  1. Have you contacted Ram to see if they will sell directly to you ? www.ramclutches.com
  2. Mine was perfect . I loved it ........sold it to buy another one but the deal fell through .
  3. The K-bike was supposed to be THE ultimate replacement for the boxer.....but , there was an uprising , the K was killed and the Oil-head became the replacement.
  4. The affect of petroleum or petroleum distillates on hydraulic brake rubber parts is not good. They will swell .
  5. By the time you get back , the engine oil will destroy the rubber brake part the most , the WD-40 I think will come in second , continuous Brake- Kleen third & the brake fluid last .
  6. ThanX for the input Docc !
  7. I see a Model # 12248 that looks like it might be better for $139.00 . Look at all of them. You might find something at a battery store , motorcycle dealer or automotive parts store too.
  8. I have read this "trick" that involves taking a conventional battery , hooking jumper cables to the AGM or gel cell battery . Allow an hour for them to stabilize , then hook up your battery charger . Turn it to the 2a rate and allow it to charge overnight.
  9. Octane is an additive to prevent pre ignition of the fuel . As long as you are not experiencing spark knock you will be good.
  10. You need to check with your insurance agent about being uninsured . IF , someone steals your vehicle , has a wreck and does property damage the vehicle owner is the responsible party. Why ? Thieves do not usually carry insurance on vehicles they steal and usually have no personal property or a task force of lawyers to help them .
  11. Tell us more about the rear brake mods ?
  12. My toy is a 2004 XC90 T6 AWD 113k. mi. replete with all the need$ and quirk$ of a Volvo
  13. Keep in mind , there will come the day when ( you , motorcycle & stand fall to the ground ) you will say the F word loud enough everyone in a 10 mile radius will know what happened .
  14. You need to do something about your clock .
  15. I have a factory stand and it is an event when I go to put this up ! I have installed a wheel on the handle to where I can move the bike around. Be aware it is difficult to not scratch sacred areas on your bike !
  16. Docc , Footgoose is talking about air getting into the oil intake portion of the lubrication system. Bad for business ! My understanding of the term " cavitaion " is different . Google cavitation to see what you come up with.
  17. You need to leave them alone . What will happen if you remove and inspect these and you find nothing wrong ? You reassemble and do something wrong , these rod bolts are delicate and have been suspect to fail.
  18. Pretty much .........
  19. Jaap , I see a new forum brewing .....
  20. Oh no ! I guess it's confession time . I have a 2004 XC 90 6 cyl. 113k miles. A money pit but I love it.
  21. Hylomar is great stuff if you can find it. Loctite 515 gasket maker is good also . REMEMBER , just enough is all you need. Don't go hog wild with any type of chemicals on gasket surfaces. I do NOT use silicone on any gaskets. After a while , the silicone will allow the gasket to creep and slide out of the mating surfaces .
  22. Check with Euromotoelectrics and see about the rotor tool . When you reassemble do not use silicon except at the bottom corners of the block/cover mating edges.
  23. It is only a matter of taking things off and putting things back together. Be sure to get a rotor removal tool to get the alternator off .
  24. FWIW....eBay has some EBR 1190s for sale . some with 0 miles & some w/less than 1000 miles.
