Looks like you got it right. Yes, check the voltage across the poles of the battery. A cheap VOM from HF will work for this. If you catch it...
Man, that is really strange. That discoloration is coming from heat, and pretty high heat, but the connector looks undamaged. Which seems unlikely...
Can you make a mark on the adjuster to definitely identify the pinch bolt as the culprit? That way if the adjuster slips, you can easily see it....
I love the looks of my red '99, but my oh my, that white is a beauty. Very, very nice.
Longer is better, the sound can still be good, but the volume will be a bit less. No sense annoying everyone. And louder won't make it go any...
No kidding, they'll probably send them in as chew toys, or babies' teething rings.
Temporary hijack: does anybody but me hate those stupid steel weights? I still have a few lead weights, but I sure can't find anymore. Those steel...
^^^^^^Excellent suggestions. Used bikes are an excellent way to get a higher end bike at a more reasonable price. Do a little research on...
Nice to hear that you found the problem. 16,000 miles on tires is waaaay longer than I would have run them. Could have been a real mess, but glad...
I just got back from my ride and was going to make a suggestion: keep your pedal speed high, around 70-80 rpm if you can. Fast is better than...
Okay, works for me.
What have you got against Nebraska? :playful:
The Speedo-healer is great, but you might look into using a bicycle computer if you're cheap, like me. I really needed it when I went to a 45...
Yeah, but he's in Florida, there's only two curves in Florida so the OEM tires will be fine. :chaingun: Just funnin' ya mate.
To be honest, the 1200 did nothing for me styling-wise and I didn't like the feel of it when I sat on it, and I buy a bike for looks as much as...
Yeah, white looks really sharp, but it can be a hassle to keep spotless. I have a white wheel on the FJ and it stays clean about one ride. LOL But...
What do you think of this route for a long day ride:...
Not terribly hard, but it helps to be mechanically inclined. The front wheel/forks have to come off, triple tree, and bearings. Then the new ones...
Loosen the bottom bolt before you loosen the fork caps, make life a lot easier.
Sounds like steering head bearings are gone, or the wheel bearings. My bet would be steering head bearings. Put the bike on the centerstand and...
