How does this work in the rain ?

Hmmm , how did it get apart ? I worked on mine with contact cleaner and working it about 15-30 mins.

I just push buttons until I get what I am looking for .

When I was younger and Ducati did that V-twin thing I thought that was the ugliest thing of all X …...

It will be best to remember the difference and go on .

If someone has screwed the adjuster where the clutch lever pushes the master cylinder piston too far , the clutch will not release after being pumped ?

Beautiful , perfect photography , incredible ,

No , my V-Strom is easy to drop ! I rode to this station up the road ( 2 weeks ago ) to gas up w/non ethanol . Came home , the kickstand retracted , we all went over . After 5 attempts including my pride I had to call a neighbor to pick it up for me . 3 chiro visits later I can walk O.K. now .

IDK if the bike being discussed id a cable or hydraulic set-up . # 1 if it is cable operated you will want slack / clearance , whatever in the lever . Make this adjustment cold and recheck after the engine is normal operating temp . # 2 if it is hydraulic operated YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING . If you "fiddle around" with the wrong stuff , you will create a hydraulic jack . Every time you pull the clutch lever the piston at the clutch release will be extended and not return . You pull the lever more and the piston extends more . This is the way a hydraulic jack works .The difference is there is a bleed screw that allows the pressure to bleed off at the small piston and the jack return to at rest position . If the factory set-up is set correctly , when you pull the lever , the master cylinder will operate the slave cylinder . When you release the master cylinder , the slave cylinder moves back to at rest position and the fluid goes back into the reservoir . If it is misadjusted , the fluid will not go past the piston and keep pressure in the system . This is why NO ONE should be messin' around with the stuff at the lever unless they understand what they are doing . The tech @ the Guzzi dealer , it doesn't sound like he was doing too good. Whew ! I hope I said what I meant ?

Where did you buy the fuse holder ?

In Ky they would have run over you and not stopped . Sad

Schaeffer's stuff is great . We use all their stuff @ work . That place has been around for a million years and they are located in St Louis .

I got mine a long X ago using MG parts . seals and bushings .

That bike looks extremely clean !

They are all part of the emission system . Leave them alone ( for now ) . I will figure them out and let you know how they work .

You need to write a book .

No , it is a ( careful ) easy installation , I posted a long time ago , this is the best money spent on a mod you will never ( well almost ) see .

Uh , the arc of the swingarm is the reason for a two piece driveshaft . When the output shaft , swingarm pivot and the rear axle centerline are parallel , the distance is the greatest .

Hmm . the end ( on the throttle side) has what looks like the barrel lock on SnapOn and Cornwell tool boxes . I don't know what to do now ?

This bar end moves in / out 3/8". I cannot turn the Allen bolt to loosen or tighten anything . I bought these from a "member" of this site . I tried contacting him MULTIPLE times with no response . I will never purchase ANYTHING from this member again . I am trying to buy a used one to cut a apart to see if I can lock the threaded portion so I can remove / repair this situation .

It is unbelievable how much an idiot can do personalizing these bikes ,

At the rear , the driveshaft will rotate 2.9 Xs for every wheel rotation . You can verify rear axle ratio by marking ( with a dot or mark ) on the driveshaft and the rear wheel . Rotate the rear wheel one revolution while counting the driveshaft rotations . If you get 3 driveshaft revolutions for 1 wheel revolution you have 3/1 ratio .

I have a rig like Footgoose's Lincoln that is about 6'' long and bendable . I have NO problem greasing the front joint . I have a bout a dozen adapters to grease just about everything .

Now that's good .
