    Wow, the smoke was ACTUAL SMOKE! That's a new variation on the "bad stator" theme.

    Shawn, that's a clever mounting solution for the VR. The obsessive machinist in me winces when I see burrs...

    Ah, that's normal. Keep riding.

    JK. :p

    I've never heard of the smoke/steam symptom. I'm assuming you checked the oil level. If you are on a '09 and haven't done the rotor/stator dance, then...

    Good idea! I'd like to be able to turn the fan off for a moment while starting the bike; for those times when the battery is a little bit down on cranking power.

    That looks like plenty of cargo space. I'm impressed.

    Actually, going out of alignment might even be considered "a feature, not a bug." The alternative would be (if everything were so rigid that nothing could slip out of alignment) parts would BEND or...

    I also have the EBR ecm and Jardine RT-5 and the same rough throttle response from time to time. It's annoying, but the TPS reset takes care of that every time. I just wish I knew why the reset...

    Why not think of your pods as twin, side-mount toaster ovens? Because that is what they'd be, whether you wanted it or not.

    :p

    Honestly, given the history of '09 stators, if I had one that wasn't dead yet I would not wait for it to die, I'd just go ahead and do the whole stator, rotor, etc. dance. The peace of mind would be...

    Um, I believe your stator is fried, sir. All that black crud is not supposed to be there. So, if ain't dead yet, then it's dying.

    Actually, I think that diagnosis holds for all stators running...

    Be more specific. What happens (or doesn't happen) when you try to bleed the clutch? i.e. How are you attempting to bleed it?

    Good luck. I hope it doesn't melt those cables if you get caught in "no-airflow" slow traffic.

    Does this design actually protrude far enough to keep the radiator pod of the deck in a tip-over with the steering at full lock? It looks like it definitely protrudes far enough to destroy my legs...

    Compared to what?

    Hawaii is better than a whole hell of a lot of places I have sampled, but it is not "paradise." Everything is expensive, traffic is outrageous, and some people just can't handle...

    There are at least two CRs on Oahu, then; yours and mine. Mine is a red '09. I don't commute with it, but you may see it on base when I work OT on the weekends.

    Heh.

    That's one reason why I do all of my own service... I'm in Hawaii, too, btw. What branch of service are you? I'm a former Marine, now a DoD civilian at the shipyard.

    Slipper clutches are for people who know how to rev match, too. All of the top racers use them. Apparently some of us think we know better (or at least rev match better) than the champions? :)

    Is there a vendor offering that, or would you do it yourself?
