Sure Ace, coffee's on! A little slap happy in my last post, but that's what these ladies do to you. What a good feeling - I probably don't deserve it, but...

First question... I think my battery is weak. Was riding into work and got a lot of sputtering and loss of power. Turned around and make it back home, barely....
It's easy to check the battery, but it also could be some loose connection somewhere too. Be sure that the wires you disconnected from the starter, aren't ...
It is a long, long story CJay. We drive on the left though, and in the slow lane, for sure. As to how I got here, I've been drawn here several times, fist...
CJay, People there do seem to be fascinated by the South Pacific, and while living in Fiji, I actually saw the schooner used in the "Adventures in Paradise"...
Well, I see that I answered CJay's question twice! Got up very early, wrote a reply, stumbled back to bed, didn't find my reply this morning, so wrote another...
... Lawrence, Not a problem. I enjoyed them both. It's nice to meet someone who has managed to live their dream. It has been one of my dreams through out the...
CJay I think it was T. S. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)who warned us to beware of the "Dreamers of the Day", saying that people who act on their dreams can be...
SWMBO says I can buy something new, but 2004 Red Bullet-65 (535) has to go. Anyone interested. As the worlds worst salesman, I will make you a great deal! JEB ...
I was in Tonga about 25 years ago and I seem to remember the Mormon church in Nuku Alofa was bigger than the kings Palace. Tonga was a terrific place for...
I posted this message last night on the CMW message board and haven’t receieved a reply, thought I would try my luck with Nables/Yahoo group. So i now have...
A few things need to be added to your info, for best conjecture from us. First, what was the piston/wall clearance set to for this new piston? Also, what ring...
Ace. Thanks for the reply. I don’t have the clearances on had right now; they are at home in my shop. I am confident they are correct though. I purchased the...
Give that mixture adjustment a try, and see if it helps. If it's really rich, the gas can wash off the oil from the rings and cause some blow by to happen. ...
I'm running a 127.5 main 30 pilot and the needle position at it's richest. K&N filter and free flowing silencer. My bike seems to like this set-up. But to some...
My bike is an early 99 bullet 500 made for the US market. It had the set up from the factory where the tube went from the crankcase to a oil catch can and then...
... Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Looks like oil to me, rings not seated. Is there a chance one or more of the rings was installed upside down? There...
I am running 30 weight non detergent oil right now by suggestion of the machinist I used and I verified that this should be ok with the guys over at Hitchcocks...
You'll need to keep an eye on the oil level frequently during this process, so you don't run low. But, you don't want it filled to the top, because that will...
Jordan, it sounds like you're doing everything about right. I'm out of ideas from here. ... I suppose it is possible but doesn't seem likely. You could do a ...
"There is another small possibility of an issue from another location. If you are not burning any oil, and it's not showing any smoke out the exhaust at all,...
Rick. the leak down test is my next step if all the easy fixes do not work. I have never done one, nor do i have access to a compressor, test unit. I figure i ...
... Main jet's effectiveness is 3/4-full throttle. 1/4-3/4(~) is determined by needle setting. I'd put the clip up a groove or two and try some more. Also...
Jordan, I don't want to make a big issue out of the relief valve, because it's not really a high-probablity, and I only mentioned it as a possibility in case...
... Sounds like decent compression to me. The quick and dirty test I referred to is where you install a compression guage in place of the spark plug, hold the...
My bike is kick start only. I am going to try a list of different items tonight/tomorrow and try to get it sorted out. Just to get things straight a leak down...
