    Time to buff out the old helmet?

    Adds a whole new spectrum to "ATGATT" don't it? Apparently this is not a new problem with saddles.

    Wow! An international Souper Star! Ya done good. Better pick up a few more sets of Foster Grants.

    Those o-rings are a common cause of minor leaks during the colder months. A lot of guys have found puddles under the bike while stored for the winter and never have a drip in the warmer months. But if they don't get moved once in a while they just are difficult to change position and start to leak. A good cleaning and a new o-ring should fix ya right up. The thread mentioned earlier here is good info on that. Mike

    Good point Gary. I know a few have removed the screw trying to change the setting with messy results.

    "ON" at 2 o'clock for draining radiator. "OFF" at 2 o'clock for normal running. The water pump drain plug needs to be out for best drainage. The drain selector only rotates unless you remove the screw, spring and detent ball to replace o-ring. When refilling the sytem leave the selector to "ON" and fill the radiator to the top. Start bike and allow fluid to circulate. (at idle) Once the fluid is staying up replace the cap and top off the over flow bottle. Set the selector to "OFF" and allow the bike to warm up and top off the overflow bottle again. Check as needed. Mike

    Had a local independent bike shop here about a year ago listed a 75% off sale on "selected" tires. I eyeballed the rack, about 50 tires, and every one of them was 6 or more years old. Not real comforting that a tire dealer was selling a product like that.

  13. Snaggletooth
    I just checked with the local BMW dealer and test rides are booked into 2014.

    I got so much to say on this but I'll leave that up to every commedian that is going to pick up on this. I'd get in trouble...... again,

    Only two things on my mind. The valve needles are not seating right or more likely the floats are not set properly and they they are causing the overflow. Mike

    Yikes! Now NO STOPPIES Gary!! Looking good. And I've been wondering how that yellow turned out. Mike
  17. Snaggletooth
    You goin' for another relay Cougar? Really?
  18. Snaggletooth
    Have one of those! 2-10-15 amp with float mode. Charges from dead flat to. For the money, not too bad of a unit.

    If you just need the line from the caliper to the anti-dive unt I MIGHT still have my old set around. I may have tossed them but I'll take a look if you need it. If needed you can swap out the long union bolt on the caliper for the short union on the anti-dive and cap off the the anti-dive port to eliminate the lines and the AD all together. Mike

    You will be using the needle valve only more than likely. You really don't want to get into replacing the seat itself unless you want to test your tolerance level. It's a bit of a job and you will need more parts. However.... replacing the needle will be fine as I seriously doubt the seat would be worn or damaged enough to warrent the seat replacement. Make sure the seat is clean an blow back though the seat out to the overflow vent to clear any obstruction in the net filter between the seat and the overflow vent. Yep there is a filter in the body also. Make sure to inspect the float body carefully also. In some cases the float has failed and is soaking up fuel or the tang is damaged allowing the float to move without restrictions. This causes the fuel to overflow out the vent. Once you get the floats set properly and fuel flowing correctly you should be in good shape. Mike

    Been there three times. One civil and two criminal. The last one was a criminal case three counts felony. Took four days of presentation in the court room and then ...... two and half weeks in the jury room. Turned out it was the first case of it's kind in the state. It was an interesting experience. Looking forward to going through that again.........NO!

    Glad ya got it hooked up. Don't matter what we ride we all make the same (oh I hate to say this) mistakes from time to time. How would I know this info? ........ Mike

    Gave it a lil boost for him but pretty fuzzy. I've never seen any like that.
  24. Snaggletooth
    Don't need to be looesen. But depending on the angle of the joint when the shaft is pulled it can drop down at a weird angle and be a bit tricky to get the shaft back in. It can feel all the way in but not be engaged properly.
  25. Snaggletooth
    Just askin', you are sure you got the drive shaft back into the U-joint? It's happened before. Mike
