January 74th, 2018 Forecast calls for new record low of 16 degrees tonight!

It's all fixed! Now I just got to put her back together. The inside of my switch is missing that white plastic Shield that goes between the turn signal over the springs and the Handlebar. I don't suppose I'd ever find that part would I without buying a whole switch ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Okay I'm going to pull my switches off for the turn signal headlamp try to clean them tomorrow. Got a video on that flyinfool? The springs on the turn signal switch are filled with Dielectric grease what do you clean those up with? Is this a highjack if it's still related to those same problems highlander is facing? ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Someday you're going to have to explain to me this fascination with coasting. I don't get it. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Gorgeous! C'mon Spring! ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Look what I found! https://youtu.be/y1ih7rI2nIs ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

I believe the cover is now sealed but I have no idea where more oil might be coming from. So I'm wondering if I'm just burning off excess underneath but that should be done by now. Oil smoke not exhaust leak. I took it off the jack and I'm going to let her sit on the center stand overnight to see if anything accumulates underneath it. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Am I going to ride down to you or you going to ride up to me or should we meet for some famous BBQ in Kansas City when the weather breaks at the bikes work? ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

It was 64 degrees yesterday with only a 5 to 10 mile per hour south Breeze. Then I watch that damn 50cc video between 3 and 5 this morning that somebody put up in the watering hole... Today it's 25 to 40 mile an hour winds from the north. Easter supposed to be a high of 30 with snow possible. That doesn't depressed me near as much as it does my little granddaughters who had all their pretty spring Easter outfits and now they're worried about having to wear coats or long pants! ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Neighbor fixed me up with a little Loctite hightemp and suggests a touch of gray permatex gasket sealer on the thread of the bottom bolt when I pit it back on. Did you see the stator wires? Wet but no leaks around them. Thought I better seek another opinion before I go ahead and just put this back together. I sure like to do this for the last time for a while... Oh well I'm getting experience ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Yeah I learned my lesson when I had to replace the stripped threads in the engine side with the Helicoil. Doh! I did order a new copper Crush Washer when I got the new gasket. It didn't seem to be very crushed however. I did use my quarter inch torque wrench to torque them to 96 inch pounds. Before removing the cover it was dry below the bolt but wet on the back side so I'm thinking those little bevelled dents just need a little help to seal the cover to the engine side at the bottom bolt. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

The third photo is the engine, the one marked is the matching hole on the cover. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Cancelling unit showed up in the mailbox today. Plugged it in no more blowing fuses. I need to follow advice and clean my headlamp and turn signal switches. It's still giving me a headlight warning signal and I have to flip back and forth from high to low manually. I thought that's what the RL you was supposed to take care of so you didn't have to flip it. We'll see if that fixes the rlu problem or if there really is an issue with the rlu. Okay so I'm putting some pictures of the cover and the drip. I marked it couple of things that I suspect of being the leak. Look at how it looks bevelled around the Bolt holes I marked. I don't know why that one is different than all the others. It's the bottom center hole. You will see my Helicoil inserted in there. Gaskets fine. Brand new, came off real slick. Can a guy use high temp gasket sealer at the bottom area around that Bolt? The gasket for the clutch cover arrived with a line of white that looks like some kind of way to add thickness to the gasket in that specific area. I figure it was cuz of a known problem. Can a guy get ahold of that stuff?://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180331/258b7d6375ffba844255952f11ef7e00.jpg[/img] ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Valve cover gaskets are new, professionally installed. I do have gas leaking under my # 2 carb black boot is wet and there seems to be a pool in the middle of the engine between the cylinders but the first trip when I get it running as to take it back to the mechanic to get that fixed. He's aware of that and wants it back. Of course by then he'll be 12 weeks deep in work... I don't know what a Twinkie is. But I am glad Twinkies are back on the shelves! I checked the air cleaner the last time I started it up after I changed the oil, because I did get it a little too full and haven't drained it out yet. I'll pull the cover off again tomorrow and let you know. After restringing my harness and putting my Dash back together I'm ready to walk away for the evening. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

I don't believe I've put many miles on it since we installed the stator cooler upgrade. (Professionally, not by me.) That would put more oil in there correct? But it didn't leak before I did the slave. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

I also have the radiator cap that was sent with to me with this radiator but it was dry and the rubber parts seem a little crispy so I use this one. I'll start her again after a while and see what happens. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

I did not remove the stator cover. In one of my posts I put pictures of the wires coming out of the stator inside the other cover and somebody mentioned to me that they look fine and not to worry about it. I'll send that photo if I can find it again right now I couldn't find it in my phone. I'll have to go through my other posts. It's a pretty good drip when it's running. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

I know we talked about the outer bearing on the pin that the clutch slave engages with but there is no evidence of leakage there before. I think it has to do with the cover. What do you think? ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Cooling fan did not come on. Nearly to the bottom of the red line on the temp gauge and it looks like I'm going to have to pull the cover off of my clutch slave that I replaced and see where this oil is coming from. It looks like that dreaded drip over the kickstand which is weird cuz that's new gaskets and all. It is oil not brake fluid. It was only brake fluid before I replaced the slave unit Also I have some leaking around my radiator cap. But it's coming out from under the cap not from the Overflow tube joint. Are radiator caps radiator caps? ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

Got dash and instrumentation! ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5abeb7786282e/20180330_164734.mp4

I've got to head home for a while and make sure my phone is charged. I got a strange phone call last night from a woman who I helped after her surgery last year. We kind of had a moment and there was definitely mutual attraction but at the time it wasn't good for either of us. Because she's 1 out of only two women that I've been attracted to that are age-appropriate in about 10 years I figure I better at least check it out. I didn't answer because it came in restricted so I didn't know who it was but she said she try me again today. It was almost 10 when she called, maybe I missed a booty call? But she should know I'm not that kind of man. That and my hands are killing me from unplugging and plugging all that stuff. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

It's got a nice little pigtail on it but I can let it tap against the edge of a counter or something. Maybe it'll jiggle loose with all that motion instead of laying on the counter getting whacked. Hey if we ever meet, feel free to give me a punch in the shoulder or something for being such a hard head if you like. ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.

You're confused? Hahaha you haven't seen confused yet! I'm seeing plugs and wires and diagrams and handlebars and batteries in my sleep. But, I haven't given up! I certainly hope this solves my problem so I can CTFW soon! I did replace my clutch springs, my radiator and my clutch slave by myself and haven't got to get it on the road yet to make sure everything's good. I'm learning. You guys are great teachers! Many sincere thanks and the most appreciation I can show you without spending any money! ...in the Eternal scheme of things, this isn't even the blink of an eye.
