how to save your R/R

tinkerinWstuff .. if your 'go learn it" comment was at me..
go ride your bike.. and then feel how hot the subframe is on the non r/r side..

if you dont like this set up. dont do it.
have a nice night!

 

then feel the same side.. behind the r/r and inch in front of it. the sub frame isnt THAT hot on the 91 to 97

 

your 90 is an early release of the 91. like i said if you have a problem with it dont do it.

 

op2:...................

 

you know what? fuck it just crack open a can of that slick fitty and pour it all over the r/r. ull be riding clean!:biggrin: thats what the 50 stands for. 50 hp and 50 degree drop in r/r temps. i work for honda and they said that this is the only fix all end all cure. they are finallizing the paper work with slick50 right now. talking bout a 50,million gallon recall in the works. anyone who disputes this is wrong.

 

everybody chill the frack out jesus christ.....

Gll is obviously passing on some good information here....even though its been done a hundred times before who cares....IF its not endangering to someones bike, or if you don't happen to like the way he is doing it don't read the thread... don't just cut the guy down....

shit he is excited about his bike and what he has accomplished on it..... I don't remember there having to be a waiting period for posting threads on how to do something.......

tolerance people..... tolerance.....

peace to all,

Crusty

 

Dood! What if it is "endangering" a bike or a person? There was one instance years ago about a guy who had a R/R fail up in Canada. He was raped by a bull moose according to the RCMP. It was horrible.

So did you mod your bike yet or do you still haul it from Santa Barbara to Sacramento to get it fixed?

What if "Gil" is a chica or a gay person or has white wheels?

 

its not my bike, its a customers bike, i am simply sick of everyone bitching about their R/R problems!!!!!!! ITS NOT $#@$ BRAIN SURGERY!!!!
yes, its been around a long time, as stated i have been doing it since 1986... i never see it get posted with PIX..

 

nope not gay, no white wheels, and i know 15 woman who you wish would fix your bike....and its GLL please learn how to read.
and I am on the RIGHT coast..

but bad billy is right, if your tech stupid and your girl gets stolen by a bullmoose like me ,you may want to stick with people inside the white padded rooms.

 

Not sure I am down with this whole "white wheels " thing.....y'all need to watch that shit.

Just sayin'

 

I bet that customer would like to have his bike back. He probably thinks you are going to keep it.

Just for fun you might contact Moto-International in Seattle for a liscense plate frame with "Cogito Ergo Zoom" on it. Moto is a Moto-Guzzi/Aprilia dealership owned by Dave Richardson whose book on Guzzis is a bible. The plate frame was the brainchild of Mark Pfenning who was national sales guy for Avon and until recently was National Sales dude for Triumph USA.

Zoom is a pun as sum would say.

 

what do you mean still? I trailered it one trip... and that waqs because I had the family with me.... do you need to take some meds for your memory Billy? we already went through this once.... thats all... your dismissed

 

Wow! Not only getting freebies work done on your bike but digs and chow for the family too. I am glad to see that it's not all about you.

IMO we should say a prayer for the guy who is still on OTC meds (Preparation H) from his moose encounter.

 

hummm, I think someone needs to brush up on linguistics. Zen is not Japanese, its chinese. It means "none" and refers to calmness of oneself. For me its a metaphore. For you its a joke. what does you name mean billy?

Yes its the net, doesnt mean you have to be an idiot. Thermal dynamics by wiki is a gloss overview. I suggest you pick up a book on power-engineering. 4th class course material is quite intresting. Stand-offs would only work if you replaced the frame with a suitable amount of metal to act as a heatsink. Increasing the surface area of a heatsink increases the thermal flow, not the thermal rate.

I agree wit gll that battery tender will not help the r/r as it is a three phase to dc rectifier (diode pack) and a postive voltage regulator. you can build this device for about $25. It just will not be in a nice package and have the right thermal rate- read will not last long.

Now I will take the time how ever belated to thank GLL429 for the pictures as they are helpfull to the new DIY mechanic. Not everyone is omniscient, posts do get lost, removed, mis-labled.

 

Well, If you say so. IMO, you may have zen and zone linguistically confused.
