    If you dont have a warning image as well as the red light, you may be using an lcd bulb in the tail or have a burnt out bulb. (the LCD doesnt use enough current and the computer console thinks there a dead bulb) You got a great deal on your 85, i paid a whole lot more than that for mine.. enjoy!! Brian

    Now I get on the bike from the right side when it's leaning to the left on the side stand. Kinda look like an olympian running the high hurdles. ---Condor Thats why I park my scoot in a Baxley la chock any time I am at home , theres no lean so I can get on from either side depending on which knee or hip aint working right,,,,lol!

    A guy I have met a few times has changed out the signal light sockets and bulbs on his scoot and done some rewiring so that when he puts the brakes on one filament in the signals come on also. the signals run on the other filament in the new 2 filament bulb. I was thinking this might be a way to be a bit more visible without a lot of modding and messing around. I am wondering if it would be legal tho..... Brian

    hi I have never tried that company, but i have tried newenough.com several times and they give great service and have super prices. (and even their shipping to Canada is reasonable) You might check their closeout section, a couple of days ago they had ladies mesh jackets with amour and liner at 25 bucks! (might all be gone but worth checking). heres a link http://newenough.com/closeouts Brian

    You didnt perhaps fill gas just before the synch and get a bunch of bad gas? Just grasping at straws here Brian
  11. friesman
    Thats how it works for me too. Around here we have flat prairie for 6 hours in any direction and the speedlimit is 100kph but the RCMP wont stop you until youre over120KPH , ....so.... we usually go abour 130kph as you can usually see anything entering or leaving the highways a long way in advance, but when I do that my mileage drops to about 35-40 mpg. When I am riding along the lake roads where its twistv and slower I am always around 45 or higher for mileage. Brian

    Sure Ill host it in Saskatchewan but you guys might all fall asleep driving over the flat treeless prairie for 6 hours in any direction to get here.....LOL! And you know we dont want any riders having trouble with sleeping and driving. (but at our age sometimes we need to pull over and have a nap anyway...) Brian:cool10:

    Its amazing the differences in our 2 countries. Although we are so alike in so many ways, we are so different on this point. ( At least in my circle of people) . No one has a handgun for protection up here, and I only know of 1 or 2 that might have a shotgun for protection up here. I guess because handguns have never been freely available up here they just havnt gotten into very many hands and not into very many criminal hands. I wont say we never have a shooting but it seems to be very isolated incident up here..( we use Knives or bats, I guess....) I dont know which countries approach is better, but I just had to make the observation as it seemed so striking to me. Brian

    No it goes,,,,,,to proud to beg.........get your lyrics straight...lol Brian

    I just went to Uhaul and rented a bike trailer for 20 bucks a day and hauled my 85 home. I took it directly over to the Motor licensing office and had them check the VIn right there ( and they check the engine id here also to make sure it matches to the bike) paid my money took her and unloaded her into the garage.

    bug off

    friesman replied to a topic in General Tech Talk

    I had a bunch of bugs on my windsheild a few days ago, and didnt have anything to clean it off with. I found my bottle of Plasma tv screen cleaner and did it ever do a great job! it lifted the bug residue and left the windshield nice and clean, no swirls, and not much scrubbing. If its good enough for my plasma I guess it should be ok for my Scoot! (the Pledge I use from time to time didnt seem to be an issue either, but it did take all of the pledge off too) Brian:cool10:

    Now I have a good idea of what to look for. I hope to get a look at it tomorrow if the weather is better. My garage is too small to work in, The parking lot works better. lol Thanks again for the input and wisdom! Brian:cool10:

    I think the 89 1st gen has electric antidive on the front forks, so that would account for your draw. The older 1st gens used Hydraulic antidive forks Brian

    Hey Rocket! good to see youre back home safe. thanks for stopping by and making the pizza run out to Regina Beach with me. I have checked coolant and it is full, but I will check the contacts as soon as I get time, (Prolly tomorrow). Brian

    I have dashlights, signal lights and voltmeter and they do seem to work properly, but the hibeam indicator, engine heat indicator and headlight warning light are out. If it was all on one side of the cluster, i would have thought it was an electical board , but with it kinda hit and miss on the panel, I am not sure. Brian
  22. friesman
    Have you tried the lock on the front of the bag also, not just the top lock>?
  23. friesman
    In the last couple of days Ive noticed that my headlight warning light, highbeam indicator light plus my engine temp indicator have all quit on my 85 1st gen. I havnt had a chance to look at the ride yet to try to diagnose, but are these all on the same fuse? Or is it a sign my instrument cluster is headed south on me? I would like to get a few ideas so when I get time I can try them out and see what works. Thanks for all your input, I really appreciate the shared wisdom. Brian

    I just bought a tube of Automotive goop to attach the chrome ornament to my front fender, its worked for me before on other similar stuff. (at least nothing has fallen off yet...heheh) Brian:cool10:
  25. friesman
    Your problens are almost identical to mine, I finally gave up and swapped out the whole unit to a Automotive Kenwood head unit. If you want an amp to experiment with to eliminate the possibility of making yours unusable, I can send my old one down to you, if you want it. I just want it out of my way and youre welcome to it, if you can use it. Brian:cool10:
