Something I bet they didn't include in that kit is a spark plug removal tube... It's about a foot long piece of gas line. Once the plug is broken loose jamb one end over the top of the plug to unscrew it the rest of the way out...or in... Saves a few knuckles trying to do it by hand.. How's that for Old School Puc???

Sorry for a lack of an update guys and gals.. Took the test, and all is good... False alarm.. Negative results, and a big sigh or relief... Had a monster case of the summer time strep throat... Lasted for about 4 days and Kermit and I were becoming good friends... Now he doesn't want anything to do with me... Many thanks for all the feedback and good wishes...

Generally if you're showing over voltage it's the rectifier.... or the connections... Had a similar situation right before leaving on a trip to Cody Wy. from the west coast... Show'd 17vdc but didn't have time to deal with it. Volts were there but no amps. You shouldn't show more than 13.4 vols with the batt fully charged and 14.2 when the batt's a little low. It took 3 days before the battery went dead. And luckily across the street from a Southern Auto... Bought a fresh battery and went the final 80 miles to Cody. Changed out the rectifier at the motel and didn't have a problem on the trip back. The rectifier is kinda sorta easy to get to. Right under the radiator inside the frame. Two 10mm bolts hold it in.

If you ever do get to it successfully you might try replacing it with a hex cap screw... Piece of cake getting to it then...

I still have trouble picking an RSV out of a crowd. They just don't stand out that much different then any other baggers out there. The one thing that does catch my attention are the eyebrows. If it weren't for the fact that they panned a full broadside of one parked on the street in Sturgis I probably would have missed it too. Check out 2:26 on the video... No doubt about that one...

Yup... That was an RSV... Wonder if it is one of us???

That thing looks bad ass... Imagine what it would be like to pull the trigger and the interrupt sear broke... FULL AUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know that little green arrow that appears in front of an older post that lets you know you have added your opinion at one time of the other?? On some of the ancient posts like 'what did you do to your venture today' if you hoover over the arrow it will tell you how many posts you've added over the years... I had no idea I was that wordy on a few of them... :-) And I already knew this, but maybe a newbe doesn't, but the black arrow that shows who posted last is a link to that post, and you don't have to wade thru hundreds of posts to see what's new.

Got it... Backing a bike out of a truck bed down a ramp would scare the hell out of me. Down a trailer gate ramp... A piece of cake...

Now that really SUCKS!!!

The catch here is the everyday carry. I don't carry, but if I had to, two would come out the safe... OK bedstand... :-) My S&W 5904 9 mm/14 rnd... and if I really wanted to get sneaky I'd pack my S&W 60-14 rnd butt 3" snub in 357/38 5 shot w/a Crimson Trace grip.

OK I'm a little confused here. Happens regularly. But are you mounting the lift in a pickup bed or a trailer??? And are you loading a 2 wheel or a trike??? IF it's a trike into a truck bed I can see an big advantage. If it's a trike into a trailer it's a waste of money.. However on the compression issue the bike/trike front tire is already secured to the rampage when loading somehow, that should be enough since the front wheel is already in a chock configuration. I guess I need more info.??

I recall from the past that a few members had McGuivered an installation. Can't remember which way the swap went?? RSV to RSTD or RSTD to RSV???

Back when I was a kid we just heated one of the coils and they collapsed.... Never cut them...

Update #2 So taking everyone's advise I went and had the covid test this morning and should get the results in a couple days. Temp was 98.6 this am but still had a crappy nights sleep. Finally had to go out to the recliner... Seems like every time I take a drink of water it starts running out my nose... Never had that happen before??

You da man Puc. It would have taken me a month to dig that trench,,,,

Just an update. I called Kaiser and a doc will call me in the AM to schedule a Covid test. It seems due to age I'm in the at risk group and currenly that"s the only people they're testing.

My HMO Kaiser has a drive thru set up... Think I'll give them a call...

Tooth picks might be a better choice.... Steel wool will rust over time and mess every thing up... Another suggestion would be to pick up a Bondic Kit. On the threads just layer in some of the plastic and hit it with the supplied UV light and in 4 seconds it's hard as a rock... You can tap it or if it's thin enought let the screw form the threads.. One thing I might add is it won't work joining a piece of plastic unless there a gap between the pieces. So cosmetically then it's a chemical weld...

I absolutely hate the speedo on the RSV's, and got to thinking I had an old GPS that gave MPH on a little side screen and it was very accurate. So I did a Google on GPS MPH and WOW!! things have evolved. There's a ton of choices for just plain old Speedo's You might want to check them out. And the price is right on most of them... MOF I'm thinking about picking one up for my Four Winns boat. Right now it's got one of the water pressure attachments on the transom and there's no way it is accurate. Some 3 3/8" units will slip right into the opening on the dash. And even have an ODO. They even have an App for your cell phone....

Cowpuc the temp is up to 101 but that just happened yesterday. Before that I generally get 97.1... cool customer. I have no trouble breathing. I took an online Covid test where they run you through all on the symptoms. The only one I checked was sore throat...and nose or uvula swelling. That gives me the frog thing. So this morning I took a Claritan and it reduced the swelling to almost zero. And just for the heck of it I just took my temp and it's 98.8. So it's coming down. Yesterday I felt like cr@p. Didn't get any sleep that night and then drove 80 miles to pick up a small Easy Loader boat trailer. Left at 7 and got back at 10. Then hit tthe recliner and slept the rest of the day. When I woke up I got the 101.4. So I'll still be super caucus, and if thing starts to come back the doc and I are going to become very friendly... PS: About a month ago I did get tested, and it was all neg... And yes I know a month ago amounts to a hill of beans...

Here's my warped thinking...for what it's worth. The return lever pressure comes from the clutch pressure plate. It applies pressure to the slave, which in turn applies pressure to the hydraulic in the master, which in turn pushes back on the lever. When the lever is static there will always be a bit of play and literally zero pressure in the clutch system. My 2¢

I just turned 79, have a sore throat, but only hurts when I swallow,....and I sound like a bull frog... Croak, and when I sing 'I'm a lonely frog" I sound great!! The truck sits in the drive way for days on end, and I when I do leave it's generally to a drive thru for lunch or dinner... I avoid all crowds.. Laryngitis or Covid?? Whatcha's think??
