If it stinks its parts cleaner. other wise I use it. If I am real worried about it I mix some seafoam and put it in car.

I just got home from a 3000 mile trip out to Billings Montana. We left central Fl Sat morning. By our second day out we saw the weather was turning bad so we made as much time as we could with the "bomb storm" bearing down. WE made it to Billings Tue and Wed The almost exact route we took up from Tx thru Colorado got blasted. Roads closed and all that. It looked bad as it moved east. Hope you all are OK.

Well I use to carry a larger assortment than now. I carry a leatherman tool on my belt. My current Victory didnt even come with tools. Maybe one of those flip screw drivers, small pair of vise grips and a plug wrench. I also carry a tire plug kit and cO2 inflator. Oh yea and a credit card. Think about it, what are you actually going to fix on the side of the road. You aint changing no tire (the bike is 900lb and has to be lifted high to get tire off). Check it over before you leave, and if your not confident it's going to make it repair it.

I ran that pump for a couple years. I never had issue with the siphoneffect. But no far as I k oe the pump dont have the check valve. If I parked for long tims say over night I closed off valve.

Good luck. I hVe heard that some of the newer units actually the Doc can "tune" via a bluetooth and office visit.

Yea my boss wife has a newer escape, but cable issues he has had fixed on warranty

I liked the V 92's when they came out. There was a couple years they had a trans issue. Over all a pretty solid ride though. And like the Venture its unique. I love my Vic Cross Country, and when people say "nice looking bike, is it a harley?" You can say nope its the other American bike.

Info e-mailed. If you got some DTC that might help.

F-18 Navy birds were the Hornet. Blue Angles fly those birds. USAF Thunderbirds fly F-16 Falcons

Shoot me an email. I have charging system diagram. But it sure dont show much. Go by and see if there are any codes set. That would be a big help. Voltage drop across battery aint really gonna tell ya much. Need to drop across from batter to engine and other ground attachements

Saddlebum, I have access to some wire diagrams at work. I'll see if I can copy and download tomorrow. PCM does control alternator output on most newer cars. My lead instructor wife has a newer Escape and they have had issues with the battery cables corroding inside the plastic shielding. They swell with corrosion and loose ability to flow correct current. I will agree it is sounding like a ground issue. Look that cable over and clean them up. For grins connect a jumper cable from say the battery to a engine block/ground and see if gremlins go away.

Ah ok. Thanks. Still stinks they think they have to hack everyone else out to stay "in the game"

On the "Bobs the oil guy" site the super tech oil filters always performed will. My guess is maybe they got mercury to bottle oil up for them?

Sooo If I download the music to the hardrive, then disconnect from router I wonder if it will still upload music.

Oh my that sounds a bit much for me to do rite now. So far it has worked fine.

I use an old I phone 4 as my player on my Victory. I have I tunes on my PC but have not done any music for a couple years. It does not have BT on it so I wonder if its going to foul things up.

At 8.50 a quart, you should look into rotela t6. Usually runs 21 bucks a gallon. I can find Mobil one for almost the $8.50 price on sale sometimes.

Only those of us that were raised with rules, and cause and effect do things legally.

Or for those cross boarder trips without delay. https://youtu.be/MXgstr7x4AQ

Yea ours have some kind of message about has to be some kind of "approved" proof of who ya is to be able to fly, cross boarder "legally" etc. Then there is a note that if there is a star on upper right side it already is OK. Mine is one of those. But my question is what picture are they going to use? The one from 5 years ago? Possibly the one from the post office?

Reset the DCHP, then restarted the router last night so when it starts counting minutes to release or whatever it does it would be later at night. Tried a race tonight and it was OK. Hope it stays good.

I just got a letter from Fla driver licence division. If I send them a check by XX date I get my licence for $51, If I go online and use a credit card its like $55-58 bucks. If I go in to the local office, I must take an eye exam and the cost will then be $64 bucks. So I guess the "eye test" part is reading and filling out the application.

Tonight in a practice 9:21 to the minute......disconnected. This time the comms went to. So finally figured out how to get in router and changed the DCHP to 2880 minutes. Which it the longest it would allow. Try again tomorrow and see.

I run in an online racing league a few nights a week. So for about 6-8 weeks now at the same time virtually every night while racing my PC drops me out of server. I can almost set a clock, @ 9:20 it is going to drop me. I run a comm program at the same time on same PC and that stays live. I had Comcast guy out last week he changed a splitter and of course reset modem (lol reminds me of my old Sprint phone) So that Thursday night all was good. Last night 9:21 bang error code comes up cars disapear and I'm dropped again, comms stay up and fine, not even get choppy. Any ideas? I read about some folks having similar issues and resetting something DCHP time in router. But that sounded more like a complet everything disconnects.

@leroy heres another "how come" for ya. Being in the land of retires we see 100's of RV's. So pops retires and has never drove anything bigger than a mini van. Buy himself the big ole 40' diesel pusher on the greyhound chassis. Nerve drove anything half that size of with air brakes. No special endorsement required, but we have to have a special licence. But the RV industry can lobby for that. So the whole more insurance for non-lid guys being a loop hole for cops to stop ya invasion privacy whatever. So what if they just slam everyone that rides with paying a minimum coverage to cover those that dont lid. Then they couldnt stop ya to check if insurance was enough because all of that ride would have to pay higher rates for their choice. Then those of us that do wear a helmet get screwed. I still can reason why here in Fl and other states a guy on a bike have a choice to wear a helmet. But yet I'm in a 5k truck and will get a ticket for no seat belt? Thats a dumb as a screen door on a submarine.
