Oh..oh!! I think we've lost him??

For both. The sensors need a ground and the 'T' is isolated from the frame, hence the ground wire...

It's the diameter, and all 1stGens take the 8125 series bleeder... The stem lengths are reg, L, LL. The reg for the clutch, and the L...because it makes it a little easier to put the plastic drain line over... for the calipers.

One that will be too long is the one for the clutch slave. The longer type will make it a PITA getting the rubber cover to fit back on. Order the SB8125... The rest will take the L.

If the bowls are full the pump will not cycle. Generally the bike will run like cr@p if the pump is NFG. If the bike is running good go ahead and take the trip. Just take along a length of fuel line to by-pass the pump if it does go south....

First thing you'd wanna do is bleed the clutch. If the DOT is dark, it's time. It should improve. Also if the bike has sat for a long time sometimes the plates will stick together. Usually cured by rocking the bike back and forth while in neutral...

That's why I use a trailer, and even then I draw a crowd to watch... Can't figure out why yet?? My problem is backing off....

I'm with Bubber on this one. What ever floats your boat, and I don't have one either....

Metal is good... Since I don't have a drain valve sitting in front of me to look at, and I haven't had to deal with one lately, is yours on or off? Some of the plastic hex lettering will get pretty beat up over the years, but there's actually an 'off' on them to be aligned with the diamond pointer on the housing. When the valve is in the on position the coolant by-passes the thermostat, and will actually cause the motor to run warmer than normal.

I'm not sure if the '86's had a metal or plastic impellar in the water pump, but if they are plastic you might have lost a blade?? Another thing to check is if the drain valve was left in the 'on' position after cleaning the cooling system...

I seem to recall that place is named 'Indian Apple Less' Intergalactic Speed Way. Where all the trekies go to race....

Seven of Nine sez.... "Resistance is futile"

Now that was creative as all get out.... Nuff said...

See ya at Leatherby's.... Now as for the best burger in the west you didn't search hard enough... The Squeeze is OK if you like a little burger with your cheddar... I've had them and they's OK..., but The Flaming Grill just off I-80 at El Camino in Sacramento, by far has the best sirloin/cheddar burger know to the All Mighty. So I guess there's another reason you'll have to come back. We offer best burger guide services for those in need...

OK check the side stand to see if the kill switch is working. If the stand goes down a bit it will kill the engine?? Just a thought.??

The cable is probably laying on the road somewhere. Someone on the board may have a spare they could send you??

12.28 and 12.31vdc isn't the best condition for the battery to be in. Pull it out and take to your local auto parts store and let them put a load on it. If it doesn't have enough amps to keep things 'sparkin' the bike will die. Battery should settle overnight to 12.6vdc, and while charging the bike should be putting out 13.8 to 14.2vdc above 2000rpm. I once had a car battery that actually checked out fine in the volatage dept., but when hit with a load it croaked...

Looks like maybe the cap has separated in that area.

I'm with you Randy. No longer like the good ol' days....

Glad to hear you made it back to the barn OK John.... Looking forward to next year. The Dalles was a perfect venue....

I've had one laying here in the office that's aluminum for a couple of years now. I'm not a big fan of product advertising so I'll probably never use it. However, Stainless seems like it would be the better material??

Last week at VW14 in The Dalles, OR, a Star member .. Tom Rossi... parked next to my '07 at the Cousins Motor Inn. Kinda a before and after. The only draw back I could see was the 90 miles on a tank before looking for a fuel stop. So... if anyone pops the $11,800 for the kit, get the extra fuel tank option. Great looking bike..... otherwise... Oh, and BTW, 7of9 got 47.5mpg on the ride up to the top of Mt Hood and back.

Whew!! Now I don't feel so dumb.... Never heard of a Full Bore tire before, and it's not a secret code or ???

OK Puc, I don't want to sound stupid.... but what's 'full bore'???

I picked up my E3's from Jake Wilson in Salt Lake. The first set ran me $225 on the door step in two days, and my local Y dealer mounted them on the bike for $90 bucks in the winter. This last set cost $125 to mount, but business was picking up..... I think the cost of the tires were about the same... or close??
