    I would but it is not on sale till this spring. Talked with my insurance company and I am good there, looks like Hertz has the best deal so far $307 after taxes and fees for the week.

    Ok why has nobody got a halloween decoration yet? I have an excuse my bike is torn apart. I guess I could push it to my neighbors house.

    Going to visit my Grandkids in Illinois for Thanksgiving and I am considering renting a luxury Car or Minivan to make the 12 hour each way trip a little more comfortable (would ride but my daughter and her boyfriend are going too). I have never rented a car for pleasure so I have never had to deal with all the diffrent add ons. I have heard that my insurance will cover some damage and that credit cards will cover some items but I am not sure guess I should give them a call. The other thing is which rental companies do not charge per mile if you leave the area. Enterprise charges $.25 a mile if you are going further than the adjoining states. Any advice/tips are appriciated.

    Had a guy on facebook selling a 2000 MM he was asking 10K and the bike had alot of miles and no accessories and when a couple people suggested he was a little high he went off the deep end.

    I rode all day last winter in 20 degree weather and did bit feel cold all day, stopped in to give blood that evening and my temp was 90 they would not take my blood and said I had hypothermia I had no clue so I guess my point is just be very careful even if you do feel warm.

    Rules out what I was thinking, I am going to have to do some digging on this one. Did you try the passenger PTT yet?
  14. etcswjoe
    Have you noticed if the Tx indicator comes on when you push the button to change channels?
  15. etcswjoe
    That's a new one on me. Does the TX indicator come one when you hit the push to talk or does it just change channels?
  16. etcswjoe

    It actually drops more at higher RPMS, I decided to go ahead and take off the cover and replace the stator, yeah good luck with that I tried the trick of heating the screws up to melt the loctite but they still do not want to budge. I am to the point were I am willing to pay someone to remove it for me (any takers ?). I also think I am going to order one of the upgrades any suggestions?

    Had very little crude around the plug and it was only slightly dirty inside I used Cramoline to clean it. It was a pain to get to, I really want to save soldering as a last resort.

    OK folks I want to go to the East TN to camp out next so I need to fix this quick. Back in March I started out to Norfolk on my bike got about 75 miles away and it stopped charging had the wife bring me the battery out of my other bike so I could get back home. Got back home and the bike was not charging took all the connectors apart cleaned them and the bike was charging just fine went another thousand miles and the bike was fine until I rode it to work one day and it was dead by the time I got to work. Charged the battery at work to get me back home, when I got home it was charging I checked the rectifier and it seemed to be a little out of specs so I replaced it with one Steel Horse Cowboy sent me (thanks again). Well today I pulled my trailer around for about 60 miles and I noticed at the red light I was not charging however when I turned off my driving lights it was charging again got it home and it was still charging but only about 13 volts. I have an extra stator (that Steel Horse Cowboy sent me) but I would like some confirmation before I dig into it. The voltages test fine when I have it loose but its not under load at that point. Thanks all and it sure is nice to be riding again. Joe

    I think I understand what he was trying to do, he probally did not want to get a converter for the bike to run the 4 wire vice 5 wire or did not know one exsited.
