  1. Very sweat looking bike. What happened to the cavalcade?
  2. Up here its deer season every day,,,,,,,would you grab me a beer please deer......
  3. Most people settle for a garage sale ......But Nooo you had to go one better didn't you.
  4. Now that you mention it
  5. Just saying a NAP is not good enough. For an experienced napper such as yourself that may be all the info that is required but there are a lot of newbies on here and they may require more in depth detail about proper napping or they may mess it up.
  6. If its electronic I would start with checking the road speed sensor for loose or faulty connections. Disconnect the sensor and check resistance across the wires. Most two wire sensors read between 800 and 1800 ohms depending on make You may find the proper number in the spec section of the shop manual. Next with the meter still hooked up but set to AC volts or AC milli volts (the sensor produces an AC voltage signal) slowly start rotating the wheel increasing the speed You should see a steady and smooth climb in voltage as the wheel speeds up and a steady reading if you spin the wheel at a fixed speed. If this all checks out check all connections from sensor to control module to gauge. Last try another gauge if you can get your hands on one. If its a Mechanical gauge check your speedo cable. If its dry or starting to fray it can spin in an erratic manner causing the gauge to jump all over the place. If it checks out OK and is only dry re-lube it and retest the speedo. If it still acts up try another speedo head. If its pretty much the end of the ridding season park the bike and maybe over the winter the issue will disappear.
  7. Welcome back to the site Ray.
  8. Don't get that but have had repeated thumping sensation coming from the back. Sometimes I feel it in my back and other times in my helmet. I assume it is suspension related since it only occurs while riding two up .
  9. This is like the one I have only I bought mine out of the clearance section at Canadian tire.
  10. Is that what makes the difference between yellow corn and white corn
  11. Unless of course you planned on repainting the bike anyway and needed to strip off the existing paint. Just say'n BTW back bleeding with a syringe or pressure bottle is my 1st choice as well. Have tried using a washer pump like I use on the big rigs but it is way too fast and turns the open master into a mini fountain. Pretty but messy
  12. Take a length about 18 to 24 inches of rubber heater hose or similar. Put an ear plug in one ear and hold one end of the hose to your other ear. Move the other end around the engine listening to see if you can pinpoint were the sound is coming from.
  13. You just never know and those are the type of things that worry most whether in a car or on a bike. A friend of my parents lost their son, who I had known since I was a small boy, this summer when a transport truck going east on the 403 suddenly shot across a twenty or so foot grass ditch crossed the west bound side and went up the opposite bank. In doing so he took my friend and his car who was traveling on the west bound side, up the bank with him and instantly killed him.
  14. Very Nice!
  15. Welcome back old friend.
  16. You were there so your not wrong that was prior to getting on the ferry at Tobermory ON on our way home from Galena IL
  17. $2.00 bicycle bottle holder with 16 oz bottle also holds JoMoe and JoMoe XL mugs
  18. If you got a DadBod then you don't need the extra layer......You already gots one ........
  19. So I assume the foot is doing well.
  20. What no hot coco. I,m not doing any winter riding with you!
  21. Yes remove and toss the wire keeper the two half washers and the half disc. This is all replaced by a full disc. in the Barnett kit which comes with the proper number of discs and steels and eliminates the need for the half disc, washers and wire retainer.
  22. It sounds like you installed too many parts. If you got the Barnett clutch complete with a full set of discs,The only parts required are those included in the Barnett clutch Kit. Also you take the the OEM retainer wire half disc and the two thin washers on either side of the disc and install them into the nearest trash can as they are not used with the Barnett clutch pack. Also there are no alignment markings to concern yourself with as with the OEM clutch pack.
