I logged more than 500km's on the VFR today - the weather hit a high of 22*C (72*F) and it was sunny. I was on the road for about 7.5 hours. The...
I'm running Micheline Pilot Road 2's on my right now - solid tires so far - can't speak to wear but everyone I talk to that has owned them had...
Too bad you're not in Manitoba - I'd be willing to do them for you in exchange for some company and beer while fixing them for you. :)
If it's your first time doing them, yes they're a PITA ... sync isn't too bad if you have vacuum / mercury gauges, and a good lift table to work...

True dat ... :) He said he has it switched now ... so temperature shouldn't matter if it's turning it on manually.
Yup ... this would be the next thing I'd do. There's not really anything else left - and really, as Red99RC46 pointed out, probably should have...
No real way to test the water pump ... has fins and works or it doesn't. You said you changed the thermostat?
Sweet! I'm just a few hours North of you in Manitoba! (GO JETS GO!!!) :P 10W40 is what you want in your bike ... dino or or semi-synthetic seem...
Holy Crap, Randy! How were your shoulders after a day of riding with a backpack?
If memory serves correctly, yes, you will need to separate the carbs to replace the fuel link o-rings. It's a bit of a PITA holding it all...
