    A couple of Chamoise Shirts from Cabela's. Just in time for the California blizzard season....

    I have a ton of info for a clutch that slips when hot, but this one has me stumped??? Slipping when cold and locking up when hot is something new. I'm wondering?? if the slave might be a bit gunked up or rusted internally, and the piston cup is keeping the springs from fully returning the push rods until things start to heat up???

    Hardly ever.... MOF I'm not here right now... Geeze it's getting to be a long winter....

    If you can get it up on the trailer take it down to the guy that did the tire change with the new stem (later post) and let him deal with it..

    Once in the AM to read the new posts. and then throughout the day as I get email about a new post to a thread I've commented on..... until it gets ridiculous... Like 'Why'..., and then I'll kill the thread subscription. I'll also manually subscribe to a thread if it's interesting and I don't have anything to add and in learning mode...

    First off.... DON'T USE SEA FOAM!!! or any other carb cleaner for that matter. You'll end up going BOOM!!! They make specialty cleaners that are non volatile. I use Branson MC-1 Solution. Found it on the internet. Even plain water will build up heat after runing the USC for a while. Heat helps in getting the parts clean, but too much with certain cleaners will cause a lot of grief... A 2.5 liter isn't big enough to handle the larger pieces. My Elma E 30H is 2.75 liters and I wish it were twice as big to handle throttle bodies in one dip. Remember the physical inside dimentions will be cut back even more when the parts basket is used. Also I have two different baskets. One is a screened affair and works fine with larger pieces. I also have a semi-solid basket that will take the small stuff without them falling through into the bottom of the tank. You'll need both. At $80 bucks the HF bath is priced very good. It doesn't say if it has ceramic or metal transducers?? But for light cleaning jobs it should work just fine. I'd pop for the extended warantee on it from HF. Mine ran $225 with the HDs, and I stole it...

    An '84 with second gear gone is only worth about $500-$600 bucks. $1900 is good for one where the second gear has been repaired. Personally I'd keep shopping....

    I took a carb apart and put it in an ultrasonic cleaner just to see what it would do. Cleaned the 'H' out of it. All the pieces came out like new. I think Mike (MBrood) dipped all his in an US cleaner with great results.... The only problem I ran into was the size of the tub. I could only do one half of the body at a time. For the smaller parts it was a breeze... If I ever find a deal on a larger unit for a price I won't be passing it up... I also tried it on a couple of rusted parts and the rust just melted off. It was amazing to watch.

    If the price of gold keeps going up I can see pot holes starting to develope.... MOF that million probably came from the time when gold was valued at $350 an ounce. That highway is probably more like a 3 million dollar highway at todays prices....

    That's one of the loop rides we've been talking about doing next year at the Venture Round-Up in Durango Sept 13 - 16th. Thanks for the pics. Durango

    Just downloaded mine. I did end up wading through a couple of what looked like subscriber pages before I finally got it to kick in. Nice thinking Randy.....

    Merry Christmas to you and Gary, and all the Cody Riders too, Deb. I'm not in the pic...which might be a good thing..., but you can always add my pic in there if you want. Don't know where I was at the moment...but it wasn't there...

    Yep, me too.... The website wants me to register...

    Good thing you had the bars horizontal when the spill occurred. However, just because it hit the floor and not the fairing, don't assume you didn't get any on the plastic. Even a speck will loosen paint the size of a pencil eraser. Wash the entire surface with water to kill any specks. ....don't ask me how I know that.... When filling the reserve turn the bars until it's level, and cover the area underneath the reserve with something to protect the cosmetics. Never.... I mean never fill a brake or clutch reserve all the way to the top. Hot expanded fluid needs someplace to go. It'll either cause your clutch to start slipping or the brakes to lock up. ALso the fluid is clear for a reason. The more moisture in the system the darker the fluid becomes. Moisture will cause system rusting problems. That's why the manual suggests replacing the fluid every 2 years, and bleeding the clutch and brake are one of the most neglected areas on a bike. Owners will go out and spend big bucks for synthetic engine oils and never look at the brake and clutch fluids. My 2¢

    I saw that one on the last flyer I received from HF. Looks like it'd work a lot better than the Mity-Vac. Anytime you can move fluid through the system faster than an air bubble can float it'll purge the air out.... No more pumping up the pressure and cracking the bleeder.... MOF I've found that when bleeding calipers after putting on new pads I don't even try to pump up the pressure to seat the pads until after I've purged all the air out. Then I'll close the bleeder and pump up the pressure. Works great when speed bleeders are installed.

    I sympathize with your position, but let 'm repo the bike. No '84 is worth $6000. Once you're back on you feet, and your life has settled down, there will be plenty of 1stGen MKII's available selling for a lot less. Also go get a lawyer and sue the cr*p out of them.

    Ya know I hate to rain on anybody's parade, and 'Goldie' is a nice looking bike, but how about popping $12 bucks to support the board?? You're listed as an 'expired trial member'. I thought 'trial' members didn't have posting privileges, but if wrong and even 'expired' trial's do, what gives???? Any moderator care to comment??
  23. Condor
    Ahhh?? What's your point Gary?? :rotf:
  24. Condor
    Why????
  25. Condor
    Aha!!! Planed obsolescences. Hadn't thought of that....
