  1. So how does the phone actually stay in the mount. My current mount is a RAM and the X type. I have an LG2 Previous to this I had a mount I got off e-bay and it had a small ledge sort of on the bottom and then the side pieces "pushed in to clamp" the sides.
  2. If engine will turn over, change plug. If its "stuck" you might be able to pull plug, fill what you can of cyl with like ATF or some light weight oil and let it soak for awhile. Try to flush the fuel lines and get pre-mix up to carb and a new plug and see if it will run. If the rings/piston are bad, I would say chance are it will cost more in parts than what its worth. I'm actually thinking if mine dies going cordless. Home Depot has a cordless job (I think its Bosch or Ryobi) that uses the same batteries as the drill saw etc.
  3. Hmm rite now my brain aint seeing it. So guessed I missed it. But sometimes vanity plates do that unless you are kind of on same wave length. Only vanity we have had was when we were in Oklahoma. 2DRACES
  4. You would like to think there would be an oil film on the cams wouldnt you. But actually with the covers on I dont think you have that issue as it "sealed" so to speak. But I think I get what your saying. If it didnt have a coating for a couple days, what the heck happens on a start up after those same amount of days.
  5. I lost a "ring" off one of my lights and then the lens fell out. I managed to find the lens (although it had a chip in it) and resecured it. I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement light assy. I mounted up the brackets mine are alum clamps) and once got them aimed where I wanted them. Locktite the screws. There are also a couple of set screws on that bracket.
  6. I'll pay the ticket if it keeps the soccer mom who dropped her cell phone when her starbucks burned her lip dont run me a$$ over. I think they are more or less talking about like an ambulance type lights. A couple flashes then steady shouldn't get you to much grief. Shoot you can do the same thing tapping your brake a couple times while stopping. Just one of them things, if a LEO gives you a ticket for this he has a really slow day or you PO him.
  7. Now if this bloke get his tank fixed for say $40 do ya think it has paid for his membership? LOL
  8. I have a digital gauge that was about $10-12. This here is the dodger. Have one like this I actually bought to carry on bike but dont like the angle of the dangle. Both read the same. I have checked them against a gauge I had when racing that cost over $100. Its not digital but if they read 40 psi the needle shows 40. Oh and I wanted to ask, what kind of rear tire. My E3 got the choppy tread thing going before I changed it.
  9. REGISTERED ??? Whaaaat I thought they just stuck numbers they like on them things an then go terrorize the beaches and try to run over folks at the beach with kids.
  10. Mine has had a heated seat here lately. Wish I could figure out how to turn it off. LOL Man when it cools down here we have to get something together.
  11. Look up some "paintless dent repair" guys. When I lived in Oklahoma this option was just starting out. They use some kind of steel rod with special tips and roll the dents out without bondo or paint.
  12. Sounds almost like ping/spark preignition. Engine is igniting fuel prior to spark plug, so poor power. Typily next higher grade of fuel will stop it. But as you have found an RPM adjustment helps also.
  13. See if you still had the Venture you would have plenty of heat. lol Im good to atleast 40, chaps work well. Fingers are what do me in.
  14. Looks to me plug in your numbers on your scoot. Height weight etc. Then on bottom it gives some dimensions. Compare those to what your would be on the other bike
  15. From where I sit most all of you are yankees. We normally try to schedule our trip on the bike the 2nd week in Oct up to Nc mountains. Last couple years has been hot traveling even then. But I know the ones starting from Way up there say Ohio north might get caught in some bad stuff.
  16. I use the Rotella. Weather in syn or dino. Both are good oils. A galon of the dino will run you about 20 bucks and the syn 22 @ wally world.
  17. A word of advice. I have done a couple of these. The way I recommend installing is when you get the shock it will have a set screw looking thing on the bottom of the shock. This is to adjust the rebound I think. Anyways you will want access to this if you change loads. Say you normally ride one up and then decide to go 2 up with gear. You will need a bit more stiffening of the shock. the supplied allen wrench will go in this adjuster and take the setting up or down. So install the shock so this screw is accessible from the right hand side of the bike. That way when its on the side stand you can get at it a little easier as it is higher on that side.
  18. Glad it worked for you. Thats one thing I like about that style of peg. It is very adjustable to suit your fit. At $60 thats about 1/3 of new.
  19. Funny thing is I never watched the show in prime time slot when it was on. I was stationed in Oklahoma and was working swing shift for awhile. When I would come home the news was going off and Cheers was after the late news. so as I was unwinding from the day thats when I started watching it.
  20. Didnt the early ones (4cyl) use the KZ 1000 motor?
  21. RTV works pretty well. Best luck I have had with it on plastic stuff is to let it semi-set up. Then install screws. It just sort of "gums" up the threads but does sufficiently enough they dont seem to back out.
  22. You can start by looking here maybe.
  23. I have sync'd up my GPS and ODO on trips, and have to agree the ODO is pretty dang close. I think less than 3-5 miles difference on a long trip of say 6-700 miles. been awhile now so not exactly sure but I dont recall it being 10-15 miles for sure.
  24. Tank is easy to get off once you find the front bolts. I think I looked forb30 min first time I went to pull mine. One bolt either side of front part of frame by forks sort of. The other is under the seat, rear center of seat, its like 12mm bolt. The fronts should be like 5mm allen I think it is. Turn petcock to off.
  25. For just fit over stuff your going to be limited I think. The wife has a couple pairs of fit over sun glasses. I have a pair of them also in amber for overcast days or rain. So far have not had the fogging problem. Your other option is probably goggles that will fit over your specs. Personaly I like having my Rx sunglasses. Looking into getting some new ones. Benn looking into the Wyle X as thats best price on our insurance. Wyle has some listed as motorcycle and have a foam seal kind of thing, and it is removable if you dont care for it. And they are ansi shatter resistant.
