I agree with runnerhiker...the color match maybe the problem. I ordered a set for my 07 RWB early last Spring and they were backordered. The...
Just a little advice from a long term tech...it's best to figure out where the compression is being lost before you tear down. It's a little late...
HH 96...some good suggestions here. Living in MN (where the storage season is long) and working in a shop I've found it's not unusual for a real...
Is the engine turning over like it should now? Battery would appear to be OK after charging. Sounds like it's gas flooded...or it fouled a plug.
Uh oh...think you kinda dissed NCB. Any map is only as good as the time and effort put into it. The downloadable maps work OK...that's not...
The true test of a battery isn't the VDC at rest, but VDC under load. From your description it sounds like your battery is very weak, but there...
So...what was the cause of your low compression? From the looks of the piston tops it doesn't look like it was consuming mass oil. Have you...
There is special tool you need to do that. I'm guessin' that one is a hardened bolt with a 'shaped' end to push on the end of the crank without...
My 07 gets around 35MPG (or even a bit less) with a mix of driving that's a bit heavy on city and short trips. If I run a tank through at normal...
The only way oil can get into the pipes via the engine is through the exhaust port, which should be dry even if you flip the bike on it's side....
A couple years ago I spent the first week of February in sunny LA. When I left mpls international it was snowy (lots of cars in the ditch on the...
Your bike should start fine in the 40's. Now if it were single digits or teens...and you hadn't run your bike for several weeks, that would be...
I wouldn't order a shim kit. You'll get sizes you won't need and probably not enough of the ones you do. SLOVFR sounds like you answered...
Some models seem to be consistent. For example the old DOHC air cooled models always seemed to have tight valves...and a burned valve now and...
Compression test is a good idea. Try a new set of plugs. They can foul easily in cold weather. Go back to the basics. When it's starting...
At my location in central MN it looks like we're gonna get through January without breaking the freezing point (I mean getting above). The roads...
Jay...what is the outside temperature when you're trying to start it?
OUCH!...hate to say it but the time is probably about right. Of course that includes ALL 16K maintainance, which means brake fluid and coolant...
Good idea...sellers always simplify existing problems. They always seem to know what's wrong. The question in my mind is...if you know what's...
Here in MN ALL fuel is oxygenated (alcohol added) unless otherwise marked. Usually...but not always...the super unleaded pumps are marked non...
