Been storming here the last few weeks, record setting rainfall and temps. Cooling down tomorrow, low 60’s when I leave Wednesday and 90’s when I come back Sunday.
Sorry to hear of your health issues. This site was the first I ever joined and is still my only forum because of the values you’ve instilled into it. I wish I had the knowledge to assist in keeping it going but I’m pretty technologically inept.
I promise that was a joke @Skid, I would NEVER!!!! assault an officer of the law. Well except the fights with my brothers before they pinned on a badge.🤪🤪🤪
Almost got the bike ready for Vogel, anybody recommend a brand of oil when I change it?
First thing I’d check is to make sure it’s running on all 4. These things pull amazingly well on 3 cylinders. Fire it up cold and see if all 4 pipes heat up the same, I use an infrared thermometer to check em.
I had my third Nexen darkside mounted this week. Gonna install the OEM final drive today to get ready for Vogel. Waiting on parts to rebuild the VMax pumpkin. Riding one up and not taking the trailer so the higher gear shouldn’t bother me too bad.
Found a flat rear tire, puncture in the middle of the tread. Pulled the wheel to find the pumpkin dumping gear oil. 🤬🤬🤬. New tire mounted and waiting for new bearings and seals for the final drive. All right before Vogel.
I don’t know about DAB but I gutted the cassette case and installed USB ports and a volt meter from Amazon. I made a faceplate from ABS plastic sheet for the install and installed a Bluetooth receiver to stream music from my phone.
Google is how I ended up here, every time I googled a problem on my 1st Gen it’d take me to VR. I read thru part of the site and realized none of the social media BS and name calling was going on here so I joined. 2 bikes and several VR rallies later still having fun.
Guy I worked with bet me $5 we wouldn’t last 3 years. I made him pay me at 3 years. His $5 bill has been in the frame of one of our wedding pictures for 27 years in May.
