Hm, I had the same basic thing (though I never tried the brake lights thing) on my audiovox, and was told that it was likely corroded/wet connections. And I've not taken the time to look.

First, lets get something out of the way, you say the starter whines but the bike doesn't turn over... Do you mean the starter is running and turning the engine, but the engine is not firing? Or do you mean the starter is making some noise, but the engine is not rotating? If the engine is...

Now I'm confused. I think I forgot what the point of this thread was. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't give it a bigger fuel tank? Or is it that you can lead a horse to a bigger fuel tank, but you can't it off Alex's chest? Wait, I've got it! You can lead a horse to water, but...

That is an amazing picture... Interestingly, numerous people have gotten pictures of wolves, coyotes and bears on their deercams in the last few years. Of course, even with these photos and years of sightings, our local DNR continued to tell us that we didn't have any bears or wolves. Of...

Lets not go down that road...

Well, still waiting on updates, so I'll throw my hat in the ring on the weight/mileage thing. Increasing weight of your vehicle WILL decrease fuel mileage because of increased energy required to accelerate, an increase in rolling resistance of the tires (this can be partially offset by...

I can't find it handy, but I've seen some rear shots that showed the muffler. It appears that although the rear of the muffler is quite 'tall' the actual outlet is fairly small and low, and aimed pretty much straight back, so the exhaust gasses should be heading back and underneath the bags...

Your bike is trying to tell you that you are taking it too easy in the corners. If you go faster, the annoying hum will be replaced with a pleasant screech. And if the tires start to smoke and you smell burning rubber, that just means they're working.

June would be nice, but that particular weekend (4-7) is the AMA Suzuki Superbike doubleheader at Road America.

How much did you lower the bike? I lowered my 07 by 7/8 of an inch with the Kouba Links. Getting it up on the centerstand is a pain, but I honestly don't think it is THAT much harder than it was before--it was a pain before. Heck, older bikes with adjustable rear shocks could have as much...

Wow, I've heard of paintball off of ATVs before, but never off of bikes. That is awesome. Now I have to get back to stashing nuts to make it through the coming winter.

Harbor freight's 40x48 trailer has a shipping weight of 131 lbs. Add on some weight for plywood and a cargo box, you ought to be able to come in at 170ish. (Half a sheet of 1/2 plywood, which is basically what appears to be on this trailer, should weigh about 20 lbs, cargo box...? I dunno, 20...

Perfectly seasoned, though some will prefer a dash of 'That's what she said.' Like switching from the girlfriend to Madonna? Also, the title of this thread can provide another dash of flavor.

It may not be rocket surgery, but I have it on good authority that competence is, in fact, brain science. I remember the fun that I had after rebuilding a DOHC motor, trying to get the dots on the sprockets lined up. It can be a pain to get all 3 marks to line up, especially if you don't get...

45. You've ever said 'Brush it off and throw it back on the grill, it'll be fine.'

Interesting, they say loose wiring on the HARNESS side of the connector... So when they replaced the ignition previously, they got a little rough with the connector and that resulted in loose pins? Either way lets hope this takes care of it. You still might want to build a Brodie relay... If...

That's pretty sweet considering that the crime rate in New Zealand is higher per capita that it is in the US... Of course, I got that data off the internet, so who knows...

If I were going to get a trailer (something I've considered quite a bit!) I would probably get the one with 12 inch wheels, even if I was going to swap out different (wider, possibly larger diameter as well) wheels right off the bat. The reason being, their trailer with the 12 inch wheels comes...

Aren't you supposed to be working on your bike, howie? Man, the best part about your avatar is that the sheep is just starting to cry...

I'm wondering why you have what appears to be a five-lug rim and tire in the front of your bike. Maybe if you take that out, you'll have room for your ballast... :unsure:
