    Maybe a dumb question but also maybe safe than sorry: how did you use the meter?
  2. Marcarl
    Hard decision, easy answer. Lend them both to friends to take to Frt Collins, see which one comes back and then choose the other. Oh ya friends. :think: it's them folks that show up to drink your beer.

    Wheuuuu, you had me worried. Now before you use your CB find someone with a matching meter and match it back up, or it still may burn out. Oh ya, You're welcome, you were only a phone call away, and it seems you have a very pleasant and helpful partner.

    This statment is dead on. Do not use your transmit button without the loading coil in place, IT WILL BLOW YOUR CB. Receiving works ok without the coil but transmit needs a balanced system!!!!!

    I rotate them every time I go for a ride, that way I don't forget to do it and have much more piece of mind while on the road. For me it's always saftey first, so I check to make sure that one time the stem is on top and the next it's on the bottom, just can't remember if it was on the top or bottom when I parked it last fall, darn does that mean I now have to get new rubbers? wonder what my wife will say about that,,,,,, I'm just getting a little older maybe?

    Once they start getting holes in them, it's a constant battle to keep ahead of the perforations, along with the possiblity of some of the goop smeared on the rubber coming off and screwing up the carb, it just isn't worth it. Flatout Motorcycle wants $174.04 US for the four, but I have seen them for about $35.00 ea. To me that is worth the change to new. http://www.flatoutmotorcycles.com/fiche_section_detail.asp

    In the mean time get some Seal All, clean it up well, put Seal All on it and you're away to the races until a new cover makes an appearing.

    I always figure when you do a job, do it right!!! The brakes, pads, rotors, spokes, rim, tires,,,,,,,everything, that way you sure you got the important pieces for sure. Gives longer tire wear, keeps the dirt off the wheels so you can wipe them off easy for looking good to go to church, no rust anymore,,, it's just awesome,,,, I like it sooo much I'm thinking about doing the whole scoot, just so it all looks the same, going to use different color greases to show off different parts and give it that customized look.

    Question: Where are you putting, pouring the starting fluid. Is it a spray starting fluid and is it eyther if you take out a plug is it wet or dry If all else fails, try something stupid, such as: Get on the scoot, put up kick stand, squezze the clutch, check the emergency shut off, turn the key, wait for fuel pump to stop, choke a little, and turn it over. Don't laugh I seen it work, in my own shop. Other thing that comes to mind is that I would replace the cable before I'd get to any really serious stuff, you just might find your answer in that process.

    Do I need to go on? :rotf: Alright I'm otta here.

    I'm just going to sit here and be 'next to' you. My heart aches and my mind is stunned. How brief life can be. Our prayers for you Bro.

    Guess you ain't going to Fort Collins or any other place a lady may show up. You got intestinal fortitude man and I hope lots of padding on the rear side. :no-no-no:

    Thought I'd start a helpful thread on where to buy tires. It seems that prices are all over the board and if we can convince some retailer that there are 2000 members here that will buy on price we may have some results. Personally I don't mind if a retailer makes some money on what they sell, that way I know they will be there for service when I need it and will also be there when I need more stuff, but sometimes I see a ripoff happening and then it's time to put some competition into the mix. So when you post here, let us know where you bought your tires and for how much, including shipping or what ever else you paid. Bought 2 Avon Vemons A41 and A45 for $500.00 mounted and balanced, Brantford ON 2006

    If somebody can figure out how to get this F350 (sounds like Ford to me) onto a 2nd gen, then maybe, just maybe the rest of us wouldn't have to drink so much beer waiting for everybody to join us for lunch.

    So you guys were riding together? Is there a name for that?
  18. Marcarl
    I tried to post a picture, but I'm not that good at this fancy stuff, give me a wrench or hammer and I can do a lot more damage. Yes, the ciriclip goes on the fork, then the joint, then the damper (cut side up) and then the upper tree. The ciriclip prevents the joint from sliding down and the upper tree keeps it from sliding up, so it stays in place. The o-rings are the babies that keep the air in. You should be using new o-rings so that you don't have any future problems. Be sure to lubricate with a little oil before you slide it all together but then clean the oil from the fork end that fits into the upper tree. If you need more info, I'll post at 5 am tomorrow. Don't be afraid to ask if you're not sure. Carl

    Goes on first, then the air joint goes in on top, then the spacer\damper, then the steering head presses down on it all to hold it together. Hope that helps.

    Nice job, took my front wheel off and put the buffer to it, took about 1 hour for just the edge, course then I got a 1st gen. Trick is to keep it looking good, any wild ideas out there?
  21. Marcarl
    What happened at the dealer?

    I changed my tire last spring to an Avon, I'd say at this point it's only 1\2 used. Took my wheel off for maintainance and balance and the splines are totally dry with all the grease nicely spread around on the plastic cover. Now if I was to wait to do this at the next tire change it would be running dry for a long time, question is at this point how long has it been dry already. So my question then would be: has anyone ever taken the rear wheel of and found actual grease on the splines? and if so what did you use and how slow do you drive or do you normally just walk beside it? And yes my rubber is in place.

    I thought it would mean, motor cycles use caution or you'll be walking.
