So are you talking about the actual bolts that connect the VR to the bike? (as far as reliable ground) Or something else?

Thanks all. You helped mucho grandee. Got it working. Went for a 60 minute today in the twisties, ran freekin great.

Got to give a shout out to St. Paul Harley Davidson / Buell.... great folks....

Hello, XB12scg quit charging. Checked stator and it is O.K. have new regulator with new 77 connector included.

My question is, both wires from the regulator to the 77 are black. From the 77 to...

Thanks all, Running 33 and 34 psi, I don't commute and ya, The tires never fail me. Just wondering what others were getting out of the Dunlops. Will keep buying them, (Just bought another rear) and...

I have been using Dunlop Q3 tires since the first time I replaced tires on my 07 XB12s. It had Pirelli's on it and to be honest it got king of squirrely with those, especially the back.

I went to...

Can you explain the 'whip test' and what possible problem it actually replicates on a real motorcycle?

Thanks.

Yep, talked to Lance, ordered my parts, paid with paypal all is good.

Oh... BTW I got the horn working. The button needs to be pressed DOWN not IN. :upset: Ended up tearing into the left handlebar controls to figure it out. Yikes!!

Thanks Silverrider, That is great info. If the other things don't work I'll call on Monday. Have family in the Twin Cities. This should work out. :eagerness:

Well Chickn, I thought the same. So tracking it down, (I did replace the stop light connector at the light) I ended up at the front brake switch and cleaned it and lo and behold, the brake light...

Here is an update... When I check the volts of the red stoplight plugin (unplugged) I get 11.4v. (when I engage front or back brake) But if I plug it onto the stoplight terminal and check voltage I...

Alright, new problem. My horn is not working, so I took the fly shield off and put a test light on the positive wire at the horn and pressed the button, no power. So I find the fuse and it is good,...

Thanks guys, job done. put it all together and torqued as you all suggested, took it for a 15 minute ride, re torqued and I hope life will be fine till I have to holler help again.

Thanks, you...

All right then:)

Thanks a bunch

My thinking is, though it may be flawed, is to put the new stud in, and possibly use a grade 8 nut or perhaps a brass nut with a lock washer... use anti seize, so the nut may come off in the...

Well, I got the broken stud out! And will put a new one in. Do I use anti seize or Loctite? I bought (2) 5/16 24 grade 8 nuts and 2 grade 8 lock washers and want to know how to attack this vibrating...

As I don't own a welder, I would have to take the bike down the road to have someone weld a nut on. Or maybe this is a good excuse to buy a wire feed welder!:up:

Question, how do you keep the...

Silverrider said: "Can you show us a pic of how much stud is remaining ?"

I will if it goes south, but it is about 3/4" out and I'll take a stab at turning it out. I put PB blaster on it while...

Well, the P.O. gave me 2 new studs, as he showed me that the stud needed to be replaced, and if I get the stud out and the new one in, my question was not about a brass stud, but a brass nut. Old...

Does anyone know where I can find SS exhaust studs? Also, can I use brass nuts, let me know!

Thanks

O K... I have 20w 50 in the primary, and will run some sea foam through the bike. The bike is shifting well and I am finding neutral with a bit of searching:)

I have a broken exhaust stud in the...

O K you guys are king! I think one of the spark plug wires might not have been seated all the way. Just took it out, and ran it for 15 minutes. CEL is out it pulls good from 2500 on up, but there is...

Thanks... that is what has me baffled about this hose. Both of the stock breather hoses are there and vented as you say to the air box. I'll see if I can find where the other end gets to. I just...

I will check intake snorkel (I assume it is the big rubber horn flare looking thing) and have ordered the Buelltooth. I will check plug wires. I never unplugged the air inlet sensor. did not know how...
