Hi Dave:
I’m at 4 months to be 78, and Just like John sometimes I think about the time to step down. It makes me feel awful!!
It’s sad to hear that someone like is leaving this place.
Good luck in your new mission whichever it’ll be. We’ll miss you.

May I suggest that before you do anything farther, try this simple test: take her out for a ride, let her warm enough until the clutch slips, then pull the clutch lever and reinstalling it, …..did it get back to normal?? If so, you're having a pressure build up due to the bled hole in master cylinde...

I use this gadgets to find a short or heavy loaded circuit; made from two spade terminals, piece of cooper wire, clear epoxy. Inserted in the fuse holder, and the lamp beween the terminals it will show a short sparing fuses.
I hope this helps.

#2 fuses are for horn, Stop RElay, Turn signal relay

I have a set of carbs of a GL1000, and believe Honda uses same bolts in every model. The thing is a hex head bolt with a slot, 5 mm x 25 mm long , the spring is 16 mm long. I would turn (or grind out) the threads for about 2 mm from the end and round it to make a lead, then light glued to a 8mm sock...

Hi DenverWinger: Here is my schematic as I remember the values; as I said there is no way to look at the inners now, and all was done by trial, even the Tr. choice; (will have to do all again from scratch) 20200405_212720.jpg Perhaps it need some more resistors as you did and a work around it. My pl...

The "Low Fuel" light on my 1500 works, but when it comes on it is so dim it can hardly be seen. So I breadboarded up a circuit to detect this and light the bulb brightly. I determined the Low Fuel bulb only sees about 5 volts or so when it comes on... I can draw up and post the comparator circuit i...

Starting on March 10, our president asked us to self contain in home as prevention to the Covid-19, on next week March 16 he issued a decree ordering a full lockdown but health and food supply till March 31st, later extended it to April 12th, also closing all borders. Thanks to those actions so far ...

Hi Scott:
I just suscribed to be #63.
What a lovely voice of your wife.
I wish you get the #100 fast enough.
Kind regards.

Hi Froche: A little search allowed me to find this tech spec in the www.sealanddesign.com site: " Japanese Metric O-Rings (JIS) The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS B 2401) contains three groups; aerospace group, general purpose group, and traditional group. These o-ring sizes are unique to Japan's...

"...like to see your bike and a boat with at least two masts." I live in a desert, and nothing within 500+ km of me that would fit that. I'm sure there are some riders here much closer to water that could grab this next tag. :D Well that could be a Good scuse to take a ride to the wáter... :lol: :l...

Accepted. Argentina's official language is Spanish and the word on the building is a Romanized spelling of the Spanish word municipalidad - municipality. Thank you for accepting the input. You're totally correct, thas the way we call it here. Translators not always gives the right answer. This by n...

Well, lets see if we can get this game rolling again. I got this building in city of Tigre, Buenos Aires, it's the administration office of the city, you may read in the top part of it the legend "MVNICIPALIDAD", which is written in an old times fashion, resembling roman typing. If accepted, I would...

Thank you for the invite, I'm willing to play but unfortunatelly I'm out this time since I ride alone, my wife is terribly scared of bikes.
Will see you in next game.

Hi Ficke: Here is what I use for general electrical check up Short Tester.jpg It's very easy to use, insert the fake fuse (which I made of spade terminals and copper rod) and clip the aligators to terminals, if there is a short the lamp will glow (instead of blowing a fuse), from there start trackin...

It is however, the only place that I have ever seen, selling or advertising, JIS. I now have four sets of JIS screwdrivers and or bits. FYI, recently I received this e-mail from Randakks advertizing US made JIS screwdrivers. https://www.randakks.com/catalog/product/view/id/13514/s/jis-screwdrivers-...

As I've had read in many sites, they state that all japanese bikes have JIS screws. Those are for threaded holes.
Also that Phillips screws were designed to work on sheet metal, where the driver must slip before the screw may overpull and strip the threads.
Those Vessel tools are fantastic!

I'm very sorry about that; I admire most of his posts; prayers for him and his family. RIP.

+ 1 on Ct1500 comment. If it were me, I'll apply some heat to the casing, and using a visegrip (being much secured) try to loosen it; first a little wiggle back and forth.
By being a machinist most of my life I may say that trying to drill it free hand is an impossible mission.

Congrats on the good job that you've done, and nice write up too.
Very interesting and good to keep in mind, just in case ...

Welcome to this nice forum Joel: At your question, it's bettrer to drive for about 1/2 hour to get the oil wamr so it flow better when the drain plug is removed, let it drain and refill with recomended fluid. Per Clymer manual, it's recomended to replace oil every 22.500 Mi./36.000 Km. Find attached...

Back to mishap 1 === Although I didn't know it until I got home about 2 hours later, when I took my helmet off a hearing aid went with it. At least that was the logical time and place for it to have left. We went back to Jack's and searched and searched - these things are LITTLE. Went back with fla...

Conngrats on your brillant hard work, for sure you're leaving a trace!!

It depends how far you stripped it out; by your comment, if no head nor brake light I would say to check first at the ignition key switch, they're powered from the main 30 amp fuse, loose contact there could be the problem.
I'm including a circuit diagram for you.

Ii've gad my rigtht hip replaced May/2017, recovery took about a month and get back on ridding after 3 month, it was winter anyway; and I'm still riding my 1500 with only 76 springs on my account.
