Steve I'm asking around for John on Delphi. I think he does have 2 threads very close on there for some reason. He is located in Midland Mi.

WOW them Harley guys are tuff. Ridin one of them cookers in shorts. Braver then me. I wouldn't have no skin left.

When I lived in Oklahoma, if it was visible you could carry side arm. Where I was it was common to see folks with a side are off and on. Lot of ranches and farms. Could not carry in banks and court house. So whats the insurance your talking about for?

No I don't know where the diode is. I assume your talking the one that is in the side stand circuit? I don't know why there is even one there Best I can tell the circuit grounds to the ECM. Your guess is about as good as mine. Somewhere in the fuse box area in center there makes sense.

Hmm even though your bike is "out of production" as is mine (Victory) I don't see a nice for them to fit in.

Back in my day.........You could poke fun and make jokes and you better be ready to get some back. Back in my day.........You could complement a lady and not worry about getting sued. Now your "harassing them"

Man Dan it just seems to come in waves sometimes. Sorry for his issues and we will pray all works out. Sounds to me like 1 dead nobody hurt.

Instant off. Just like cut switch off. So I and others are pretty sure its electrical. He jumpered the side stand switch today, and has put 150 miles on it. So far so good. You know I was looking at the tip over switch in the wire diagram last night and wondering that. And oddly enough some of the Victory's have a problematic issue with a tip over.

I am kind of helping a fellow out that is having an intermittent stall problem. He has a good fuel pump in it, (few weeks old) and just had the ignition switch out and checked it and cleaned the contacts. No rhyme or reason to it or pattern I have been able to pick up on. Will be riding and bike cuts off, will refire right back. So I have suggested by pass/jumper the handle bar kill switch. Also we have talked about the kick stand switch, but does that not only have something to do with start only? I'm kind of running out of ideas and leaning towards the pick up.

I didn't like the small washers on mine. So I went to hardware store and got some fender washers to help displace the force.

Steve, do we have to be nice to them for a little while to get info before we start treating them like family, and picking on them?

Local news around here was sayin the welding helmet would not provide the correct filtering. But I had a class of students at the time today anywho. It was a weird shade though here in central Fla too. It reminded me of when the football stadium lights are just starting up.

Yup I have been on the octain merry go round threads before. It is true the higher octain burns "slower" which is why typicaly they dont spark knock. Some of the reasons they run what they do is emissions. Faster burning fuel can give them "cleaner" burn. Depending on how long it sits you could run 87 and for winter storage fill with non ethanol.

Yea that kind of stupidity is amazing. So typically I will say us folks on scoots pay WAY more attention to what we are doing then cages. So some joker in a cage comes along texting his girl friend and BOOM.

Most of the time Motorcycle Super store has the best price for me. The E-3 are on the way out as Dunlap has released the E 4. I had good mileage out of the Michelin Commander 2, Price wise the Shinkos are a bargain, good traction and I thought the wear was decent for the price.

If you want to make miles, you got a good bike for that. The Wide Whites look good there. Best part about them are they are on your bike, not mine. LOL I hate white walls, I turn them in on my cars if the tires come that way. Enjoy your ride.

I would be pretty sure Indian had a tent there. There aint an SAE bolt one on that bike. Of course I understand the Motor Company bikes are getting some metric stuff mixed in on some bikes also.

I think it's easier to use the pure gas app and find non-E10 fuel or just go the the airport and get some "can gas" Av gas 110 low lead. I use to run it all the time in my legends car and other race cars. Benn a while but I actually think it was cheaper than the local marina.

What about a solar charger. How much charge rate do you need.

I don't think the RK pipes will fit further back than like 05. I can be wrong, but are the pipes on this bike stacked over under? Is there baffles in them? Maybe just need new packing.

I had a pair like these mounted on my crash bars just above the clamps for the highway pegs. I have a pair just like them mounted on my Victory now. They work pretty well with an extra light looking towards me for cages to see me. And they supply light at night when aimed right towards the road and the edge where I put them. Being LED they don't suck a lot of power either. If you get them off e-bay sort thru as there are different lumens (brightness) available.

I use to run around outside with no shirt all the time when I was younger. Now I battle skin cancer on my face and arms, so shoot I wear them arm sleeve things now if not a long sleeve shirt if out in sun much. I don't think about it much till the Doc makes me do the treatment thing for it. Sucks sometimes. I keep trying to figure out how a guy that worked outside most of his military career on grave shift get skin cancer. :confused24: Beats me. Oh well it don't keep me from doin what I like.

Puc, I have run nothing but balance beads since 08. I have yet to have any of the tires/beads give me any shake. I have used them on the 07 Vulcan 900, the 09 RSV and currently on the Victory Cross Country. The only thing I have noticed is on the Vic occasionally when slowing down and @ say 15 mph no brake applied and one hand I may feel a front end sort of wobble thing. Nothing like I feel like I'm gonna crash, just that sort of wobble. I just throw another hand up and its about time to brake anyways.

Shoot the bag that goes on there probably weighs 4 lb.

With my handy dandy "keyless ignition by-pass relay harness" I make a plug and play by pass set up. Have you tried cleaning the switch contacts by taking the switch apart. Yamaha for some reason decided to run all the initial power when you flip the key up thru the switch. All that amperage burns the contacts in switch. Usually you can get away with cleaning and dressing the contacts and installing just my relay and be problem free for years. If your convinced you want the keyless set up I can make those. Both systems are a plug and play set up. PM me here if you are interested.
