A 78 RPM of The Beatles ? One of Doc Pomus . Hmmmm . Many Robert Johnson ! I can't believe people would have saved these .

I am sorry you are letting it go . I hope the sale goes well and you and the buyer are both happy.

You might should ride uphill . For the same reason you take a boat out into the river to try it out . You always go upstream.

You have 5 total of these ? 2 red frame bikes , an 03 RC , an 03 V11 sport and a 04 V11 LeMans ? all at the same time ?

So , you are satisfied and this bike is now running perfectly ?

You own both ?

Mmmm . might as well say , yeah .

I still think you will need to repair the kill switch . Since you have stated toggling the kill switch has helped you to restart , I think you will need to clean / repair the contacts in the switch . Kiwi_Roy has (somewhere on this site) a simplified diagram of this circuit . He has at least three diagrams on this site showing 1 Test Point Layout , Simplified Wiring Diagram , Starting Circuit and I am sure there are more . After you look at these and study them , you will be stunned at his knowledge and ability to put this in block diagram w/footnotes ! I printed these off a long time ago so you will need to find them here or I can take pics and e-mail . I did not go over audiomick"s diagram fully to make sure it is absolutely correct and in order . I am certain it should be. These relays and circuits all interlock so you need to understand what is going on . Last year my ExMark mower died and I worked on that through the winter looking at a factory wiring diagram to find out it was the PTO switch not allowing it to crank . I do not have many good traits . Tenacious is one of them . IDK if it is a good point or a bad point ? I hate to tell you , you are never gonna appreciate this bike until you FULLY understand this bike !

I will have to think about this ......YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THIS SOON !

Have you been able to toggle the switch as this is taking place ? Same results ?

Have you done any more to your bike to diagnose this problem ?

If you ride this today , see how it does as you do a graduated ride , getting a little faster , a little faster , a little faster until it stops . Now , when you say stop : it dies , it slows down , it quits ? You make sure we understand what you are experiencing .

I have know idea how talent happens and how it is born , discovered , nurtured and matures . I just know - it happens !

I thought they had gone under , Googled them and found a website , so I wasn't absolutely sure . Hmmm. I need to be certain before making statements ?

There are available a "test relay" that will plug into the receptacle and it has a toggle switch . You can turn the relay on/off to test the circuit to see if the fuel pump comes on and stays on . with this you can decide if you have a good 12v at the relay and if you have a good 12v going to the fuel pump. I got mine from Snap-On . any good tool truck will have these. I will look out in the shop and take a pic of one and try to show it on here or I can send you a pic to your phone .

explain this staccato drum roll ?

Things happen......

If any of you are located near a hydraulics repair facility , they can hook you up w/the right stuff or offer you some improved products .

It is sometimes called a gasket but you can call it what you want look into the open portion of your filter and it has an o-ring or quad seal fubber that seals the oi; from spraying out . Good quick-lube shops require their employees to examine the filter when they remove it and also look at the mounting surface to make sure nothing is stuck to the block. AFA the reason it sticks , who knows . The "fix" is to examine the mating surface and a smear of oil to the seal on installation. You don'twant to lose an engine just because of this .

The most important inspection you will ever make .

Ohhhhh. This should be called obituary instead of Classifieds .

Make sure the filter wrench you buy works on the filter you are removing and you use the SAME brand oil filter you are installing. The "end" of the filter has to be the same design to work. I know , I have about 10 cup type filter wrenches and no brand has the same "end cap" size/design.

I Googled Shindy last night and saw plenty of choices . M/I is a top notch M/G dealership . I will have to check and see what they have . The Bitubo rebuild sounds good too .

what were you running on the throttle bodies , K & N ?
