    that sounds like mine, it only leaks when the engine cools from room temps to about freezing after its been sitting for a day or so. But it never does it heating up or cooling down when its been running recently Brian:bang head:

    I liked your other answer better.... Brian

    I was surprised in Hialeah in January when I had a tough time in the mall and in the Ramada Hotel we stayed in that the staff didnt seem to speak any English at all. It was a very nice looking mall and the people were dressed very nicely, but there was almost no english spoken anywhere. One of the ladies in our group needed a hair styling and there wasnt a single woman in the hair salon that could speak english. I knew that spanish was widely spoken in Florida, but I was surprised by the extent of it. Brian

    Are you sure that you dont have a stepped feeler guage? Some have a different size at the last 3/4 of an inch than the rest of the gauge strip.

    I liked our old model for paying for music up here. As I understand it, When you used to buy blank media like cd's there was an extra charge tacked on that is supposed to go to the artist, and then there wasnt a huge concern over copying as the money was there whether it was original or a copy. But now that our recording industry has become so intertwined with the US we've been forced to move to the US style of "ban the copying" Brian

    I think I remember welcoming you to the ventureriders when you started and mentioned the Nelson ride then, but sometimes I dont remember having lunch...... Rick and I have both been working on the Kruisn the Koots for the last couple of years but it was decided that we would skip this year as it looked like with the Intl Rally in Cody Wy being fairly close and with All the other rallies like Sturgis North that there just was going to be too much going on, we would just put it off this year and re assess. But, you very welcome to join up with us in Cody WY and take all the rides around that area in late July, We would love to see you come out, I would think there might be memebers coming from the area, that you could ride with.

    Didnt need to buy a copy as I donated mine too Brian

    I hafta say I am disappointed, as those copies were donated to give everyone a chance to see what is a good video on riding techniques. I hope everyone could have a good look around their homes and if you have a missing copy, please forward it on, or send to Kite squid so he can discreetly send it on to the next person. Thanks for having a look, Brian

    When I start my Escape with the remote it only runs for 8 minutes and shuts off. It can also be set to restart if it detects the engine temperature dropping below a certain point and run it for those 8 minutes and shut off again. When I asked the technician about some details he said to me that the shut off mechanism was in the electronics on the SUV not in the remote starter, If that is the case I gotta wonder why it isnt turned on at the factory.

    When I had my trunk and bags painted I just took a piece of plastic that has a good finish still left on it to an automotive paint supplier and asked them to match it. They did a good job. THe paint codes are listed here somewhere, but most of the better paint suppliers can probably get a better match with the new equipment they have to do the colour match. Just the trunk and side bags on my bike were painted and you cant tell what is new and what is OEM (except that the new is shinier when the bike isnt exactly clean...) Brian

    Sounds like a bent rim, take the tire and rim off and the spin the spindle and see if the plate that the wheel bolts on to is straight Brian

    same thing here, no hills for days in any direction.... Brian
  14. friesman
    Thats one of the reasons that I am always wary of buying a tire that is what is considered an off brand. I would rather spend a couple bucks more than have to worry about how good its going to perform on a long trip, or when I need it to perform in a corner....... Brian

    THat looks great! I bought a rack off an 86 for my 85 and it looks good, but i like the bigger size of yours. I might consider putting some flat metal straps under the bolt heads on the inside of the lid to distribute the stess a bit better to prevent any cracking. MLEW, the rack will look larger on your 83 as you have a smaller trunk, the 85 has the larger trunk but we have the same side bags as you. Brian
  16. friesman
    Yep it will save you in the long run.
  17. friesman
    woohooo! I would love to try that!!! Brian

    Noise

    friesman replied to Art708's topic in Watering Hole

    It sounds too simple but it has helped me deal with mine, One thing ive stumbled on to with noise relief is the type of helmet I wear really makes a big difference to how much whine gets filtered out. My full face HJC filters out a bunch of the whine and its manageable, but i get a fair bit of wind noise. when i wear my open 3/4 helmet the whine is really loud and i find myself looking to travel just above 3000 rpm or below2800 rpm to keep the whine manageable.
