    Went for 3 hour ride to swap meet i Fort Erie(Can.) then back after a few hours. Bought a new Gel battery then visited MarCarl on way home. Went to work next night and mysteriously my driving light started turning until it pointed into left ditch. Got home in morning and took it apart and tightened it up again. Can't figure out why it would come loose unless someone bumped it at meet or work.

    Got around to change anti-freeze as dealer never changed it over the last 5 years of service done on bike.(found out after looking at receipts of work done) Had to buy new plugs behind fake cylinder covers after 2 started leaking after the change which meant taking tank and lower fairing off to get access to drain fluid. Took it out today for test ride and everything seems OK. Pretty chilly out (-1- -5) New grips MarCarl helped with seem to help with hand gripping.

    Update on truck----part that failed was the main fuse-box under hood.Finally picked truck up yesterday. Had to phone them and left message--2 hours later they called to say truck was done. Went to pick up and ended up $1350can part $900+ labor + diagnostic + tax(government tax added) Got in truck to leave AND Air-bag light came on--drove around building right back into service so tech could check it out. Found out this was the second unit tried as replacement was defective. After getting new one they forgot to make sure all fuses and relays were seated in the box so ABS and Air-bag lights came on. They said instructions didn't tell them to do this?????? I think it would have been the first thing to do without being told. All in all everything seems to be all right for now. Seems the saying goes and usually applies to me If It wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Kretz for turning them around. Carl used step drill to cut the end hole(of the grips) out to the thread size of the weights then turned down roughly 1/2 in. or so of the chromed shoulder so it could slide in and bolt up to handle bars. They look and feel great. Thanks again!! Carl also mentioned how well my bike seemed to be holding the trailer. When I got home and had my son help me take bike off my truck had every idiot light on the dash light up and started dinging. Took into dealer on Tues. and found out it could be part of the computer as the part is going to cost $900can and a total of $1300can to get it back. Had to wait till Wed. to get part in overnight but snowed in morning and 2 mechanics couldn't get to work and the tec who does this work phoned in sick so waited till Thurs. but jobs from Wed. were to go first before mine and so didn't get any where until today and just called and am waiting to find out if I get it back today

    battery

    sleepy2 posted a topic in Watering Hole

    Went to go to Picket line and bike turned over good but wouldn't start so retried and nothing just buzzed. Put spare in and took to battery shop and they tested it saying there were no bad cells but needed charge. Put on charger for less than 2 hours and said it was charged. Tried test that was suggested -rev bike to around 2500 to 3000rpms and check voltage which was around 13.7v. Is this OK (they said should be over 14.5v) or should I look into a new voltage regulator? Anything else to check. It is a 2012.

    Battery charged up in around 2 hrs at 2amp. Took off and checked at 12:54 volts. Checked spare battery I put in and revved bike up to what sounded about that rpm and stayed around 13:75volts. Think this OK or should I investigate further?

    Went to go to picket line(our local union 88 is out because of corporate greed[my opinion]they shipped one of our vehicles to MEXICO ) and bike didn't start right away so tried second time and bbbbuuuuzzz no start. So got tools out and put in spare battery I had laying around and took battery in for test and they said no dead cells but tester said recharge and recheck. Brought battery home and put on regular charger at 2amps like they said and 2 hours later it said full charge. So not sure if battery will be OK or should I check charging system. Battery is 5 years old but have got longer time out of it.
