  1. I like the word left in place but scribbled out!
  2. Now that's funny !
  3. In my work (heavy eq. mechanic) I have tried to tell the higher ups , there are helicopter pilots and there are helicopter mechanics . You are one or the other PERIOD
  4. If you have the stuff or a buddy has the stuff , Weatherpack or Deutch connectors, these things are the answer to any / all connector issues .
  5. All it has to do is to remain in the air for more than 59 seconds ! This time should accompany a soft landing !
  6. Oh no ! These are the first videos I have watched that I didn't lean in the turns .
  7. It is "possible" that this treatment of electrical tape is the same kind of treatment as cow magnets , clothespins , aluminum foil , etc. that was applied to fuel lines to carb. fuel systems to correct certain problems ! This is a long drawn out procedure but to remove each terminal and crimp the scroll ends of each terminal is the only way to go. Installing the BEST relay possible is the best way to help stop this trouble. The Caig Deoxit , Motorcraft electrical grease , etc. too . I don't go w/Vaseline because of the low melting point. Any electrical parts , go to an aircraft or marine supplier . Waytek is a good vendor.
  8. I bought a reverse bleed system from Motion Pro . This will force fluid back from the slave to the master cylinder . Trust me , this is a deliberate (pronounced - SLOW) and rewarding procedure . I assume you ARE using DOT 4 fluid ? If you are doing this w/o a tool , as it looks in your picture , fill the vent tube of bleed hose with fluid and make a loop before putting the end of the hose down into the full (of fluid) catch bottle.
  9. Sorry This imge is currently unavailable
  10. What , any SnapOn torque wrench has both ft/lb & n/m scales . I have a digital torque wrench and it displays just about everything you could want.
  11. Where do you get these HEL brake lines ?
  12. I asked a buddy of mine "does Harley do anything good" ? He said "they made the best sidestand in the business" !
  13. I think it was this forum I told about CHP going from Harleys to Kawasakis. The Harleys were constantly needing maintenance , valve jobs every few months . The Kawasakis had ZERO maintenance problems . The only thing the Kawasaki would NOT do the Harleys did w/no problem was pushing stalled cars off the interstate. W/the Harleys , if the bumpers matched , you could shove it. The Kawasakis would fold the forks up and bend the frames.
  14. In W Ky, SEMO, So.Il. & NW Tn. I don't think I have ever seen a cycle cop ?
  15. BUT , the Ducati is not an enigma !
  16. Ducatis are beautiful , pricey , expensive and all your friends want to ride it. So are 21 yr. old girls. Their amusement park is ready to go 7-24 and they can get by on 2hrs. sleep. I want one but I don't need one.
  17. I found the Vrroommm bicycle ad but wasn't smart enough or could remember how to put it up here. Also , we would buy the baseball cards , throw away the hard piece of gum and clip the cards to the bike not caring if it were Bob Gibson giving his life for my listening pleasure or anyone else . Also , we learned to tie ballons to the same spot . Not as good but annoying just the same.
  18. Amen to footgoose . The ethanol causing the fuel tank problems . Use straight gasoline only for the best results . The tank sealer is a good help. Removing the air bubbles , read all posts and use your judgement.
  19. This is stupid but it could be poor contacts between the bulb/terminals. At least that was my problem ! When you FIX the conact problem , use your goop of choice to repair the issue . My favorite is Motorcraft electrical grease.
  20. al , can you imagine a "Vrooom motor" sound coming from one of these e-bikes ?
  21. Uhhhh... I can declare this sound will never be confused with noise .
  22. Was that from today's spin ?
