OMG

I can still get into the same pants that I got into when I was in collage. It just takes a LOT more money.

Make sure it's from lowa yuasa and not the cheaper uppa yuasa ones.

Would a thermostat switch used for attic fans work?

I assume it will fit a 99. Not that I need it, but I'll take it. It's nice to have a warm butt. After riding the RT 1200 the bird feels tiny.

Food on the go? Here ya go.

If it's icing the coils it's not a lack of refrigerant, it's a cycling problem. Your fridge would do the same if it just kept on cooling. Put a timer in the circuit and it will work, it will ice the coils, shut off, the ice will melt, repeat.

99' bird with 65K so I'm thinking this winter might be time to have a look at valves. I stop at the Honda shop and ask if anyone has adjusted valves on a Blackbird. I get a somewhat blank look and he asks me what brand bike is that. I'm not kidding. Then I find out the oldest guy in the shop was born in 82'. It takes the service manager more than a half hour of looking at books so I leave and have them mail me an estimate, here it is. I can do it myself 'if' I can get shims.

Road condition sucks but I'd go just because it looks beautiful.

Is that the huge thing that sticks out the back?

Makes the case for regular maintenance.

All good advice. The Master is the culprit. So corroded the return bleed needed to drilled out so, tomek is spot on.

Thanks to both. It drives about 30 miles before lock up. I'll pull the master first.
