15 V 11s . You are a sexual predator or something . I think you have the World Record on bike ownership . You want to give us a little rundown on this ?

There was this boy , Johnny Mariner , he must've been in the 1,000,000 mi. club riding a CT70 in his yard . It had slick (no tread) tires and a Sonic Tune pipe . -
If / when I have one fail , I may look into getting one ?

Would these be worth fooling around with?

My only awareness of non-linear "amounts" is the Richter Scale of earthquake numbers. Living near the New Madrid Fault Line has one advantage .
-
Thank you , I will read these and think about it . Do you know who markets the TPS for the Guzzi system and is it worth installing ? I think Magneti Marelli is the OEM supplier . I am going on memory from when there was a conversation about a different TPS .

This is the first place I found it and I give credit where credit is due . He reminds me of Professor Irwin Corey . I just did not know a pot could be non-linear If you want to straighten out the loose ends, I would be glad to listen .

Well , I have finally given in to two "styles" of TPS for this fuel injection system . There is a linear potentiometer and a logarithmic potentiometer . The linear sensor is in a setup to where 1/4 turn gives you 25% , 3/8 gives you 37.5% of scale ....etc. The logarithmic potentiometer is like a humpback where 1/4 turn may give you 25% but 3/8 may give you 50% of scale . I found this on a Youtube video I subscribe to this guy's channel Chris Boden

I need to read this again . There are a lot of my favorite books that require a reread to find out this book has changed or I have ? -

Hmmm . I like Classical (yes Classical ) when I am concentrating , old stuff any other time , Framptom Comes Alive is probably the best to listen to (IDK why) . After that , anything goes ! -

Ther was this kid I grew up with and he had a 66 model CB160. He rode this a million miles w/absolutely no maintenance . The seat spring broke and he stuffed a pillow up in there to make it tolerable and the handlebars broke and we use a section of galvanized pipe for handlebars . IDK when he finally got off of it , I suppose when he started driving ? AFA Pirsig's bike , I never knew it was a Super Hawk until later in life . I just assumed H-D or a British bike . I now see how he had time for philosophy instead of vocabulary ! -

What do you need to fix the GB ? -
I did the half rubber number in my 87 and did a bunch of whittlin' on my black frame bike . Stopped because I could tell no difference . I do think running 1/2 the amount of rubbers would weaken the system and cause you problems in the long run. If they made softer rubber pucks , I think I would go for some BUT they don't so I will find something more important to worry about.

A little sparkle of serenity in our ruthless world!

I hope she keeps this young optimism . I wonder if The Beatles are popular w/all ages there? You wonder what they listen to because you can find out people's feelings in their taste in music . I'm not sure if that was mayo or what she was putting on those burgers but you got your money's worth ! -
I was around one and one only . Orange w/just enough parts on it to run. Flat plane crankshaft triple and it was bad to the bone ! It looked like the one in the upper photo . I gave my buddy bad advice and told him he should get rid of it , parts would be scarce . I wish I had kept my mouth shut .

What caused you to post this ? I went back and read EVERY post in this thread . I realize how many members are no longer "involved" and how much "we" have all changed and not changed. p.s. if you want to keep someone from reading a book , just recommend it. -
I hate to be ex post facto but I hope you ran a tap through those holes before putting it back together ?

I did the same on some rear view mirrors on motorcycles LAST year !

Errrr. It is like an airplane , there are no spare parts.

You have problems dealing w/educated FOOLS that can think only as far as their notebook can direct them . Tell the insurance you found one for $2500 . They will probably go for it .

fuel pump and filter Resurrection of 2004 Ballabio
gstallons replied to LangleyMalc's topic in 24/7 V11
PLEASE run straight gasoline (no E-15 or anything like that ! Pricey , yes . Troubles , no. If you do this you may not have to coat the interior of the tank . While you have the tank off , remove everything so the tank can breathe and get all of the vapors out and get back into it's original shape . I assume your bike has an in-tank pump ? -
is KTM going to the gallows?

The first indicator is "their accent" on the telephone . they have become slick and have someone at the desk that can speak in "American" English and w/European descent.
