That is the water pump weep hole, or "telltale hole" - it's telling you that a seal in your water pump has failed, and instead of contaminate your coolant with engine oil, it's leaking out this hole. You need to now have a read through How to remove and replace your water pump.

Yup, I get that sometimes, too. I think it's whatever you get used to. I know when I was in flight school, flying for hours a day and once in a rare while driving my car, I used to get in my car and feel less than secure because I wasn't tightly strapped in with a a full harness over each shoulder. ...

Keep in mind that an antenna booster is just an amplifier, and it can only amplify a signal that is already there. If the signal is so weak that it is buried in noise, then the noise will be amplified just as much as the signal. You need to make sure your antenna is in good working order, and feedin...

After all the positive feedback about this brace i ordered one too. A bit expensive with the import taxes and all, but hey, you only live once.............

You won't be disappointed.

So...I don't see anyone putting this on when they have floorboard...The bolt holding the front of the floorboard is a long bolt also holding the case guard. Don't see any way to have it and the brace?? Am I missing something? It would depend on the floorboard manufacturer - they fit differently dep...

I see a crack forming in your chin spoiler: Crack.jpg I would sand away the paint on the back side of that, then take a small piece of ABS plastic and glue it in place on the back (where it's not visible) with some ABS cement (or MEK, if you can't find any). That will stop that crack from progressin...

Avon has no such limitation on its warranty: http://www.avonmoto.com/warranty/standard-warranty/ Dunlop however has a huge list of things that void its warranty - including putting wet or dry balancing media (anything except air) into the tire, pulling a trailer, new (or repaired) tires not being "r...

The bike must always be on the center stand when adjusting the suspension.

I wouldn't expect the universal joint to last too long running at such an angle all the time - look at how far down the swingarm is positioned when just at rest. But it's a nice conversion job!

More likely that there is air in the line, and the clutch is not being completely disengaged because of it. And the air is there because it was sucked in after the reservoir was drained. So fix the problem causing the drained reservoir, refill and bleed the clutch system, and I would bet the problem...

I had a Superbrace on my GL1500, and it was good - but not great, particularly when hitting bumps in corners. When I took the Superbrace off and replaced it with a Blackwing brace, it improved 1000%. The wobble was gone, and the unstable front end was transformed into a solid and stable one.

I don't know what a "quad load balancer" is, but if it's just some power resistors, then yes, it will work, and the auto cancel will still function.

I've never tried the microwave, but being that the point is to bake the moisture out of it, I have always used the toaser oven, set to broil. It takes just a few minutes, and works very well. See: How to service your air compressor dessicant

hey everyone, how easy is it to change the sight glass on the master cylinders? I ordered a set from Ebay, but it didn't come with instructions The hardest part is getting the old one out and cleaning the corrosion and mess from the old one. You can press fit the new one but I would use a very smal...

Fram filters, once upon a time, were of excellent quality. Now they are pretty much bottom of the barrel, cheaply made and the worst performing filters available. Spend a couple dollars more and get a decent filter for your bike. Have a read through this: http://www.austincc.edu/wkibbe/oilfilterstud...

I have never come across a 1100 that still had a working turn signal buzzer.

Those lights on the light bar are fairly common, used by a lot of manufacturers. There are LED replacements that you can buy, lens, frame, everything. I put them on my 1100's rail, and they worked great.

Thanks for the quick response Dave. It's no illusion. I've got a couple of pictures it shows up well in, but evidently I don't have enough posts to attach them yet.

There is no limitation on posts to attach pictures.

Nice idea, and definitely the latching relay circuit (for safety). Not only will this help with this problem, it will help with engine wear - it means your crank and pistons won't be absorbing the massive power pulses of ignition without there first being oil pressure lubricating the cylinder walls ...

i've read some threads here about using balancing beads, but no one has mentioned whether or not they will work inside of a tube. what say you?? has anyone tried putting balancing beads inside a tube tire? Yes, they do work in tubes. They state that they will, and I have used them inside tubed tire...

Any experiences (+/-) on riding the Baja? Bucket List trip on the planning board. Idea is down from Nogales to Topolobampo, & then cross the Sea of Cortez to La Paz; then on down around the bottom @ Cabo & then back up the Baja to Tecate, or Mexicalli. Comments & suggestion encouraged? If you read ...

Wingadmin, Are you far enough north to get the lake effect?

Oh yeah, we get lots of lake effect snow - only 10 miles from the lakeshore, so the cold dry wind picks up all the moisture from the lake, then dumps it right on us as snow.

I just bought a 2018 tour model. Have not yet put it up on the centerstand. It looks like there is no good place to grab the bike with your right hand because the new grab handles for the passenger are almost impossible to grab. On my 2015 I did it just like the you tube video said.....and it worke...

A shame. Especially cause it's got a warehouse full of farkles. Farkles are only of value to he who paid for them. My '02 had $4,000 of Kury chrome stuff on it when I bought it, and I got it for $500 below market at a dealership. Local market, not the typical dealer markup prices... other 1800s in ...

Just a stainless steel or powder-coated grate on top would seem to be sufficient to me!
