    I just gave my extra one away.... All kidding aside there's got to be a company out there somewhere that makes the dang things. After 25 years there's quite a few that have disappeared.....

    Wow! I'm glad we only have earth quakes....

    Very good price. It's got your name written all over it...

    Didn't know that. I was lucky enough to have the '87 panal color match the '83 VR gold. I think the '85's only came in brown?? If George's scoot is a standard and red, 88 and 89 red maroons will come close....

    You may want to check your side panels. The vents where available from 86 on, and the earlier Mark I's don't have the screw mount posts around the opening on the inside. I have the vents on my '83, but it has side panels from a gold '87. On the leg vents in the lowers. Ebay, and they're all the same from '83-'93

    I think...and that's dangerous.... the key gas milage is the rpm you run at. I've gotten 38mpg on the highway in 5th gear for the intire tank, and have gotten 50mpg running in the mountain twisties and very seldom getting up to 4th. Others have reported the same thing. Most of the time down shifting into a curve and powering out. So around town and surface streets I say don't be in such a hurry to get the bike into 5th in order to save fuel. Keep it in 4th.

    I sent you a PM on reverse bleeding the clutch. If that doesn't get you going then it's time to pull the clutch cover and take a look at the mechanical end of the matter. I gotta ask. Can you shift into any gear while the motor is not running??? You should be able to get things lined up and shift up and down thru the gears without the clutch.... Anyway put the bike on the sidestand, and you won't have to drain the oil. While the cover is off operate the clutch lever. Is the clutch pack moving? Yes?? Then it's not your clutch and probably your tranny. If not then pull the pressurer plate off. Try very gently squeezing the clutch lever again with your finger on the rod. Feel movement? Then the problem in the clutch pack. Hope it's a air in the line problem...

    First things first. The odo runs off the same cable as the speedo. If your extra dash looks fairly decent I'd go ahead and replace the entire dash. It's a pain to remove the speedo, not hard, just tedious. Second having 2 bars after putting on 110 miles is about right. My light will start blinking with no bars after 150 miles. Sometimes more, and sometimes a little less depending on driving habits...

    I screw it on using those large threads. It ain't easy, but do-able. Just make sure you have it installed in the right direction or you'll really get pissed.....

    Yep, May was a good vintage.....

    I replaced my slave 3 years ago with a new one from Buckeye. Ran around $60 bucks. Still cheep enough. If I could get them for $30 bucks I'd buy a half dozen just because.... I used a #25 allenhead socket with a 1/4" extension. One came out great and the other rounded out. I wasn't as smart as you Mike. I drilled the allen head off and then took a metric stud extractor on the rest after the slave was outta there.

    Upgrade brakes?

    Condor replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    So that's what I've got!!!!!!.... I got down under the '91 and saw this funny set up for the rear rotor. A two piece afair that had EBC stamped in the middle plate. Course I just noticed the EBC, but didn't think too much about it. The more I dig into the bike the more trick stuff I find. I just checked the fronts and they look stock. Wish is didn't leak oil so much....

    Yep... The whole is worth more that the parts... Kinda nice to be compared to a 57 cheevie... I wonder if 2Gens will ever get there .....

    on Ebay lately. A month ago there were 2-3 complete bikes listed and an item count in the 700's, and now it's hovering around 200 with one seller keeping the count up with his listings of sub-parts. Case.... a side shift assembly torn down to the pedal and mount, or a clutch master listed as lever and reserve.... Doesn't sound too smart.... Anyway it's like the Sahara Dessert. I usually watch 20-30 items, and when things are really good it's up into the mid 40's. This morning's count... 9.... I guess 1stGen riders are keeping there bikes instead of selling them to VR killers.....

    I went in to see the Doc about something??, and my BP checked a little high. Normally it's within specs. So he put's me on some BP meds. After two days of this stuff I couldn't stand up without bouncing off the walls. No way I would get near the bike. Stopped taking them and a couple of days later I was back to normal.... Whew!! I think MDs are in cahoots with the pill people, and that's all they do is prescribe..prescribe..prescribe............

    That's another area that I originally had a problem with, but..... what I finally found out is that that slave is fairly easy to remove, and install, by rotating it upside down as you remove it, and insert it upside down when installing. What happens is the bolt tab of the slave sets behind the shift linkage rod, and by rotating it it moves to the front of the rod and is much easier to remove. The middle gear cover needs to be removed, the wires coming out of the stator need to be pushed out of the way, and the line from the master with banjo bolt must be removed. Go slow....be patient...Drink beer.....

    The dealer price list shows $50+ bucks. Granted it's a couple of years old, but I've found it to be in the ballpark most of the time.........
