    As I understand it, we don't really want to go there, because of the scare we would get seeing the lack of pressure at idle,,,,,, but then that's only hearsay from some locals who may or may not know what they are talking about.

    Something about the screw instructions is screwy, which screws is it referring to?
  3. Marcarl
    Good to hear that life goes on,,,, not the same, for sure. God bless you all in your new venture.

    I would check for air in the clutch line first, you may have forced some air into it. Bleed it out, it's good to once in a while anyways, and see what happens.

    Repacking bearing is important, but just smearing grease on them doesn't do much good. Your bearings have been in for quite some time and may have a wear spot on them,,, and that will not be fixed with grease. It will take a little more time and a bit more effort, but if you are going that route, you should do the whole thing. Pull out the forks and rebuild with progressive springs, seals, sliders and such. Replace the bearings in the steering head, get aftermarket from a bearing dealer, a whole lot cheaper. It won't take forever to do it all at once, and you'll be glad you won't have to do that ever again. And remember, there's lots of room here and all the tools.

    Pretty hard to see your van just standing still,,, maybe you should put some driving lights on it, or maybe get some modulating headlights. A bit more safety chrome might also be a good idea.

    Good move,,, we got to remember that: we work to live, not live to work,,,,, and: when momma ain't happy,,,, nobody's happy!!!!

    Air pressure is quite relative,,,, not your relative, but maybe relative enough,,,,, so it all depends, in this case, on the air pressure on the bike,,,, and if that were me at times,,,progressive is an understatement!!!!!!

    It's possible that you have a leak in the slave cylinder, but in reverse. I would suggest taking the slave out and giving it a good cleaning. My theory is that as it draws back, it sucks in some air. It doesn't take much air to screw up the clutch.

    CHEAP

    Marcarl posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Now I don't like anything cheap. Cheap generally doesn't perform the way it should, and mostly ends up costing more as a result. The sweetness of low price is soon forgotten in the bitterness of poor quality. So that being said, I think we are getting an awesome deal at $12.00 US for the help that this forum provides. Such a deal in fact, that if I were to buy a magazine subscription to try to capture anywhere near close what I get here,,,,,, at $12.00 I would not even think twice about the supposed results, but instead, look for something that would actually do the trick for me,,,,,,, and then,,,,,,, I would have to wait months or maybe even years for them to come across with the info I would need. OK ENOUGH,,,,,,, This site is worth a lot more than $12.00 US,,,,,,, I'm going to send at least $12.00 CDN. So if you feel the sameway I do, about value for trade,,,, do your thing and bump up the $12.00.

    I'd say, for peace of mind, take them apart and do the right thing. Also, don't save the oil, there is a possiblity of it getting contaminated with dirt or dust, and that would not be a helpful thing in the forks.

    I think then that somebody should be there to keep an eye out for Charlie,,,,, or maybe Brad,,,,,,,darn, now I'm not sure who I would trust the leastest.

    It sure is nice to read all these reply's,,,we get to know about each other in some ways,,, kind of neat. Now I'll throw something at you and you'll have to turn it around and think backwards: so you go solo on your ride,,, not necessarily too far,,,,, maybe just for an hour or so,,,,, you come back home and your wife has slipped and fallen down the stairs,,,,, she may not be hurt,,,, or,,,,, you fill in the blanks,,,, is it any different on a bike.?. Point is, accidents do happen, anywhere and at anytime,,,, and our time comes when it comes, that is not in our hands, but in the hands of our Creator. So don't be reckless, be somewhat careful,,, too careful and you'll over do it, and then leave the rest in the hands of Man that stills the waters.

    Sometimes when wires run parallel to each other there will or can be 'cross talk'. Your antenna may have been running close to another wire and so caused this problem. Sometimes twisting the wires en-route will help the problem if they cannot be routed differently.

    If you have a 'mudflap' on your front fender,,,, check it.
  16. Marcarl
    NOPE,, not going there,,,,nosiree.
  17. Marcarl
    Does this say something,?,? Does cold have something to do with Brad??????
  18. Marcarl
    Should 'ave bought some 'now tyres while you were 'hopping,,,,,where was your 'ead?????
  19. Marcarl
    So why do you need all that air,,,,inquiring minds need to know,,,,actually, I'm just being nosey.

    I generally make sure that the joint is facing down, transmissin in neutral, and then I insert the shaft to the u-joint. When they mate I turn the shaft and push at the same time. Mostly works just fine the first time.

    As odd as it might seem, try a temp run of #14 wire to the back with a relay installed. Somehow I tend to think it's the LED's, although they don't need much amperage they do need full voltage to operate well.
  22. Marcarl
    If you are worried about how it will fair out, I could be persuaded to make a trial run for ya,,,,Marca would want to go as well, just to be sure that the weight ditribution and such were right.

    There is a spacer on the brake side that you may want to keep at home. It's not needed and will only get lost. You will need it for reassembly though. Clean the hub on both side, grease with a good moly grease, and then put it back together. Carl

    just when you think you know all bout how to ride,,, you get on a tiny scoot such as that, and it straightens you out,,,real quick kind of like.. Hope you heal well and soon. God bless Carl

    A woman 'brewing' a child has to be to most beautiful, I'm agreed,,,, my wife,, oh never mind this is about you two. Congrats and may God bless you both as you anticipate a family. Ice cream is important, and just in case you don't like it much, I'll help out and have some for you,,, starting tonight. Carl
