    OK I go a new side stand...(last one broke) I am trying to put the new (to me) one on and can't figure out how the spring holder fits on... I just can't seem to figure it out. How does that bracket and spring work? Looked at some schematics...still confused:confused24::confused24:....my brain is just on working! I guess I stayed up too late last night!! Dave

    well...at least the 1st gen go fast enough to tell they are stopped...the 2nd don't go fast enough to get tired and if they lay down to stop...they are soooo slow you couldn't tell! :stirthepot:

    I found a stand on ebay (the source for everything) and now I wait. i am looking forward to being able to get on and off without paranoia of drop my bike! I agree, check those bolts... not having a sidestand is no fun!

    Well...I went out this morning to ride to work...get on the mike thinking that it needs to be washed (to busy riding) and as I am getting ready to fire her up....I feel something give and over she goes...a controlled decent! My kickstand broke! Both the bolt and the kickstand itself! What miserable thing to happen at the being in the day!!! So now I am on a hunt for a kickstand...anyone got one that will look good on a fast, red 84???

    Seafoam

    uthpda posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Well, I was just wondering through the local Wally World and was amazed to see on the shelf...SEAFOAM! I am pleased that they are carrying this wonder stuff! I have never seen it there before, so this might be a new addition. Thought I would share my find! So for those of you that have ask where to find it...check Walmart.

    Just saw this today, I'm in Athens, OH. If you have a M&E let me know!

    I snuck away this afternoon for a hour and a half ride today.... I wish it would stay nice here in OH but it looks like winter is coming!

    I am not a wrench and with those instructions I was able to do it. It isn't hard at all. If you run into problems, just jump on the boards and you will get an answer!

    Boy....it sure is fun getting things started. I knew it would get some folks going... those 2nd gen just hate to be reminded how slow their bike really are:stirthepot: Anyway thanks for the point to some places to get a replacement and to Cmiles3 for the offer. My truck just broke down so... not "non essential" spending until that is fix and the budget is back on track. SO it will be a little while until replace the part...the nice part is that I now "HAVE TO" ride the bike until the truck is fixed.... silver lining in every cloud!

    I know that the 2nd Gen people can't understand this:stirthepot:, but I was going so fast last night that the left side vent grill blew off!!!! I looked for it on the highway today, but no luck...I did find some black plastic pieces that may have been it!!! I checked on ebay and didn't see one...anyone have one on a parts bike they are willing to sell? I hate looking at the empty hole!

    I am pretty sure that the hose between the brakes and the anti drive is brake fluid not fork oil. This explains the bled screw on the anti-drive. If it is brake fluid it would explain why the brake is not working too. If I am wrong I KNOW someone will correct me!
  13. uthpda
    I have! Tried the tube method with tranny fluid...not fun! I did alittle more looking and found instructions to make a home one with bottle.... check it out here...http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_synchronize_the_carburetors%3F It seems to work pretty well and much easier to mess with!

    I replaced to the rely on the horns...works great!! Life is good!

    I have removed the windshield, fairings, etc...I have pretty much torn it all down. I have found a box that is labeled 41R-71... which is for BOTH turn signals and hazard. So one thing I am confused about is others seem to indicate that there are multiple boxes... even with seperate part numbers... I can only find one unit. What am I missing here? Anyone here have a unit that they are willing to sell?
  19. uthpda
    Ok I am confused...more than usual... I have the shop manual and in the wiring diagram it looks like the canceling unit, flasher relay and hazard relay are all separate, BUT on the bike there is only one unit that I can find (it is label flasher and hazard) SO it is one unit right? The other thing is the wire colors on in the manual don't match the wiring into the flasher unit on the bike.....at all. Anyone have the correct wiring diagram? Or am I totally off? Is it possible to rewire the flasher unit with car flasher(s) (alot cheaper) or will it cause issues? If so has anyone done it AND do you have any instructions? I am watching ebay for a unit, but it will be as old as the one I have and I am concerned about it failing, too. (maybe not realistic, but a concern anyway) I got the horn working:cool10: (hopefully it will stay that way)....just going crazy trying to get the turn signals working.

    Ok, I have check pretty much everything! I can't find any shorts....is there a way to check the flasher unit? When the unit goes out will to work occasionally and then quit? I called the dealer and they want 130 for a new one...way more than I can spend. So and thoughts on another way to make it work? help!

    AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH! I hate electrical problems. I have check and clean connections... pretty much every one I can find! I have tried taping and jiggling things to narrow down the problem...nothing! I can't seem to get them (the blinkers) to work again... they were working for a change when I started. SO.... out of desperation I thought I would check continuity... randomly! I did discover that if I use the battery ground and check the plug on the front blinker light....every pin on the plug has continuity:confused07:... that is not normal is it? If it is...ignore this....it must be grounding out somewhere right? Anybody got any thoughts? I want to ride tomorrow so I am trying to track it down tonight! Thanks for all the ideas...

    Cancellation is not a big deal (or not worth 150) has anyone found somthing else that works.... and how can I test to see if that is what it is?
  23. uthpda
    Fuse seem to be fine... haven't blown any and they seem to stay in place ok. What does the electronic flasher look like? and where is it...did you replace it with a new stock on or something else?
  24. uthpda
    I need the electrical wizards help! I have two issues... First, my turn signals only work intermittently. (Yeah I know they are supposed to go on and off....that is not what I me:no-no-no:...I have been around here long enough to know a comment was coming) Hitting bumps seems to make a difference. Any thoughts or ideas where to look? Or tests to run? Second, my horn has quit. The previous owner took off the stock horns and it now has auto horns. I have replaced the horn rely and it work for like a day. Any thought on what could be the problem? I have take apart the handlebar switch and cleaned connections, etc....didn't help. Looking for some ideas and options!, which always are in great supply around here!

    I tried this method.... my were soo far off that it kept sucking the fuild out of the tubes...and it takes forever to get the fuild back into the tubes. So cuz I am cheap I kept looking for a good way to do it without spending the $$$. I found this site and instructions. http://faq.ninja250.org/index.php/Is_there_a_carb_sync_tool%3F It works great, took me some time to get them synced but I did. Had to do 1 and 2..then 3 and 4 and then the last two. The total rig only cost me about $15 and I got a couple of ice teas to drink for the bottles. Thought someone might find this useful.
