docc Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Oh, goody.. I get to learn all about the innards of this rear drive.. without having to do it myself. And this is a return to a long, drawn-out saga . . . nuts Last "inner" seal lasted almost 5 years (~21,000 miles).
docc Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 She gives then she takes... Bummer dude. Back to The Seal Whisperer . . .
docc Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 21K? That sux.. yep. Somethings not right in there. It has a *history* . . .
swooshdave Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 Heated grips recs? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_fid=59262&share_tid=19332&share_pid=220191&url=http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19332-Heated-grips-recs%3F/page__view__findpost__p__220191&share_type=t I pulled the bodywork last night to run the wiring. Good chance to see what it looks under there. A full tank of fuel is heavy! Air filter looked new. Not sure how old the fuel filter is. Replaced the license plate light with an LED. Funny that I had just the right bulb. Put it in backwards the first time and blew #6 fuse. You can tell there weren't an German engineers working at Guzzi by how many things I had to take off just to get to this bulb! And every nut and screw was a different size! I still don't know where to pull auxiliary power from but the wires are back to the trunk now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Scud Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 Alrighty then... time for deep cleaning. I always siphon the gas out of the tank to make it easier to handle. Fuel filter is probably the original. I just replace mine with WIX 33310 - only $11 at auto parts store. How many tools does it take to change a light bulb?
swooshdave Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 How many tools does it take to change a light bulb? Four. Two to get off the inner fender. One to get the light off and a screwdriver to get the lens off. While you don't have to remove the light it makes it a lot easier. Bike is already all back together so no deep cleaning. It wasn't too dirty. Side note: If you turn on the key before remembering to hook up the pressure regulator... it makes a puddle on the floor... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

swooshdave Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I had lunch with my buddy, Mike. He's got a lovely 2014 Thruxton (amongst other bikes...) It was a lovely ride into the countryside. Best to get those rides in because the farmlands are quickly disappearing. Bit of a shocker today, we haven't had a day above 70˚ in 2017 (global warming!) and today it's going to be 80˚ F+. Not use to it! 1
docc Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 How heinous does your riding have to be to get pulled over by a UPS truck?
