  2. Important correction, if you please: most forums use "BBCode (for forums)". Ours used to until the last update and now only displays "Direct" where the address starts with "http" and NOT "[img]". I most commonly select "large" size: Clicking on the image opens it larger. Clicking on it again opens it in imgzeit where it can be enlarger further.

  3. Seems she was very sleepy! Once the charge is terminated, it should drop back to 100% (12.84v) in hours. It is very telling how long it takes to fall off to the 85% charge threshold (12.65v). If that is 24-48 hours, repeat the discharge/charge cycle. After a few cycles, it should hold above the 12.65v threshold for 7-10 (or even weeks). You can also follow up with a float charge at 13.5-13.8v for a day or so. Odyssey states that "trickling" at voltages below 13.5v will damage an Odyssey battery. Most of the low amp trickle chargers I've seen are set at 13.15-13.18.

  4. You haven't seen a busy rear axle until you see an early Spot.. It takes two men and a boy just to assemble it.

  5. Getting ready for a ride to the Appalachians in a month and found a weak rear Pirelli GT. They are lasting about 3500 miles for me; right at average for my 30 rear tires. (I get 3 rear : 4 front). Trying to follow my own advice (Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist in FAQ) , I found my Brembo rear pads ready for a change (10,111 miles/ 16.300 km). Inboard more than outboard, which tells me the pistons need cleaned, equalized, pin polished and lubed, and fluid bled. The brake side rear wheel bearing was also played up. Fourth one on that side. Only the third on the drive side, which felt okay, but my trusted friend, Josh, who found the bad bearing says, "Change them both." I believe in this guy! The last bearings were made in China and lasted 1/2 as long as the OEM, Euro-made stuff. I'm trying to source better made bearings. So . . . when that tire needs changed, folks: Wheels Off Maintenance Checklist!

  6. Negatives: #1 (big one) for the main ground to the back of the gearbox, #2 for the fuel/ignition harness, #3 for the secondary harness (lights, start, charge, etc). My other two are for an accessory plug and a GPS. I believe there are those who have grounded their regulator back to the battery (my R/R case is grounded to the timing chest). @bsanorton, can you trace the grounds that travel outside the two factory harnesses? Look to see if there are two ring terminals on the regulator case.

  8. If they are going to produce something *New* there haven't been any sightings around Mandello and that would be a first. There are always shots of new models being road tasted near the factory. Having said that all design and development is probably done at Noale now so maybe people just aren't looking in the right place.....

  11. To the right of each pic (once you have clicked and enlarged it, is a list of three options (below). Click on the "Copy", use the BBCode for a test, and it will provide a web address highlighted in blue. Copy that address (Command + C on Macs) and then paste it into your post (Command + V on Macs) and it should attach.

  13. It appears to be from the film, “Il Profeta” (the prophet?), as shown in this page with the poster...... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mr-kinky-italian-2p-68-art-sexy-ann-1839138386 if you search for the title or posters for the title all sorts of stuff shows up, some with Ann Margaret and some with other nice young ladies, but all with the goofy dude with his goat and rags. Perhaps there was a series of films or shows with this character, an ascetic type, being confronted with sexy young ladies. Like mixing Benny Hill and John the Baptist. I want that poster! Btw, Ms. Margaret is a real-life motorcyclist.

  14. Click top title dated June 18, 2019, for one of the images of the placement of the bearings and spacers on the rear axle. Correct (113+ mm) spacer installed with the damaging (~112mm) spacer on the bench above the axle . . .
