    Help properly using my new Penske

    MajBach, Your trying to measure something with a yard stick and cut it with an axe and expecting to call it fine furniture! Ok, take a deep breath and plan to start from the beginning. First, as has been mentioned before, your 950# rear shock spring may not be the right size. Take some time...

    RDL is a class act

    Have you considered getting adjustable rear suspension linkage and lowering your bike a half inch or so. Worked for me!

    G-2 floor rolls for garage

    It is the commercial grade thickness that I have. Don't get me wrong, I do like it but it will stretch as I indicated. Overall it's quite an improvement to damaged cement garage floors. And it's super easy to keep clean even in the winter mos. with all the salt and grime that car tires bring...

    G-2 floor rolls for garage

    I have had that on my garage floor for about 4 years now. It's 'ok'. Since it is vinyl it has a tendency to form areas that look like large pockets of air underneath. What is actually happening is the material is stretching under your car tires when you turn the wheels while parking. It also...

    Notes on Diag 31 for Gen1

    That's interesting since I don't even have an 02 sensor (removed when I installed the PC3) and have never had the check engine light or code 31 appear.

    '13 A&S Clutch retrofit?

    On a side note to Fred's post, I have about 3000 miles on my 'slipper' clutch install into my '05 and have noticed the 'slipper' function more noticeable on hard down shifts from say 3rd to 1st then when it was just installed. So perhaps those parts are indeed wearing in as described. I'm glad...

    Well, it finally happened....

    Parasitic draw

    I doubt very very much your sudden problem is due to current draw from the keep alive state of your bikes electronics. And, just because you are seeing a charging voltage of 14 volts doesn't mean your battery is good. All that is telling you is your generator (alternator) and R/R are working...

    Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 fork cartridge kit install!!

    I have been running the AK20 front and Ohlins rear shock for many years now and it's worth every penny!

    How to check R/R voltage on a Gen II?

    I just completed a mod on my '05 related to this. I noticed over the last 4-5 months that the battery voltage being shown on the Datel meter was not what I remember. It was showing about 13.9 volts nominal at start up and after the engine warmed up it would drop to about 13.6 -13.8 volts...

    '13 A&S Clutch retrofit?

    Fred, BTW, I got all my parts from Babbitts on line. Took about 3 weeks to receive all parts in incremental deliveries.

    '13 A&S Clutch retrofit?

    A few things I might add to Fred's comments: I used a small air wrench to remove that 30mm nut on the clutch hub. It worked as planned. I did install a new bearing but since I don't have a press I heated the hub to approx 500 degrees in the oven and chilled the bearing in the freezer to zero...
