...ecxcercise.... cardio stuff.

My '97 went tits up @ ~ 24k, killed the battery through overcharging. Roadstercycle replacement still working @ 34k
Hmmm, really.....
Jack's kit supplies new connectors ....
Typo, "Rick's"?
-
Yeah - My stator went when idling in traffic, coming back through a really slow customs, at Sault Ste Marie.
A new auxiliary fan, splices, and connector blocks are a definite possibility in my future.

No, I thought someone just did one - Don't actually recall seeing pictures.
Thanks for the link though. I see I posted in the one you listed BTW.

I've climbed those trails.
They're a challenge alright. It was a few years ago now.
It rained on us all that night and all the next morning as we were packing up.
The trip is legendary in our group.

Could someone please direct me to the auxiliary fan/cooling thread. I looked - quite a while, a couple weeks back - no luck.

I took it to the stealer for service. ...no good time to work on it.
I don't think the FI is a very big draw. I rode most of 4 hours with the headlight "out" and it didn't take much charge off the new battery.

$20 for the manual?

.....What I'm about to say is either due to me being a Gemini or having second thoughts about selling this bike,....
.... As most of you know, this is one of the finest motorcycles ever produced, and it saddens me to sell it even though I can not ride it comfortably for more than a few minutes......

Have you considered raising the bars a bit and getting peg lowering brackets? You'd really be surprised.

I've heard that, but I'm not sure why. The stator/rectifier produce more power than the bike needs and maintains a charge on the battery when running. I'm not sure being in constant "charge mode" hurts the system. It might be that a dead battery can be the result of a faulty stator/rectifier which can under/over-charge the battery and make it go prematurely. Hence why you test them every time you need to get a new battery.
I have not usually checked those items. I will make a mental note though.

Zero - You state they produce more charge than is needed. I'm interested in a heavy duty stator. ...more from the standpoint that I want something able to take a tidge more heat.

Bring these forward.

It is my understanding that a dying battery can take out a stator/regulator. Does anyone else know of this?
-
...to know is already in another thread.
I just had a beer for breakfast. I'm going to a family get-together on my wife's side of the family later today. I have to go in to work tomorrow to catch up from my trip.
Sometimes it's not about the actual repair.
My family wanted to ride the bikes to the event today. I have some fixing to have enough for everyone.
-
Looks good...but are they laid on dirt or did you put any material between?
Right on the base soil. it's not long term. We're planning on a new driveway once the kids finish college.
If I intended it to last a long time there would have been a few inches of base and plant barrier,

First real ride.
Circumnavigated Lake Superior. I'm very happy.
I got a mild flat spot started in about 1,600 miles. The roads generally lent themselves to even wear I'd say. I got to lean in the corners a lot.
Can't comment on rain performance. It was dry and 75 degrees most of the time.
They make a cool deep thunking sound when they're kicking gravel out of road topping in construction zones BTW.

I forwarded to a friend.

A friend needed to get rid of some old pavers. I borrowed a trailer and brought them home last fall.
This week I went and got an inexpensive Ryobi skill saw that I could trash cutting custom shapes out of a few of the blocks.
My middle son ran the roto-tiller to loosen up the soil a little for leveling and my wife marked off some kind of crop-circle thing for an outline.
We used small wood stakes and string to line up the edges. We removed about 1-1/2" of soil and started laying pavers.
I cut a lot f pavers and that little Ryobi kept going like a trooper.
My son invited a few of his friends over to help. Afterward we had brats on the grill and pasta salad.
It was a fun project, but I was beat.
Junior was pretty proud of the results I think.

Is this what they look like?

What, they knocked it down, broke it, picked it back up, and put it back n the stand?
Bastards.
