Nope, when I downshift I match the rpm's to the gear I downshift to, seems to me if the engine speed isn't changed, the rpm's will not be matched....
If the chain is stretched out really badly it has probably damaged the sprockets enough to cause a new chain to wear out pretty rapidly. How many...
I misread your area the first time as Northwest Iowa. However the offer still stands.
I'm in Platte City, just off I-29 north of the airport in KC, if you guys need a layover at some point.
In my experience changing the front 1 tooth will change your speed about 5-7%, so I imagine changing ratios the way you did will raise your...
I can shoot you some close-up pics of the Sargent backrest if you want. That red beauty with the gorgeous wheels is mine. :party2:
I use a flip-up, have used one since they Shoei introduched their first one. I have a Schuberth now and have an Autocom installed, and the flip-up...
I've repaired tires before, but have always used the mushroom plugs. More of a PIA since you have to remove the tire, but I feel that it's a...
No, not yet, I've got them down there in the garage, but am putting it off so I don't have the bike apart if the weather turns nice. There's been...
Not having access to a good vise, I removed the dampers while the handlebars where still on the bike. I put the weight back on the end, after...
Ditto, the write up for the 6th gen was so much like a 5th that I didn't see enough difference to mention. I followed his write up and it worked...
FWIW I've used nothing but Castrol motor oils in my bikes since I've started riding about 45 years ago. I've never had an oil related problem with...
I disagree with Drewl's advice, in a way. But you don't want to lift anything, that makes it much harder than it needs to be. What you want to do...
Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad that you're okay. Lots of inattentive people out there.
Since it was sponsored by Amsoil it would be surprising only if Amsoil didn't come out on top. IMO.
The 5th gens don't have the V-tek so it isn't as big a deal to do. FWIU the v-tek is a pretty involved project and requires a special tool.
I do my 5th gen according to the service manual. I just did the 30,000 mile check. YMMV.
VFRD forum has a chain and/or sprocket group buy going on. You could check that out: Sprocket Group Buy? - VFRD I'm too slow.
We bought that one used a couple of years ago, it's a 2003 35' Montana Big Sky. New ones run around $60-70,000, but we picked that one up for...
I thought I would try it without rerouting since that looked like a real PIA. It works fine with no tight spots and the throttle snaps back like...
