Don't get that but have had repeated thumping sensation coming from the back. Sometimes I feel it in my back and other times in my helmet. I assume it is suspension related since it only occurs while riding two up .

This is like the one I have only I bought mine out of the clearance section at Canadian tire.

Is that what makes the difference between yellow corn and white corn

Unless of course you planned on repainting the bike anyway and needed to strip off the existing paint. Just say'n BTW back bleeding with a syringe or pressure bottle is my 1st choice as well. Have tried using a washer pump like I use on the big rigs but it is way too fast and turns the open master into a mini fountain. Pretty but messy

What is this noise from the carbs?
saddlebum replied to megablok's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Take a length about 18 to 24 inches of rubber heater hose or similar. Put an ear plug in one ear and hold one end of the hose to your other ear. Move the other end around the engine listening to see if you can pinpoint were the sound is coming from. -
You just never know and those are the type of things that worry most whether in a car or on a bike. A friend of my parents lost their son, who I had known since I was a small boy, this summer when a transport truck going east on the 403 suddenly shot across a twenty or so foot grass ditch crossed the west bound side and went up the opposite bank. In doing so he took my friend and his car who was traveling on the west bound side, up the bank with him and instantly killed him.

Yes remove and toss the wire keeper the two half washers and the half disc. This is all replaced by a full disc. in the Barnett kit which comes with the proper number of discs and steels and eliminates the need for the half disc, washers and wire retainer. -

It sounds like you installed too many parts. If you got the Barnett clutch complete with a full set of discs,The only parts required are those included in the Barnett clutch Kit. Also you take the the OEM retainer wire half disc and the two thin washers on either side of the disc and install them into the nearest trash can as they are not used with the Barnett clutch pack. Also there are no alignment markings to concern yourself with as with the OEM clutch pack. -
I am not that well versed on the 2021 bikes but dealing with electronics on transport trucks and assuming the speedo on these bikes are based on pulses per mile derived from a wheel speed sensor I have to wonder if this could be a calibration issue. On trucks we take into account the tire revs per mile and the the drive line ratio. Using a specific mathematical formula we derive a figure referred to as pulses per mile. this figure is then programmed into the ECM. to get the correct reading at the speedometer.

I am agreeing with Marcarl on the electrical side if this is occurring even with the engine not running. Things that come to mind are Fuel pump running on due to faulty pressure sensor or wiring short, fan running on due to faulty temp sensor or wiring fault. relay cutting in and out due to wiring fault, this often sounds like a buzzer. Starter solenoid acting up again wiring fault also check your handle switch for conductive debris such as green corrosion affecting your starter button. -
I also enjoy riding in winter as long as the roads are clear and dry. Extra precaution is definitely required since they do sand the roads up here and I am sure the colder temps are not optimum temps for motorcycle tire performance but slip on a snowmobile suit and it it is enjoyable. I have been told more than once I am nuts because its too cold for comfort. Yet many of these same folks spend all day out on their snowmobiles. Do snow mobiles make the outside temp warmer ? Maybe I am not sure I don't ride snowmobiles, one toy is all I can afford, Plus when I go into the woods I prefer to walk and enjoy the silence versus a noisy machine encroaching on the peacefulness of the woods. Guess I am crazy by today's standards.

Navigation System Updates
saddlebum replied to American's topic in Star Venture and Eluder Tech Talk ( '18 - Present)
Ya gotta wonder how they can justify knowing there are so many cheaper options out there starting with phone apps that range from totally free to annual subscriptions that do not require cell service to function for approx $16.00 annually with monthly to weekly free updates. Or GPS units like Garmin or TomTom for about $600 or less depending on the unit that usually come with free lifetime maps and updates. But I guess its up to the customer wether or not they want that option. -
It was a nice day for it so I am sure you were in your glory.

So now that the dust has settled more or less with the pros and cons of going to windows 10. Windows 11 is hitting the fan. Anybody have any insight to this latest upgrade?

What happens to your bike when your not home by midnight
saddlebum replied to saddlebum's topic in Watering Hole
I have been lead to believe they are tubeless, but do contain some sort of filling type substance and balancing seeds as well -

Hard to tell on the video but it almost sounds like the starter is running on or hanging up. Instead of using the key to crank the engine try shorting across the two big studs on the solenoid to crank the starter and see if you still get that noise. If not you may have a sticking solenoid. This can happen when the contacts inside the solenoid get pitted and as a result they sort of temporarily weld themselves together after a few seconds that weld point gets red hot and the points break apart again. If it still make a noise when shorting across the solenoid the other possibility is a faulty starter sprag clutch or starter gears the sound would be coming from the area of the stator
