    In the valley between the front and back cylinders there's a heat exchanger that might have a bad O ring. The thing looks like a big twinkie and the crankcase vent hose that goes to the air cleaner box comes out of it. If your water pump rebuild doesn't take care of your leak you might want to check the exchanger.

    Is it bad Karma or what.... OK, so I decided to take the '83 instead of the '91 and it took a big load off preparations. Started to prep the trailer. I had been plannning on replacing the flooring before taking off. Not a big deal, just more money than I needed to spend, so decided to leave the old floor alone. Figured I'd go ahead and mount a wheel chock I picked up from HF a few months ago. To make things a little more sturdy I covered the area under the chock with 2'x3' piece of 3/8 ply. Lined up the chock and drilled a hole. Put the stove bolt in the plate and the damn thing wasn't long enough to go completely through the ply and the 2" of flooring. OK, so I figured I'd just run up to ACE and pick up some longer stove bolts. Before I did that I figured I'd drill the other 3 holes, but needed to remove the upper part of the chock to use the base plate as a pattern. I couldn't get the drill lined up on a couple of holes otherwise. Started to take the thing apart and the last hex head screw was cross threaded into the blind nut. Big time. I got so pissed off I tossed the dam pieces back in the box and tossed them in the trash. Figured I'd go back to my old stand by. 2x4's on either side of the front wheel. So I was having lightening problems due to a couple of wires being crushed and cut. Thought...no big deal, and reconnected them using crimp connectors. Tested the lights this afternoon and the side that didn't work did, and the side that did work didn't. Plus I wasn't getting any turn signals or brake. So in the morning I'm off to HF again to pick up a set of LED trailer lights and rewire the entire trailer light system. I'm really getting tired of screwing with these things. The heck with Murphy's law. It's MaGinties Coralary. "Murphy is an optimist"

    Hmmm... I'd always been taught that a 20-50 had the viscosity of 50wt that flowed like 20. Same thing on 10-30 or 15-40, etc.

    Good thing they didn't think that way when they designed and built my '83.....

    OK my bad. I just thought that from your previous post you were looking for an '84 TCI. Did realize you wanted to 'borrow' one. Good luck

    It's been several months since I've bought any, but the last time I picked up a couple of cans is was around $7 bucks per. I generally buy 2-3 cans at a time....

    I'm looking for a broken left. The left I have now is perfect, and I'm like you, I don't want to mess up a good vent....

    Dang... that '1' key always wants to put up '11'. Time for a new keyboard. Number is now correct.... Sorry about that Ralph.

    Randy.. rjg1985.. made up a set of inserts for me a while back. I haven't installed them yet as I only have one side on the '91 that is snafu. He also made up a license plate frame that is installed and is very cool. Pic of the insert and holder are attached.

    If it has a spark plug and runs on gas I use Sea Foam.....

    I'm in Sac. Give me a call 916-487-1481 I do have a Carb-Tune but have never used it on a 2ndGen. Can't be that different?? Most of the sugestions made so far about being too tall in the gears have merit. Plus you have the dyna-tune... have you tried other settings??

    That is one cool bike. Kinda reminds me of the Haight-Ashberry district during the 60's. I bet the owner doesn't have on ounce of 'self' in his... or her.. whole body..... :rotf:

    Wow, that was quick. Hope the reason for selling isn't super serious...

    If mother nature cooperates I'll be doing both the Bear's Tooth and.... Yellowstone. A group shot of all the bikes in front of Old Faithful would be very cool!!! Kurt has been checking the roads out the last couple of days and the reports coming in are very good. Next year the national might me a little closer and some us OF's will be able to make it. Been missing everyone the last couple of years.... Maybe we'll get to do that ride...

    I'll be in Cody Wy!!!

    That's because 2ndGen's haven't figured out where their tech section is yet, and keep posting in the 1stGen section and the watering hole......
