When a cold front meets a dry line, their strength combines and bad stuff happens. Looking at Doppler radar, the heart of the storm is...

Very cool. The article mentioned possible negative effects of the geo-magnetic storms on our technology. Were there any ill-effects...

When you complain to the cashier about the re-arranged layout and your longer walking time and increased pain levels, feel free to add...

R.I.P. another aviation legend.

No, you are not the only one. As we age, changes get harder to remember and that then brings confusion and chaos. Don't ask how I know...

That reminds me, I gotta do valve adjustments on mine too. Plus the MM/FSM calls for valve carbon cleaning every 2,000mi. LOL The bike...

That is awesome. May I ask where you scored the clutch/left hydraulic lever setup? You mentioned fleaBay but I cannot find that one...

Sidecar? Holy smokes! We need pictures. LOTS of pictures! I need to build a sidecar for my cruiser but life has been throwing wrenches...

If your starter solenoid has one side hardwired to ground and the other side is constantly energized with 12V from the M-unit, something...

I finally finally FINALLY got the new clutch cable to replace the one that I tore the ferule off of. It took a week to travel 11 miles...

We got just 2" last night (within about 1 hour), tiny hail (graupel) and naturally lots of lightning and thunder. I saw the...

Cool, thanks for the help. 2.5mm ID / 5mm OD O-ring, gotcha. Now ... what's that in Queen's archaic units for us new continent dwellers? :D

Howdy from Texas and welcome to the forum, Adam! That bike looks pretty darn good for its age! Very nice. Where did the front fender go...

I've had the clutch (master cylinder) break on my car before. Getting her home was not a big problem. If I had to stop, I'd stall her...

True. Internal resistance of a battery is in inverse proportion to its temperature. IOW, the lower the temperature, the higher the...

That is exactly what a battery maintainer is supposed to do. It does not charge constantly. Instead, it checks the voltage periodically...

5T, thank you for the nicely detailed, yet succinct explanation. I am used to the VM22 style jet (and have a few sizes at home) but the...

Perfect, thank you. Plus my adjustment screws were 2 out. While I was searching for the pilot jet size here, I came across 27.5 (for a...

Made only a little bit of progress tonight because I had to fix the A/C this afternoon, that was top priority for the wife. I fixed the...

Oof, not good. If you are measuring the voltage on the actual battery terminals, that would point to a bad battery. I would take it to a...

Having virtually no documentation and no luck finding recommended manufacturer information, I gotta ask the experienced jetting crowd...

Sorry to hear. Does the meter still show 12V when you turn the ignition on? Did you check power present on the downstream side of each...

Checked cam chain tensioner adjustment today, perfect. As Mr. Millyard would say: "just peeh-fekt".

I won't even pretend to understand all the unit's functions but just looking at the page for the upgraded unit (now the "mo-unit"), my...

So I managed to not get distracted with other tasks too much and accomplished what I set out to do (which wasn't much). So the front...

Looking nice. Truck shock boots, that is pretty smart. Haven't thought of that one. I simply searched for the correct size (diameters...

China, Taiwan, somewhere in Asia. Took a while to get here but they fit just right. If you need exact measurements or direct link, I can...

I was wondering how that happens and high suction of cold thick oil is a good explanation. Is that why I've seen people use 10W-40 in...

Warning: teaser. I removed the front forks and put the dust boots/gaiters on them. That, in itself, is not very significant. However...
