Dave, Last July on the poker run we stopped for lunch and someone used a laser temp sensor to compare case temps at the base of the jugs. Ambient temp was not...
Ken, I am just wondering which cylinder the temps were taken from? The rear is always 10-20 Deg hotter. I am thinking you took the readings rom the rear cyl......
I often feel a sense of uncertainty about comparing temperature readings on different bikes. Especially when using one of the IR temp guns. When you measure...
I will openly admit that the test was unscientific. It is, however a comparison taken from the same spot, under identical riding conditions from 3 bikes with...
Nigel, How are You? Just got back from a nearly 5000 mile 12 state ride on my iron steed. Even got to the last two days of Sturgis.(best time to go for...
This information is extremely useful. You've convinced me to put in the cooler with the fan-assist. I can live with the appearance. My uncle in St Paul, MN...
Hi John, The oil reading taken at the Pressure pump cover is oil that has been used to feed the right main bearing and oil that has flowed down the cam chain...
Thanks Nigel; maybe I'll keep the X and the Wing. I guess a little riding time reacquainting me with the Wing will help me decide. -bj On Mon, 30 Aug 2004...
That's your SECOND most important expense. FIRST is the tranny update! Also use synthetic oil. -bj On Wed, 1 Sep 2004 15:01:53 -0700 (PDT) Dave Johnson...
The fan assisted cooler dropped my temps by thirty degrees, measured by temp guage. The fan turned off will jump the temps nearly thirty dgrees at a long...
Help, I`m going nuts trying to figure this thing out. Started out with a rough idle @ about 850 rpm. I changed spark plugs, no diference. I tried to bend the...
Hi Frank, You can spray the intake seals with carb. cleaner while the scooter is running. If there is a change in the idle the seals are bad. You can check...
(1.) A couple weeks ago I posted a message about fixing a rough idle that I had blamed on my IAC, which simply turned out to be a massive vacuum leak from one...
I used $4.76 worth of parts [ 2 harley intake manifold gaskets] seems to have done the trick. While everything was apart, I took the IAC valve out and cleaned...
I have a V-max engine/tranny - are 4th & 5th the same as what is in the EH or is the ratio etc different? It's my understanding they will fit. Norm Kokes ...
The V-Max has closer gear ratios, i.e: fourth and fifth are shorter. I'd go for it and get better gear spacing, but the 30 tooth sprocket will help you off...
Totally pissed, replaced intake manifold gaskets, replaced again with black silicon, still won`t idle. Think I have a burnt valve or two. I`ll sell this beast...
Frank, I think (I.M.O.H.O) you need to think about selling this bike. I totaly understand your dissapointment. Leave it alone for a few days, get your emotions...
I'd love to buy the bike myself but Nigel is right - how many brand out there are referred to by number? Indian may have a more recognizable name but it's...
Hi Frank, Kick back and chill. Take the heads off and take a look. If you need head work done I can get it done for you in Tucson. So far Tucson cylinder...
Howdy , I made up a luggage rack out of some scrap stainless. Posted some pics in the photo section. Should look even better buffed up some more. God Bless,...
