  1. Maybe lil bro is older than you think and he's shaking some.
  2. The battery lead needs to be connected to a power source in order for the red light to go out, but caution!! it needs to have a resistor in the system. Originally the wire had a resistor so all that needs to be done is to fasten it to a power source, but sometimes the resistor is missing and then you can blow your computer, so check it out. The probe senses only 2 volts coming from a good battery. Radio can be removed without any problems. Tire wear, yep, your good in my books.
  3. If I remember correctly, the signal lights are for signal only, I don't remember having them act as markers. So that might be a source. Check how many live wires go to the fixture, there should be 1 live and one ground, the ground being black.
  4. That would be one pretty looking plug in my opinion!
  5. You're right Rick, I was check I did was for a 2nd Gen.
  6. I just checked the other site, says it is a 30 amp fuse, and a spare is located in a similar box almost next to it.
  7. If you want a place to store it, I could find some room maybe. And who was the salesman that wanted a ride so bad?
  8. Sounds to me like you might have blown the cover off of the holder, there is a cover that came with it originally. Not sure of the amperage of that fuse but it will be more tan 15amp. They put a spare in the holder at the factory. If my memory serves me correct, then it's a lead fuse with open inserts at either end offset 90 degree to each other.
  9. I think I get your point, but fact is, it's real good idea to learn how to ride single track before one can really enjoy double-tracking it. Now to double-track properly one needs to have just one more to do it properly. You see, in both cases, 1 and 1 make 2. Am I confused yet?
  10. Then there come a time in life, when taking up just one track doesn't seem enough and you realize that the whole lane is there for the taking.
  11. Trying to remember correctly, when I was at thee point you are at now, I took my small propane torch, not my mini, but a pencil flame, and brought a bit of heat to the tower under the puller, and then it just went pop? I think I had all I could get on that with a 3' bar and the end of my puller is forever changed. Took 3 days of fooling with it, but I never backed it off.
  12. Yeh, I can sympathize with ya, that would be a bummer for sure,,, but then maybe there be a reason, and something else would be on the horizon for you.
  13. You best tell us as to why YOU would miss MD. It had better be good!!
  14. OHHHHH my goodness, now my mind has seen everything, and somehow I need to sleep tonight,,,,,, not nice Robert!!!
  15. This would indicate an air leak. Check the carbs, make sure they are seated properly, and then go around and check again. You'll need to loosen the clamps and it helps to spray a bit of lube on the joints. They not the easiest to seat right and if somebody had them off and apart, it is possible that the carbs were not perfectly flat as they were joined together. If so, then seating them would be almost an impossibility, you get one or two to seat, and then another pops out.
  16. I would start with your battery connections, take them apart and clean them. When you have them off, it's a good time to check the output of the battery, not just the voltage, but the output as well. Then check the fuses to make sure they are all clean and seated well. Also include the engine ground, I believe is on the lower right side coming from the battery. If you don't do this first you could be chasing this gremlin for a long time. Things may look good but you don't really know until you take them apart. Lets us know what happens
  17. Shouldn't be any problem I would think. If you can read instructions and turn a wrench the right way, you're more than half way complete. If you do run into something that gots you worried, just post it here and somebody will help you get into more trouble, kind of more or less, and usually within a day or a couple of hours.
  18. I would say that the monkey who's job it is to move that needle is in need of some warm-up juice. Maybe he's a bit ticked that you get your shot now and then but you leave him out.
  19. Ya but,,, isn't there a saying that goes: What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine?
  20. Ahhhh FINALLY we found him, or he found us, glad you is ok bro, it was just kind of strange having you offsite without any notice. Wouldn't have worried none had you not been going through the health issues things. Wasn't too worried about you really, more concerned about Tip in the grand scream of things. Good to have you around, mobile and typeable. I think it's time to move you to a smaller country so you wouldn't be so hard to find.
  21. Something else you can try, is to take out the faulty fuse and hook a trouble light between the 2 posts of the fuse. Leave the fuse out. Now when you go to use the circuit the light should come on, so you can now fool with the wires while keeping an eye on the light. You'll know you hit the right spot when the light flashes or stays on.
  22. You wouldn't be the first one to do that, and then find the problem elsewhere. You need to look below the dash, into the triple tree area where the steering head forks move. Bet there is a wire there somewhere that is pinched, but maybe only when the forks are turned, most likely on the right side,, but that is just a guess. You'll need a flashlight and you'll need to get down on your knees. Look from above and below.
  23. Opps sorry Don, didn't realized that sensitivity thing was back with ya. The rest of us get colds on a regular basis, some even gets bikes now and then, but you have to be blessed with sensitivity,,, must be a burden!
  24. I SURE do like the looks of them, and you ain't so bad either,,,,, I asked my wife for her opinion.
