Anybody find any S3 license plate relocator brackets yet? That huge piece of plastic is annoying to look at, and I don't feel like making my own. Luke Sankey ...
My speedo used to work fine all the time. Then, a couple weeks ago on a ride, it stopped working. Simple story so far... But then the other day on the way to...
Most likely the sensor. You should be able to get the speedo into a diagnostic mode to see what it thinks. (the FM should describe how to do this) Sometimes...
I'd trace down the wire to see if it has been rubbed through and is shorting. Jim ... From: Sankey, Luke [mailto:sank@...] Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003...
Nope, but a buddy of mine is working up a prototype carbon fiber unit with internal turn signals for me. I'll post pics when we get it done. I talked to Tad...
I second this one. while locating a good spot to tap the tach signal to do the static timing, I discovered that my speedo wire had been nearly chewed through....
Run a continuity test on the wire when the speedo is not working. Quick and easy and will give you an immediate answer. Then patch it like Wolf says. Jim ......

Hell(p)! My S3 fell on the breadbox and I replaced it but just recently went on a run and the oil tank was somehow pressurized enough to lift the filler plug...
it's possible that the breather is blocked sufficiently that the pressure has backed up into the oiltank. if so, the blockage might be inside the breather...
Wolf, Seems to run plenty cool enough. I live out here in the desert and very rarely ever see stop and go so overheating hasn't been as much trouble for me...
... My thoughts exactly. Too much oil will surely push the cap right out of the oil tank (well, until it hits the seat). The oil should be checked when the ...
Thanks to all... consensus really leans to overfilling. I ran it pretty hard yesterday and checked after warmup and level was a little below halfway (between...

I used one of the Spyke (sp?) breather valves and routed the hose to the ground. Only if the bike has been sitting do I get any oil coming out of it, and it...
Yup, me too. I was using enough to have to add oil 2 times between oil changes. I had the dealer change the umbrella valves under warranty. Just got done and...

Help, I read about the oil plug but i didn't leak any oil. I just had my umbrella valves replaced because i was sucking too much oil into my breather box and...
