    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.

    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...

    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

    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....

    I have a couple of original keys and one has a letter and one does not. The blanks are mirrors of ieach other. I don't know what that means, but here's a website that may be able to help. http://www.motorcyclekeys.com/ I just had John cut a key for the '90 from the code on the back of the ignition switch. I hoped I could see it with a mirror, but no such luck. Had to remove the switch. PITA. The key was pricey, but it did work and now I can get fuel in the tank and try to start it....

    Actually it still pulls to the left... you've just shifted to the right to compensate...

    Congrats. Nice place.. I can see someone in the market for a riding lawnmower in the future.....

    First time I've ever heard someone describe the Bear Tooth as scary... I'll plan on getting scared then when we do Cody in Sept. Bring on dem Grizzlies. Arrrgh!!!! BTW very.. very nice pics ....

    I run IE along with Trend, and normally don't have a problem with pop-ups, but on that site I couldn't get rid of them fast enough.
  22. Condor
    The symptoms would probably be exactely as you discribed. Sluggish, lack of power. #2 is probably getting enough fuel to heat up via the idle circut, but doesn't pull due to lack of fuel at the higher R's. You either have a huge tear in the diaphragm or the assembly has come apart... I think...

    Dang that's hot. Make friends with a refrigerator......

    Tried to look at your pics Dave, but I had pop ups all over the place. Finally gave up.

    I'm good for 2hrs or 150 miles before I gotta pee. Amazing how those things work out like that....
