Ps kidding about plugging that hole. Hopefully 3rd times the charm[emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

I got my oring, impeller shaft, and got everything sealed up on Tinker as far as the water pump. Rode her around naked and had antifreeze coming out of the weep hole. So guess I'm gonna have to order a water pump assembly to stop all this crazy leaking. No more then what's coming from that hole might just plug it. There just enuff coming out of that hole it claim a spot again. Annoying really. But I've got other issues I want to a dress before she is ready for the road again. Like checking the valve shimm while replacing the valve gaskets. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

I hear you Vaz I picked up a 2002 650 Vstar for $700 back in October. I have never been on a Vtwin before well non Harley anyways. I love the sound of the sporties. I rode a road king last summer and it felt like something was a miss. Mind you it was running right. But it just felt weird. I loved the nighthawk but them 250s are like riding a revved push mower. Just my opinion. So that 650 will be my second favorite bike for just hopping on and cruising. The sons 450 Nighthawk is a pretty cool bike too. Enuff pep to run 100+ but still easy to put around town on. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

How hard is it to adjust these valves? I've adjusted valves in other bikes but you simply used a wrench. I know these you need special tool to kind rotate into place so you can change the shimms. Looks fairly simple. I'm also torn I'm thinking about chopping tinker up.. But I lack creativity, I have in mind what I want to do tho. Just putting into her is another thing. My other issue is I love to have my bags and tour pack. But I think she looks better without the tour pack. After the wreck skinned her up a bit I've thought more about what I want to do. But the plastics are in pretty Damn good shape believe it or not. So far no duck tape holding stuff together. So I'm lost right now. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Well I got all the pieces for her but I've got leaks around the water pump both oil and antifreeze so reorder print and gaskets. I've got oil leaking from around where the gasket is. Then the antifreeze is shooting from the top of the water pump cover. I went to snug some bolts down the longer 3 and heard a snap.[emoji25] THE crack is at the motor.. I'm thinking rtv gasket maker to seal between the motor and water pump assembly. Oil wasn't leaking till I took it apart. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Ok two questions, @cowpuc are you saying you never adjusted your valves? Also what's the deal with pressure washers? Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

We don't do that here sir! I won't because it's not about cost. Its about the love of the heart of the bike! Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Remember this is there alpha build. That being said I don't think IMHO that it's normal to have switch backwards![emoji23][emoji23] but could be normal for this generation everything is backass backwards![emoji16] Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Some routers have the DHCP lease time that renew or expire can't remember which. But you can set it where it doesn't do that. One of my routers used to do that everyday till I figured it out. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

On a positive note, it sure was a beautiful day. I got police report today they didn't see which way the bike lay. They have it pointing south east and wrong side. It was pointing north west on its right side. But in damage they show right side. But there was a total of 3 witnesses and My EYE WITNESS. Believe the camera is sykik rider c6l action cam. They have fancier setups. I paid I think $30 for mine. It was at a pawn shop that post on eBay. Figured it was cheap enuff. The battery isn't the best in it but I have it plugged into a USB plug on the bike that comes on with the bike. So I don't have to remember to turn it on. This one has 3 settings, vga, 720 and one other setting. I was looking at some sykik accessories they have wireless tire monitoring too I might get that for tinker as it is a bit of pain checking rear tire. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Well I hobbled out there she don't look to bad seems by the turn signal and the crash guard took the brunt of the road rash. I didn't see anymore gas underneath I fired her up and this time she sounded good but I think throttle boss or cable is fubar. The water pump elbow has a nice gouge in it now so she has no antifreeze in her at the moment. I was only going about 35 when this all happened. It was scary as all hell but I will take road rash over hitting another vehicle any day.. Just been nice if I would have got something to help with the pain. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

I have her on camera straight up balling cause of it. When I realized she was going I hit them brakes. But at the time I thought she ran the stop sign. She more less did because she was supposed to move forward and stop. She just straight up did as you said. Either way the accident was her fault. I kinda want to see what insurance wants to do with the situation. She was a Flowers delivery van. My insurance has me worried he kept asking about a title. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

I'll have to ask if it's still insurable but the guy sure was interested if I had the title in my hand. Better offer up something good if he trying to buy it. I won't settle for jokes. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Not sure but does not appear to be coming from tubes, I'll wait till I'm feeling better maybe have to pull airbox and see from there. The side that took damage is also the side that I have my TCI Box at... I also gonna wait for the adjuster to come look at it before I try to pull crash guard out. And so any work to her. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Yeah kinda glad she wasn't creeping as you call it. I just got to figure out where the gas is pouring out of her. Also she isn't running right no more[emoji22] Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Puc I was watching them actually that is why my foot was on the brake pedal and when I noticed her floor it I hit them maybe a little hard but if I hadn't i would have ate plastics and aluminum. I was blown away by what she did. You really have to slow it down but as soon as I seen her pull her move I was on my brakes! Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Here is the clip of what happened. I use a Sykik rider dual camera on tinker. I will invest in 3 more of these one for the Tahoe and one for black betty. The other will be a spare. Not much to wiring them up either. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Me and my son was enjoying an afternoon ride. A lady ran a stop sign here in Joplin. I hit the brakes and down we went, I avoided hitting her broadside. Which I thank God for that. I will post more later. Me and him have some road rash, he has a little swelling around his knee. Good thing I have dual cams on the bike and will pull video. To see what happened exactly but I was more worried about William then anything. Going to be sore for a few days. Tinker was really enjoying her new rear shoe and the fresh air. But guess will see what insurance says. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk

Well I couldn't remember names, I remembered Woods. Thank you for posting that. I honestly would not take a plea deal. I still believe if they had a better way of handling stuff like this that this could have been avoided. In the past his brother or someone was beat bad by this group. I feel he did the right thing but that's just my opinion. Sent from my LG-M255 using Tapatalk
