That's EXACTLY what those plugs/caps are for, using a CO sniffer to set each mixture for a reading of 5.1. A tad more accurate than using a colortune plug...

And, if I recall right, early standards had a different petcock, only on/off and did not have the reserve, but same tank...

Hmmmm, good thing that does not add up to 666...

Hmmmm, in our day we would have just beat the crap out of the kid and got on with life...

Ummmm, next time unplug the TCI??

Well Big Tom, we did, but we didn't...

Thanks! Yup, I was lied to by a supposed authority here too!!! I passed up a pretty good deal on Fleabay on a rim sans rotors a month or two back...

4 cents?? What happened, inflation??? Hey, I also can't find a "cents" key on my keyboard, must be a "smart phone" thing...

Hot Sex!! We always have Hot Sexaround the campfire... Yah! Think of you guys often too!

Sooo,I was lied to???

Check to see if besides the bolt holes diameter, you also have to worry about the offset of the rotors, or how far off, if any, the center of the rotor is from the center of the actual disc. Could be that the rotors themselves may actually physically bolt onto the strat rim, but when you go to put the calipers on, they may not properly align with the rotors due to some kind of an offset with the strat rotors. The nice thing about the Strat rotors is they are "floating" design...

OK my take... Harleys always have, and probably always will, leaked oil!!! Harleys seem to appeal to the Outlaw types...

Uhhhh, Engineers know how to use tools?????

Mine too!!

Yup!! I've seen worse, usually fixed with welding, MacGuiver'ing using fat fender washers...

Yup!!!! I just ASS-U-ME'd that he took the cover off to show where the leak was coming from. Figured he saw weeping coming from the cover and investigated...

OK known fact, TCI's have more issues than working or not working. Some of them will start, but you rev them up and they sort of "fall off" causing breakup at higher RPM's. Ask Earl, I had a bunch of TCI's I sent to him about 6 years ago or longer. He tested each and every one of them in his bike and sent me detatiled notes on how they performed. A couple of them caused misfires with higher RPM's...

Which warning Icon?? The 2nd gen "warnings, as it were, are through the fuel tank, and usually has to do with pollution issues...

OK the only one I know of for sure is the Stratoliner 18" wheel which is plug and play IF (as I was told) you use the Strat rotors as well. Supposedly (I was told, didn't try) the Venture rotors will not bolt on...

OK a little advice with leaking valve cover gaskets. The real issue is those rubber grommets that go on the valve cover gaskets have taken what is known as a "set" from age, and if you try to reuse them with new gaskets they will leak!! The problem is the bolts themselves bottom out, and the old rubbers will not push down on the valve cover enough to make as tight fit! There is two ways to fix this (actualy 3) either replace the rubbers with new ones (somewhat pricy) or do the poor man's fix and put metal washers on the bolts, or use slightly shorter screws (impossible to find)...

Yah, watched pt 1 and 2, missed pt 3 tonite but will will watch the repeat at 11... I too wonder how much is REALLY true and how much is fiction sort of like Cecil B. DeMille did with "Moses" which is about 45% Biblical and the rest made up... oops, the real title was "The 10 Commandments..."

Yah! What Steve said! Sorry, didn't read your first post close enough, sounds like your fuel gauge is trying to talk to you...

Besides the main fuse, there are two fuse blocks, both on the right side of the bike. One is under the false battery cover, and the other is inside the lower fairing... Hope that helps!

Lookin' good!!

Output voltage from the stator is directly proportional to RPM. The faster the magnet spins inside the stator, the more EMF is generated. At idle the AC will only be around 20 volts AC or so, at 2000 RPM maybe around 30 - 45 volts, 3000 RPM around 60, 5000 RPM probably around a hundred or so. Sorry, do not have exacting figures, and it will vary some from stator to stator, and bike to bike depending on just how strong of a charge it is on the magnet. The idea is as RPM increases, so does AC voltage, and the readings want to be fairly close on all 3 windings...
