Well those reading are in the good range. --- maybe just ride it awhile......Do you have a voltmeter on the bike to watch voltage trends of what...
Hey Zoom -- Thanks for the info. I am a polish tryout addict. On the Valkyrie, there is always something to work on.
Just a quick note for a data point. I'm on my 3rd season for the Compufire and it still is running fine even with quite regular trips to redline.
+1 for a metal polish. Mothers is very good and so is Meguiars products. - No sanding or steel wool....
No - you need to do the tests while hot. That will point to either/or... Stator or R/R - Thats why "the drill" has -- repeat hot............ my...
I dont trust those strait LED voltage monitors because the cutoff for "green" is in the high 12v area. Thats fine for idle, but its in the...
Dude, I'm serious, replace the stock bleeder with the speed bleeder part. Its a check valve so that it doesnt let air in when you pump the master...
Replace the stock bleed valve with a speed bleeder - use a SB8125L. --- Life will be much easier. [IMG]
Another tip on that is use a JIS standard screw driver as opposed to a Philips. The shape of the tip is different and may be the difference...
I think Billy nailed it. Quite often if brakes are dragging, gunk in the master cylinder is blocking return flow so the caliper pistons can "back...
I'm not sure I would agree with with Honda's Engineer. I read that and kinda scratched my head. More spokes would be stiffer than a wheel with...
That would be correct. Design engineering wise its a tough assignment. But on the front typically an F4i wheel will fit. Again I would double...
If you know you're gonna shit can the chain, just grab a cutoff wheel and cut thru a set of side plates on the the bottom loop of the chain. 30...
Well dude, you answered your own question. You're lugging the engine. Best advise is DONT DO THAT!. (I have the same bike.)
My head bearings rattle constantly. Sometimes its hard to figure which way is up. The only fix is 4 or 5 bottles of Beck's Dark. :eek-new:
I'm all for calling the 2014 800s 7th gens. The other side of the fence seems to be stuck on 8th gen. :sour:
Dont miss Crystal Lake and Redwoods to the west!:cool:
You didnt say anything about mileage, but you have a '98 5th gen, which is notorious for eating electrics. Do a charging system check soon. -...
Idle voltage numbers are the least of your worries on the stator. 15 - 20ish volts is ok, and not a reason to replace the stator. The important...
Dude - There are 3 legs of a stator and 3 different tests. So --- you will get 9 total tested readings ---- A to B, B to C, and C to A What are...
