    It is a pain but with patience it works. Make sure the gasket is sitting properly or you will have the same problem quickly. Hard to see but you can feel the gasket is sitting properly. I use some gasket sealer to hold the gasket to the cover while putting it back on but the slightest bump and it can fall off. Brad

    Had an 86 Standard and went to a 99, mainly to get the better Radio (sound), CB, and to get away from the creaking plastic of the 1 st gen fairing. A lot of tabs were broken on the 1st gen and I do not like that type of work. I just turn the volume up if the engine sound gets annoying , PS mine is not that bad. Brad

    Doing okay

    Must have missed it, as I never knew they were moving or they were having health troubles. I am very sorry to hear of this and hope all is better for them in the Future. Brad

    Get comfortable first and you should be okay, as mentioned it is a heavy bike, so it needs respect. The slow speed in the parking lots takes a little time to get used too. Levelling links help this a little but remember it raises the seating position a couple of inches. Brad

    Good service, makes you feel good about your purchase. Hope you enjoy it the new seat. Brad

    Your welcome, I hope you found the bike you will fel comfortable on. I believe that is a big deal, feeling comfortable, on what your riding and if the RSV was not it then you made the right decision. Funny though I find my 99 lighter to pick up (of the stand) than my 86, and I felt the 86 was more top heavy than the 99. However in the parking lots the 99 is definetly one that you have to be careful with. Best of luck and hoping you stick around. And you forgot the number one rule Pictures. We still get the pictures.

    I too never understood this. When a plug gets old, does it loose the amount of spark (current), as most of the time they look good when there removed. Only once, did I remove a set and they looked good but the bike ran much better after the new ones were in. The reason I changed them was the bike did not run at all, but they looked good when they were removed. Brad

    Agree with condor but would take the battery for a load test. As mentioned check for corroded contacts, but I would look at the ground wire first. Brad

    Maybe that because they don't want too Brad

    Joe I weigh about the same as you maybe slightly less. My wife rides her own but often she will come with me. I almost always let her on first. Yes it can be a hard to get it off the stand, but normally I do not have a problem, ot at least it does not bother me that much as once it is going it is such a nice ride. I have levelling links as well and yes it does stay lean more. BTW I am 6' tall. After a long day of riding I find it tougher, guess I am getting tired. Actually in Fort Collins this summer I stopped at a spot after being on the bike for 12 hours and it was parked on a hill and I could not lift it up. It was too far over and I was tired. I guess look before you park and try to make sure it is level. They are heavy. Brad

    Thought there was a problem with the Exhaust Stroke for some reason there was none. Brad

    Just last week I noticed a small puddle of oil under the shock. 38,000 miles. I installed levelling links justa couple months back. I think it has been leaking for a while though Brad

    Mini Amplifier

    BradT replied to BradT's topic in Watering Hole

    The one I originally posted was the one I thought was small and easy to install, compared to the EQ that replaces the Tape deck. Personally I think the EQ one would work better though. Sorry if I confused you. Brad

    On the back of a Trailor it could get there a little quicker. Brad

    Link worked for me but I am a member at the Dephi Forums. (here it is) Brad Somewere in the wilds of northern Canada. I decidedto park my scooter (at a funny angle) AN PRACTICE MY ASPHALT tUMBLING ACT. By now most have seen the pics of the northern mishap lol. But what most of you may not know or understand. Is that as Northern Canadian bikers we must take special precation in late ridin season . And must carry a snowmoble ski while riding late in the season. Just incase we git cot in an early snow storm. Now I attribute the fact that both the scooter an I were not seriously bent or brokin was do to with the fact that I had my WINTER SAFTEY EQUIPMENT with me. The snow ski was strapped to the rear seat, ( securely I may add) and stuck out about 18" on each side of the said scooter. And so as I parked my scooter the MAIN impact was absorbed by the ski as the scooter went down , By which time I was already into my asphalt tumbleweed act. Now as you all can see there are TWO reasons for us to carry our Winter saftey equipment late in the riding season . # 1 =The ski can be used on the front wheel if you incounter an early snow storm. # 2 =To absorb the impact if you park funny, ta do what ever impersonation you may wish . lol.
