I am a shipping/receiving manager and have been for the past 15 years. DHL sucks monkey dick! They are cheap, but lose shit and destroy product. We had a big account (Disney) that used DHL. They did so for about 6 months. Had more loses and damaged goods then anyother carrier combined.

Many batteries on the same bike? Possible stator or R/R problem? Glad to hear it's all better, hope I'm not making you paranoid. Yep I should explain. I did have a R/R problem and that is why I was going through batteries. Changed it with a new R1 R/R. That I hope is all better now too. Thanks

Well I went out and checked my connections and the one positve cable was loose . Bikey all better now.

Shit, I was afraid of that. On the way home I tried a few things. I could really make it happen if my rpm's dropped below 4000. Will check the install of the battery. Shit. I have went through so many batterys lately.

Ok, first ride of the season this morning and I seem to be having an issue with my speedometer. It seems to work ok and then it will go to zero and back and forth. Almost like when my r/r shit the bed (but all may gauges were doing it then). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken

If you want a Honda one you can get it from Ron Ayers. But I would check and see if the R1 would work on your bike. Someone here might have that answer. Ken

Everything you stated here is what happend to my bike. Now I can't tell you what the problem is (and would never try) but my problem was fixed after I replaced me reg/rec. We took it out and it was a mess. Ken

Yep, replaced mine right around 50,000 miles as well (shit the bed on me at NeXXt). I replaced mine with an R1 unit though. Stayed away from the Honda one this time. Ken

Thanks guys!!!

After some searching here I found this link. http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/about/bikes/...eg_replace.html I must be blind, but I can't find out what year or part# from the R1 I need to order. Can anyone help? Looks fairly easy to do this swap. Ken

Depending on price, I might be as well. Ken

What's Pedro's recommendation? :lmao: :clap:

I am getting right around 40mpg highway. That is running in 6th and just taking it easy. But most of the time I am playing and been getting around 32 - 34. Ken Ps. My bike is a 97.

I concur. They are crap. But last year I was riding in PA and my battery shit the bed. On Sunday afternoon there was nothing around but Wal-Mart. So in goes the Wal-Mart battery. Lasted till the end of the season, but that was it. Ken

I understand replacing springs, but what do you mean by "valving"? Do you mean adding Race Tech vales or something done to the stock fork? Yep, I replaced with Race Tech gold valves. Ken

I concour. I just had my front springs and valves done. Should have done it a long time ago. Ken

I ordered Pilot Roads last week from here. http://www.tireexpress.com/ $219.99 Shipped. Was running the Avon 45/46. Trying the Roads this time. Ken

A day and a half! :shock: Dude, call me next time. I could have had all the body work off for you in no time. Ken

Mac, I think it is 110 links. Ken

Thanks "D"

Got a flat the other day on the way to work. Not a big deal since the tire was getting to the point of needing to be replaced anyways. But my problem is SWmoto is not open this week. Really need a tire. I do have one that has about 2,000 miles on it but I had a flat with that in Canada and took it off when I got home. It stayed up the whole way back last year and did not lose any air, but thought I should replace it. Thinking of putting this tire back on. What is your guys opinions on riding with a plug in the tire? Thanks, Ken

Mine still rattle. Have over 52,000 on the clock with no problem. Ken

Hummm, Does anyone have a answer to this? I would have thought that the temps would have been higher with the 10W40 over the 15/50. Yeah Ken, It's still early spring and not summer yet :poke: FAG!!!
