    Yeah, for those of us attending vicariously it would be nice to see the haps without jumping thru the hoops....

    Do you need another starter or can you clean up the one you have and put new brushes in it. The only thing that would wear out a starter is the groved armature surface going bad. Or a bad winding. Most of the time a good cleaning and brushes will get it back up and working.

    That's what happened to the first tire, but the second they picked up the cost of the install too. I suspect they would have picked up the first but I never asked...

    Got mine in the mail today. Very nice Don...

    I click on the thumbnails and still get linked to Facebook.. Still nada unless I get out the magnifying glass...... Couldn't find a group in the photo bucket called hub-day-1-2009. I give up, I'm outta here......

    OK, all you that don't want or need the $3000 grand, send it to me. I'll find something to spend it on....

    I remember a few years ago seeing a close out on an AC Helmet. They had a small scoop on the toip that directed the air flow thru a fan to produce enough power to work a thermocoupler. Interesting but since they were on close out they didn't sell all that well, and probably didn't work that well either....

    I'd hate to think how much torque force that 800# bike is applying to the base and arm right angles.... What is that lift rated for anyway???

    Unless a previous owner put some lube or dressing on the diaphragm they should be dry, or you're getting oil in there from the engine blowby in the air cleaner box thru the carb... The best way to see if you have pinholes is to take the 'fram' out and hold it up to skylight. Reinyrooster set up a buy with Sirus in Canada to buy the rubber parts only, for around $70 bucks for a set of 4. The entire assemblys run about $200+.. I tried to find the old thead on the buy, but couldn't. Sent Rieny a PM and maybe he can point you in the right direction.

    Oh yeah... now it's becoming clear...er. Bear with me guys..it's an OF symptom.. But... unless I've missed something the motor's not an '83, but an '89. It shouldn't have a heating problem.
  14. Condor
    Prop's profile shows he has an '89 so it isn't needed. I already have one for my '83, but maybe another member might like to pick it up?? A lot of the '83's were fixed by the factory when they first came out and the mod may very well be installed already, but if you don't know $20 bucks is cheap insurance just in case.

    On cars they have a goo the put on the back side of the pads that will get rid of the squeel. You can buy the stuff at your local auto parts store. Give it a try...

    Coming in the back door on this thread after the fact, but the next time you plan on being on a ride-about for a couple of weeks try spraying the fairing with PAM spray. When you get back home the bugs and gutz will wash right off with water. I also spray the fork tubes. One way to screw up fork seals is to have stuck bugs on the tube scratch the seals. With PAM they won't stick and slide up the tube out of the way. Don't spray PAM on the windshield. Things get very hazy. Doesn't damage the plastic, but will fog things up. Don't ask me how I know this, and the fact that a PAM can looks an awful lot like a can of Lemon Fresh Pledge....

    I donnno...??? The damage pattern being only on one half of the stator doesn't make sense. Unless the motor stopped in the exact same position every time. There is a mod for the '83's to cool the stator better, and they can be found on Ebay every once in a while. I have one just in case, but haven't had to crack the 83's stator cover yet. With that damage only to one half of the windings, and the stator being the latest, I wonder if it might be bad windings. If it were heat related the whole stator would show damage. Also the white wire ohms being .1 to .3 instead of .3 straight acrossed shows that there could be a short?? Just my thoughts....

    The only difference I can see is that the MK2 rotors are slotted, and the MK1's are solid. Next week Kurt (gone14s) is going to swap out the front forks on the '83 for a set of MK2's for me. I'll probably swap out the rotors too. I do like those slots....

    Yep, I'd never heard of it before until Steve deserted us, but when on a budget it works pretty good. 'Specially when there are a few Venture riders in the area to help load...
  20. Condor
    YES!!!!!

    Also noticed the years posted at the top of the column are a bit off. 1200=1983-85, 1300=1986-93, Vmax is OK, RSV=1999-present
  22. Condor
    I noticed that the HP rating for the 1200 and 1300 is the same at 97hp. I thought the 1200's were rated a little less at around 94, but I just scanned thru an '83 1200 service manual and it doesn't mention any hp rating. Where did you find the ratings?? BTW... nice chart. I have it copied.

    Heal as quick as an OF can Carl. What are doing playing baseball at 40+ anyway...? You're suppose to watch it on TV in a recliner. Ride the scoot for exercise. Ditto on the title of this thread. Way to scary and not enough info....
