Agreed. The Final Drive has a vent (spring loaded plunger at the top of the unit) that will emit a filmy oily residue that coats that area. The rear boot that covers the shaft where it enters the FD is known to collect droppings and eventually weep. That is what your description seems to indicate. A...

Good finish. Let's all go home.

east of I-390 & west of I-81

Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton???? Right?

Adirondacks in the fall is as good as it gets

Utica, Plattsburg, Watertown?

Fresh bump.... no other purpose.

Daryl, I am putting you on the spot! Here are some excerpted posts from the thread about New York and Finger Lakes and the idea for an autumn Bash gathering. Strike while the glow of Harriman is fresh! _______________________________________ Title: Daryl Stamp's Finger Lakes (First Annual) On the Sp...

I am sorry to have missed you this year, Doc. But remarks by others suggest you have accepted the mantle of BB8 Master! Perhaps you and HealthyDoc have a special something for us?

Do the TBS. It's required anyway. Then re-diagnose.

MCoop had an aggravating problem last year with very similar symptoms. Turned out to be Hall Sensor. But not a bad one, simply a poorly installed one with a damaged part on the shaft where it connected to the alternator system. It caused the rotation to be eccentric rather than circular, thus causin...

These things happen. Be safe and sound. There will be other rides...

It was a subpeona that I believed we had quashed! Arrest comes later.

"One pair of clean underwear and two pairs of socks."

One challenge for me - NY state is on my banned list. Unless, Albany makes some substantial changes between now and then, my attendance is questionable.

1. Bike sat a year. Anything can be bad from neglect based on that. Check wiring everywhere. The click indicates either a bad battery (which you appear to have ruled out) or faulty wiring somewhere along the way. Could be the starter is drawing high amps due to dirty parts; could be the alternator i...

Good diagnosis. Good solution. Send the old one to Chibbert, please.

For a known good battery.... this is the order I would check. 1. Wire connections - at each terminal and where the main wires connect at the starter and the frame ground. Also, good high voltage/high cap wires - those are older and could have failed/faded. 2. Starter. The Valeo starter gets that way...

There's a Buddy's BBQ nearby. http://www.buddysbarbq.com/locations.html Swag-- don't anybody go to extra effort. Whatever shows up can be simply organized into a drawing at the get together. Steve, I wear a 34x34 - wanna sell 'em to me? For those arriving early (or later): Arrive, Check-in. There is...

Time for an update! Location. Roads. Local flavor(s). Exact timing.

Getting closer. Who has not paid Vann yet? Well get off your buns and pay up!

SamCam will be in London that week (ash permitting). If you can hook her up with gear, a ride, camping equipment, an International License, and directions I'll send her by.
