    Little too far away from Ottawa, otherwise I might have given it some thought. Carl

    Boy you had me thinkin' there for a minute, thought you was going to buy an electric now, I really thought you were going off the deep end,,,, well maybe you have already,,,, but you just wanted us to be assured you weren't coming back to the right side anytime soon.

    Not sure how well that would hold together under stress, but nice to watch.

    You might not have the mics wired correctly. They need to be hooked to the positive as well as it's own negative I believe. It's only a 2 wire mic so your computer mics should work just fine. My thoughts anyways, from what I remember when I did mine Carl

    more chrome

    Marcarl replied to BIG TOM's topic in Watering Hole

    Taters,,,,, if it ain't chrome and needs to move.,,,,, then's it's bound to rust, and we all know that once something rusts it's hard to move,,,,,, now we all know that on a 2nd gen the brake peddle isn't really used that much,,, (you've got to go fast to need such things often),, but the shifter lever is another story,,, it needs to move and move often, 'specially when there is a lot of weight on the bike,,, so I vote that Tom did the right thing,,, and you can't chrome the one side iffin you don't chrome the other,,, that's just the way it is!!!!

    I am really surprised that no one,,,, at least until now,,,, no one came up with the correct way to fix this dilemma. Sure your scoot fails and you tear into it, lay it all over the road side, and then you discover, on your own that the kill switch is in the off position,,,,,,, well you make like you found something profound under the seat, get up, reach for the handle bars to try it again and in the process you flip the switch, nobody notices, and you look like a real good mechanic and best of all, the scoots starts and runs better than ever. Don't know how to get out the 'pond' on the sly though, you'll have to work that one yourself Don.

    I would think that you ride for pleasure,,,, that then goes to say it must be pleasurable for both, the rider and the passenger, so what's wrong with communicating your pleasure or your dis-pleasure,,,, seems even steven to me. Now if Marca starts asking me to go 'back-up'?? that might be a little too slow. She does tell me when she's not enjoying the ride, when it's break time, she's getting cold or hot, cornering is not going well, get your feet down at the stop signs, somebody is following too close, too much side wind,,,,,, YEP, she needs to enjoy it as well.

    And I was going to post something smart,,,, but now I can't think of it anymore.

    Going from the shifter pedal there is a link that goes to the shaft which goes into the engine. On this shaft there is a leg which is attached to the shaft from the pedal. It should be pointing down and slightly to the rear, maybe you've got that wrong.

    Thanks for doing that Phil, you've had that for as long as I've known you,,,,,,I hope you don't look like Hal now,,,,,,, I mean, how can I tell the one from the other,,,,,,,,
  16. Marcarl
    I am so impressed, I went ot look at my scoot as to where I would 'hide' some leather, just so you can practise up a little before you make everyone else's stuff,,,, but I don't see any place that needs some,,,,, you known the 85 are perfect!!!!!!
  17. Marcarl
    he just got the numbers backwards,,,, happens when it depends,,,,,, what?????
  18. Marcarl
    Well what happened,,,,,, inquiring minds need to know!!!! We even had ICE_CREAM!!!!!
  19. Marcarl
    If this is for your Vmax, I'm not sure if it's the same, but if it's for the 87 then it should be. You can download the 83-85 manual from the link. Use the 83-85 manual, the 86-93 manual doesn't seem to know anything about cruise control. The diagram that helped me is on Page 9, 1st section. Hope this helps.

    Did you replace the fuel filter?

    No I don't remember the name of the epoxy, but I do remember that I bought it in Shipshewana, Indiana, at the hardware store across the road from the quilting store, right beside the ice cream place. We then went to the town park and fixed it there.... no help in all that is there. We did make sure that it was good for ABS, maybe that will help. They had a number of different brands there, we bought the one that had a 15 minute set time. Other than that what you can do, is to file off some ABS shavings from a drain pipe or something similar, mix it with Acetone, then use this paste to make a strong bridge across the crack. Make sure that everything is as clean as a whistle and no left over glue, before applying and keep the patch thin, no more than a 1\8 inch per layer.

    I used a 2 parts epoxy in July when I noticed it was cracked right from side to side, cleaned it with steel wool and electronic cleaner, then applied the epoxy with Wizard765's help. Maybe you need to have Wizard help. Mine is still holding, although I am somewhat surprised, and pleased.
  24. Marcarl
    Well if you need any advice, you know where we find it,,,,, so help yourself,,,,,, uhh the worded out different after I wrote it, but it works,,,,, don't it?? Congrats, and hope you do well. Actually you should, I have no worries!
  25. Marcarl
    Thanks for trying this out for us, it's always a good thing for someone to do a test run on things, so the rest of us know what to do and what not to do,,,,, now does the pants do the same thing?
