Yep it should have said buy ...part of the problem of typing on a smart phone when the font is like size 1.

When the truth hurts........ Buy a 1st Genner...
-
Yea..but as everybody knows..what a 1st Genner says is always fact. And the fact is ...she does.. Thank the Lord for that...
-
Welcome back... we need more 1st Genners to keep the 2nd Genners where they are comfortable....behind us and in 2nd place. Two beautiful blondes in one garage....what a fantasy...
-
Ahhh..sorry my mistake. I'll plan on the bananas and ice cream but it's obvious the nuts will already be there.. And I'll be riding the 1st Genner cherry....
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! NOW GO HUG YOUR 1ST GEN AND KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU REALLY ARE !!
-
Thanks..looks good..just ordered it. Now get out of bed and ship the thing to me ..

1) starter button sticks when started. Just gotta pull it back out. Maybe just a cleaning would fix it. FIXED - ELECTRICAL CLEANER 2) Appears to have an oil leak on the top left front cylinder cap. Add washers to shoulder bolts 3) front fork seals leaking. Replace front seals 4) Cruise control not working. EVERYTHING (ALL LIGHTS) SEEMS TO WORK...MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE SPEEDO NEEDING LUBE 5) the steering is VERY tight. when turned right and left. while riding it I made a u-turn and it was a little scary trying to just straighten up. When it is on the center stand you can feel the tightness when rotating back and forth. I know that the steering head bearings are an issue but I do not know how they feel if bad. are they lose? Are they tight ? Are they hard to change other than pulling the front forks ? SEEMS TO HAVE LOOSENED UP FROM RIDING IT WILL LUBE WHEN FORK SEALS ARE DONE 6) No service records. YEP...NONE 7) Probably need valves adjusted since no records, although I didn't hear any knocking NO KNOCKING, NO SMOKE BLOWING, EASY START ..NO ISSUE AT THIS TIME. Oh Yea... it shows a flashing red light that he said was the battery which also showed up n the display. he said it was a new after market battery but didn't have the "probe" as the original battery had ... Does that make any sense ? WILL COMPLETE PROBE CIRCUIT FIX AS SHOWN IN THREAD. STILL A FASTER, BETTER LOOKING, SMOOTHER, HEAD TUNING, 1ST GENNER.... Anything else ?

I am telling your wife that you are not behaving yourself while she is gone !!
-
In continuing with the holiday and CHRISTmas spirit of being with those less fortunate than yourself, I have invited my friend who rides a 2nd Gen to my daughter's and granddaughter's welcome home party tomorrow.... It seems to be the charitable thing to do..... and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than hiring a clown for entertainment ....
-
So I need to do my front fork seals. I thought I lucked out when I found a new set of Pyramid seals and dust covers. Now I have heard to use only OEM seals. But I have also heard that OEM seals are a hit and miss too. So...in the spirit of starting an oil and/or tire type debate.. Should I use these or scrap them and buy different ones.
-
No ...not my thing...but my wife asked that you order her some lipstick, #345LT, at your Mary Kay party tonight....
-
Good part is when you drip the vanilla ice cream on the Toga...you can't see it !
-
Geez......why are 2nd Genners so cranky ???? Oh yea.... They are 2nd Genners......kinda like the Napoleon syndrome.......
-
I was given that idea in a PM a little while ago..thanks...sounds like the direction I will go in...hopefully that will work so I don't have to contaminate my bike with 2nd Genner parts.
-
I heard he was going to order tofu burgers and invite a bunch of 2nd Genners over so all the hot air would just melt it.... Just a rumor I heard...
-
2nd Gen parts on my 1st Gen Princess ???? That would take a bottle of Jack Daniels and a stun gun. But I'll consider it. Guess a 1st Gen with a 2nd Gen part on it is still better, faster and more adorable than a 2nd Gen.
-
The bike came with a new set of Pyramid seals and dust covers. Supposedly they are real rubber seals not synthetic. Hate to spend $40.00 bucks when I have these, but I don't want to do the job twice either. I have heard that OEM seals are as much of a hit and miss as after market..??
-
I rode my friend's 2001 Venture over Thanksgiving weekend. Two things came of that ... I was Thankful I got a 1st Gen... and I was thankful I got a 1st Gen. I have learned a valuable life lesson though.... Friends don't let friends get 2nd Gens... Sometimes life is so poetic..
-
Do we give Big Tom a day or two off ? or do we just start Gen....errr I mean.. Phase 2 of the harassment ?
-
The oil leak looks to be at the top valve cover on the right side. I do plan to grease everything with the dielectric grease. Have seen a few mentions in other posts about the TCI so I guess I need to add that to the list and find a thread as to what/where when and why the TCI needs to be moved. ( hint for thread link) Also, what is the tip on the oil leak ?
-
Uhm......naw.....
-
I have a small oil leak on the top of one of the front cylinders, I want to wire for 2 12-volt plugs and check the wiring for the front lower lights. Just seemed like all that would be easier to do without all the plastic.
-
That is news to me and good to know..thanks.
-
Thanks for the info. I am going to remove it so I can do the fork seals/springs and a few other items/wiring under there all at the same time. It looked pretty intense, but I appreciate the step by step. That will help. Funny about the loctite comment since on my KLR650, Loctite is a common addition...in fact KLR stands for Keep Loctite Ready !
