  1. Got it! Lighten the load, get some help and then it's mostly technique and a bunch of @$$!. Be careful of the pipes when using MC jack. Use blocks, hockey pucks, whatever. "Nothin' to it... But to do it!" Thanks guys.
  2. Hey guys, What's the best way to jack up a First Gen? Help me out. I want to check the front wheel bearings, steering bearings, rear bearings, swing arm and shock. You know... all that stuff that could cause major mishaps at interstate speeds. So I need to get the front and back off of the ground. Is there an easy way to get it up on to the center stand? That will help for some stuff. I can't seem to do it even with help. I have a Harbor Freight M/C Jack, willingness and ingenuity!
  3. Wish the research had been completed earlier this year. I'm sure my brother (HD Roadking rider) woulda drank a few cans! RIP
  4. Thanx! Actually, the way I heard it is... If we cain't fix it... it aint broke!
  5. What exactly is Seafoam and is this something that should be locally available?

    iexplore is your browser. Do a restart and then open taskmanager. Let things stabilize and then open internet explorer and watch the surge. Are you running xp or win7?

    Fix Cleaner

    What operating system? if its XP then the problem is likely occurring most often when you have a browser running (IE, Chrome, Firefox, etc.). Does it happen when you look at a video? Software grows with technology. Flash and Shockwave have become very taxing of resources. I have had good luck with CCleaner which was mentioned in a previous reply. It may and may not help much. But run it anyway. I was first introduced to CCleaner through my hosting service for my website. You can see what is consuming your resources in taskmanager. You knoww... rt click on the taskbar, select taskmanager, click processes tab, sort on cpu. You will likely see something relatede to the browser you are using. You can end that particular process and the usage will drop. It won't fix the problem, but you will know where to start looking. it'll start back the next time. I have fought this issue. My PC is 2004 1.5g ram Amd Turion 64 mobile. So I am quite familiar with the whole dilemma. I did a complete redo of everything and have decided that modern computer technology has just up and run away and my pc just can't keep up. I have decided to budget for a new one.
