I may be asking a stupid question, but what's the oil temp guage for? Does it serve a practial purpose, or is it an esthetic thing? I commute 100 miles a day in stop and go traffic in temps that exceed 115F in the summer. I've never had any indication that the engine is anywhere near overheating in ...

I guess if you intend to keep the bike and drive it forever it doesn't matter, but I can't help but believe that bastardizing your brake system would reduce the value of the bike 30-40%. I wouldn't buy the bike on a bet (no offense). You might be better off trading for a bike that came equiped the w...

Marku, The hoses you are pointing at are the fuel line hoses. If you follow the hoses a couple of inches towards the gas tank you will come to two 'quick disconnect' fittings that are famous for breaking and leaking. Could it be gasoline that is leaking? If so, just do a search here for quick discon...

I haven't run Seafoam in about 5K miles so that's a good idea. And I really appreciate the folks that are suggesting it needs to be run harder! :twisted: Like I needed and excuse! I just spoke to the local dealership and they said they don't have any idea why that may have happened, but to bring it ...

I checked the valve clearances today and found all of them right were they have been for the last 12K miles: just on the lose side of the specs. I was worried that something might have changed and I had a valve too tight that caused the backfire and would be burning the valves. Nope! The backfire ha...

It Sounded Like a GunShot...
It Sounded Like a GunShot when I was starting my bike today ('04 RR w/30K miles). I looked down and the throttle body on the right hand cyclinder had blown completely loose from the cyclinder. There was about a 1/2" gap between the two! :smt119 I managed to coax the throttle body just slightly ...

And times haven't changed much since then. Using very sophisticated computer software and tons of processing power we can almost predict next weeks weather!

Pop, That was a good idea. I just got back from the garage and I had no trouble dis-connecting and then re-connecting the couplers. If you follow the link to SmallParts on my previous post you'll see that the o-ring is in fact the Buna-n type. I think it's perfectly plausable that they changed the o...
