Hey all. I hate electrical problems so I thought I'd cheat and see if anyone here has any thoughts about what I messed up. My headlight only comes on with high beam and instead of flashing the turn signals both come on steady when I try to signal a turn. The taillight/stoplight both function...

I knew you guys would come through... I'll confirm tonight but I think you nailed it.

Finished a carb cleaning/rebuild and I have one lone spring left over. It was in my 'peripheral' jar and not any of the jars for each carb so I don't think it came from anything internal to any one carb. I just noticed on the schematic that there is a spring on the choke shaft for the pair of...

You guys are great - thanks for the quick replies

Morning! I am replacing the left crankcase cover gasket and the old one is pretty crusted on. Just wondering if y'all have any tips for removing it completely. Scrape it off with a sharp knife?

Problem solved - thanks again everyone. Got my R/R from Morley 2 days after ordering it, and everything looks stable after installing it. Last question - I live on the West coast and ride pretty regularly in the rain. Given the location of the R/R I'm just wondering if that could have...

Or maybe I'll just grab THIS since it's such a great price!

Excellent. Thanks a lot for all the help. I'll get in touch with Sean

If that wire isn't my problem is it possible that the R/R unit itself is my problem? Also, so long as I charge the battery at night, are there any problems with running it with the R/R disconnected until I can get a replacement - if that's what I need?

OK good call on the R/R. Here's where I am at. With everything plugged in and the RR disconnected from the footpeg piece, all systems are go. I disconnected the R/R wire, re-attached it to the footpeg piece (with the footpeg piece still detached from the bike frame, plugged the R/R wire back...

Hey guys. Looking for some brainstorming help Bike had a complete electrical shut-down on me yesterday (on a bridge in rush-hour traffic, of course). Battery is reading 12.8v, and as far as I know it has been charging properly (I tested it early in the summer and has just over 14v at 3k rpm)...

Others might correct some of this, but I believe the oil light blinking on is normal, especially if it is a little low to begin with (sounds like it is). The sensor is near the front and your acceleration is sloshing the oil away from it. I also think that neutral being tough to find is...

Alright I'm back up and running. I don't think I have the pilot screws zeroed in just right yet, and I may also have an exhaust leak, because I'm getting some decel popping. It would be worth it to me to ensure that the pilot screws are where they need to be. Am I right in thinking this can...

I have a left over flat washer from the carb assembly. I noticed it on my work bench before I really touched anything so I really don't know where it came from. Any guesses?

Pulled the carbs and two of the A/F screws had the little needle at the end broken right off. The hole they sit in looks clear but do I need to worry about those needles still being in the carb body somewhere? I used compressed air to clear of the PAJ1 and PAJ2 holes but didn't notice those...

Wow thanks a lot for the feedback - knew I could count on you guys. I'll have some time tonight and tomorrow to spend on it so I'll keep ya posted on how it goes. Should have thought about that crankcase breather hose - of course that's where the air box oil would have come from. I'm running...

Hey guys Been a while since I've been active on the forum - I moved and have been busy with other stuff, but I still check up on what's going on once in a while. Anyway, my bike started running like sh*t a week or two ago and I could use some advice. I'm actually looking into what it would...

0823 here. She has new pipes and cosmetic mod's but AFAIK the engine hasn't been touched. Odometer reads 18k miles but I'm pretty sure she's got more than that (only owned it for 3 years). Runs strong ;)

Thanks a lot for the responses. Footnote you seem to be the closest to the border, so I might just take you up on it. I got the title in had - not stolen ;). I'll send you a PM with my phone number once I know exactly when I need to fly out.
