It's a tough call as to what actually let go in the case. Where it's located at it could be the transmission gears. I looked it over as best I could with the inspection mirror, but that is the only tell tale sign I saw. I was the one to mention to him not to touch it, let the dealer take it apart and come up with a diagnosis. We definitely dont want him having any hard time by them saying you screwed around with it. I'll be interested to find out what happened and mentioned to Dave to ask to see the engine once it's apart if they tear it down there at the dealership.

So Sorry for my tardiness of getting a pic up Mini....but as stated here she is. Let me tell you folks something, not only does she look like Mini, but has that hell fire attitude also! Oh BTW Duke, she said that she is moving back to Florida in a couple of years as soon as her kid graduates. I might give you folks over there a Christmas gift and tell her about the M&E's y'all have

Happy Birthday My Friend!!!

I would normally agree with you folks about 37 being riding weather. I have to say after the rain and the wind blowing about 20+ mph....I was a Popsicle! But thats ok I knew I would acclimate at some point and I still was riding in mid January...so I'll try not to whine so much

Hey Boomer, We totally understand the circumstances of why you couldn't be in Texas this weekend, and we are with you and your gals family with their loss. That being said, we know how much you like your cheesecake, so we wanted to send you a flavorless sampling of the cheesecake we had in your honor....it was Cherry

Just a quick shout to those following the travels of our own Wes 0778. I met him in Dayton TX and rode with him back to our house, as he was coming from Sulphur LA after spending the night with BoomerCPO. Walt gets the Brass Cahonies award as he rode through some lousy weather heading West. The temperature just kept dropping and by the time we got to our house it was 37 degrees and windy as hell the whole time. I was frozen from riding the 80 miles there and back, and you all know how well insulated I am

Engine Upgrade
Squidley replied to Officer Dave's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Dave, As Jeff mentioned engine upgrades will be expensive. I know of a few 2nd gen Royal Stars that have gone to the expense of installing Vmax cams in their engines, but thats not cheap. Depending on how your shifting, you might not be getting the most out of the engine. These bikes like high revs, the factory rev limiter is at about 6500 rpms. This can be changed with the install of a Dana 3000 ignition which will allow you to raise the rev limiter to 7500 rpms and advance the timing curves. Depending upon how you ride the bike and if you'll be pulling a trailer a Vmax or FJR 1300 rearend will give you a bit more off the line performance. Making absolute sure that the carbs are set up properly and tuned right will make a big difference. Just a couple things to think about before you start jumping into the engine -
5 foot nothing, Red haired, fiery and feisty as a cornered Badger! She needs all the adult supervision she can get. Muffinman gave up years ago knowing it was a lost cause. She is a devious little devil originally from NY, but now painted up as a sweet southern girl from NC on the outside. As mischievous as Curious George and ALWAYS stirring the pot. I think we need to duct tape her to a chair at MD with armed guards watching her! This sort of comes close to an accurate description of our little angel Mini
