    Ground cable

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Does anyone or has anyone else had a problem with the ground cable bolt at the battery come loose. It has happened to me twice this year. The last time was today at home. I put some blue treadlocker on it this time. But was just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

    Premium Vs. Regular gas - Interesting Investigative report

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    When the E85 fuel came out what was left in the hose was a big issue. That is why E85 must be in a pump with a dedicated hose. At the time they sere saying that between the switching valve, the pump, the meter the filters and the hoses to connect it all up was almost 3 gallons. So if you went in with a gas can for your mowers, snow blowers or what ever you could get all E85 and destroy your engine that was not designed for it. Same for some of the real small econobox cars with 8-10 gallon tanks, you could end up with a half tank of E85 and destroy the engine.

     

    When I get my premium ethanol free gas I only buy from pumps that have a dedicated hose, otherwise you are just buying some of the good stuff for the next guy in line and you are getting whatever the last guy got.

    This also true

    Lights

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Ok so when I bought my Venture Royale almost 3 years ago. It had a light fixture on the trunk lid. It worked as another taillight. But today as I was checking out the bike for an Iron Butt charity ride in 2 weeks. I found out that the light is also an extra extra brake light. Once I fixed the broken ground wire. Now that's a pleasant surprise. [emoji2]

    Progressive Springs

    I just put in the progressive springs last weekend and left my 30 year old seals alone. I would still change the fork oil even though it is fairly fresh.

    I'll be sure to do that. I like the 20wt fork Oil. With the new Springs & oilshouldn't have to worry about air then.

    Quick check of the battery showed 12.4 volts with nothing on. So I'll pick up the 4 brush starter & so on
