Re: Loose throttle housing
Every 1500 has that 'slack' in the housing, left and right. So yes, you have to learn to live with it..

Break in dashboard cover repair
Has anybody ever repaired the break succesfully? I had the cover stored for months while the bike was at the paintshop and ofcourse
it fell when i wanted to put it back
It's one of the parts that is NOT made of ABS naturally, that would have been to easy, or is it?.........

Re: URGENT BRAKE PROBLEM
Bleeding 'by the book' is first beed the front and then the back. First the longer line and then the shorter one. Do not attempt to do it together at once......
And speed bleeders are fairly useless if you you have empty brake lines, they only 'work' properly when replacing the fluids.

Re: Thermostat housing cover
Nope, no certain way to turn the housing. 'Just' unscrew the three bolts and lift it off.
That explanation sounds easier than really it is

Re: Fork Caps are Tight

No help needed , apart from a workmate...... So i am a bit surprised that so many people have problems with putting the fork caps off and o...

Re: Side Mirror About to Fall Off - Sol'n ?
My right mirror was ripped off at a crash recently . I repaired it by filling the holes with a MEK/ABS mixture and put the screws back in. A few days later all was
hardened out and since then works flawlessly. Do not over think things please, most of the times the simple solution works best........

Re: new (to me) 2000 gl1500. but had coolant leak?
I had the same thing when i just bought my '94. The hose clamp at the thermostat housing was loose. All it took (after a long time searching) was retightening the clamp............................

Re: epoxy sealant/ adhesive
Iv'e used ABS 'shavings' and MEK in wich the ABS melts and together it forms a ABS glue. This worked very good for my repairs last winter; almost all fixing points of the fairing were cracked or damaged in years of riding bad roads, but all is well now

I think your holes were incorrect, not the M7 bolts that were delivered with the brace. Mine was perfect with the M7 bolts...........

Re: Fuel hatch lock broken
That thought crossedmy mind too, but it's made for boats and outdoor use. Plus, while i'm driving not much water can come in. As a bonus for me, my bike is resting indoors and usually doesn't get wet. When it does i'm on vacation or on a tour with friends who are all afraid of riding in the wet :lol...
