  1. Could have been a loose connector on the wire?
  2. Seems to be missing the rubber plugs, 2 required for each carb. Also check where these are made, it says shipped from Poland but doesn't say where they were made.
  3. There be a hole there,,, keep cleaning!! It's not near clean enough yet.
  4. Hey!! I was going to say that!
  5. It seems kind of odd the way that steering shaft is set up, but this is how I did it. Loosen nut #7. Now with a long punch, screwdriver or something similar tap lower nut #4 to set the torque. Check your progress, it don't need to turn much, a 1/16 " is a good start. When you think its good, tap the upper #4 nut so that it sets back on the lower one. There is a rubber o-ring in between the 2 nuts, and I haven't figured out the real meaning of having it there, but it's there so some engineer has made his daily wage. Now torque nut #7 back to speck and test again. You might have to go through this circus a few times to get things perfect. Always torque #7 before final decision for the pressure from #7 will move the #4 nuts just enough to cause a noticeable difference. When you are happy, carefully move the handle bars from side to side, just with your finger tips and see if you can feel any jumping, vibration, or such. Slowly and lightly!! If it feels anything else than perfectly smooth, it's time for a change.
  6. You question that? Isn't it true BS, Isn't wobbly stable enough? and who would even start to question whether or not we are reliable,,, even the Roooster says we haven't changed.
  7. Deep down in you know that's what made you come back. Everybody needs stability, truth and reliability.
  8. I can second that motion!!! Take it apart, get new bearings. If I remember it takes a few hours but it's not that hard, faring can stay on.
  9. Another Tri-Pod??
  10. That'll cost yah!!
  11. There's 2 areas where this could be coming from. One is the engine, the other less likely is the differential. Check the differential for oil level, and if it's down go from there.
  12. I would suggest that you take that bike out right pronto. There is nothing worse than leaving unused gas in a tank, that would be a terrible waste of money and not near as good for the soul as getting it cleaned out good. When you do get it empty though, you had best fill it up, just so you know that in-case of a fuel shortage you will at least have one good ride to go yet. Don't think the carb cleaner had any effects on the seals or rubbers. It might clean things better as it sits, might also loosen up some dirt in the bottom of your tank.

    If you install them on the lady there, she might not be bobbin around so much. Just sayin.
  14. Thinkin you have still some air in the line. Turn your handle bars to the right so that the reservoir is at the very top. Remove the reservoir cover and gently tap the banjo bolt as you wiggle ( only a little bit in and out) the handle. You will most likely find some air bubbles coming out. Keep taping and wiggling until there are no more bubbles. Cover all parts below with a tick towel.
  15. Brake fluid will mix with water, fork oil won't do that that so easy. Use no soap.
  16. Oh darn,, now I have to get more beer,,,, no no no!!! not to celebrate, we did that a couple of years ago, it's because I'm now expecting more company................... B E N!!!!!! come here and talk this guys ear of will yah please!!!

    Who said anything about bribing? That is totally your idea!!!
  18. @saddlebum and @xv1100se
  19. Just so you are aware, the oil tat drained for you as you pulled that bolt is none other than engine oil, the very same stuff that you pour into the engine on the other side. When you do an oil change there will be some oil left in the pan for the pan has 2 wells. The 2nd well can be drained by removing that bolt and waiting, waiting, waiting. Don't loose the sealing washer (copper) from that bolt or it will drip.
  20. I hear oven cleaner does it nicely without damage.
  21. Now don't you go putting a label on that bottle, it will for sure be misleading.
