    Just can't get no respect here

    You are changing the amount of flow through the carbs and this will effect how the carbs work together. The sync will make sure that all of the carbs are opening at the same time. Anytime I ever screw around with air intake or exhaust I always check the sync, it has always been different each time I have played with them.

    Lewis, The Ronald McDonald house sounds great, I'm looking forward to it. I want to put something in perspective though, Bobbie and I haven't got our Tattoos yet as there hasn't been enough time for us to make that happen with them on vacation and just making the minimum so late in the drive. We are working on having the ceremony of getting on Nov 8th in NC. This isn't in stone yet, but is what we are working on. I dont want to give any conflicting info to folks and just wanted to be sure that folks know what is in the works. Definitely no foul, but we dont have the ink yet...more on that to come Thank you again my friend for all your tireless efforts with all of this, it is GREATLY appreciated

    Nice pics there Spanky, it's always fun to get together with others and put some wind in your faces. I see even Bob and Becky made an appearance

    Well....alright then, just like Lonna with the coffee in the morning

    Agreed, a definite carb sync and you should be good to go. If you have a colortune available then I would see how the fuel is burning, but I have not had to put a jet kit in any of my RSV's just by changing the exhaust and filters
  9. Squidley
    You betcha
  10. Squidley
    Then why the heck are you still online...get on that bike and go mister!
  11. Squidley
    I wish we could come, but Lonnas hand is still not up to snuff. I hope many take advantage of this and get out for a ride

    Bill, I'm quite proud of you buddy, that snarly aspect of your persoanlity is subsided very well. Your post are now very informative and eloquent in a Snarly Bill way. Your doing a fine job as the head organizer of our '09 rally....good job Bud
  13. Squidley
    Sounds like a fun day...perhaps you should host a Meet and eat and show us them roads Bet you there would be more than 2 RSV's there

    Dave, That was the set that I was telling you of on Ebay. I have bought a few sets from this guy and it's worked out very well. Might want to think about that set and do it over the winter

    Lots of good info from all here, but I'm on the same lines as Carl. I had an Avon on the rear of my '99 and there was reasonable tread left but it was starting to cup. Bike didn't handle for crap, replaced the tires...all gone. The pressures in the forks are another look see. I usually keep my rear at about 40 psi as I like a bit stiffer ride for performance. The fronts at about 4 or 5, it's all about how you want it to feel. I also agree with checking the steer head bearings. Loosen the top triple tree nut, which a 1 1/16" wrench will work I do believe, and tap the retaining nut under the chrome cover with a long punch clockwise and tighten the nut after it's snug, dont reef on it.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian brothers and sisters. I wish you all clear weather to ride in and all the food your bellies can hold
  18. Squidley
    Sounds good Bud, I'm confident that it will turn out to be something stupid

    Thanks Fellas... I will get with Dave and take the switches apart, it just seems strange that it was all of a sudden that it didn't work. I did play with the Hi beam switch and rock it back and forth, but perhaps it is something in there or the starter switch. I didn't want to take them apart today as he was coming to pick it up today. Craig, Brother you give me way too much credit, I'm only knowledgeable on the things I have broke and had to fix. I'm not real strong with electrical, and there will always be someone here on this site that will be able to teach me something....and it might be you I'll let y'all know what it actually turns out to be when we get it figured out

    Hey Folks, I am in need of an item for a 1st gen ASAP! I am working on Dave Pankows Bike and I dropped the front headlight assy and broke the front glass out of it So if anyone has a spare or know's of a unit for sale PLEASE let me know as I have to get this replaced for Dave. Thank you for your support
  22. Squidley
    It's been a while since I've been stumped, but I am right now. I am working on Dave Pankows '86 and for some reason I dont have the headlight working now and it worked when he pulled into the driveway. I have replaced the fuse block with one of the upgrades to push type spades. I have done half a dozen of better of these with no issues. Everything appears to be working normally on the fuse block as I have tested to make sure of power from one side through the fuse to the other lead side. The bike starts and runs all the lights work, signals, emergency flashers, running lights, but no headlight. It's a new bulb as I checked it and the filaments are good, I just have no power to the switch. Now mind you that I am not good with chasing wires from a diagram. I have a repair manual but it might as well be in swahelie as far as understanding wire diagrams. I'm not sure if I have to have all the electronics hooked back up for the headlight to work. I dont think so, but I've been wrong before If some of you electrical types could help this dumb welder out I would appreciate it BTW: I am looking for the headlight assy for this '86 also as Mr. Butterfingers dropped it and broke the front glass out
