    I'd be at a desided disadvantage.... I can't get into mine to take pics.... But I can try....

    It's probably a cold solder joint, or a bad pot. Personally I'd keep checking Ebay for another unit???

    Welcome to the board Midnight... The bank was probably using an older book. The current values for the 2000MM, from Kelly and NADA, are 8450/5800 and 7285/5540. The first number is dealer retail and the second is trade in, and these are averages. In this economy the closer a seller gets to the trade in value, the better the chances of selling their bike..... For a bike with a hundred thou on the odo, they need to be very flexible....

    Reiny, the only way a dealer sells the diaphragms is as an assembly. Way too much money. It was my understanding that you'd been talking to Sirus about a group quantity buy of the diaphragm rubbers only, in sets of four. It shouldn't be that hard to call Sirus and ask what kind of a price they charge for an order of 100 sets.... Of course they'll sell to you. They auction exhaust gaskets direct off Ebay all the time. I also thought the idea of bringing them to a member south of the boarder and having them mailed out in the US. Shouldn't cost more than a $1US for each set.

    Interesting concept. Different.. Just make sure that the bed is really secure in the upright position while traveling. That thing coming loose while on the freeway could mess up your whole day. Personally I'd stick with the ramp gate.

    Here's a Millinium listed right here in our classifieds. Is this the one you're asking about???

    I could never reconnect the cables when the carbs were installed...or get them off for that matter.. Finally found that I needed to reconnect the cables with the carbs off.... then install them. It's the only way to get the stop and cable onto the cam in the middle. Can't remember what it does, but it doesn't matter. BTW conect the stopper first and then slip the cable and cover into the holder... that's what the slot is for. Hope it helps..

    If anyone's interested I have a very nice Brand New set of First Gear rain gear that I hate to admit.. is too small at 3X. I picked the set up from a local auction last year and just yesterday tried on the jacket. No go... I guess it's gotta be 5x for me before I head to Cody this year. I could get the 3x on, but it woulda been nice to breathe.... Anyway if you're in the 1x to 2x size range, and have $60 bucks. I'll send them on. Includes shipping. PM me....

    I've noticed that too... It's starting..... A lot of them have been out of warantee for 5 years now...

    Yep, some of those early 2ndGen's are getting long in the tooth. They're going to start needing something in the very near future....

    Reiny, Why don't you ask what the discount would be for 100+ sets, and then find out what kind of response you'll get. A lot of folks are interested if the price is reasonable. Since the price is the most important thing maybe we should get that first. I think you'll get a lot more... or not.. responses that way. There area a lot of 1stGen's runing around out here, as well as as few older 2ndGen's... I don't know if they're the same dimention... but I bet Squeeze knows... It's much better to work toward a goal once all the facts are in. Many thanks for all the work you've done on this so far..

    Every one seems to have their own idea of how to get the clutch bled. The air is a PITA to get out of the clutch lines and slave due to it's design. With the master so much higher than the slave the air bubles willl always want to rise to the master. Because you can't apply compression like you can in a brake system you end up forcing a little fluid in the lines and the bubbles go down toward the slave. By the time you're able to pump again the air has started to rise again. It's a never ending cycle. The air will continue to rise and stay suspended in the lines. You can't really speed up the pumping process. Pump a little in and by the time you reload for another shot of fluid the bubbles are back where they were before. It's tough to get them out of the system. Here's my solution, takes about 15 minutes, and it works every time. Basically it's forcing the DOT 3 or 4 up the clutch lines from the bleeder valve on the slave, thru the slave, and up into the reserve. Since air will naturally rise in the lines, it's almost impossible to force the air down thru the lines, thru the slave, and out the bleeder valve. There are several different ways to accomplish reverse bleeding, but they all do the same thing. i.e. force the fluid from the bleeder valve on the slave up into the reserve. With a standard OEM valve you can just loosen it, attach a clear plastic tube for a visual, and use what ever method you can conger up as an injection tool... Everyone seems to have their own method for this. I personally use one of those rubber ear bulbs. Since I have a speed bleeder installed I have to remove it. With the top of the master reserve removed start forcing fluid into the lines, being carefull not to force so much in that it overflows the reserve bowl. You can actually hear the air bubble out. It won't take long, but once no more air can be heard, lock down the bleeder valve and you're good to go. Make sure that the reserve isn't over full when you button things up.

    The price works out to around $1600 US. Looks well built. I don't know what the retail is on a Unigo, but I bet it's a lot more than this one. I've always liked the concept, but can't afford either.

    You may hope that it comes roaring in like a lion.... Out like a lamb and an early spring. It kinda looks like the lions about to roar, but we have another couple of weeks to make up our minds.... LION???

    So... Rick. The forks still need to be taken apart. Yes?? I've never been into a fork, and don't know didily. But then again I can drill holes with the bet of them. Will I need anything special, tool wise, to tackle the job??

    Just a story. I was watching the Glen Beck Show on Fox News, and he had the owner of a gun shop in Connecticut on. He remarked that gun sales have gone nutzo, and ammo sales are even crazier.. He can't get a lot of the popular calibers. I also have a friend that does gun shows, and the last one he went to one a major ammo dealer attended with a full pallet of 223rem and a full pallet of 7.62. He stated that for three hours you couldn't get near their tables, and at the end of the 3 hours they had sold out of both pallets. I haven't seen this type of a buying frenzy since the early 60's when the first gun registrations were required....

    Have you checked a plug for spark, and is the plug wet when you first pulled it??

    Hope you're still hangin' in there Don. It get's easier every day. One day at a time. I used to be a very heavy smoker for 20 years while a sales rep. Quit cold turkey 20 years ago. Today I think back and am amazed that any one would even get near me. My clothes stunk, my car stunk, my office stunk. Now when I get downwind of a smoker I can't breathe. Nothing worse than a reformed smoker...

    Does it need a kick stand???

    The idea is to have it swivel at the through pin, and not between the ball and coupler. Combine both movements and things can get pretty sloppy......... I'd rather stay with the Nosha Coupler style.. At least they eliminate one area of play.
