    IF your tach is wired to the stator, then that might explain how AC is getting into the system although its hard to imagine.

    Kent, glad you and Al made it home Ok, even if it had to be a 1,000m mile Monday. And thanks for the steering bearing and shock upgrade clinic on Friday, and tightening my steering bearings for me on Saturday. I should be able to do the ones on my Millenium now.

    Glad you found a seat that's more comfortable for you. For myself, I wonder about the 1-1/2 higher seating position on a bike already top heavy. The extra seat height would put it out of my comfort zone in terms of leg length.

    so who got tipped over? http://venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=57351&d=1307448444

    It seems that 200,000 miles is the stock answer. It might go longer with the proper maintenance and some luck. I agree that changing the oil at 2,000 miles seems a bit more often than necessary, assuming you also change the filter. 3,000 miles with dino oil and 5,000 with full synthetic should be often enough to stay ahead of oil breakdown and contamination. When you finally start to lose compression at 200,000 or more miles in another 15 years, it will likely be cheaper to change out the complete engine than rebuilding the origonal.

    read the posts by member Skydoc_17 (Earl) on clutch upgrades. he sells kits to rebuild. I think they are in the classified.

    I have a pair of Chippewa engineer boots with steel toe. they are everything a MC riding boot should be. http://www.chippewaboots.com/category/STREET_WARRIOR These boots should last a lifetime.

    Sleeperhawk wants to check his valve clearances, so I'll ride over for a day to test flyinfool's tool soon.

    The normal crew was camped around the tree, and it wasn't the same without you two.

    Sounds like a good project. I thought we'd be seeing pics of your new Vette.. ?
  18. RandyR
    Looking real good. You did a great job.

    Just tie his leash somewhere and let him run alongside...

    welcome. How many miles on the bike? The tires might be a contributing factor. What tires do you have (likely Bridgestones) and how many miles on them? and are they inflated per sidewall spec? The Bridgestones are noisy. And if the tires have become cupped, then you can have vibration from that.

    Thanks to you and Eileen for hosting this event. I think its the perfect mix of work and play, but then again I'm not wrenching it all day like those mentioned. Thanks to V7Goose and Monty for helping me get some needed tasks accomplished. It was great seeing the Squid again. Oh yes, and finally getting to meet Annie and Al from Australia. And Annie the VR mascot kept a watch on everything to make sure we all had a good time. And thanks to Hummingbird for the icecream.

    good to see you again Walter. I was ready to climb off the bike when I got home at 10pm

    Sounds like we'll have to come up with an award for best side dish to encourage more of this kind of thinking.... I'm not a judge and you can't bribe me (easily).

    The ST7317 is fairly highly rated, and only costs $2.50 at Walmart.

    If you fill it too full, it will run out an overflow. Usually there is an obvious wet spot under the bike. I don't fill mine (with hole in filler neck) all the way to the top unless I'm going to get on it and ride.
