before the left caliper. Make sure the rear master does not run out of fluid, when bleeding. I found a plastic turkey baster, with a bit of filing at the bottom, works nicely to thread into the filler cap opening & provides additional supply for bleeding.

    nope, wet cell only.......

    Probably at the cutch switch. Try holding the handle fully out with a couple of fingers, then engage the cruise. It should stay engaged with the fingers holding the lever out. If so, then it will be a question of determining if it is the switch itself, worn lever & bushings or if the clutch system needs a closer look. There are other switches that can cause it to cut out as well, but not as common.

    Not sure, if there is currently a CDN distributor or not. But I have had kits shipped up, from www.plastex.net.......

    As long, as it is not snowing snot. I would not like to be in that area, if that happened. Eeeeeeewwwwwwww, just thinking of such a thing, is bad enough. Sooner for your area, than mine...... :snow::snow:

    That OLD Owl is too heavy to fly, :stickpoke:except maybe slung under an sky crane . But he did ride in Cody,without falling off for a change...... Now, if he can remember, to fuel the scoot up & not run out of fuel in the tank, when out on a ride. Remember Owl, scoots do not run on methane gas, you have to buy gasoline, to get anywhere. :rotf::rotf:

    Now you are sounding like Mini & many of us, know what she is like.......

    If riding close with Yammer or Friesman1, Industrial grade hearing protection is recommended. That is, unless you are completely deaf & immune as a result, to the sounds that they make (attempting to sing).... :stickpoke:

    Yup, I've seen some of the pics posted...... I was also at Yammers in late June, so I saw the planned location then. No walls to worry about, from my understanding only the footers were poured. I had suggested that, if he wants go to a slightly larger garage (not Skid sized, not enough reasonably flat ground). Pour new footers outside the existing ones & incorperate the previous ones into the floor. I do not know WV bulding codes, but up here, the footers are not normally at grade level & drainage is also installed around the foundation to carry the water away. Dan you should consider your electical needs for when the garage gets done & leave a provision to get the wire inside, if going with a buried setup. Any other common sense type features, that should be incorperated into this basic (for now) garage, mancave to probably follow eventually.

    Needs Wildhare 39 on it..... Maybe then, he can get some riding in.... Considering, that is similar to his spelling for his scoot, that he can't currently ride (health issues).
  14. Rocket
    Agreed. Now Randy, hopefully your sight will clear up nicely. Otherwise, you may have to go to a slower bike, like a 2nd gen. BTW: Have you & Steve tried out the full size of that Mexican dish that I had, yet? I realize that you guys sampled some of mine that night, while Grump & I were there.

    Specs calls for 1,000 rpm +/- 50 rpm, so 950 - 1050 rpm. Idle adjust knob is vertically mounted between carbs 1 & 2, basically behind the left lower fairing upright & carb bracket.

    That is why, we didn't get any brownies............

    Best place is at the junction block (get at all 4 cables), but it is behind the entire left fairing, next to frame. Lubing tool gets clamped onto the cable near the end, there is a small hole in rubber for the cable lube straw to stick into luber tool. Spray lube in until lube comes out other end (should see lube dipping out), if cable clamped good enough, no leakage coming out of luber itself.

    More & more like the V twins.... Styling, relability. Harder to break them when trailered.

    Good to see from the milage thread, that you made it back ok. How was the weather on your trip back home?
  20. Rocket
    What I am wondering is, did he have an accident or medical issue during his trip. As he seemed to enjoy his job, as a mechanic for Calgary transit. Did anyone see him during his trip to Toronto???? His last post was: His last site visit was as copied here. Last Activity: 07-21-2011 11:09 PM

    Or a 2nd gen..... But what will make it pass a UPS truck??? Eck would probably be interested in that answer.
  22. Rocket
    Yup, he had the lowers changed out.

    We seem to have lost Mrich12000 somewhere. His last known plans, to do summer trip to Ontario by bike, for his holiday. Both home & cell # seems to be inactive. He is a Diabetic. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php?u=8938
  24. Rocket
    Which Vancouver, Washington state or B.C.????? Have a good flight & have a good summer down there.
  25. Rocket
    Ok, we have a possible replacement, for last winters "why thread". Yup, best to get the guy out, by whatever method, before getting burnt.
