Do you have the front mounted also? How much is cheap? If you can get a total cost together let us know... I have the Alpina setup on mine. It's tolerable ! Alpina USA has a aluminum wheel (rim) that's 1/2 anodized and 1/2 standard... ooooohh !

Apply the front brakes to see if noise goes away. If it does, look at the front brakes. The full floating rotors click til you apply the brakes. You don't need ANY extra noises on a bike!!!!!!!!!!1

It looks like a one time application with the o-rings having to into the bore and then the barbed retainer holding the fitting in. When you push the new fitting in it passes the portion that is scratched from the retainer of the original fitting.

This ? is after the fact. Why did you do such extensive work to this bike and leave the battery terminals connected?

4 mm thick.......... Tops !

Cut the tire in a cross section to show him what "thin ice" looks like..... Does his vehicle tires look like this ? Probably not............

A fuel terminal sell to all gasoline or fuel retailers. When the hauler/buyer loads at the terminal they use a "credit card" that allows each load to have their blends af addative(s) to be mixed with the particular quantity of fuel being purchased. "JiffyMart" type stores buy & resell the lowest quality / price of fuel with 0 addatives. All of these oxygenated, nitrogen added, no telling how much alchohol added witches' brew we are being sold is incredible. Gasoline has about the same shelf life as milk today. You must use it in about 30 days or it goes stale and or starts eating plastic containers. YUCK....

I buy from ( have a BP card, rebates, etc....) BP exclusively. If I can't find their station I buy name brand fuels only. After talking to a jobber about fuel quality my eyes were opened to different brand names of fuel..

I hope everyone is running PREMIUM fuel with as little alchohol content as possible......If not, don't cry about it. There are addatives in premium fuel that are not in regular fuel.

That is about the way it is with the plastic hose. If you can get the hose back on and clamp it, I would do that. You want to use hi-pressure fuel injection hose on the exterior along with fuel injection hose clamps. They have a piece inside of the clamp that keeps from cutting the hose. They are easily identified. There are European and U.S. variations too. Google the part and see what you come up with. You could eBay the parts and see what is out there.........

If the hole size will accept an 8mm or 11/32" drill bit, go for it ! You will be happier with that. David, take it to a machine shop and ask for their advice first, then their help. You can get a 1/8" npt and 5/16" hose fitting (if that is the correct hose) and use it instead of the flimsy plastic fitting.

Ok...I didn't know the bore diameter of the housing was to where it could be tapped to 1/8'' NPT and a brass fitting installed.

How is the red fitting held into the pump housing?

Memorize Dan's statement. Then bolt the part back on the bike..........

Bend it slooooooowly with heat applied.

Go ahead. What you are doing is o.k.

The way you suppose, propose or guess is correct. The end with the smaller flat is use on the rocker arm because of the pivoting movement going on v the other end remaining on the cam folower (lifter) and doing not mucch besides rotating. When you assemble this and everything on an engine use an assembly lube to prevent a dry-start on engine parts. p.s. You have a good eye for noticing.

Sanitary !

Take one out of the other clamp, go to a Fastenal (or any other) store and get one. Stainless is best. Apply a dry film graphite spray or anti-sieze to the screw on installation.

Oh yeah.... He could polarize things ! We keep up in e-mails. He is a very intelligent person who truly wants to help people with their motorcycles. Now, in the polical arena, he doesn't want you to have to guess how he feels. He is at one end of the spectrum and I am at the other. I respect his views and he does mine.

I will never understand these acts of stupidity. Did the inanimate objects they destroyed cause the game losses ?

I have willingly put $3k + in and on my bike. I can call it my "succubus" if I want. Come to think of it, maybe that is a better word.

It is lso a hologram that says "money pit"... The v11 Sport ( or whatever your bike is) is a decal and the rectangular flag thing is a glued on plastic emblem. You should be able to find it or them here or a member can post a direction for you.... Good luck on your bike !

Oh yeah.... UltraMan has nothing on you then. I picked up my LOADED K100rs in a parking lot driveway like it was a 10 speed bike while stealthily looking to see if anyone saw me tip it over.

Everyone has dropped a bike at less than 10 mph. It hurts you pride more than anything. We were riding to Cape Girardeau,Mo. Sunday afternoon and saw someone get off at a complete stop. It looked hilarious because he looked like a cheerleader doing a cartwheel falling off the bike. We turned around and went back to check on him and he suffered no pain but a bruised ego.
