Marcarl

There is a spring clip on the fork that prevents the fork from sliding up any further into the tree. The torque on the clamps of the triple tree is not enough to hold the forks in place, so the spring clip is used. If you remove the clips then the forks will slide higher and if you want to keep them from sliding you'll have to increase the torque on the clamps. Don't have any idea how much.

Wow!! It's still nice to have friends,, even old ones. Happy Birthday Charles, and hope you will enjoy many more yet in peace and happiness.

I didn't do anything to mine either,,,, come to realize I don't have that bike and so don't need to worry about such things. It's nice to have a Spyder.!.! And it was time to add to my post count???

And some more

Seems that folks are having issues posting pic from their phones, so poor little olde me has to do it. Well here you go:

Kevin is probably more right than me, although with my failing memory I do seem to see in my mind's eye that there was one just behind the seat. Like I said, Kevin is smart!

Maybe you dragged some dirt from the tank, or maybe the hose from the pump to the carbs is breaking down, both are experienced issues.

If you have electrical issues, best to start with the basics, battery fully charged, clamps clean and well united with the cables the the grounds, one on the right side of the engine, one under the left faring up near the top, and one under the seat/trunk area. Once those are all clean and well attached it's much easier to trace the gremlins.

Now you need to know what 'Marcarl' means, and then you'll have it all together.

Thanks you all. It's really been a great life so far. Yes,,, there have been some issue or hiccups along the way, but in the process I noticed it's not me that rules my life or this world, it's Somebody much greater than me, thanks be to that, for I would have made a major mess of things I'm sure. The beard did get shorter, Marca said it was too heavy for me to carry around all day and thought that I might get more done if things were somewhat lighter. She also thought that my words were getting jungled as I was practicing my speechifying, so I got it trimmed, as well as getting my ears lowered. Sure is good to have friends and people who care about you. Thanks you all.

No back seat for a 'passenger', she would have control of the steering apparatus,,, not for me, but thanks anywho.

Let's make it easy and fun at the same time. Get yourself a couple of rasps, mount them to the frame of the bike so that they rake the side wall, and then go for a ride. Do the front ones first so you can watch the rubber fly off. Don't know how deep the white goes, but if there is not enough casing left then you have a good excuse to mount new tires, and this time they can be your own choice and make you a happy camper. Just a little change from Puc's idea which I thought was good.

CRAP!!!!!!!!!! Still waiting for pictures. If somebody doesn't hurry up I'll have to get @saddlebum to write a speech.

Must be having a good time,,,, no time for pictures or dialogue???,,, we ARE waiting!!!

If that's the best you can do, I suppose @dogman can translate.

We will be missing all you guys,, well most all. Was so looking forward to good food, good fun and great fellowship. I was even all prepared to deal with Tom and Robin, I had speeches at the ready, and early morning bells. Now what am I going to do with all that,, can't just throw it all away,,,,, Oh!!! I could drop it off at @saddlebum, bet he can use it all.

So is this for your bike or somebody else's, seeing as your profile shows 2008?

What GPS system are you referring to?

Photos will probably be good for @dogman, but I just learned how to read words, so we will need the printed story as well,, unless that is toooo difficult for yah.

First things first,,, drain the oil so that it's only half way up the sight glass, then see if it will quit smoking after it warms.

Hopefully that will work well for you. Let us know, we be interested for sure.

It's a 6.7 Cummins diesel. Not much choice in a 5.7, some 6.4 but mostly diesel, all about the same price. We'll see how it works out for us. We have an 08 1500 5.7 that is now forsale and I had no complaints on that one. 300,000 km and still going strong.

Yep, glad it was only the windshield as well. Hate body work on my vehicles, it always seems to attract rust. As far as the car-wash was concerned????? They were totally apologetic, I mean all over it and under it and through it. Found a glass place that could do it ASAP (Monday), drove me home, and offered to clean the inside of the truck and fully wax the outside, and get me a good deal on my membership. So far so good, I will see what else they might come up with. They also paid for a new windshield and didn't think that was quite enough yet. They were very good and professional. Maybe I will stop by on Monday to get it washed again.............NOT!!! not until I get back home again, and then I think I'm going to keep the brake on just in-case eh?? I'll be apprehensive for sure for a couple of times.
