Hey, very nice forum you guys have here! It looks like it will be very helpful!
I just put my hands on a 99 with 17000 kms. First time I had tried one of these was when the guy let me take it for a test drive before I bought it. 3 minutes into the ride, I was sold! A major step up from my 85 Intruder...hahaha.
Anyway, I noticed when I was test driving it, the temp guage wasn't working. I asked him about it and he said it worked last summer. He retired the max last summer because his wife didn't like riding on it. I just figured it was a loose connection or the sensor was gone in the rad but I don't see any sensors anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions on how to trouble shoot it? What wires to test or where to find the sensor?
Also, someone before me polished the scoops and now they're hazed over and don't look all that great. I tried Nevrdull on them put it turned the nevrdull black and didn't seem to make much difference. Will the nevrdull eventually pollish them up or is there another route to take? I thought maybe something like a scotchbrite pad but just not as rough..?
Other than that I'm sooo happy I bought one of these...90kms in 1st gear with the vboost kicking in half way is unbelievable..These bikes are unreal!
