    Who is "them"? The voices inside your head?

    Bummer! It sounds like the gas might be going out the exhaust. I know there is a cure for that but it involves liberal amounts of solidified H20 for an extended period of time. Lets hope it's not needed to soon. In the mean time I would recommend a couple ounces of sea foam once in a while and extended road trips to monitor the situation.

    Never mind....found it right under the search criteria box

    Some pages want to load up in a foreign language (Catlin) Google then asks me if I would like it translated to english. There is a drop down list of languages...but english is greyed out. How can I make english the default language?

    Seems to still be VERY common. Ridiculous shipping costs very often. But....like most of us here in Canada, we have had to pay huge brokerage fees when we receive an international package thru UPS....as well as taxes and sometimes duty. Buyer Beware....and Be Aware!

    I'd strongly recommend Skydoc for most parts you need. I got Progressives from him and they included very easy to follow step by step instructions Not only decent prices but he's usually ready willing and VERY able to help out with any technical info.

    21 lbs of air in the front is the max. the manual calls for so if you are still bottoming out your springs are probably shot. A set of progressive springs will probably help that. Next to tires, progressive springs are probably the single best thing you can do to improve your handling too. a super brace helps handling but won't do anything about bottoming out.

    Friesman is talking about the integrated armrests that are part of the trunk box. but if you are asking about "add on" arm rests, those from a Mk II (1300) will not fit a Mk I (1200) You can see the arm rests (both types) in the picture below.

    VGoose, you probably have forgotten more about these bikes than I know....but if the AIS is Cracked or has a seam leaking air, would that not cause too much air into the mixture? I know having the air box off causes it to run like junk...because of too much air.

    That's the pre-load I was talking about I knew it was about that depth of oil...and OF COURSE you have to check with the springs OUT. DUH!
  13. Trader
    How much preload did you put in? That is determined by the length of the spacers at the top I don't know about the number of oz. but the oil should be something like 4" from the top (with the springs in) Someone can jump in and make correct what the distance from the top should be.

    Don't be put off by those who say it is a big deal. It's not! I am not much of a wrench as you probably know if you see all the dumb questions I ask....but I replaced my slave cyl. with a new one, without any issues in a surprisingly short time. Hardest part was finagling it in and out....have to manoeuver it just so!

    I've seen the same thing....Developer buys property besides a working farm and builds homes. new homeowners then complain about barnyard smells. Farm is forced to shut down. Seems wrong to me.

    It might not help fix the problem....but it might end it.

    When you say it was "kaput" was it by any chance showing an "E4" error? Because they can be repaired! The is help here on how to resolder the connections...which has brought many Class controllers back from the dead. I just bought a soldering iron and de-solder vacuum so I can work on a few I have with issues.

    That seems like a great idea for troubleshooting...but how can you tell the difference between a good circuit and a bad circuit? Will the headlight be noticeably brighter (when the fuse would blow) than normal? Or would it only light if an excess current is present?

    My guess would be a worn wire . I know....don't thank me

    That's what I was thinking....comfort. I can't imagine any duel purpose bike having the comfort level of the VR, regardless of age. It sounds like you've had to change an engine before....what are you doing to these bikes? I thought they were relatively bomb proof!

    Gonna start calling you Eck!

    Way off topic

    Trader replied to Bubber's topic in Watering Hole

    Isn't that the ideal job for contact cement? ...paint both surfaces with it, wait for it to set up a bit then press and roll it together. It stay's "rubbery" when dried. I used "scotch" contact cement on a few jobs and it was not only easy to work with but very strong when dried.

    GoPro flies!

    Trader replied to a topic in Videos

    Didn't travel too far as the seagull flies (or crow)...but I'm sure they didn't get all the way there in the time recorded.

    sigh.....update your details or signature or at least tell us what kind of bike you have the problem with. Saves us having to look at your profile .....to see you ride a 2nd Gen Sorry....I can't help you with them new fangled devices.
