    My suggestion would be E3's...

    Gave you a like, but I had to log into my facebook too. Oh bother...

    OY!! There be an Aussie Possie in the house!!!!!

    Didn't anyone warn you not to come within 50 miles of Chicago??? It should take you about 8 hours, give or take, to come all the way across Ohio and to our place. We should be back from Rickster's around 4ish. Cell phone will be turned on...

    Yah! The usual problem for poor performance after getting wet with 1st gens is the TCI and/or connectors. The TCI is located under the coil pack mounted to the bottom of the coil mounting frame. Access to the connectors requires removal of the airbox, but removal of the TCI requires removal of the upper fairings. I have seen the TCI's literally have standing water inside the box. The baking process removes the moisture and it's best to take the cover off the box, 4 screws, and bake at 175- 200 for a couple of hours. Reinstalling the TCI on top of the airbox is an excellent idea as it allows instant access for servicing and/or replacing. The only issue is you have to break off one of the mounting ears to make it fit. The wires have enough length to reroute. How about the coils? The caps may need replacing. You can remove each wire and inspect the caps for cracks and make sure the rubber "O" rings are in place on each wire. Spray the inside coil contact with some WD40, and snip about 1/4" off the wire before reinstalling and after the cap is reinstalled coat the outside of the cap with some vasoline to keep the moisture out...

    Unfortunately the driver turned his view away from the driver after the impact. I am really trying to see if the lady was quickly putting her cell phone out of view... PS as far as the SUV's brake lights, I'm sorry, but you have to be pretty brain dead not to notice a stopped vehicle brake lights or not...

    no, between any 2 wires. Each combination should give you about the same AC voltage. Can't say if I ever tried between the wires and ground because unplugged they are not referenced to ground, just each other. Draw a "Y" and make each leg a coil. All 3 coils are commoned at the center and it should not be at ground. If any of the wires read asnything to ground the winding is shorted to ground and the stator is toast. There should be a very high resistance to ground in the order of thousands of millions of ohms. You need a special "Hipot" tester to read this resistance. Even though a winding is not directly shorted to ground, if it's insulation rresistance is low then the stator is also toast as the output AC for that winding will be lower than it should be, similar to what the output voltage will be if some of the winding is shorted out to itself...

    Don't forget to upgrade your battery cables to thicker wire as well! The 1st gen cables are enemic to say the least...

    And I just gave a spare stator away at MD!! Yah, sounds like one of the windings bit the dust. It is a Wye configuration, and as long as you had the stator unplugged you should get an equal AC voltage between any combination of wires. A statore is an AC generator, the rotor is just a magnet that goes round and round and as it does the magnetic lines of force produce an electrical current as they pass the wires. The north pole makes the electricity go one direction, and the south pole makes the electricity go the opposite direction, hence ALTERNATING Current, not Direct current. Changing the AC to DC is the job of the rregulator...

    Yah! Been using Satellite radio for a few years now and am very happy overall...
  14. bongobobny
    Hmmmm, 1st Gen or 2nd Gen??
  15. bongobobny
    You're leaving those guys alone with Lily?!!? Oh, the humanity...
  16. bongobobny
    Maybe Chubby Checker will finally sell his too!! He hasn't ridden it since he broke his wrist at Marcarl's!
  17. bongobobny
    Yah! Welcome aboard, we don't care what you ride. Hey, we even let the GW crowd in here... Hope you can find another project bike, the Venture is a very durable and dependable scoot!!
  18. bongobobny
    Man do I ever have a lot of stuff for you when you come over...
  19. bongobobny
    Yah!! Tomorrow calls for rain, and I am picking up a new CPAP mask after work tomorrow...
  20. bongobobny
    I'll check. See ya on the 4th!
  21. bongobobny
    Yes, so I read in your other thread AFTER this thread...
  22. bongobobny
    Yah! Make sure you have the plus and the minus hooked up right on the compressor. Make sure 12 volts is getting to the horn with a voltmeter when you press the horn button and you hear the relay click...
  23. bongobobny
    Take two pills and call me in the morning...
  24. bongobobny
    Gonna get the Can Am R/T Mimke??? Yah, we will be entertaining the Aussie Posse for the weekend!! Come on down if you like!

    Rocket needs my torque wrench to do the clutch but we were waaaaay too busy this weekwend to get it over to you, Tom. I have both 1/4" and 3/8" drive for him to use. I will be working until 4:30 each day and tomorrow am going to Lowes after work in O.P. to pick some stuff up. Any chance we can meet up somewhere??
