STOP. Take a deep breath. Now turn around and walk. Just put one foot in front of the other. The farther away you get, the easier it will become.

Good luck with your ride. Brings back fond memories of my 50cc four years ago. What a ride that was. Not sure if you ever read that ride report. If you've got about 3 hours to spare, check it out HERE. And what ever you do, don't make the mistakes I made along the way. Here's hoping that it's...

Wasn't getting any bites from this forum, unless you count droolers and dreamers. So I put it up on Cycle Trader. Fella called me today. We talked for a long time on the phone. He seems like he wants to buy it. Hoping this goes through. Should know in a week or so as he lives up in New York. Gary

What is wrong with his petcock? Mine was badly clogged but I cleaned it out. Send me a pm Gary

Kinda depends where ya live. I've found the Yammie shop's prices on things like filters and oil to be so outrageous that I decided to get my advice from this forum. Have been enjoying reasonable prices ever since. If it wasn't for this forum, not sure I'd have ever bought an FJR. I learned quite...

Considering your request about the Extreme AGM, you're going to get a replacement free, right? I'd put it in the bike and just keep an eye on it. Best way to do so: do you have a volt meter on the bike? If not, while you're replacing your battery, consider installing a volt meter. It's really...

Was Ross right when he assumed the blinky lights are NOT LEDs? His LED idea might be a big help. Much less amperage. Anyway, again, maybe you should consider getting a deep cycle battery for this second battery. Based on what you described, a Shorai will die in a hurry when subjected to that...

One thing to be careful of is that Shorai's don't like to be discharged below 13.1 resting voltage. Their website says that below this, they need to be recharged. You didn't mention this, so... you might want to hook up a Datel or similar type of voltage meter on both of your batteries to keep...

Last time I asked someone a question like that, she slapped me... OP: good luck with your sale. RDLs are pretty popular around here.

Assuming that the "Plan B" job is the same kind of work that yer doin' now??? I'm thinking that it negatively affects your credit if the new job is not the same exact kind of work you're doing now. Also wondering if your credit is affected if perhaps there's a little time off between jobs. Just...

Oh well. There's another issue, probably bigger than my daughter's weather worries. For some reason the clutch is brutally hard to pull. I put a new clutch cable on it, and re-lubed it recently. I had Honda disassemble the clutch and verify that nothing was wrong. Still no answers. My daughter...

Hey Geezer. I've never actually done this. But it seems easy enough, now that I know HOW... as long as the rubber valve stem is the right length to both be able to depress the stem coming out of the top of the aerosol can... and seal tight against the top of the can at the same time. I...

Dave, Why wouldn't it be? That's a good question. Just something I've never done before and thought I'd err to the side of caution. One describes resizing the rubber air valve to fit the average spray can. This is necessary because the little tube sticking out the top of any aerosol can...

Recently, I grabbed an aerosol can of penetrant and pushed the button only to find that it ran out of air pressure long before the penetrant was gone. I threw it away, wasting perhaps 1/4 of the can. Later on I did a google search for refilling aerosol cans with air and came across a couple...

Yeah, and it finally works again. Had fits with that petcock since the day we bought it. This time around I ran a drill up in there to spin it by hand to get the crud out of the passageway for the fuel. It's flowing nicely now. Also had a blast getting the gas tank clean. Some moron filled it...

Thanks Mike. My daughter used to hide her helmet when she went into Starbucks to study for college. She got bombed with people walking in inquiring about the bike parted outside. Hey Ray, Hope you're right. I've got a lot of money invested in this thing. Originally did all this for my daughter...

I spent the last year and a half rebuilding the top end, carbs and clutch on this beautiful classic Honda for my daughter. However, just before it was completed, she decided to move out to Tacoma, WA. with her hubby. We all agreed that the nasty damp climate was no place to try to store a...

Why do you feel like you need one?

Part of the pricing issue is that the Gen 3's are sooo nice, and because they've reached a couple years old now and can be had for rather low prices. Even new Gen 4 inventory is lagging and driving the prices down. All this puts a sort of pressure on the older used bike market so that older...

Asking 3400.00 for an 06 in central Florida w/44k miles, a few scratches... https://sarasota.craigslist.org/mcy/6083903497.html Gary darksider #44
