    Charging issues

    I've used it few times. It's not a fix but help. Will use it again.

    Charging issues

    Has anybody tried electric conductivity paste? Of course it's useless if the connector is charred but maybe prolonging the connector life. Possibly, maybe?

    Rebuild or engine swap?

    Fleabay can be ok. You just need to ask a bunch of questions and decide what you want to believe. I've bought many cars there and never regretted those purchases. Win some, lose some.

    Bimotas were my favorites when growing up. Never had the money to buy one.

    New piston rings only ?

    How many miles on the bike? Did you measure the scratch depth? The gauge itself is not difficult to find from local machine shops unless you live in a... trying to find a good word... area. Sorry.

    Rebuild or engine swap?

    Best way to buy a running engine is to hear it run prior to purchase. If the seller never offers to hear it run, never pay for the premium. I once bought a turbocharged Kawi KX-12 engine abroad. We agreed to terms and price and I drove out to the neighboring country to go pick it up. It was an...

    My Bike

    I've got 18x5,5 in the back with 180 rubber without mods to the fork and 19x3 in the front. Radial tires. Handles very well, predictable, what you would expect.

    Needing advice on how to fix or cover the scratched/Pitting in the Air Intake Covers, 2000 Vmax

    What kind of finish do you want on them? Back to stock?

    Help!. New fuel line is not solid line ?!?

    As long as your fuel pressure is correct it is irrelevant what the material is as long as it's holding and meant for the required pressure level and meant for fuel. Oil hoses won't last very long but aircon hoses do. They are a bitch to hook onto fuel connectors though.

    Checking fork oil level while on bike

    Those seal savers are a waste of time and money. Two choices. One, go with thicker oil and have stiffer front end and hope they won't leak. Two, replace the rubber and go with what you want. You can do it properly only by taking the front end off.

    Gen 3 vmax?

    I have never even recognized that electric 4 door Ford as a Mustang. I think Ford buried Mustang with this move.

    Ticking right front cylinder

    Do a compression test on all cylinders first. Then pull the valve cover and look at the cam lobes and valves. As you already know, these engines don't tolerate over-revving.

    oil temp gauge options

    BMW has been using Can-technology for a long time. That means that there is no separate circuitry behind the gauge.

    oil temp gauge options

    I believe BlueSea Systems has a 1 1/8" gauge. Whether it's analog or not, I cannot remember. I think marine industry might give you solutions.

    Oil Leak from Carb Manifold at Head

    A variation of black RTV silicone. As long as you use silicone resistant to oil you are fine. Use what you can find locally.

    Oil Leak from Carb Manifold at Head

    Ultra Black here too. PTFE is not a good idea with hexes as it increases torque needed therefore easy to round off the bolt head.
