I remember when they were $109 but that was back in the '80s.

A couple of nice bass boats there too. Pretty Rosso for sure.

Speaking of hammers. I used my orange plastic Harbor Fright mallet for the first time. I was mowing the lawn. I tried restarting the mower after gassing it up and pulled the starter cord and the ratchet mechanism pulled out. So I pulled the cord, then smacked the mower with the mallet and the cord engaged, the mower started and the ratchet still works. The timing of the pull and smack was key. $209 Ace Hardware price tag still on it after 4 seasons.

The deal on Ben Harper, I'd never heard of the guy. My wife is a retired English teacher and a student gave her a mix CD(20 years ago?) . It's just great. The CD had "Mama's Girl Friend" and "Rodney King". It was all roots/folks. Later I'd seen his rock and blues stuff. I was just talking to my wife today and said that I can categorize his music in two words. She said what is it? I said, "Ben Harper". I need to get his blues and rock stuff. What a great human being and great musician.

I want Zeppelin

Thanks so much. I'm a Ben Harper fan, Sent a buddy that's a blues fanatic a thumbdrive with music on it and he hand't heard of Ben (!!). So it was great to PM him this video. I'll have to get the record.

That's how I've done it. I prime the jar with new brake fluid since I don't keep old stuff around.

Changing brake fluid is overrated. At least wait until it's dirty. Hey, if you're taking your Spiney to the Isle of Man, don't take a chance. Otherwise, it's nice to do when you change pads, maybe every other time or third time. I am the least mechanically inclined person on the board but I might not be wrong.

Perhaps my fuse is intact because of low current from the regulator? If it was charging when I rode the bike, the fuse would fry?

Let me check all that.

Docc. I check that 30 amp fuse periodically. Typically because the bike won't start. Sometimes it's that nutty kill switch that's just not intuitive. Anyway, my initial question, do I have a charging issue if my battery isn't fully charged after a ride? If so, do I likely have a regulator issue or perhaps an alternator issue? (Or a regulator ground issue?) For sure it's not over charging.

https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/edlguz-voltrect.htm It wasn't purchased here, but if it is the same unit purchased elsewhere, well I see this: USE OF ODYSSEY BATTERY ( DRY CELL DESIGN) AND LITHIUM IRON BATTERY NOT RECOMMENDED OR SUPPORTED FOR WARRANTY Now what?

The regulator was recently replaced. I think it has the Ducati charging system. To my original question, the battery should be fully charged after I ride it?

OK, Now I have another question. I took the Sport out yesterday for a robust ride, maybe 80 miles and a couple of hours. When I put the bike on the charger it was actually down a few fractions of a volt and took an hour or so to get back 13.5+ V. I would expect that alternator should have charged it up, or least kept the charge. Does this mean I have a weak regulator or alternator? BTW- The bike was shifting really well. It's amazing what a new battery charger can do.

Tinus, I would contact Beetle. He will likely have a map for that. You might search here or on Wild Guzzi to contact him. The other possibility might be to get a Power Commander.

The red bracket does look better than that silver. It seemed like a no brainer regarding getting a run of those done once he did the template. And it only makes sense to include the bolts rather than have someone shop around and try to find them.

I brought the paint. I wonder if he gave me a credit on the bill? I financed the whole deal for the plates I guess. At least my bike is still on the road, so are some here and Don's still in business. OK, I'm a generous guy. You red frame guys own me a beer. I'm going to ask for a discount on the Desmo service on the Duc.

I'd like to do some Ozark roads. Shouldn't be lots of traffic. the motel is still open @ $65 a night. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So, even my 4A computerized charger still isn't enough for this battery? Sequences? I need to call Mission Control.

Cancelled as you might guess along with the other bike rallies. not many vacations this year.

I purchased it at Batteries +. I would assume it's an Odyssey. I thought it was odd that it started right up when it's cold but after I rode it, it lost it's cranking power on restart. I'd think the alternator would've done the job. I notice that my Ducati has Yuasa AGM and there appears to be no special instructions to charge it. In fact the Ducati dealer installs pigtails on it's stocked bikes for trickle charging.

That's what my bike did last week. I rode it and then it was too weak to start. Hopefully that 4A battery charger will help.

First, take off the valve cover and run the engine, if no oil stop right away. It should be gushing out. That means it's not the sender but it's oil pressure. Next, check your oil filter. It probably came off. (I have no idea about V7) After that better call Saul.

.004 int and .006 exh loose ain't bad but not that loose
