Evan made in Canada, wow!

How is it supposed to work? Any instructions so I can through them away first?

Yahhhh, I don't visit as much as I used to, but I still love the site for what it gives us,, well at least some of us. Thanks for keeping it going Don.

Got the Spyder up 4sale, does that tell yah what you're asking?

Not likely to work. The bolts have shoulders on them that only allow the bolts to be threaded in sooo far. Pull one out to see it.

I think @saddlebum was finding it a bit cool to ride 'is 'orse, so he probably opened the door a bit to warm things up by letting some cold out. Maybe he could close it now, after his nap is done.

Do an oil change with the correct viscosity. Dont use reg type oil, use diesel type or full synthetic.

it might if it wasn't diluted.

Nah, 1 can. Warm and cool engine 4 times to get the cleaner to soak.

Changing the brake lines to stainless steel braided will make a huge difference.

Grab a small cable, the size of the battery cable or so, clamp it onto the load side (starter) of the relay and then touch the other side of the relay. If there is no response touch it to the battery. Don't matter if the key is off or on. Report back.

I might throw a blanket over it to give it a warm feeling, fill the gas tank so it don't die from starvation and then park it in a corner so it harder to run away. That's it.

Sounds like a poor connection. Check battery with volt meter, 12.3 is not a good full battery but should start it at least. Try to start it and if everything dies then don't touch anything but check the voltage at the battery, first the posts then the connectors and then the solenoid. Seeing as everything dies I would strongly suspect a poor connection in that area. Note: Do not turn anything off when it all dies, check things when 'under load'.

We used to ride when it was around 10 celius, even did it at 4 to 6. As we got older the temps seem to have an effect on things so slowly the range has been decreasing. Now it's 20-22 or better and please not at 30. This year I only went for IC once and my wife didn't even ride once... such is life.

Got his orders from the devil. There really is a battle going on that we can't really see except in the results. That battle has been going on since day 1 and will soon be over. The King is coming!

I bet they both have been watching videos and noticed the CanAm has come out with a Spyder and they are discussing if it will mean total demise for the likes of them.

Copy cat,,, I was first!!

Can you buy me a set and then drop them off on your next trip around this way?

Ride it to get it warmed up, leave it running and get a propane torch that has propane in it. Open the torch valve but do not light it. No go around the intake with the propane torch and see if there is any change in the engine. If not, an intake leak can be ruled out, if there is a change then you have a leak and needs to be addressed.

Can't remember if the 2nd gen has linked brakes, so the front left with the rear. If they do you can find lots of air in the line going through the triple tree. There will be a bleeder screw there.

Sounds like an intake leak.

Good story,,, take care of it well!

If it's anything like the 1st gen, then the coil position relates to the cylinder position. Front coil to front cylinder.

Now that's a Harley!!

I've been impressed with Deka, but the Deka label is often under the sellers label.
