Here is how I bleed the slave. 1st I do not pump the clutch lever. 2nd I open the bleeder screw slowly apply the clutch until it bottoms out then close the screw and wait a few minutes. 3rd I again open the bleeder screw only this time as I slowly apply the clutch then close it when it when the clutch lever bottoms out. I continue with step 3 until brake fluid comes out of bleeder screw. 4th I now slowly apply the clutch with bleeder screw closed, pause for a few seconds then open the bleeder screw and quickly close it again before the clutch lever totally bottoms out. I continue with step 4 until no more air comes out of bleeder screw. 5th with handle bar in straight ahead position so fitting at master is at its highest possible point in comparison to the reservoir, I apply the clutch lever slowly until it stops. I hold it for a few seconds then slowly open and then quickly close the fitting bolt. I continue with step 5 until it no longer spits out air around the banjo fitting. Make sure everything below the the clutch lever is covered and protected from over spray and toss a rag over the banjo fitting while you bleed it to avoid getting sprayed in the eyes. When doing the final part of the bleeding you do not need to look at the fitting so cover it with a rag because you can hear the difference between air coming out or pure fluid. Or if you prefer wear safety goggles.

The weight is most likely there as a vibration damper to keep the cover quiet and prevent it from developing fatigue cracks.

I have used oven cleaner for years and it has always worked. You have to be careful with lacquer thinner. It can damage some painted surfaces depending on the type of paint.

One of my neighbors who is a member of southern cruisers told me they were informed that group rides are cancelled because if the person in front sneezes the ones behind catch it. He said it did not concern him..... He is a ride captian. Moped must be in his Glory. On another note even though my wife is in Highland Illinois she still seems to be able to work the honey-do-list I have done some major cleanup in my basement wood working shop, around the yard and soon will be moving stuff around in the garage (I used to refer to it as, clean the garage but hey I may as well call it what it is)

Thank God there is a Sunday. At least that way ONE day a week Marcarl is nice ......Even to @Patch.

That may be somewhat debatable some members prefer to just chuck them after they have taken them out change plugs or to do a valve set. Myself I have always put them back in but If i did not have any to put back in then I probably wouldn't sweat it. I am assuming your talking about a 1st gen.

Whats all the other stuff? Did it come with the pump or did you order that stuff separately?

:clap2::clap2::clap2:

I already got the closet you just gonna have to find someplace else.

Vanishing point was not a scary movie see attached clip.

Prayers for your brother and family said. Hope he pulls through OK.

So the news your clear of CV is good news but don't mess around with the pneumonia its still a serious thing and you don't want to mess with it.

That the same bus and location used in the movie Vanishing point?

So,the first time I went to Walmart after the panic buying began, just to do my normal shopping,. I was stunned at which shelves were cleaned out 1st. TP, snacks like popcorn and potato chips etc. and water. I found this rather curious since if I were to stockpile these would be the last thing on my list. TP you can do without since there are numerous alternatives to TP. Man has gone many centuries W/O TP. You can wash. There are some countries even today, that consider TP unsanitary and use water trickled down there backside and wash, then wash their hands afterwards. You can even tear up old towels or t-shirts into wash cloths and wash them the way we used to do with cloth diapers. Snacks you can do without and in most cases they are not even good for you. Water is somewhat debatable since the water situation can vary from area to area but in most cases I don't see us running short of water. You can even set out rain barrels for wash water as well as filter and boil water for consumption. The run on milk is ridicules since unless you freeze it, it has a short shelf life. My Granddaughter works for a grocery store and say's people have been over buying milk and then returning it as it nears expiry date or simply returning it because they realize it will probably go bad before they get around to using it. The store has a policy of accepting all returns but they cannot ethically put it back on the shelf,due to the fact you have no idea how it has been handled or stored while out of the stores possession, so it ends up being dumped. In the mean time it could have been sold to people who can use it but could not get any because of these panic hoarders. I do agree we do have a serious situation in that we do not have a handle on this virus, which is sweeping around the world like wild fire, hence no vaccine and no cure. But panic will solve nothing nor will ignorance or stupidity like my coworker who thinks its a big joke to paw people and laughing at their discomfort right after a notice was put out that we should maintain a 6 ft space. In our situation we deal with truck drivers that are still running cross country and cross border to maintain a supply of goods, so we need to be extra diligent and this clown thinks its all a big joke. I spoke to my Doctor over the phone to get a renewal on a prescription and we ended up in a discussion about covid-19. During that discussion, I mentioned this joker I work alongside to him to see what he had to say about it and I was surprised when because of my cardiovascular history, high blood pressure and age as well as working alongside an idiot, as my Dr. put it, my Doctor strongly insisted I take the time off work. He also stated that unlike other flu virus's this one is a real sleeper. A person can have the virus easily for ten days or more with out showing symptoms and spread it to numerous individuals in the meantime, so that by the time the symptoms appear, you have no idea how may people a person has passed it on to. His office has even closed its doors to all but the most needy patients and other Doctor offices have apparently completely closed.

What you want is something that wont take up a lot of space in your saddlebags yet inflates tires quickly. Here is my recommendation.

And then will come the one and only day of all times she decides to visit the neighbors upon her return to Burlington look out into the back yard and recognize her plants. Don't ask me how but she will know......she always knows......If this is your plan for helping me out I'm think'n you ain't exactly a plan'n on my behalf. As a matter of fact something tells me your look'n to enjoy'n this.

No need to worry about that. The thing I need to worry about is her discovering I brought home a 3rd Venture and that I may have forgot to water the flowers a time or two. They do recover though......right?......Don't they?

And I am not skin and bones when she gets back either. Though I do loose a few pounds that needed loosing anyway. Problem is when she does get back home she fattens me up again with all her good cooking and baking.

She actually did not choose to leave. Her Dad is not well and is under her sisters care. Every so often she goes down to give her sister a break.

So I be out shoppi'n cause I is all alone due to wifey being in Highlan Il just outside of St Louis and gots ta fend for my self for a while. So while I bees a shoppi'n I sees a whole mess a fresh smelt so I gets me some. Gets i'm home mixes up some milk and egg, dipps in the wet stuff and then coats i'm with flour. Toss im in the hot oil and first thing I notice the flour aint-a-stick'n. Oh well lets em fry up any way when there done I toss em to drain on a towel then onto the plate. Goes to eat them and many they kinda sweet and crunchy Dat Don't Makes No Sense, Pull out the flour pot and finds out it aint flour Its Icing sugar. Dang they still tasted good though if not a tad on sweet side.

I believe it is called sometimers disorder but I am amazed how you managed draw it out into a loonnggg explanation . Must be a Patch or Puc thing and seems like you be catch'n it.

Praying for you brother and for Eileen to have the strength to put up with you while you get better.

I'm thinking Carl Deafness and wife deafness probably arise for the same reasons. Which you may determine for yourself cause I aint taken any more chances on that one You mean those one or two words I toss in the ring -----Sure don't take much

Sooo there is such an affliction, and all this time while my wife has been accusing me of not paying attention it wasn't that at all. I was simply suffering from wife deafness. In other words it wasn't my fault at all. fellow workers have often wondered how I can work on a GM with the door open and the key on while the chimes go ding ding ding the whole time while the rest of the shop goes crazy and I simply tell them guess I been married so long I don't hear it any more. I wonder if this may be a side affect of wife deafness.

I won't be much of a distraction cause I be too busy counting all the cars passing us at the border cause Carl picked the wrong lane........again.
