    You have no idea how much it hurt saying that

    As much as it pains me to say this...Kreg is right If all you can handle doing is changing plugs and carb syncs then thats what it will be. It really turns into a huge BS session anyhow If your not apprehensive about splitting the front fairing you could hook up Y splitters and run an aux line for using an MP3 player. Give plenty of time for folks to plan for it and others with additional experience will more than likely show up.

    I would check both front and rear shock pressures, he should probably be running about 45 in the rear with 2 up loaded and I would say 4 to 5 in the front

    Gunny, I have relocated several TCI's with no heat related issues. I also believe that you would have had a lot more heat in the stock area, there is more between the heat source and the TCI now to reduce the heat that will make it to it. I have put several thousand miles on various 1st gens with relocated TCI's and never had any issues

    Darren, Pick a date and a time, you can put a poll up to see of the interest in it, but I assure you that if you set it in stone folks will show up. Try to make it so it doesn't conflict with any other rally's or such and just do it. Also dont try to micro manage it, once they get going they have a mind of their own, just bump it in the right direction every now and then. You wont believe how much fun you will have regardless if 5 or 25 people show up. Have it a dish to pass and maybe throw some dead beast on the grill....but I warn you, they are addictive!

    Speaker

    I had good luck with Boston Acoustics in the past as I used a set on my '84 and was happy with the results. I noticed this set on Crutchfield and how it has a lower RMS which would be good for the stock amp on the bike. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_065S45/Boston-Acoustics-S45.html?search=4+inch+speakers I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair to install on a 1st or 2nd gen...

    I have run both sizes, personally I will never go back to the 130 for the reasons stated above. I never felt the bike was solid on the slabs and we did a lot of slab running. The 150 has more meat to the ground and we dont get blown around as much....

    Always check your pressures when the tires are cold.

    Kill Switch, or tap on the starter while pushing the button, perhaps the starter solenoid.....shots in the dark at a quick response. There are also the 4 spade fuses that are fwd and right of the main fuses on the battery, check them too.

    It's on the cover of the one I pulled off, says boost sensor on it...
  13. Squidley
    Check to make sure the running light wire to the back isn't severed...
  14. Squidley
    I think we can educate you on the proper use of it
  15. Squidley
    It seems I am on the list now too, I pulled the '86 I just bought down to the frame and pulled the TCI for relocation on the airbox and decided to pull the boost sensor also. Well it doesn't hold a vacuum and has a hole in the case. If anyone has another boost sensor I'd love to chat with you...

    All the best to you Mike and here's hoping for a quick recovery.

    Cool Beans, best of luck to them both!

    Best of sucess with your operation Bob, I hope it gives you the relief you need
  19. Squidley
    We can also take the set off the '99 in the corner and do them

    I never do unless there is a problem detected. The hard stem valves will last forever.

    JM, Goose brings up good points, he and I dont always agree but I value his judgment as he has time to test products out more than I. The one bike I mentioned didn't have a rubbing issue, but that could have just been a fluke of luck. Now something Goose and I agree upon is Avon Venom tires, I love them and although some folks have had isolated incidents on sidewall cracks, I have never had issues with them. If your looking to get out of the E3's due to your wet handling experience I would definitely recommend you try the Avons

    Hell you dun hillbillyfied him! a helmet and bare feet!!

    You just didn't try hard enough Good talking with you yesterday

    Fuzzy, When Seafoam hit the roof in price I quit using it. I have used B12 for many years now and I have used it in the bikes to help clean the fuel systems. Now I dont have hard crunched data with MPG or any such thing, I dont have time to do that. Do I notice a difference in most the times I have used it, yes it appears that it does make things run better. This is just my personal opinion FWIW, your results may vary

    Thanks Buddy!
