I have had this more than once with car batteries. Crank fine when cold, wouldn't crank when hot, let cool off and it would crank again. When in doubt, throw it out.

Really, Rosie??? I think the 14 is stone ugly but no way I would ever go that low to call it Rosie ugly, man.
-
I don't know if they changed it, but it was bad stuff. I use the Honda stuff.
-
If you know someone who isn't too busy, you can offer them some of the take to do all the work boxing and sending. I did that for someone. BTW-looks like you won't be coming back to the XX again by selling off all your stash.
-
Not that it would make the tire hop but do you always run such low tire pressure on the street?

A dip in power under about 5-6000rpm. ( Orginal Blackbird )

If it is a 97-98, they do have a flat spot about that RPM but not the kind that you could feel in neutral. What year is it? -
I love my little red dot.
-
I remember a guy on here that patched his tire from the outside. :icon_silenced:
-
That is not what he asked.
-
I would think that it might. You could jack up the front from the oil pan and then put the stand under the forks.
-
I have the Dyno Jet on my 97 and it works perfect. Some 98's already have the holes enlarged. You can't tell until you take it apart but it is no big deal, really easy.
-
That is why I said that I replaced mine with Motorcraft wires. Got them from Rock Auto in a couple of days.
-
You don't state the year or motor size but I have a Ranger and was having problems that seemed like yours. It surged under load. Putting new Motorcraft plug wires on fixed it.

Two newb questions regarding exhaust and ignition.
blackhawkxx replied to lastshadowxx's topic in The Garage
Jetting the bike stock or other wise, takes the flat spot out at about 5-K. If you are not looking for more power or noise, maybe you should ride it a while then make the decision about the pipes. I'm not sure you will notice the difference in weight of the pipes. -
97-98 is different from the other years.
-
Not me.
-
I would think that the most telling thing would be taking it for a test ride. Can you do that? Other than that, you just have to look over the bike to see of any signs of it being dropped. Look for any leaks or strange wear patterns on the tires and listen to the motor run.

I have a adjustable one on my 97. It runs well and causes no harm. It surely worked on cars of the past. If yours is a 97-98, I say, go for it. If it is injected, go for the P.C. like Dean said.
-
Did it run right before or did you just buy it?
-
I like the close up photo of the turbo. Looking good.
-
I have always heard that but have also read that it was a old wife's tale. I would error on the side of caution.
-
Yes, they made the rad smaller in 99 and I could never think of why they did it. Sorry, no help.
-
Nice. How much did you sweat prying on the tires?
-
I did replace the R/R on mine before anything happened with a R-1 unit. It gave me some peace of mind about it.
-
I have the integrated and really like it.
