  1. I fought A similar tiny il leak all last summer,changed all the gaskets on the left side of the motor installed new shift shaft seal,still had goofy little leak,then decided it had to be coming from higher up,replaced cam cover gasket on the front head,with the bolt seals,wow no more leak,it turns out that it was leaking from the cam cover gasket,running along the head,then down around the alternator cover,along the alternator wires and dripping off the kickstand switch.
  2. I don`t think I would tighten those screws much more,the torque on them is 100 inch pounds,new gasket would probably be better than taking a chance on pulling the threads on the case.
  3. 100%--I always wear it,the best argument I`ve ever seen is,stand in front of a concrete wall about 10 feet away,put your hands behind your back and run as fast as you can at the wall,do it with a helmet on and then without,end of argument--LOL.
  4. We have a lot of deer here in North Idaho--but it`s the Moose that really bother me--they`re pretty much black and impossible to see in the dark,if you hit one you`re history,considering they weigh about 1500-2000 lbs--don`t like any animal around my bike .
  5. That`s why I love Idaho,I can have any gun I want,if I get a tax stamp I can even get a machinegun,though I wouldn`t be able to afford to shoot it--LOL.
  6. People keep telling me how great retirement is (you Know the golden years)--the only gold I see is my urine-LOL,I had a boo-boo today too ,not as cool as yours though--got my finger caught in the wire-brush,you know in still hurts--LOL.
  7. My son bought 200 rounds at Wallyworld for 37,95 about 2 days ago--that`s like 18-19 cents a round ,of course I live in Idaho-LOL.
  8. What Puc said--speedo head my 92 does this when it drops below40 degrees.
  9. I already knew about the 4 brush deal,but it still wouldn`t turn with a crappy battery,also it still has the stock battery cables,I did clean up the contact point on the frame though.
  10. I had a problem with my 92 last year,ended up being the battery,new battery ,no more problem,my bike has 121,000 on it,and we`ve had a very hot summer here in North Idaho,90-98 degrees and have had no problems.
  11. I saw one on ebay last week,but,I think they were selling the whole system.
  12. LOL--been there done that--I found out you can`t refer to anyones sexual preference,and all I was refering to is these ANTIFA people--LOL.:nanner:
  13. Well lets reflect,I was riding home from a friends house going about 45mph on a curvy road,nice sunny day,when I came around a blind corner,and in the road were about 10 horses and their riders taking up 2 lanes,I hit the brakes HARD,both tires squealing,needless to say,it scared the poop out of me,I stopped about 10 feet from them,and the part that gets me is they didn`t even care,just walked their horses across the road,now in my opinion that was a pretty stupid thing to do,they had little kids with them and if I hadn`t been alert alot of people and horses would have gotten hurt or worse,so again be careful out there!!!!!
  14. So sorry to hear this,God Bless you and your Family !!
  15. LOve trying to help out when possible,it`s hard to respond when there is so much knowledge from so many people,but anyway(PAT-PAT-PAT)--LOL.
