    I haven't noticed anything other than the compressor pumping when adjusting pressure. Attached is a flow chart for the E1 Error code. This might help. You might also think about going in and resoldering the board. Sometimes those cold solder joints don't take the first time around.

    I've never had to mess with one...or seen one for that matter, but from the schematics it looks like it's connected to the rear shock. I guess there's a 'T' on the shock, and the discharge is after the 'T'?? The E1 mostly deals with poor connections to the discharge, and I've never read on this board where a D-valve has failed, but I guess there's always a first??

    The carbs on my '83 are fine, but she's always been cantankerous when starting cold. Put the choke full on and you'll kill a poor battery before it'll fire. The next time you try starting cold put the choke on full, and then while turning it over slowly reduce the choke. It should fire about half way off. Once it fires increase the choke quickly to full to keep 'er running. The R's will slowly build as she warms up. Another approach is only give her a small amount of choke to begin with, and then when she kicks add choke at warp speed. There are several others on this board who have to use the same start proceedure with their '83's.

    Check out your cruise vacume pump and look for leaks in the vacume lines.

    I wish I had the room to get a bike...or maybe two in there, but with 6 bikes I'm just going to have to settle being bike cover poor...

    A lot of MKI owners seem to have a problem with the stopping power of the brakes on a '83. Personally I find them OK. Not 'lock'm'up' power, but they've never let me down...even in a few oh-crap panic stops. When all three calipers are grabbing you'll stop pretty quick, and not lock 'm up. Personally I think locking up the brakes is a not good.

    Not to defend Corbin, but what exactly was the problem that the saddle wasn't built right, and how did you ship the saddle back that it ran you $60 bucks?? Last year on our way down to San Luis Obispo a group of us toured the factory, and I saw a company that was very attentive to the customers needs. The only thing they were adamant about was the stiffness of their seat, and from what I have read they've relented a bit on that too... Being stonewalled and told to buy another seat after not having the seat problem corrected the first time just doesn't compute. Need more data....

    An option would be to buy one of the PiggyBacker trailers, and then sell it when it's time to leave. The trailers are fairly cheap..$700, have a good sized payload, and a 3 month old PB would sell fast at $400. Net result would be a out of pocket of around $300. MOF Harbor Frieght is selling the same style trailer for a little over $400. TRAILER Not as many frills, but what the heck.....

    I agree about the shake. From what I've read they are worse than the mechanical bull at Gilley's in Ft Worth TX at idle, but those same complainers praised the smoothness once the R's rose. They probably will be a collectable... in about 30 years, but I'll be long gone by then. There's a very fervant EH owners support group on the web, much like our's here. Registery and all. Just smaller. I see them listed on Ebay, and from what I can gather the buyers are bidding them up to 5 grand and the owners want 8. Sound familiar... I just thought it would be cool to play with. I just don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater....

    The two big issues were the tranny and engine heat. A must is to rebush the trans and add an oil cooler. Both have been done...

    No but I did take some pics and send them to a cluttered garage contest once. Didn't win...can't understand why not???

    I just stick the d*mn nozzle in the tank and pump until it shuts off. You can't get much more in the neck of a 1stGen tank. Works perfectly... everywhere....

    Any input would be welcome. I have someone interested in trading his 1999 Excelsior-Henderson for my '92 travel trailer. I've done a lot of poking around, and don't see a lot of bad press. They only made the bike for 2 years, 1999-2000, and it seems they produced just over 2000 units. The one I'm looking at is an early stainless model, and has had all the upgrades done. Should I or?? http://www.superxowners.com/images/members/Pina_x392web.jpg

    I figure if I keep it full it won't collapse.... And it's my way of dealing with hyper-inflation.... Gold?? What's that??

    I have one of those daughters too!! And... I haven't been able to put a car in the garage for the better part of 30 years.. Had the '73 GMC 4x4 in there once.... shoot it may still be in there...somewhere....

    I'd be interested in pics of the vacume cure too. I'm having a hard time getting a mental image. The zerk fitting on the DS housing was Yamaha's attemped cure for dry splines.... doesn't work. But it does make an interesting conversation piece....

    There's actually 2.....
