    Spontaneous Tire fix

    I understand you are talking about emergency repairs on the road. But what about a repair at a shop. Here they don't repair tires, no matter what. I own a 10 bay tire and general repair shop for cars, and when we repair tires, the only way we do it is an internal plug/patch repair, that has...

    E Bay purchase question..

    I've bought many vehicles and motorcycles on Ebay. All you really need to do is your homework. READ THE COMPLETE LISTING. look at the shipping and payment tab carefully. As well, buy from registered dealers only. Then, make sure they actually exist. Use Google Earth etc. to look at the physical...

    electronic cruise control

    I'm installing my 3rd. Murph's kit right now. It definitely gets a lot easier after a couple of installs. All mine were on AE's which created some extra problems as to where to mount the control unit. Combining information from several sources allowed me to install a beautiful custom set-up that...

    Shift code 48 after cruise control install. Now won't go out of neutral.

    Operator error of the wrench. Or should I say fingers. Cyl.#1 injector wasn't fully clipped in. This created a cylinder missfire which of course creates a unstable idle. All being said and done, all good now. On to bike #3 and install a cruise on that. I wish I didn't have any friends!!!LOL...

    Shift code 48 after cruise control install. Now won't go out of neutral.

    That is just the problem. My own bike has a higher idle speed by at least 200 rpm without ever having had any problems. On this bike, I backed off the idle a ton and still it won't behave. I'm taking the tank off right now and see if there is anything I missed when I put it back together. (...

    Shift code 48 after cruise control install. Now won't go out of neutral.

    Just installed my second cruise control on an AE. (Audiovox cc110 vacuum controlled)First time it went perfect. This time after the first test on the centre stand, all was good. Then I put the bike together and wanted to go for a road test. When I hopped on the bike Shift code 48 was present...

    Dealer dropped my 2007 off the lift!

    Don't try and figure out how insurance companies work. Maybe that's why our insurance rates are so high. For you this ended up being a great steal, (oops, deal). "START THE CAR, START THE CAR."

    Dealer dropped my 2007 off the lift!

    Did you have to make a claim on your own insurance company or did the dealer's insurance company cover the claim?

    Schuberth C3 modular helmet (ride tested)...

    Sorry for the confusion. The regular C3 is a lot cheaper there though, or at least it was last year.

    AE Clutch Fluid Bleed...Help

    Never had the slipping issues. What is happening is that now the clutch engagement is a little soft. This is due to air in the system. The air is acting like a cushion and it retards the engagement time. I know vacuuming out the brake fluid is a lot easier than pressure bleeding, but pressure...

    Schuberth C3 modular helmet (ride tested)...

    Here is a link to a company in Germany that I bought my helmet from. When shipping DHL, it gets taken care of by Canada Post and no other taxes are paid. Look at the price Without the VAT. Upon check-out when the system sees that the helmet goes to Canada or the USA, then this tax falls away and...

    Throttle spring tension

    I have the same set-up as you have. Cruise and unwind. Mine works like a charm. There are always slight differences between bikes, so it's too bad it didn't work for you perfectly. All in all, the cruise will certainly help you a tremendoes amount. I used a micro toggle switch as the only input...

    Throttle Body Synch Question - Every 5000 miles?

    I've read the link above last year, bought a 4 tube sync tool and proceded to do the sync. I modified it slightly by adding a load to the engine when doing the sync at hyway speed to mimick cruising. It definitely got rid of any vibration. Nothing like a 4 throttle body engine running in sync at...

    WTB Sargent Seat

    No, I bought it on eBay. I can sell it at very little loss so I'm not too worried about that.

    WTB Sargent Seat

    Currently have Corbin seat and find it sits too low. By all the pictures, a Sargent seat looks more like what I need. I'm 6'-3" tall so I need all the height on the seat possible. If anybody has input into this, that would be great. Maybe someone has any other options. No Russel seat as they...
