    Good Karma....

    I think it's the best bang for the buck modification we can make. The second best would be the beefed up fork braces... Sorry for the cheap plug, but I still have left overs from the last group buy....

    Shop Vac for the dust bunnies.... Then you can reverse the hose and dry off the scoot....

    Thanks for the link Dave. I lost it during the HD crash, and had basically forgotten all about it. Going to do it to the '91 and the '99. How many other mods can you say will get your .30 cent investment back in the first gallon....

    OK, it looks like a previous owner got rid of the tank and went to mixed. We'll do the same..... Thanks for the help Monty....

    Know where that oil tank is located??

    Not on this one Monte. The fuel is drawn directly into the cylinder thru the carb via a double reed valve thru a lower intake port which is exposed when the piston approaches BDC.. . The motor also has an oil pump. Why does it need an oil pump if the bottom end oil is only there as a bath to take care of the tranny and clutch??? EDIT... OK I read the wiki article on 2 strokes. The double reed makes sense in the moving picture. And apparently this thing may have an oil injected fuel system. AKA oil pump... There is a section that covers that kind of system. I had a Johnson 115hp VRO outboard once and even tho a lot of owners disconnected the oil injection, I didn't and it never failed me for a lot of years. I'm going to dig into this thing a little more to find out if this one has been removed or is still running. All I know at the present time it sure runs great with straight gas, but the exhaust tip is covered in oil.... Thanks for all the input.

    OK, I guess it's a mix, and the bottom end oil is only there to lube the clutch and tranny. I'll go with the 32:1 mix... quick.... before something burns up.....

    It a KD 80 Monte. Here's a pic of a sistership bike. Thanks for the info, and I'll take you up on that offer for the manual. LMK what the mailing cost is. What I'm having trouble with is in a mix engine, the oil is in there to lube the bottom end. The fuel actually enters the engine via the bottom end and then goes into the cylinder. On this thing it's carburated directly thru the reed into the cylinder. It doesn't lube a thing. That's why the first question. I don't want to burn anything up, but my brain is telling me that there is no need for oil in the gas. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2009/11/13/bikepics-1828803-800.jpg

    Don't let them kid you Herb. A 2-gen ain't gonna be any different. I'm finding that one out. I've developed a new therory. If it has 2 wheels, it's a project....

    Are you taking the bikes off the ferry when you get to Juneau?? It's a water access only town, but thought it wouild be cool to wander around on a bike, and then hop back on a ferry. Sort of 'town hop' up the coast. Skagway I think is the only town with access to the AlCan if you want to go into the Yukon.

    My grandson picked up a Kawi 1980 kd80 non-runer. Kinda proud of him as it now screams like a banchee. The question I have is.... it's a 2-cycle with an oil reserve crankcase like a 4-cycle... does it need a gas/oil mix, or use straight gas?? All my experience with 2-cycles deals with a mix engine...

    Hmmm... One Carbtune and three wrestling over it so far. For those of you who lost out read this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48861 Buy a new one....

    As long as you have to replace the bleeders why not go this direction. 8125L is the stock number you need. 4 total. 3 for the brakes and one for the clutch slave... http://www.speedbleeder.com/

    Yep, same thing with my '83/1200. During the summer it will run hotter as the temps go up. At 100+ it will run close to the red. Just the nature of the beast....

    Man, if you're having that much trouble getting a seat that isn't painfull, maybe you should have a doc take a look at your problem. 'Cause if it affects you that much on a bike you're probably having a lot of pain everytime you sit.... anywhere...

    You don't want to know what these panals go for new..... PANEL, terminal 59J-28221-00-00 1 $202.68 $140.55 If I were you I'd keep looking at Ebay. I have a couple floating around here, but can't be sure if they belong to one of the 'kit' bikes, so I'm no help. Maybe another member has a spare in his stash and only one bike...

    Right now I think you should concentrate on getting well, and then make a decision. You can't bury your head in the sand every time something bad happens in your life, but just remember, you married your wife... not the bike... And time heals all wounds.

    OK, I gotta ask a question that's been bothering me for a while now. How in the 'H' do floats get out of factory adjustment other than becoming saturated and not floating any longer??? There's been a lot of discussion here about adjusting the floats, and if the bowls have never been messed with, I can't see how they can get messed up?? I just don't see it. Enlighten me!!

    When I had to take care of my son's remains we used 'direct' cremation. The key word here is direct, and dealing direcly with the crematorium instead of a mortuary. This was five years ago, and at the time the fee was $500 plus a transportation cost of $60. The trip from the morgue to the crematorium was about 100miles 'round trip. Then because he was a victim, the local 'Victim/Witness Society reimbursed to us the costs.

    Been thinking about doing that to my Nolan flips, only using a thin foam weather stripping. The '99 with the low cut windshield makes the flip noisier than 'H'.... Whine?? What whine.....
