  1. Around this area people are not capable of driving in snowy conditions . I was on I-24 a couple of years ago near Calvert City and it was snow/slush covered road conditions and tractor/trailers and passenger vehicles were going 65 mph. I got off and travelled secondary roads for 45 miles to get home . Keep in mind not everyone on that road lived here but they drove like they wanted to be embalmed here .
  2. Mmmm . Sorta .
  3. Where I have been on construction equipment , you have to look on the bolt head for markings , 10.8 , 12.9 ,etc. or lines for grade 6 or 8 . There is NO method in the madness.
  4. I have never had a problem checking for Vref using a test light and I've never suffered any problems. Now I use a DVOM when doing delicate things . You do need 12v battery voltage to do any work you need to connect a battery charger or another full size 12v battery.
  5. Hmmmm . Somethin' ain't right ! Do me a favor and put a test light in one of the connectors and see if the (incandescent) regular test light lights up and gives you 5v ref. voltage w/your DVOM . Can you post your bike's wiring diagram on here and let everyone have a look ? That cam sensor should read 5v on one terminal of the connector.
  6. I thought you lived in Texas ?
  7. There was a multitude of choices to listen to and everyone was 180 proof . Undiluted. Now , I wish I had something good to say .
  8. Does this "scanner" give you a live data stream ? For you to have this many codes , I would suspect a wiring problem . How difficult are these sensor connections to reach ? You should disconnect each sensor and get 5v ref. one one side of ea. terminal of each connector. I don't have a wiring diagram on a 2013 Stelvio so IDK how this is wired or color codes for the wires. Also , Phil's ? about spark and fuel injector pulse . Y or N

    bleed tool

    I will have to think about it . I went back to stock clip-ons w/my red frame and had to go back w/a stock length of brake line going down to the tee where the line splits . I had ZERO trouble bleeding the system . do you have the bike on the sidestand and the bars turned all the way to the right ? Are you still using the set-up Phil recommended with the air pressurized cap ? Have you thought of gravity bleeding the system ? Leave the cap off , top the reservoir w/fluid and loosen the l.h. bleeder screw (1/2 turn is plenty) and wait for 10 mins and keep the reservoir full . Watch for bubbles then a steady flow of fluid. tighten the bleed screw and go to the r.h. side and repeat .

    bleed tool

    Just to be certain , you are using DOT 4 fluid ? This is not going to affect anything , I just want to be sure. Back in the early 80s when Ford first started using hydraulic clutches on the F series truck you could spend the day bleeding the system . AND there was no method to rely on to get the job done. .
  11. Naming professions : James Mariner . He is the last of my counsel . He is 90 yrs old and I am not sure he finished High School . This man can explain why one carb is jetted differently than the other on a M/G bike , he can explain steering geometry , anything having to do w/motorcycles . He has owned all brands . His brand of choice : Moto Guzzi . He said one time , every die hard Guzzi owner is some type of craftsman . The owners are an authority on some kind of subject and can/do apply it to their bike. They are not riding a German bike where the owner has his grips installed at his local dealership , has someone else change the oil , etc. There are better motorcycles but Moto Guzzi is bike of choice for a professional .
  12. We don't have that choice. I don't like it any more than you . I prefer 1/4-20 over 6mm-1.0 but I don't have the power to decide . FWIW , I think Canada still has USS and SAE fasteners and everything is built in inch sizes . I went to a Thomas brand equipment school and everything was standard except the (Kubota) powereplant .
  13. Well.......... it depends on how old you are
  14. Did you buy the metric or standard model ? I remember seeing a 3-D printer set-up and ancillary products YEARS ago at a trade show in Louisville and did not appreciate what I was looking at . This stuff was so futuristic it just looked "neat" . I wish I could go back in time and approach that display again . I would look at it differently
