    For $15 bucks it's a deal..!! For all those who don't know their code it's on the back side of the ignition switch for 1stGens. Not sure about a 2ndGen?? The switch is a PITA to remove but it can be done. Trying to get it with a mirror is impossible due to dirt etc. and the number is very small... plus all the wires. But if you don't have a clue, it's a lot cheaper than replacing all the locks... It's what I had to do on the '90. The blank code is also there. There are about 6 different blank codes. A-F If I remember correctly. I used to have a pic of a key and the backside of a spare switch, but it was lost in the great HD crash a few months ago.

    If anyone needs to by-pass the thermostat all they have to do is turn the drainvalve on. No need to pull the possible bad thermo out for the time being. You'll have more trouble during the hot months without a thermostat. Circulation of the coolant will be too fast thru the radiator for cooling to be efficient and effective.

    When I tried 15-40 Rotella in the '83 it started leaking somewhere?? I went back to MC Valvoline 20-50 and it stopped. I not saying Rotella isn't a good oil, but the '83 just couldn't hold it. I have the same problem occassionally....

    Good luck. I checked with 2 or 3 major insurers when thinking about buying a salve bike, The story was aways the same. The bike had no value. They'd insure me, but not the bike since it had already been written off. Maybe it's different for a salve car?? Have you ever made a claim on a salve. I suspect you may not fair too well with the claims dept even if you'd been paying a damage premium.

    Yeah, she was a cutie.....

    The problem with insuring a salve title is that you can get liability, but since the bike has already been totaled most company's won't issue anything that will cover bike damage.

    Dang, I knew that.... If the tire fits you must acquit... Maybe running a 15" wheel would be better than swapping out the final?? And there's one on Ebay right now

    I had to install MKII rotors for the R1 calipers. The MKI's are cooled by internal viens and thicker, while the MKII's rely on gaps in the rotor face for cooling. The R1 calipers also don't have the pad dust cover like those found on the MKI caliper. I thought they might have been missing from the R1 set I had, but someone straightened me out...Squeeze I think....and they are left off for better air flow.

    Had the left carpal done this morning. The right was done last year about this time. Looking forward to hands on riding this summer. No more dead fingers. But.... the nurse says I have an irregular heart beat, need to see my primary care Dr.....

    Don't know about the fit, but the V-Max rear wheel is a 15" compared to the 1stGen at 16". Might present a problem with the speedometer readings.

    Since the MKII master on your '89 is the same size as the R1 master there isn't a need to up grade. The need to up grade would be for the smaller '83 MKI master, which from a lot of reports is inadiquate to begin with. In the case of the MKII/R1 mod it's the easiest mod to do. Just R&R the calipers and bleed, unless you feel a need to de-link the brakes. Personally with all the stuff that had to be done to my '83 I still didn't feel there was a need. At a later time I might replace the rear master with a MKII, but I'm going to have to do a little research to see if there's actually a difference between the rear I & II??

    That's not the way the Boxer R's are.... And I wouldn't want to be sitting on a BH at 65mph and punch it. Torque is torque, but I'm always willing to learn something. Your saying that once the bike is in gear, the torque is eliminated??
  22. Condor
    That engine looks like a 350 chevy cut in half, and I'm not sold on the positioning. I bet there's a ton of torque the rider will need to deal with. When I got on my old BMW R100/7 that thing would want to drift to the right when I rolled on....even at high speeds. With 140horse I bet that thing will want to turn over....

    Looks like a pretty seedy place. Take backup.... 5805 pebblebeach blvd I've been stuck a couple of times over the years. Lost $10 bucks on a mag subscription, and was stiffed once by a non-pay buyer, and the buyer lived in Vegas... But it all worked out, I relisted the item, and it sold for a hundred bucks more the second time around. So 2 out of 550 transactions ain't too bad....

    One thing that has come out of this whole thing is that if anyone does the 83-85 to 86+ fork/R1/MKIIrotor transplant the brake master will need to be changed as well. The MKI master is smaller, and the MKII 14mm model master will be needed to match the 4 piston R1 caliper. I always thought the masters were the same.?? Also along that same vain if the anyone delinks the brakes so that the front master does all the work on 2X4 piston calipers, a larger 2ndGen master may be in order??? Gary I'm really impressed with the wealth of info you've been posting on this subject. Maybe a 2Gen owner can take a pic of their front master and post it??

    Wow!! All these stories about blown truck tires while riding next to a semi. I've put on several million road miles in company and personal cars over the years and have only been near one decapping. Lots of tread laying all over the place on the major roads, but only one blowout in real time. I used to think the chances of experiencing one was rare, but now after all these reports I think I've just been lucky. Same thing goes for traveling next to a semi. It's the luck of the draw, and it doesn't make any difference how fast or how slow you pass one. One can get caught in the crossfire at any time, fast or slow. So make sure your guardian bell is polished up....
