You can probably pry up the edge of the cap enough to spray a shot of penetrant in there then try to pull it straight up with a twisting clockwise/counter clockwise motion.

Excellent! Glad I could help. Someday I'm sure you'll return the favor when I come down with a case of "WTF was I thinking?!?!?" 😄

That plastic bracket with the load limit sticker needs to be pried up from the rear and slid back and pushed down in the low position too. Give that a try. After that see how the seat works in the high position. Remove the "blocking plate" in the front under the tank and install the seat...

Are you sure both adjusters are set the same (hi/lo)?

Been mostly said already drain the tank add some fresh fuel clean the air filter install fresh plugs fresh battery change oil and final drive fluid bleed clutch and brake lines with fresh fluids a squirt of ACF-50 or similar in all electrical connections That should get it started and...

OK I'm in South Jersey. Maybe shipping won't be murder. I'll see if I can size up a box, might take 2, and get some sort of estimate. If we agree on a price I might offer to meet you half way to avoid shipping at all. But with the price of gas and tolls these days it may not be worth it.

I have a very clean set with about 11K miles on them. Have tried to sell them before but finding a big enough box and shipping costs squashed any deal. Where in NY are you?

I have no idea. I'm looking for holes in traffic to pick off cars one by one. There were no video games when I was a kid so this is as close as I get .😄

Under the seat is a sticker with date, name and order/seat number. You can write RDL and they will reply with the specifics of the build.

Odd, my FJR speedo is almost spot on, off by 1 MPH at 65. Stock size tires. Good enough for me.

I guess it's not as urgent as originally thought. ;) I hope he got it figured out and grandma is doing well.

Or the used set of brake lines someone offered up?

Start with the easy stuff. At the lever there is a brass bushing. Remove it, check to see if it has worn, if so replace it. Then clean it, grease it and reinstall. When was the last time the clutch fluid was changed out? It's worth doing a bleed with fresh fluid. Also cleaning and...

That's my old shock Skooter. Worked just fine with no problems at all. Only reason I sold it was to upgrade to a Nitron. Hope it serves you well. (y)

Sounds like the shop messed up the install. Now the quandary... take it back to the shop that can't install it properly or take it elsewhere and have to pay again to get it done right.

If I remember right I think I read torque it up to 30, unwind it and then torque it to 15-19. Or you can tighten it while you move the bars lock to lock (front wheel off the ground) until you feel resistance in the bars.

I wouldn't expect a reply any time soon. The OP has been back many times and not addressed either ABS brake thread he started. :rolleyes:

Heating up the bolt allows for expansion and contraction breaking the bond between the bolt and whatever it's screwed into. Google how to loosen a stuck bolt and you'll see it's widely advised.

Uh... nevermind.

You can try heating them up by holding a soldering iron on them for a couple of minutes. Or spray with a quality penetrant ( not WD40) but guard for overspray. Quality tool too.
