    Fuel Pump?

    My 2007 just experienced the exact same issue, even to the clicks when turning on the ignition. When I finally got it to run it was after I heard maybe 5 or 6 clicks which reprimed the carbs. Has run OK for the last few days, not sure of reliability at this point. At least the bypass is an easy fix so that I do not get stranded:headache:

    put a kumho on yesterday

    Ok, now my 2 cents worth. I have had my Kumho on my 08 Venture for about a year now and for the type of riding I do I should have done this a long time ago. Now for some more info about my riding. My bike is equipped with a Champion Escort sidecar about 2006 model and adds about almost 200 pounds to the bike. Riding with that kind of weight and towing a trailer the Kumho tire that I had mounted on my bike has given me a tremendous amount of traction and stability on both acceleration and deceleration on my bike. Taking sharp curves and turns in the hill country of central Texas is also so much more stable no slipping and no sliding at all unless your on a a wet road.

     

    So far I have about 11,000 miles on the tire and so far not much in wear is showing.

     

    I think and this is my opinion, this is about as good as it gets.

    Car tire on rear

    in Trike & Sidecar Talk

    Hi there;

     

    I can't answer your question but...

     

    How easy did the tire seat on your rim? Do you know at what pressure it seated?

    I just put a Voyager kit on & my next tire change will be a CT now. The Kumo was a *****!

     

    Thanks,

    JohnB

     

    Not sure, I didn't watch. The installer told me it was no problem.

    POll on current darksiders

    Just put the car tire on the rear a few days ago. I read all there was to read on the darksider forum.

     

    With only 100 miles, I'm still in the "check it out" stage. Did have to adjust the tilt of the sidecar, and it rides great. Makes sense with the sidecar rig as I don't lean the same as a 2-wheeler. I haven't had it over 65 mph either.

     

    Then again, I'm new to sidecars and bikes as a driver, so it's all an experiment at this stage!

    What size and Brand of tire did you put on your bike:confused:

    Ignition noise through IC

    in GPS, Audio, Electronics

    Posted

    I've recently started to get a ticking noise through my Headset. The noise is directly related to engine revs so I believe its caused by the ignition system. On old vehicles we used to install chokes (capacitors) to eliminate this.

     

    Because this has only just started to happen on my 2007 RSV which I have had since new maybe this choke or whatever the bike uses has broken down. Could anyone advise me as to where this type of device or any other device that the bike uses for ignition noise supression is loacated:(

     

    Thanks

    Raked triple tree's

    It added 5 deg of rake. Hannigan manufacture a complete new triple tree, so I still have my origional. Have not really noticed a larger U turn requirement, however the nature of the modification will inherently mean a larger radius for the turn. A small price to pay for easier handling and turning:thumbsup2:
