    Throttle bodies

    Thanks every one ! If I would have had this much help in high school I wouldn’t have so many dumb questions. I will question my mechanic when I pick my bike up in spring. Now the explanation of why I don’t work on my bike. Back when I was younger laying on my back in a snow bank working on my...

    Throttle bodies

    Was asked by the dealer that works on my ride, why I always inquire about TB syncing, he said that they are pretty much at a fixed position once they are set? I see a lot of talk about how often some of you work on this part of your bike. Now I ride every chance I get ,so I do have over 50K on...

    How hazardous is your job

    I drilled a hole in my lizard once with a 1/8th inch drill bit; I was standing in the can holding it when the pusher walks in. He was laughing so hard I thought he was going to have a heart attack. A week later it went to the safety board and started all over again. Keep you humble when you can...

    If you think beef is good for dinner

    Fluctuating Datal Voltmeter

    I have one installed; it's a shunt that bolts right on the pos terminal. Easy as connecting two bolts. I’ve had it on for two years now; it works ok but very sensitive to the regulators output. With motor off and lights on it will be about neg 18 amps. It’s a test I do just see if ever thing...

    Fluctuating Datal Voltmeter

    Why do you care what the voltage is doing? I would think you would like to know what the amps are doing. Is it pos or neg or charging or not charging? The voltage shouldn't be such a big deal as long as the Datel is pos you should be ok. Just an opinion.

    Am putting it here just because

    This blue screen is getting as worthless as the nightly news. Any body that can have a thousand plus replies is just taking up space in the world and has nothing but crap coming out of his or her worthless mind. It’s great to get a half hour of FJR reading but what you all have done is made it...
