    NZ video

    Nice video's Dangerous, thanks.
  2. Spare shift spring? Did the p/o say if it has been changed yet?
  3. WOW! Welcome Gunner. Nice bike. AND you posted a photo! That's the spirit.
  4. hmmm... call it?
  5. Well said Docc!
  6. something I looked at last year and posted... It got me thinking about a color change. Researching the vin breakdown, every number or letter is accounted for except the 9th. KR is the model (Sport?) and AKR is the variant (LM?) The 9th is described as undefined, or free. It has a range of 0 to 9. Anyone have any idea what that is for? None of the rest are reserved for color. The vin on both my bikes are the same but for the 9th (the LM is a 4 and the Tenni is a 6) and the last five (serial) I would assume one could paint a red one champaign, change it on the title, and no one would be the wiser. A Tenni would be harder to fake but not impossible.
  7. based on my 2 bikes, which no gauges were replaced, the tach fades faster than the spedo.
  8. ok,I will be following this thread!
  9. if yer talking about the offset difference, that is the way it's supposed to be. Right side is set out a bit for the bevel box and shaft.
  10. "I think the exhaust hangers and the rear brake master cylinder cover should be black" and try it with black valve covers... since it's so cheap
  11. Very nice! I couldn't wait. Maybe a window will open for you for a fly-n-ride? It looks like the upper clamp is drilled for standard handlebar risers. That's a nice bonus.
  12. Is there enough meat there to tap for threads and an acorn nut? Also, it appears there is 3-4 mm more height on the monster peg? mmmmmm..... three bond
  13. Welcome Blight. Nice score on the Sport. Looks pretty stock, but the cans. Yer gonna like it! Can't wait to follow the progress. Pretty Honda too.
  14. I think those are hipsters. Millennial's would be taking a selfie.
  15. I wrote a line about the content of character but I thought it was in bad even worse taste. sorry, I don't get it
  16. looks Great uuu. welcome to the forum
  17. shouldn't a motorcycle be judged by the content of it's character, and not the color of it's frame? sorry
  18. It's on the calendar! It'll be down and back on Sunday for me though, and on the Strom. The goose is in pieces and I'm slow with sorting.
  19. front brake switch is notorious for sticking. careful when you pull it apart if you do. pieces will fall out. MGCycle has replacement switches reasonable.
  20. Wow! It's always great to have a tricky problem sorted out. Good job
  21. Done as advised. There was some kind of adhesive in there. It had hardened but removed with acetone/rag/scrub. Only a slight hang up going back in but still easy. 3 shims, no sealant, so the o ring must be the only "seal". Looks like a square o ring? so is the sealant in there factory, and/or is it a good idea to use some on reassembly?
  22. mine's bent. usable but bent. V11 Sport/LM probably any year. I'd look at maybe an aftermarket lowering or adjustable for both sides. thanks
  23. so docc, after reading much on the subject, I can't say with confidence that I know what to do. Left with a couple of questions. My timing sensor IS (tho not sure where) leaking and taking it loose, it does not want to pull out easily, as in, something is catching/dragging. It seems like I can if I pry or pull harder, I just don't know what to expect. Is anything going to fly across the room or am I disturbing timing when I do? Q2. what is the final story on the fix? #112 oil O ring still? While I have you... does the oil pressure switch tend to leak as well?
  24. When you go over the many posts covering the single plate clutch/flywheel, be aware the Ram 6 speed single plate "lightened" clutch is NLA, afaik. But.. the Ram 5 speed clutch will "most likely" work using the unique-to-6 speed parts that you already have in your bike. Note... I say "most likely" because I don't think anyone has actually done it. Research shows it's the same clutch except for the 'hub' and maybe the actuating rod.
  25. I'll have a glass of Champagne with an olive garnish (with pimento)!
