    blinkers wiring question

    OK Been studying the wiring diagram, and what Leo said about the blinker wiring. So since I don't have a diagram for the signals, I have to guess. When I took off my seat, my blinkers had two wires. One wired right to another colored wire in the rear end of the harness (hot). Another connected...

    Speedo has the shakes !!

    My tach and speedo do the same, the tach cable is BRAND NEW. Seems they have gotten a bit better past 300 miles, so I am thinking like Sundie, more riding = less wobble. Irritating none the less! Probably check out how things look in the gauges when I pull them to do bulbs.

    blinkers wiring question

    Thanks INXS. Am I blind or is there no turn signals in that diagram? Otherwise that is very helpful, I am tracing things now. Just not sure if the right wires are plugged into the right spots for front signals. I am colorblind, this does not help! And not knowing what color the front...

    What octane gas do you use?

    It'll take a damn long time to do serious damage. Don't get too shaken up. Plus octane ratings are different in different countries. Someone told me once that 87 in the states is like premium overseas. Not sure how much truth there is to that? Something to do with RMS vs something else, lol...

    blinkers wiring question

    Oh, and can anyone link me to the CORRECT wiring diagram, preferably simplified for an 81? I don't know enough about the ignition system/timing etc, I think I have the electronic (transistor) ignition? I don't have anything behind either plate on the top of the motor. So I would like a wiring...

    blinkers wiring question

    Thanks Grinder. I already have a new flasher, friend gave it to me (brand new) for free. I guess now I just need some tips on how to clean nasty connections, and more specifically if the blinkers/dash/indicators etc should all work with the motor OFF and headlight OFF but key ON. Yes? No? Some?

    What octane gas do you use?

    From what I remember, higher octane is not any more 'potent' than low octane. The octane level merely is a resistance level to detonation. Meaning if the motor is designed for it, it will run better with the proper gas. If you have an older car and start to get detonation as the miles go up...

    blinkers wiring question

    Ok I got my new led blinkers mounted. Keep in mind I haven't traced any wiring yet and my blinkers did not work. Wiring on bike looked stock till I got to the rear blinkers. One wire to signal and the other to signal and also grounded to seat mount. Looks botched a bit. Should it only be the two...

    Can I vent?

    Congrats on being better than the average human. Human capacity for 'lending a helping hand' seems to be on average a lot less that yours! My advice, don't let her cause you to lose the bike, the work, etc. I've gone through my share of bikes (6th one now, I am only 27.) It's not worth the...

    Well this is !%#ing great...

    As far as patching that thing, I'm with pete. $24 is not bad for a brand new filter, and as INXS has said, build a guard for it and it will last a longgg time!

    hi

    My 81 cost me $180, and the guy had it running (had to jump it) at his house. Granted, I did just find out my cam chain guide is toast, but, $29 part and a weekend out of my life. That bike seems like it's had some work done, I'd say if he gets it running slap $750 on him, non running check...

    Well this is !%#ing great...

    Amazing! Thanks man! I have bits in the fine filter, which means it went through a hole in the sump filter, through the pump, and then to fine filter. FANTASTIC. lol

    Well this is !%#ing great...

    I think my buddy wants to tear the WHOLE motor down, so... I'll probably get to look at ALL of that :D
