You might be really angry when I suggest you buy a Honda powered hyd pump and give up on the Gen-set. Battery powered tools for any application.

Joe, I been drinking tonight and you may be very unhappy with what I am about to tell you. Carlos has provided you with a PDF file. You need to look on pg 6-16 dwg# 611-1143 rev C This shows how it should have come from the factory. This shows that it did have DC voltage for excitation and charge voltage. I have an Onan 4.0 and it charges the battery. Bummer for you. The previous owner gave up on the generator and cut the wires. Makeshift drive to the hyd pump. I was wrong and missed your second post showing the caveman belt drive. That is why I suggested earlier to concentrate on the generator. So sorry. Fly me out there and I can fix it for you.

Phillip, I can't explain it but that is just the coolest fukn bike. Not the best of anything but cool.

I have never been close to a Moto Guzzi yet I am drawn to and respect them. I hope you complete this quest. I understand.

I'm curious, what all is being powered by the 120vac generator? Have you checked the DC charge voltage at the generator? I don't have a clear picture of the parallel battery switching/isolation tom foolery going on. imo, you should verify that the Onan can stand alone and then introduce battery switching backup in emergency. The hyd pump is probably just an engine starter motor driving a hydraulic pump. Draws a hellava lot of current. I am not surprised it drains down batteries even in parallel.

Joe, I'll take some pics and put together some info. We can let this thread die.

IIRC, you rode the 954 when you were here?

The 954 has been a really good bike. I am going to miss it.

The BMW sold. It was a painful thrill to ride. Your ass cheeks would ache trying to hang on and your face cheeks would ache from the grin. Next up Honda 954 RR.

I have seen something that resembles that in a small scale water filtration plant to filter out heavy metals before the process water is allowed to enter the storm drains. PH levels also monitored and corrected before the waste water enters the press. The pressure gauges to see the filter saturation level. Te screw clamp for quick easy access to scrape the filter plates. Im just guessing.

Carlos, you have been tricked by a Gun Master. You must send this holster to Oregon instead.

Jeff and I have not agreed on this gearing choice for 15+ years. I have had an 18T since about 2004. I bought a 16t and didn't like it so I gave it to Jeff some 15 years ago. He said it reminded him of his 954rr. I will admit that I lost a small amount of acceleration. What did I gain? A bike that loafs at 90mph. A speedometer that is on the money. An engine that's not sceaming it's lungs out at 100 or maybe it's just 71mph with the new 16t speedo error? Long winded 2nd gear that goes all the way to a true 105mph. About 20 more miles per tank of gas. It will still do clutchless wheelies in 1st gear. Chains should last longer bending less thru the radius. 18t is the way to go. Jeff, you should buy a 15T. Take off in third from a stop sign and do 4th gear clutch wheelies at 100 indicated or should I say 47 mph?

Phillip, was that 140 mile curve pic taken on Hwy 36? Love that photo?

Congrats for you and Joe. I a curious and just wanted to ask, do you still have Hanks Turbo XX ?

If you want a sit up version of the RR (with 20+hp over the XR and R version), I have what you need. A new never installed ACSchnitzer Superbike handlebar kit. I will be selling this separately. I paid $760 for the kit. It has cables. hoses, fasteners, top triple clamp and shorter brake reseviour. Edit: oops, I feel like an idiot. I paid 760 euros for it. I can't remember the exchange rate 8 years ago. I couldn't find a photo of the kit installed on a Thunder Gray RR.

yes

New tires, 6K mile BMW Service, new battery, Sargent seat, BMW tank bag. Adult owned and ridden. https://eugene.craigslist.org/mcd/d/eugene-2010-bmw-s1000rr-e0230c/7228694824.html

Honda fixed that oiling problem in 1986. ( I made oil bypass kits for the V-fours.) Fwiw, The 1000 Interceptor was my first sport bike. It was a great bike. I ran into a screaming deal on a 1000Ninja and parted with the Interceptor. The Ninja was faster but the Honda was a better daily road bike. I just remembered, they both had 16inch wheels. Buying tires was an adventure. I remember buying a soft set of tires that were totally shot at 2100 miles. Those were the days.

did he buy them?

Congrats

Got this beast on trade today. What do you have that you could possibly trade for this? A first born child, a left nut or a gun collection? True treasure. Did you ride it ? Tell us.

That is one sexy car. Almost makes me spooge right here.

ok thanks
