I'm in the middle of doing a decent amount of work to my xb12ss and I'm a little baffled over what's happening with the front axle right now. I've removed and re-installed the wheels countless times,...

Just answered my own question. Those time-serts are only 0.4" in length :)

I only have one question about the time-sert route. The thickness of the swingarm wall at the drain hole seems about half that of the length of the time-sert. It's obviously not an issue if the drain...

I use the same mirrors, and the compression plugs do indeed suck. Nice one 50.

FHP. The ticket is written so poorly though, I figured it wouldn't hold up in court. In the "motorcycle" box he checked "no", and even though he pulled me over on 429 south of the Turnpike, he listed...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I'm going to take the driver's safety class on this one. I'll just pay the ticket and they'll wipe the points.

For the record, the roads were clear, the...

I was ticketed for going 99 in a 70. The cop claimed I was going a lot faster, but was "doing me a favor" by writing it for less than 30 over. His notes say "I-L passed me paced 100+", and Pace Clock...

I have to work on Sat. Maybe Sunday?

Man, I need to reflash my ecu too. I know the previous owner tinkered with it, but I have no idea what they may have done. My problem has been finding the...

Oh cool. I might look into that Magura hydro clutch myself :)

Ah, ok. Thx fellas :)

Still no response from EBR on the status of the rotors. Is there anywhere other than EBR to pick these up (I'm assumining that's a no)? You get yours from EBR Buellet?

Ha. I'm always worried that my 3 y/o will run off with my keys. So, I always let him put it away for me on the book shelf. I figured I'd teach him where it's always supposed to go and let him do it...

Yeah, I'll look into that for sure. I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I want to order one of every flex-hone they have on that site! I could do so much with a set of those :P

Here we go:...

I'd be down for either weekend... wait. Mother's day is the weekend of the 12th-13th fellas. I'll be in Tampa.

The following Sunday might be good for me though. I think I have a damn wedding to go...

I need to replace my front rotor pretty badly too. It feels like it's slightly warped. I'm with snru though, I don't see how they'd warp with multiple mounting points so close to the friction...

The positive pressure in the crankcase comes from blowby. The combustion process is pretty intense, and no piston rings operate at 100% efficiency, so some will always get by. When you get washed out...

Check all of your grounds. Pull them off, clean them, re-seat them and tighten them down. Then check the wiring harness, particularly where it passes sharp spots, etc. (like the negative battery...

Update on the "no heat gun" method: Doesn't last as long. It's been a couple weeks and it's needing to be "remolded" again.

Heat gun here I come! :P

Probably won't see much in the way of performance. Nothing measurable anyways. However, since we aren't running 2-strokes here, why should we want oil mixing with our gas at the intake? :P And the...

Yep, have fun and be safe.

I'm working this weekend anyway. If anyone get's bored, swing out to the Walt Disney Speedway. I'm a Paramedic/Track Safety out there. I'll get you behind the wheel of...

Found this on a little google search: http://motorcycleroads.com/Routes/Florida_85.html

Some of it looks crummy (I-4???), but there might be something good in there somewhere.

Yep, it's dirt all right. The pavement actually stops right where The Van Fleet Trail crosses 565, before you even reach logging road. I didn't see it comming; was barely able to stop before the...

Oh yeah, I'm gonna check that out. It's a 45 min ride one way from my front door to where center grade hits 471. But, looking at the satellite image, it looks like it could be dirt. With a name like...

Oh man, you guys rode my old route to school! I took some classes out at LSCC in Leesburg. That was much nicer than taking 19 up. I'd do that again too if you guys are up for it. Hell, I'd go all the...

Using a heat gun is definitely a more thorough remolding than my method, but I thought I'd share anyways. This works in a pinch if you don't have access to a heat gun:

Go ride really hard, till...
