Sent you a PM

As Mike said I have one for sale There were no Pics because there were no defects to point out and everyone here knows what a stock seat looks like I will post a pic tonight if you are interested ... I can't do anything about being local to you though ...LOL

Update: I pulled the caliper off of my "parts" bike and did a thorough cleaning and inspection of it I put it on the bike and di a bleed of the system ... The pad were worn pretty good but the new ones had'nt arrived so I put them back on took it out and the system works flawlessly ... 1 finger on the brake lever to stop after that ... almost too sensitive I dont think I havae ever purged the whole system and put new fluid in ... Could that have been part of the problem? anyways Thanks to all of you for your Help and support ... Its nice to know you guys are around when I start turning wrenches on something that I have never tried before .... and it was real nice to have extra parts that I could work on before tearing into my rolling bike ( I guess there is a benefit to wrecking your bike though I dont suggest it )

I know ... Thats why I stopped here first . Sometimes I just need to check myself from doing something stupid ... the first thing I thought was "who makes these " Any recomendations on where to get good price on EBC pads??

After my brake mishap a few days ago I am working on the brake system I figured the rears would be glazed at best after locking up and being smoking hot I found these on Ebay but want opinions before I buy Ebay link

are there any parts needed to do this or just remove take it apart , clean and reassemble?

so do I need to replace the mastercylinder, the one on the clipon? or the rear brake master.. the one by the rear pedal? or can it be fixed .... I am handy at turning a wrench just not good with diagnosis thanks for the info Stan

Riding Home tonight on the expressway and the bike begins to slow , Luckily I was in the right lane and able to get over before she locked totally ... Rear brakes smoking and when I put it up on the center stand the wheel wouldnt turn and the rear pedal was frozen. tried to pry pads apart with a screwdriver , no go, I lifted the front wh eel and tried to turn it but it was dragging too. finally I opened the rear bleeder valve and was able to push the pads off the disk, lifted the front and the wheel turned freely I was able to ride it home using only the front lever ... when I got home I tried the rear lever with it on the center and the rear locked again. anyone have any idea why this happened ? and What I can do to fix it . 97 bird w/100k + miles, fluid in both reseviors...

I was just gonna say " The oil hole is the wrong way" on the thing-a ma-bob great write up Stan .... makes me wanna go home and tear down my spare XX motor

make that 2 I am in the same situation and am looking for a RR for my 97 bird anyone ?

As a recieptient of one of Joes Ex-XX's I can vouch for the quality of his retread XX's But yall already know that

What is the difference between the Fi birds and the 97/98's????

Thanks

Do the R1 R/R's work on the 97/98 bikes or only on the EFI ones??? I just replaced my old one with one from my "parts" bike and want to put a new R/R on and will go the R1 route if it'll work is it a direct swap or will I have to tinker with it ? ... I dont recall all the details

I believe the voltage was 12.5v at arounf 4k revs .... bike was how can I check the alternator/generator or regulator thanks for the link ... I'll print this out and check it tonite

Ok, the fates are against me tryin to make it to NEXXT .... first I gotta put brake pads on the front and now today I go to start her this morning and "womp,wompwomp" no go .... battery reads 11 volts ..... I whip out my "trusty" backup battery , DEAD as a doornail so I needs some help from those who know ....what are the steps to check the charging sys on the bird and how hard is it to replace said parts I still have my wrecked bike for parts and hopefully that'll work

You never have enough time to do it right. but always have enough time to do it twice!! Glad you figured it out

That was me. Tried to remove the carbs from the bike to rejet it but never could get them off. Rocked them for hours on end to no avail. Even tied a rope to them and then to a pulley on the ceiling.... the bike started to pull off the ground and yet the carbs still stayed on. Ended up saying fuck it and was able to do it very carefully without removing them. God forbid I ever need to remove them, it's going to the dealer - because there is no way in hell I can get them off.... Wow .... I havent gone that far but I bet I would have the same results I am going to stop by the parts place and get a feeler gauge and try and slip a blade up in there to break it loose .... I am hoping that if I can get one or two loose the others will rock off easier :icon_wall: the good news is I am pulling these off of my old/wrecked bike to exchange on the one I am riding since they are already jetted ... I hope the other set comes off eaiser than these. I wanna do the swap before NEXXT
