    Those come standard on Nolan's. I'll never go back to double D's...

    On a new2me bike I don't mess around. 1 can to a full tank and ride it 'til it's gone. Then go change out the plugs. Should be good to go. With that few miles on a 10 year old bike there's got to be a lot of varnish accumulation in the bowls and jets. A Sea Foam specialty....

    There could be a lot of differnt things that could cause the problem your having, but I'm gonna second the air in the lines....

    When I found out that 2ndGen valve cover gaskets will fit 1stGen's I picked up a couple of sets off Ebay for around $20 bucks or so.... I didn't need them.... yet ....so they're stowed around here somewhere... :-)

    When I come to a stop for what ever reason I'm always looking for an excape route. Not always possible but I like to reduce the odds as much as I can....

    Among the many hats I've worn in the past was a rep for a couple of knife company's. Basically all knives are good for something. The rule of thumb is the ability to hold an edge is based on the Rockwell hardness of the blade. 57-58 is a good hardness. Hard enough to hold an edge, but still able to get an edge with a little sweat equity. Lower Rockwell's will sharpen easier but will also loose their edge very quickly. Higher Rockwell's will hold the edge but are brittle. Blade material can range from a very high carbon steel which will hold a decent edge but will rust very quickly without proper care and daily use, to stainless steels which will withstand rust, depending on the grade, but will still stain depending on the grade and carbon content. So it's basically a balancing act as to what you want to use the knife for, and how much you're willing to pay. Recently the industry has come out with a new material. Ceramic. Supposed to hold an edge just about forever, but so far I haven't really looked into them, or read any feedback on them to form an opinion. My mind keeps telling me they'd be brittle, and might not take an edge if resharpening is neccessary. Been thinking about picking up one to give it a try.

    I think it became available thru VentureLine in '92 or '93. I've never seen another so I can think it was available for very long. The brochure I posted doesn't show it and it was printed in '90.

    Hey I put 7 hours in the saddle at 105deg. I have 'm and it still got real toasty....

    OK, does it slip when you first start out, or after you've been riding for a while??

    Check the tire pressures and go for a ride.....

    OK, before going for the juggler and rebuilding everything. Tell us how, when, and how bad it slips. Also milage on the scoot and when was the last time the clutch fluid was replaced...

    WOW!!! This thread is worse than asking what kind of oil to use.....
  14. Condor
    It's all Rockets fault......

    I just had a thought... Rare... What would happen if the entire clutch basket were swapped out with one from a 1stGen?? I don't even know if they would be interchangeable. Maybe someone here could shed some light on the subject??

    Why not??

    Condor replied to Yammer Dan's topic in Watering Hole

    Don't think Dan could put up with something that slow..... :rotf:

    My trunk would make a great 'before' picture.....

    Looks like it'd pull a tank Dan. One question. Is the ball tang permanently welded on or is it removable? OK two questions. If it's removable where is the pin to keep it from pulling out??

    Nice job Dave.. I can relate to trunk clutter. Get's me to thinkin'.... :think:

    If you're using Windows XP here's a utility that can be downloaded. PIC RESIZER It's great and easy to use...

    1-1/8" will work. I think it's 28mm, but not absolutely sure.

    Ok, so make 'm 150#'s... I think you get the picture.....

    Here's what I'm driving at. Think about gravational pull wanting to make the bike fall toward the pivot axis, and centrifical force wanting to throw you away from the pivot axis. Without changing the speed between a light rider (125#) and a heavier rider (350#) will the heavier rider tend to be overcome by gravation at the same speed? The reason I'm curious is I seem to take curves with a greater lean angle when riding in a group or with another rider and our speeds are equal. Maybe it's more noticable when riding with a 2ndGen with a lower center of gravity. When comparing two up with solo do you take the curves at a different speed to compensate for the gravational effect?? I donno. Any physics majors around??

    Dan, Maybe I missed it, but you got a pic??

    Thanks for the link Mike. As soon as the '91 issues get ironed out.... yep it's gonna be this summer or else... I've gotta do something about all the Baron's on the thing. It has more lights than a Christmas tree. Prices look very good. Maybe this project won't break the bank....
