how to save your R/R

Thanks for the photos GLL.
The extra ground wires photos were helpful.

 

it looks like YOU need a tender as your ON LINE instead of riding your BIKE!!!:tongue:
yeah, battery tenders are worth having if your PARKING your bike for a while.
if this thread drives you nuts :crazy: start your own thread about what to do make sure you have pix of your set up and a spot for white wheels..
and whats best to keep them white..will a battery tender zap them clean? or soap and water? brake cleaner? is there a wheels cleaner that works or do you slowly let them get black? then repaint the build up white?
watch out for that canadian bulllmoose!

 

What are you saying aboot white wheels bitch? :crazy:

 

Did that help or hurt the discussion? ound:

 

your right ,, i am clearly stupid.. why else would i be the head tech at a honda shop and a custom bike builder.. whoa is me
and your right, i have forgotten more about batteries than you have learned..and clearly have lost my mind!! i am not the all knowing know it all as much as thought!!
OMG!!!

this thread is for saving your r/r assuming the battery is not dead and the bike is RIDDEN!!
not about a bat tender..
now play with some other thread.

 

White is not a great color (or absence threrof) for the rear wheel on a chain driven bike. It does prompt regular chain tension adjustments. Save for those doods who have used rattlecan white from WalMart that is $.99 a can, the factory paint is tough stuff. For those in WalMart at this very instant and on one of the mobiles and trying to multitask by hiding from a guy with his mobile who wants to immortalize you forever as a "person of WalMart", hop on over to the autmotive section and grab a gallon of the dilutable cleaner. The Wally stuff is good. Cut 100% or for those who still use the Thermal Dynamics instead of the laws of thermodynamics, cutting 100% just means half water and half Wally Joy Juice. Cop a dollar spray bottle to or two. Cleans all that gunky shit right off that rear wheel and brake dust off the front too. Thats two again.. Works on carwheels too,all four if this is to to confusing.

Brake or carb cleaner on any paint is not a great idea. MEK...but not to worry, hightekpencilneck assures us that snorting a little doesn't hurt but just a few synapses.


Now the standoffs.. That R/R sitting on the frame on the exhaust side of several of the "older" VFRs gets hot. The seat shroud is not much help either. A little air space between the R/R and the frame using ceramic standoffs ain't the fix from God but according to at least one of those three laws of themodynamics, it can't hurt.

Damn!! we have come full circle with this multinational zen stuff and ol sillyass Tink can't even spell OM yet..

 

Not really sure how, but there has to be a way the current or past federal administration is responsible for both R/R failures, and white wheels.

 

I know a current pun when I see it!

I don't think the former fed administration was short of white wheels.

 

buy your battery at auto zone.. comes with a replacement warranty where ever you go . as for pay 50 % of the labor charges. yeah, i am that good . go play in the sand .

 

If you want to converse with gll429, and don't have anything nice to say, call him.:lalala:

 

gray wheels on my 92. Original RR and Battery since 92. I run a battery tender when not on the bike. I attribute my success to the gray wheels.

 

Well just wanted to say thanks for the post... before it gets locked

 

It is indeed a comfort to know that even my worst shit gets appreciated by someone

I'm not buying that grey wheel stuff Beta........tell us the real secret. Dry Ice? Force field? Keeping it in an hermetically sealed vault guarded by midgets ?

 

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY shit I allmost pissed myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tink, I know GLL personally, he's a pretty good feller and knows his shit, sevral people on VFRD swear by him and have him work on their bikes. I completely agree with what you said about using a battery tender, it can only help. The original post, however came off kinda like "you don't need all that stinkin nonsense, just use a battery tender". I know that's not what you meant, but whatever.

Greg, I have not had the pleasure of meeting Tink in person and hangin out, etc. but he's a pretty cool easy goin dude too, so chill the fuck out. I think I and everyone else here (well, maybe not BB) know that you were providing great pics and write up of how to build your own kit with a little more work and a lot less money than buying the kit from wiremybike. It is appreciated, Tink just mentioned that a battery tender is a great idea/addition to your original post.

Allright, my mediation is done for the evening, please submit all Butt Hurt forms to KC-10 for further review and/or go to his head shrinkin thread for some mental stability.......................:flame::flame::flame: on guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Metalican youre just no fun.....out:
