My wife called me because her car would not start. My son had just put a new battery in it. I had bought a lithium-ion jump starter for her car only the week before. I connected the jump starter and...

Until 20 years ago I rode 2 wheelers my whole life. Last spring my wife bought me a 2008 GS SM5. The wiring had been chewed by rodent, the fuel system was rusted, and clogged ETC. I finally put it...

Okay Mike, when I come to a quick stop without time to fully down shift, leaving the trike in 3rd or 4th gear, then at a full stop with the engine at idle down shifting to 1st.Then it has died when...

Semper Fi. And my God bless all you good Samaritans. We should all be thankful for people like you. Thank you. Sincerly William

My trike has done this several times. After about 3 or 4 minutes with the switch off the panel stays on then turns off, I can restart it after the panel turns off. It is concerning, but I haven't...

I have kept a jump starter, an air compressor, and an electric jack in every vehicle we have owned for 20 years and have used all three on numerous occasions for our cars and for others as well. The...

Thanks Mike, Do you have any photos? So that I can visualize it? I'm not a welder or metal worker but I have done some of both.

Does anyone know where I can get a rear luggage rack for my 2008 GS? Does anyone have one for sale?

Hi, I already had 3 of those automotive lift ramp stands. I just use those and drive my Spyder up on them. That gives me enough room to get underneath. They are about eight inches tall, but it would...

Thanks for the exhaust ID . I couldn't make it out.

Personally, I think I would prefer for a single camera, a left side view; for two cameras, a front and left view. I have been run off the road too many times to remember on bikes. And in less than a...

Thanks Freddy, as best I can remember It wasn't connected to anything. But not knowing for sure I asked, thinking it might have something to do with the error codes. I didn't think to check the color...

205130Hi I got it back together. It does ride much better with all the body panels on it. Does anyone know what type of exhaust this is? Thanks. William:yes:

Hi Freddy. There are four wires about two feet long and wrapped but not shielded. The connection is a distinctive asymmetrical flattened oval shape. Please see photos. William

Does anyone know what this connection is for? It has been so long since I took my trike apart, I don't remember for certain, but I believe this was never connected to anything. It...

Many thanks to Baja Ron, Freddy, and Peter. Special thanks to Peter for correcting my poor grammar and punctuation. ( in college I sent most of my papers to a secretarial pool )!

Okay, thank you. You're right, it's worth a try, right? I have been thinking about laser alignment. Now that I understand how it works, I have an idea involving some bungee cords, laser pointers,...

Hmmm. That is exactly what I was concerned about. This will require some thinking over. For now, I'll reinstall the body panels. I'm still thinking the light weight, missing air dam, and possibly the...

Alright I have grip on it. I watched a DIY alignment on YouTube. A guy aligned his Jeep. (Same thing, only different). Also no one chimed in on whether or not to post photos of my trike naked. So I'm...

Okay, this is great! DIY all the way. I am just a bit confused though. I'm not sure I understand what "side wall run out" is. It sounds like bulges in the tires, but I'm pretty sure that's not what...

Cool thanks Freddy. There is nowhere in The Grants/Milan area to get it Laser aligned, will a regular alignment shop work?

Well, I did it! I zip tied the radiator and dangling wires and display panel. I got it up to over 60 mph (100 kmph) before I chickened out. The front end was pretty squirrelly. But it sure has some...

Cool! Thank you both. Sincerely William.

Yes of course. I did understand your reasoning. I just didn't expect it due to lack of experience in this arena. I will no doubt create more fowpaws as time goes by. There are several questions I...

Okay. I won't. But how do you (PM?) a moderator? Sorry I am not just new to this forum, or any forum for that matter, or any type of social media, Facebook etc... I used to type my sermons on a...

Sorry for all the ooops. A reply didn't seem to be posting. So I repeated it until I found the page selection boxes. So, I just backspaced them all because I can't find a way to delete them... Newbie...

Thank you, Freddie, Baja Ron, Mike - Bluenight911, Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie for sharing your valuable time and knowledge with me. You are all great, I don't know yet how to Start a new post, post pictures,...

After reading this thread and others and thinking about using an Aprilla ECM, some thoughts on How To address the loss of torque. Perhaps using a low-profile rear tire would help but the suspension...

Thanks Mike. 15 W 40 seems to be all that I can find right now. Do you think that will work? Also, apparently these engines burn oil I've read. What do you think of using viscosity boosters like...

Thanks, I'll replace the wires as well. My plugs keep fouling, so maybe that will help. I also forgot to mention that I bought a OBDPROG 100 to clear codes. It does that well but that's all it does....
