I see a huge red flag if they will not start it for you...

For me, maybe in another 10 years or so, but I don't ride as much or as far as I used to...

The mufflers are at my place. As soon as Wayne tells me I will ship from here.

Sounds like it might be time for a poll for the location with several suggestions made with people willing to work it...

I just got this email and knowing how generous this sitte is I thought I'd pass it along! Sorry for any inconvenience, but I'm in a terrible situation. We came down here to Philippines for a program, last night on our way back to the hotel room We were robbed at gunpoint, our wallet and other valuables were stolen from us, leaving our passport and lives safe. Our luggage is still in custody of the hotel management pending when we make payment on outstanding bills we owe. I contacted my bank (E-mail) for a wire transfer but it has proven almost Impossible to operate my account from here as they made me understand international transactions take 7 working days to be effective which i can't wait. I need you to help me with a loan of ($1,250) to pay our hotel bills and get my sorry self home. I will reimburse you soon as i get back home. I will appreciate whatever you can assist me with. Let me know if you can be of help. Thanks Dale Neseman Just paypal me any contribution and I'll pass it along to this sorry individual...:rotf::rotfl:

No, I did mine all at once. I know this because I was an electrohydraulic technician...

OK let me try to explain as best as I can the differences between 2 piston vs 4 piston systems and how pressure and volume come into play. Let's start with the total piston area. Which has more total area, one 1/2 inch circle or two 1/4 inch circles?? HINT: two 1/4 circles fit inside one 1/2 inch circle. So hopefully you came to the conclusion that 4 piston calipers have less area than 2 piston calipers. Now theoretically either caliper has to travel the same distance to make contact with the rotor via the brake pads, and VOLUME is area times distance, so the 4 piston calipers have slightly less total volume (not 1/2 like in my example) than the 2 piston. Therefore, for the same force exerted on the brake lever to give the same force on the brakes a smaller area master cylinder is needed. As already stated, smaller area master cylinders give higher psi. Just changing the master gives you a longer stroke but higher psi when you squeeze the handle with the same force. So, just changing the master to a smaller diameter gives the stock brakes more of a grabby response but with a much longer lever movement. Just changing the calipers without changing the master gives a harder feeling lever with a shorter stroke but less pressure i.e. you have to squeeze harder to get the same braking power. Hope this sheds some light on the subject...

Enjoyed meeting you at the International Ed, and glad you had a GREAT trip!!

Member Dingy is our source for the more modern Ignitech ignition module...

I'm watching this thread with great interest as I was looking for a Mark's collector...

We will be having Hot Sex around the campfire as usual...

Ask 3K settle for 2.5K...

I remember from Mad Magazine a spoof on AA called Alcoholics Unanimous or AU! Have an urge to drink? Just call AU (hey you)...

Yes he did and they hold more gas than the Hannigan tank. Mine holds 5.4 gallons...

The Germans have nothing to do with it...

Not sure how to put this, but even the digital ones can get out of calibration...

If I lived out there I would, but I don't so I won't. Enjoy the adVenture!!

When the temperature rises, does the fan kick on?? You may have a bad fan or temperature sensor, or a disconnected wire from the sensor...

Yes there is a special glue for handlebar grips, probably available at your local dealer regardless of brand...

Dick, unfortunately the wires are part of the coil and have to be replaced as an assembly. The issue may be the "guts" inside the plug cap. there is a spring and a disc inside the cap... Welcome to the Hannigan club!!

The desiccant is suppose to be blue, and turn pink when wet...

He means BradT Phil. You are 2 days late for me, the guys were just down here Tuesday and I have extras...

I'm sure there is hidden damage too like the tabs on the windshield and the chrome cover, and probably some damage to the inner fairing. Never ever take the first offer...

I put some Kenwood 3 way speakers in mine and the clarity is better but there is no bottom end which is simple physics of a 4" speaker.

Sounds like the float levels are too high...
