[cct disection]

Correction.

The x11 shoulder is so small that a washer is going to be nothing left, and hard to make. That is what I was trying to say. The (instead of he) others you could make the washer.

But, the force on the wire of the spring is what is gouging the surface that the screw is supposed to contact. It makes the screw not turn, because of the gouge. This is also a pivoting point. This causes everything to chatter, the threads, the sleeve, the spring, the barrel, and the pin holding the end. I see the pin has opened the hole side to side, not in line with the force. Taking the pivot point out by cutting the slot for the wire to be below the surface transfers the load to the screw ledge and lines everything else in the direction of force. Then the screw threads align all the way down, the end forces against the screw and the pen that holds it in has no load on it.

I am wondering if the most of the noise might not be coming from the rattle of the cct.

The pictures of the old cct inside of the body that the spring was marking sure did not come out at all. It is a focus thing. Going to have to come up with a way to show that. Gotta be a lot of noise from that as it was really marked enough to feel it.

Thanks, Hobi, will give me some more to shoot better. Going to have to set the tripod and use the timer to get my movements out of the pictures, and some lighting.

It is such a simple mod, and really requires no skill, but, I will be glad to do it for anybody that wants to have it done.

Got an old one, send it and I will.

I really think that is all there is to it.

You got the Mrs. to type that, didn't you?

[grips]

I tried the bmw grips they were ok recently went with kuryakan iso grips which I have on my HD and goldwing.

If Kuryakyn would sell a set before they were chromed, I'd be all over that. They're by far the most comfortable grips I've ever used.

[Rear Brake Drag]

I'm currently wrestling with dragging rear brake pads on my ZXXX (XX rear master cylinder, ZX rear caliper). My next step is rebuild kits for both, and see where that leaves me.

[WTB 99 and up Tail Light Assembly]

I also might have a red. Let me look.

[1999 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird]

If people post shit that potentially devalues a member's item for sale, they'll usually hear about it- ask Skull if you think I'm just picking on you.

Ha. Tru dat, yo.

[WTB Set of 1100XX Forks and nose cowl bracket]

I have a complete '02 front fork set and triple-tree I can let go. Send me a PM.

[Front Brake Caliper ?]

Unfortunately due to my living situation, my XX has to sit outside.

Don't you have a living room?

[FS/FT 97 ST1100 ABS]

That seemed ambiguous to me.

And that's why I called you a stupid cunt.

[FS/FT 97 ST1100 ABS]

Kinda like when I groan "No one tosses my salad like you, Alan."

Hobi and I can never figure out why you always shout my name when it's him doing it, but, whatever. I'll take any recognition I can get, at this point.

[FS/FT 97 ST1100 ABS]

oooooooooooooooooh. He used the CUNT word!

BAN HIM!

Yes, that was perhaps harsh, but it has such a nice ring to it.

[FS/FT 97 ST1100 ABS]

When you say "trade," it'd be nice to have an idea of what you're open to trade for. I can get you two large sack of crabgrass, but I suspect that's not going to be something you can use.

You stupid cunt, he wants to trade his '97 ST for an XX because he misses his '97 XX. How did you not figure this out?

[FS/FT 97 ST1100 ABS]

This is the 97 you originally had or another one?

You say "trade"....do you mean sell or are you trying to trade for something else?

The Force is not strong with this one.

[One of the Most Overlooked Blackbird Part]

Has it got more than 147 hp?

Harsh!

[GL1500 help - vibration diag and fix]

Yes and no.... I used a red flavored, hi-pressure grease, but not moly. Was this possibly an "oops, my bad" moment?

Molybdenum is best. What did they look like? The splines are where all of the Valkyries eat their drivetrain over time, mostly because most dealers don't even bother to check them. I'd look at the cush drive, as well. The little rubber bumpers dry and split.

After that, I'd check the u-joint and the output shaft for play. After that...

Look at the rear shocks -- I know a couple folks that bent the shocks and didn't know it. The rubber top shock mount inserts also go bad. Both conditions manifested themselves as weird vibrations.

Most of my off-the-top-of-my-head knowledge about 1500 machines is from Valkyries, but they're not that different.

[GL1500 help - vibration diag and fix]

Did you moly-grease the driveshaft splines?

[Parking Passes for MotoGP Indy]

I remembered wrong. They're $20 each. Three left!

[Parking Passes for MotoGP Indy]

I have four motorcycle parking passes for the Main Gate West (the lot across 16th street from the main gate) that I can't use. I'll let them go for face value ($40 I think) including mailing/shipping. These do not include general admission to the race -- they're just daily parking spots (no overnight parking).

[Did wire loom fix,,now fuel pump will not cycle]

If i short the relay, the pump works. (as mentioned above) Proving its not the wiring from the relay to the pump. Relay is getting voltage...

Short it how? Getting what voltage? A relay has two inputs: the input that activates the switch, and the input that is carried through the switch.

seems pump isn't getting the signal when to turn on/off. That comes from ECU...correct?

Uh. The ECM controls the switch on the relay. That's how it 'signals' the pump.

[Did wire loom fix,,now fuel pump will not cycle]

If you know the pump is good, and you can hear the relay switch when you turn the key, why are you looking at the ECM? Trace backward from the pump until you find the break in the circuit.

[Bearing dust caps]

Any good tricks how to remove them ?.They have not been touched in ,eh,,,,,10+ years.I`d like to check bearings before looong drive.

Just buy new ones, and clean and repack the bearings while you're at it.

[Did wire loom fix,,now fuel pump will not cycle]

Whats my next move?

You know the fuel pump is good, so start tracing backward.

[Clutch slave cylinder compatibility]

Buy one off ebay and give it a try.

[For Sale Two Brothers Slip-ons]

Just received these, they were packaged really well. TOXXIC and Zuus have been great, I wouldnt hesitate to deal with either one of them again.

Thanks Guys!!

I don't know... that TOXXIC guy is kinda dodgy....

["THE PUNISHER"]

That paint scheme would look good on the TurboBird.

On your ZXXX?

Yep.

No need to Punish yourself.

Don't start with me, skinny boy!
