You mean those legalized pyramid schemes?

I know, I was poking the bear. You, riding the proper colour, should be the first to realize that everything is faster in Silver. You have to get up this way again, Bob, I'd be happy to show you around.

Elephant Lake Road is good. Peterson will be good after the cage traffic has had a year to pound down the arrowheads.

Looks like you guys had a good day. Who's riding that slow-looking red one with the helmet hanging off the mirror? :evil4:

Well, unless you add a lot of salt to it, Smart Cars make a very bitter soup.

Peterson Road has been resurfaced in tar and chip, using what appears to be 5/8" chipped flint :snorting:. It is solid but extremely granular and, while grip is still available, cornering feel makes your jiggly bits crawl up pretty far at higher lean angles.

Hey dood, you gots to clear some PM's - yo mailbox be full.

I was through about three weeks ago and it was a mess.

That was what I was looking for. I haven't been able to find a schematic. Thanks.

You know this for certain? I have one for my XX but have been hesitant to install it as nobody was able to answer that question with any certainty and I was worried about high transient voltages in the alternator windings.

To the dude southbound on Elephant Lake Road today on some kind of motard: thanks for the laugh - that was the most enthusiastic wave I have ever received. I hope you had a great ride.

Kinda tough to answer that question without any more information. May I ask why you took it to a mechanic to clear it? Next time try holding the throttle wide open (choke OFF) and crank (kick?) it over to clear the cylinders and dry the plugs. If it's just flooded and the plugs are only wet, not...

Sorry, not much help. You can try Water Wetter or Engine Ice, they help a bit but don't expect miracles.

Yep, it seems to be a common issue with the big sporty ones. At idle the pump isn't quite moving coolant fast enough to pull the heat off. Revving slightly does two things: it increases coolant flow through the system and also keeps the alternator generating enough voltage to prevent the...

FI Hondas, the big ones at least, don't like sitting still. My XX will get very hot very quickly if I'm sitting still or moving slowly. Keeping the RPM's slightly elevated (2k-ish) seems to help by pumping the coolant around faster.

Did it do this before the coolant change? Did you let it run with the rad cap off after the change to purge any air?

It's working. It's the fan circuit that you want to check.

I guess I'm missing something as well - $400 seems really excessive.

The brake light is controlled by individual switches at the lever and pedal. They do wear out, but it is odd that both are going south on you. The headlamp circuit runs through a set of normally closed contacts in the start button. The idea is that the headlamp circuit is opened when the...

I wouldn't worry too much about power factor correction. Big industrial power users are penalized by the supply utilities for having poor power factors but single point residential customers are not, so even if you manage to bring your power factor to near unity you will see no difference in...
