Flyinfool

I had a wife that thought I should sell my toys and spend the money on her..........

LED lighting controller?

3 hours is about what it would take to drive that thing from my house to @cowpuc house. The short way

I guess I'm off the hook, I'm allergic to beer, I would make 1/3 less than anyone else.

Yes the clutch lever will go all the way to the grip. Unlike brakes the pressure does not increase as the lever moves farther, it stays pretty constant over the full range of travel. The amount of movement in the clutch is very small and would be hard to see.

I guess now we need to find out which way it is tipping. Leaning to far and standing to tall are completely different issues.

I never went as deep as you are headed, I will take a look at my spare heads over the weekend to see if I can figure it out for you. Unless of course someone jumps in here first.

Well if you do find any spare marbles, I have been told that I have lost more than just a few of mine.

What air pressures are you running in the front and rear shocks. If the shocks are to low on pressure the bike will be very straight up when on the side stand. Also check you tire pressure to be sure it is up to where it is supposed to be.

A sticky slide can often be freed up with some carb cleaner sprayed on and working it back and fort manually. Once moving freely then get it running with some Seafoam to finish cleaning it out.

I love flywheel pulling stories, There are a few. I had my own. I think you missed a designed in feature on the flywheel. There is a hex boss that is there to put a big wrench on to hold the flywheel still while you tighten or loosen the center bolt and even while cranking on the puller for removal. You just put on the wrench and rotate the flywheel around till the wrench hits the foot rest, now everything is solid while you work on tightening and loosening things that want to turn. This takes it back to an easy one man job. That is also the hex that I used for turning over the engine when I did my Valve lash adjustments. An electric impact does not stand a chance, even my professional grad air impact did not stand a chance even when I cranked the air up to 150psi, I used the 24" breaker bar with another 2 foot piece of pipe on it to get enough force on the puller to POP the flywheel loose. The good news is that once you get it off the first time, it will never be as hard to get off again. The factory must torque that thing down to about a million LB/FT of torque. Someone also told me that the factory puts bearing retainer on the taper, but I saw no sign of that when I took mine apart. Your getting closer to ride time.

I have not noticed this one, but then I have pretty good spam filters set up. I get about 70-80 spams a day that I never have to see, they go right in the trash automatically.

I have never seen any vehicle that I thought looked good with WW tires. I guess they just are not my thing. But then I have always been a bit different............

We can start at the solenoid since you are already there. For clarity, the start relay is a separate component from the start solenoid. The solenoid is the one with the big wires direct from the battery. Just so we are all using the same nomenclature for clarity. If you connect +12V to the Red/White pin and ground to the Blue pin of the solenoid, it will crank if the solenoid is good. On the wire harness side, if you connect your volt meter from the red white wire to ground you should see 12V anytime the key is on. If you set the meter to Ohms and connect from the blue wire to ground, it should read no continuity, when you push the start button it should read very low resistance. These tests can also be done with a test light.

You do know that being bikeless is no reason to leave. But Welcome back. Now we need the rules refresher course about pictures............................

My EX wife once said I had to choose between her and my toys, So I went out and bought a new 4x4 Suburban with everything on it........... I chose wisely.

Welcome back Boss man. We are gonna hold you that wearing out of the white walls too. Now you can lead the trip to Friday night dinner without everyone carboning up behind you, Now it will only be the 1st gens carboning up behind you.................. Oppie, did I type that out loud..........

I am still trying to figure out where the tank of gas went prior to putting the front end back on the bike. That one still has me baffled.

First off I hope you are not hurt, the rest is easy. Many people have replaced the stock springs with new progressive springs and eliminated the Anti Dive system altogether. Skydoc_17 sells the block off plates to do this. I guess I am not sure what part you are calling the "plunger case". If you mean the lower fork tube, Ebay will be your friend, it is also possible that a member here has one on a parts bike. Pics of the damage may help us out.

:Im not listening to :Im not listening to :Im not listening to

A reverse gear would sure be handy.

Another milestone hit. Trouble is a comin now. Got the needed work done on the bike and burned off a full tank of gas today. Foot was a bit sore but not bad and felt fine again after a couple of hours rest. The hard part is pushing the bike backwards about 20 feet uphill and over a threshold to get it out of the shed that it lives in. That is a lot of stress on the foot.

Now I done it, I even got the bike fixed up and running, If that don't bring some SNOW I don't know what will.

That does tell you that the starter and battery are good and you problem lies elsewhere on the bike somewhere between the battery and the starter.

Well to answer a few questions. No I never did the carb rebuild from last time. I did do @skydoc_17s cleaning on the bike method and the problem went away until this last month. Technically the term WIFE was used as a figure of speech, I still don't technically have one of those. Aliens is a possibility, I do have a few friends from my home planet of Zore that do come to visit me occasionally and they do like to play pranks. They like our gas since their spaceship gets around 4 light years to the gallon. I did go out and do some more checking and investigating today. I finished changing my front wheel bearings and while putting it all back together the front wheel slipped out of my hands and went rolling away. It took me 2.5 hours to catch up with that fools tire, and by the time I did, I noticed that the tank seemed to be empty again.................AND when I got home, I got the, "WHAT? 2.5 hours to go get gas from 2 blocks away?":duck:I had to explain that not all gas stations have motorcycle gas in stock yet, the nearest gas station that had motorcycle gas in stock was 3 counties away.................. But I think this may be a new issue, and now my face hurts cuz I can't get the to go away and my leg hurts cuz I am a :dancefool:...........
