Thanks docc, I did see that thread too. I'll go back through them all and see what it looks like. Still to cold here to do any actual work but time to get ready! dh

Hi Folks. Haven't been on here for ages. Good to see things are moving along. I've got to do the seals in my rear drive this spring so I was searching for threads on the subject. I found several, including Docc's and Pete's but I seem to remember another with lots of photos and some examples of homemade tools to make the task easier. Was it by Andy York? Am I imagining things? Whatever, I haven't found it if it exists. Any guidence would be appreciated. TIA, Dennis in Maine.

To my experience, the problem is the slide in bullet connectors, where the sleeve portion of the connector is wallowed out to too large a size, not making contact with the bullet part. I suspect that heat under the tank may even contribute to the sizing disparity. I had the same symptoms. Full left thunk on the bars resulted in a start. Cleaned the two connectors that the sidestand switch wires run through (under the tank, left side of frame) and no more starting trouble.

Maybe I should leave mine at home too.......... Take the bus!

Since twhitaker brought up some alternative to hooters pics, I thought this fine old thread deserved another go-round...... And something fresh to go with it.

I'll be there if all goes well. Roper may very well show up. Come join the fun! I just might do that Dennis if I can figure out how to fit my camping gear on the bike. If you see a red & gray LeMans with a couple of canoe camping dry bags on it trundling in on Friday that will be me. Hope to see you & Pete there! I really have no bike friendly camping gear or any racks, bags or luggage for the bike. Some of the Mass-boys are helping me out with that. Should be a great time whatever happens!

And it has arrived safely here in Maine. Working on plans for its future deployment.

Yup, yup. My first thought.

K-Roy, I have my OEM regulator that was giving me the intermittent high voltage issue. If I could repair it, it would be nice to have a spare. If you have time/desire to do the write-up, I'd be interested. Dennis

I did the middle rear plug method when I switched to Redline heavy. Gave it plenty of time to settle but still ended up puking starwberry milkshake out the vent in the top plug for months. Still does it a little after spirited rides.

Just a couple weeks ago I found the same situation, oil dripping from everything. What a forking mess. Thank you breather hose. Let go right up front above the 90 degree bend. I assumed the worst but other than the big mess, I feel lucky it wasn't something more serious.

She is a beauty Buzzard. I'm just a few years behind you and share the same feelings. If it weren't for my Guzzi I think I might have given up riding. Good catch on the kill switch. Many happy miles to you. Dennis in Maine.

Shoe Goo, thats funny. The stuff does work good on shoes though, I've used it. Can't imagine why the shock mounts wouldn't be molded in one piece? Thanks guys.
