    electrical issue

    Hey all. I hate electrical problems so I thought I'd cheat and see if anyone here has any thoughts about what I messed up. My headlight only comes on with high beam and instead of flashing the turn signals both come on steady when I try to signal a turn. The taillight/stoplight both function...

    I knew you guys would come through... I'll confirm tonight but I think you nailed it.

    Can you ID this spring?

    Finished a carb cleaning/rebuild and I have one lone spring left over. It was in my 'peripheral' jar and not any of the jars for each carb so I don't think it came from anything internal to any one carb. I just noticed on the schematic that there is a spring on the choke shaft for the pair of...

    gasket removal

    Morning! I am replacing the left crankcase cover gasket and the old one is pretty crusted on. Just wondering if y'all have any tips for removing it completely. Scrape it off with a sharp knife?

    Electrical problem

    Problem solved - thanks again everyone. Got my R/R from Morley 2 days after ordering it, and everything looks stable after installing it. Last question - I live on the West coast and ride pretty regularly in the rain. Given the location of the R/R I'm just wondering if that could have...

    Electrical problem

    If that wire isn't my problem is it possible that the R/R unit itself is my problem? Also, so long as I charge the battery at night, are there any problems with running it with the R/R disconnected until I can get a replacement - if that's what I need?

    Electrical problem

    OK good call on the R/R. Here's where I am at. With everything plugged in and the RR disconnected from the footpeg piece, all systems are go. I disconnected the R/R wire, re-attached it to the footpeg piece (with the footpeg piece still detached from the bike frame, plugged the R/R wire back...

    Electrical problem

    Hey guys. Looking for some brainstorming help Bike had a complete electrical shut-down on me yesterday (on a bridge in rush-hour traffic, of course). Battery is reading 12.8v, and as far as I know it has been charging properly (I tested it early in the summer and has just over 14v at 3k rpm)...

    new to me 05 first ride, looking for some feedback

    Others might correct some of this, but I believe the oil light blinking on is normal, especially if it is a little low to begin with (sounds like it is). The sensor is near the front and your acceleration is sloshing the oil away from it. I also think that neutral being tough to find is...

    Help request - How to Read a Spark Plug

    Alright I'm back up and running. I don't think I have the pilot screws zeroed in just right yet, and I may also have an exhaust leak, because I'm getting some decel popping. It would be worth it to me to ensure that the pilot screws are where they need to be. Am I right in thinking this can...

    Help request - How to Read a Spark Plug

    I have a left over flat washer from the carb assembly. I noticed it on my work bench before I really touched anything so I really don't know where it came from. Any guesses?
