    Are you sure it's leaking from between the joints and that there is not a hole in the collector? Also, there is a pin hole in the muffler, just behind the collector and it points down. These will show signs of 'leakage' but it is designed that way and is normal. Also, if you drill out the muffler it will give you a bit of a deeper sound, less back-pressure and so maybe solve the leakage problem.

    Seeing as the rotors are open to the elements and subject to getting wet or dirty, the pads will always rub slightly on the rotor, to keep them warm and dry and to keep them clean. If your rotor gets wet, then you'll find a large reduction in braking effect. JMTCW

    There will always be a certain amount of drag with the calipers. You might have too much drag but that is best found out by going for 20 minute ride and then check out temp of the calipers.

    Well James, looks like you be on the road to a better day, or days. It's always nice to see and experience progression. Hope things work out well for you.

    Just make sure you don't get one like I've got,,, it's very safe but won't charge anything unless it senses at least 7 volts, what a PITA.

    Glad you made it out so well, sorry for your scoot. Just an idea for next time though: when riding in those conditions, stand up on your boards or pegs, it lowers the center of gravity and so makes the bike more easy to handle. It is good to practice doing this in a parking lot, because you'll be apprehensive at first, but once you're used to it a bit, you'll be surprised at how easy it really is and how well the scoot responds to your inputs. We learned this at MC training, and I've used it a number of times.

    If it's the 83 you are working on, careful with those 6 bolts, they break easy, only 5 point 8 foot pounds torque.

    With crappy weather that is the best time for SeaFoam. 1 tank of gas or less, full can of seafoam, run it for about 20 minutes, then shut off. After that, start it up when ever you think of it, at least 2 x per day to get fresh seafoam into the idle circuit. If this take a week, so much the better, it gives the product time to work it's magic.

    Nice to see that this thread didn't make it all the way south. Glad to see you guys can get yourselves out of trouble. Interesting discussion, a little bit of undoing and then an effort on healing,,, real family! I'll reserve my comments for now.

    Ya forget about the lube part, I took another look at one and if you have to lube it, you'd best find another one.

    Along with all that stuff, my wife says I have to carry a half roll of TP, just in case I should end up at FreeBird's MD, and you should know you can't go there without some of that stuff.

    Hey Ray, he's not worried about the speedo just yet, it's the tach he has an issue with. Probably will do well with a little lubrication, but I have not heard of anybody doing it so far. If you do go to lube it, do the speedo at the same time. Golf& Venture makes a good tool for the speedo, check it out: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=69034

    That bowl empties out over night, there's another one that needs to have the handle pushed, and the cat says to leave hers alone. Last time I ran the scoot was Wed last week. Went to start it yesterday (Monday) and it took 2 full shots of pumping time to fill the bowls, that's my story and I'm sticking to it,,, maybe.

    Depends somewhat on the weather, but mine in S.Ontario will be dry in a week.

    Made them ourselves, and had the stainless brackets\holders made at the local stainless shop here. Why? you want some?

    My handlebars are down low, but I've also added a little width to the windshield this winter. Will have to see how it all pans out for my lady, but for me so far,, it's plain good!
