Well, my shirt size is "extra medium".

There are a lot of average people out there. My psychiatrist has assured me that I need never fear that...

The fairing does not quite match the tank and sides. I'm thinking a period Pichler or similar aftermarket fairing, as they were hot poop in the 80s. Quite possibly a 120 crank, as it also has the calipers to the rear.

"Might" consider coating the tank to preserve the graphics. Unless they are already bubbled.

Eternal rest unto a him!

Chinese ownership: Benelli, Moto Morini, Pirelli. Manufacturing/Tech agreements: KTM and who else? Chinese money has been the quick fix, but you might as well give them the company as the CCP will steal everything it can. Remember that "China" is a 75 year old, amoral nation, where the national motto is 可以的话作弊 (cheat if you can).

Both tight may indicate that the engine was not as cold as when you set them.

Fellow on the Kawi forum is looking at a 2-valve Norge today. "And now for somthing completely different..."

Oh. Maybe went bungee jumping? There is sound advice to swap the springs from the seat release under the tailpiece with the fast idle spring. The seat release can use more pressure and the fast idle, less.

Not only keeps you going, it hopefully gets you going. These really should have been the sealed 'AMP' connectors, but that's for another life.

Had a poor > no start issue. There is a multi-pin connector on the left front of the frame from the regulator/rectifier wiring loom. It is not a sealed connector and is exposed to rain, road spray, soap, etc. Separate it and clean the terminals on both sides using a pipe cleaner soaked in contact cleaner, denatured alcohol or similar. Probe as far into the connectors as you can, then use air or canned "duster" to blow everything out and dry it. Then, probe and swab the contacts using a fresh pipe cleaner with Caig DeoxIt on it, then plug and unplug 2-3 times to ensure good contact. I had no problems since. A check of running voltage with a multimeter will let you know if all is OK. Mine was 14.02V, which is "acceptable."

But NOT with Tyco relays!!! Oh crap, the yaw control is intermittant. Let me just pull to the side of the......

So now when I shoot them overhead I can be charged with murder rather than vandalism?
