When you have this back together , are you using the pinch bolt 10 to clamp the gearchange lever to the 12 shaft of the shift lever ? This is what holds these two components together and should keep them from sliding apart. Also , when you finish this project , you can drill / tap for a grease fitting on the bike frame where this lever pivots and be done w/any future problems.

Are you referring to an actual o-ring or the wave washer ?

Mine was a "mail order" bike. I knew I was gonna love it. I can't even remember how I located it ?

The clamp set-up Phil has looks pretty good . i use a conventional high pressure fuel injection hose clamp that covers the entire circumference of the hose and doesn't let the worm gear "threads" dig into the hose . Also buy a good (long) length of fuel injection hose. It will give pressure rating on the length of hose. Gates is the best , NAPA , then you need to be careful. Anyone else on brand recommendation ? This fuel line on the bike is approximately 20-25 yrs old . Remember this having the tank off. Also , when you have anything off under the tank , make sure nothing is going to touch , rub or damage ANYTHING else when you are going back together. Also , I use a small amount of Sil-Glide when assembling hoses to make them easy to go together and come apart. The two vents under the tank use a tee to make one hose to vent down & out of the way .

Pozidriv has been around for a LONG time . Phillips , Reed & Prince , Pozidriv , Tri-wing and JIS (Japanese Phillips) and maybe more are all modifications of the original Phillips head pattern. The Resistorx , I think is a tamperproof Torx. You see them around bathroom stalls . There is a pin in the center of the Torx "hole" . Oh , things change all the time . A few years ago Torx Plus came out . It looks like a stripped Torx bit. By now IDK if there is something newer or not ? Trust me , they will change something EVERY 5-10 years.

Griso is one of the most righteous bikes of all time

Going back to 1995 . Just get a divorce in Ky. where the ex keeps EVERYTHING . she keeps your childhood pics , mementos , everything. You get your truck and clothes . I was talking to a buddy and he was telling me about he couldn't find his H.S. football uniform when he "left" . She told him later she threw it all out in the backyard ,poured gas on it and burned it. I don't have to tell you , some women in Ky are mean.

I can be philosophical telling someone else to throw stuff away .

There was this disturbed woman that lived in our county and this was when the C.B. radio was at it's zenith . She was using her van to "meet n treat" truck driver's in what seemed like a 7/24 operation. Her handle was "Cotton Candy" and her Chevy van was nicknamed her "wrastle castle" !

I bought these primarily for the nuts. I have pans of standard / metric nuts and I like to go the easy and most accurate way of doing this . I was using bolts to measure thread pitch , etc. of ea. nut

this has both standard/metric. Looks pretty good. I just purchased the style you posted pics of because they are everywhere around here !

All of these older cars reminds me of an interview of Paul McCartney . He was describing Ringo mentioning that he drove a Zephyr Zodiac , as though it were the Batmobile .

No , I ended up buying them at The Co-op Farm Store out here in the next town. They were from $45-70 each. Fastenal sells them and any hardware store can get them for you.

Exactly ! I thought I was being feminine by doing this . After 10 mins , NO way . I had to shop around a couple of weeks to save about $40 on these but they are worth it. BTW , I have accumulated a lot of stuff and I am trying to make sure about the thread sizes . If anyone wants to blow some $ , this is a good investment.

Did these Volvos have an option like Borat was asking about at the Cadillac dealership ?

This is a warning for anyone who uses "torque tables" and torque wrenches . This was 25+ years ago and there were some dumb-dumbs that pulled the threads out of a small block Chevy main caps using the wrong torque value or just didn't know what they were doing or both. Do think about the application , bolt size , thread pitch , fastener material , dry or oiled threads , etc. BE CAREFUL . There are no unnecessary parts on a bike and you don't want anything falling off. With that being said , I can humbly say no one has cross threaded , twisted off , mucked up things any more than I have . I will challenge anyone past , present and future on this claim. I've been sorting bolts / nuts the past couple of weeks and finally bought these two metric / standard thread size boards. I would never buy them because of price and vanity. Now I can't see doing it w/o them.

Amen to that !

You are at the lowest common denominator of music . I bought (25 yrs ago) the box set that had all of his recordings. It took a while to get accustomed to. I do understand how important Robert was/is to all music.

People don't know how to drive them

Does SKF offer sockets for these nuts ? NVM , I found them. They are found under tools. They are hook spanners .

Uhhhh. NO

p6x = the charging system is off or out of circuit until the headlight relay is energized (turned on). Nothing is taking place until the key is turned on. Remember that if you connecting jumper cables or a jump box. Moral of the story ; you will not do any damage as long as the key switch is off. AFA the diodes in the alternator or regulator . These are probably rated to handle 2Xs the normal voltage and or current they will be exposed to . They are probably not going to fail. AFA the warnings. The manufacturer does not like returns so they want to safeguard against them . Disconnect before charging is how you cut this off. also , you stay away from liability. You have no idea who is fooling w/this stuff. The best advice I ever heard was , a buddy was trailering his bikes to Sturgis and the alt. failed on his truck . By the time he got stopped at a hotel the battery was dead. He went to a franchise parts store , they bench tested the alt. and it was bad . The salesman told Phil to charge the battery completely before installing the new alt. because this alt. would "burn up" trying to charge the dead battery. He bought a cheap charger and charged the battery overnight before leaving out the next morning. An alternator is designed (kinda wimpy) to maintain battery voltage . So , if you are jumping allow it to charge a while before cranking . Anyone that has jumped off a dead vehicle you know how loud an alternator gets recharging !

Now , if bullionz will come back on and join the conversation......... we will finish this up .
