  1. ABSOLUTELY I would ride it on 2 wheels, looks like quite the adventure. I'd feel safer on 2 than 4.
  2. When my wife had her ACE 750 I ran Castrol Actevo 10-40 semi synthetic oil in it, the bike ran good, shifted smooth and no clutch slippage. As for the air filter, K&N is a good filter when used properly. Your statement about the cement factory tells me there's lots of fine dust and that is a concern, if I were you, I'd also run a pre-filter on the K&N. K&N's filter better as they collect dirt, a fresh one will allow some fine particles to enter the engine until they get a little dirty, that's why my dune buggies all ran pre-filters, they stop the finer dirt and dust. If you can't run a pre-filter I'd go with a paper filter. Take a look at THIS link, it shows the pre-filters.
  3. That tool only works close up, I prefer a tool that works at a bit longer distances Here in Michigan, it's the same penalty as if you're carrying a gun, so you may as well carry the more effective & versatile weapon.
  4. Safe travels and bring home a Tee shirt
  5. Sorry to here that the ladies have to work tell them we will miss them.
  6. I've done a few and like has been said, it's an easy job to do. The hardest part of the whole procedure is cleaning the tools when you're done.
  7. A hooker woulda been cheaper ! :mo money:
  8. But it's PURPLE !!! :rotfl:
  9. Tents are welcome, we'll find ya a spot. I thought you were on the other side of the country not the state! Come early, stay late. Glad to have ya. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
  10. Time for another party! I just posted in Meets & Eats. Have a look, join us if you dare. July 19th West Bloomfield, Michigan
  11. +1 on the Carbon One lift adapter. Makes lifting the RSV easy & safe.
  12. No tricks, pretty straight forward. I reused the donuts. If the muffler is stubborn a rubber strap wrench comes in handy to twist and loosen the slipon mufflers. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
  13. My condolences on your loss, it served you well so it deserves a respectable burial. I used a dab of moly grease, I suppose lithium would also work well, you just don't want it to melt off with the engine heat
  14. If you'd have read what I posted earlier you'd have seen that I did mention that NOW.... go fix your refrigerator
  15. Also look at the rubber dust boots on each end of the shift rod, they dry out and crack, nows a good time to do those too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
  16. oil seal P/N 93102-14209-00 Did you also order the sealing washers for the hydraulic line connection to the slave cylinder ? you need 2 P/N 90201-10118-00
  17. I just got done doing this job, to get the seal out I poked a hole in it then used a hooked pick inserted into the hole and pulled it out. When you poke the hole, dont go in to far, there is a land behind it so try not to mar it. the new seal installs easy, just tap into hole till flush with the bore. That seal will always leak when you have the middle gear cover off because it supports the outer end of the shaft. The seal is in the motor case not the cover. Be sure to lube the shaft where the seal rides Nd the outer end where the cover supports it.
  18. Not only if it fits you well, it must also be comfortable to carry or it will sit on the shelf doing you no good. I bounce back & forth between a S&W .40 and a .38spl wheel gun depending on how I'm dressed.
  19. I hope you and Becky made it home ok. And I agree, the maple is a little overbearing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
  20. The FJR is a nice bike but for us height challenged riders the seat height is a deal breaker. I have no opinion on the Strat, I've never ridden one.
  21. Our condolences to the whole family. Bob, Becky, if you need a break while in town you're always welcome to stop on by. There's a sailor here who'd like to meet you.
  22. First off, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR NATION. Sorry for the loss of your fellow soldiers. Welcome home. I as well as many others look forward to seeing you and the wife at some of the various events . Now let the fun begin ! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
  23. I have a GoPro 3. At first I found it difficult to use, now, after spending some time with it I have no problem operating it with either the buttons or via smartphone wifi. I use the wifi for setup then shut off the wifi and control it with the buttons while riding.( Wifi eats the battery) I bought some extra batteries on ebay , I now have four and when fully charged will record a full day's ride. Buy the fastest SD cards for best performance. I have 3 32GB cards and have never been able to fill them all in a days ride, even at max resolution and frame rate. I upload the days video to the laptop at the hotel when we stop for the night. no experience with other cams. A lot of the other cams do not have interchangeable batteries so when it's dead your done for the day.
  24. Patricia, You beat me to the question! I was going to ask Puc the same thing, do ya want to sell it Puc ? If so put me second in line .
