Sorry folks but I was on my next favorite bike, a W650, for this story.....Leonard ... South ... that ... real ... the...
I have been having some electrical problems for quite some time now and I am looking for a bit of insight before I dive into it again this week. Here is some...
Hello, Recently, while i was removing my spark plug to check the colour, I found a thin metallic spring like thing wrapped around the threads of the plug when...
... What you're describing sounds like a Heli-Coil insert for repairing a stripped thread in the spark plug hole. The insert isn't supposed to come out with...
... The insert should, of course, stay in the plug hole. Since it's made like a spring, unscrewing the plug has the effect of trying to expand, or "unwind" it....
Start at the battery. Connect the DVOM to the battery and start the engine. If the DVOM doesn't show AT LEAST 13.8VDC right off idle (about 1500-1800rpm's...
Hi Pranav, are you sure that this spring thing isn't part of the thread that has been stripped from the plug hole? This would make sense and if so, the only...
Hey Pranav... I think you've stripped the threads on the sparkplug hole.. Did you tighten too much when you took out the plug the last time?? when you put your...
I hope you are right. The battery is less than 2 months old so it would be a defective battery if this is the case. I believe the auto zone i purchased it from...
Sounds like a Heli-Coil to me. Was the "spring" thick and did not fall apart or was it thin and bits broke off during your process of trying to re-insert it...
I have been considering upgrading the exhaust, changing to a larger front sproket, and upgrading the clutch spring (to compensate for the larger sproket) to my...
A decent power boost from the exhaust and re-jet, along with a one-tooth increase at the gearbox output sprocket, are a good selection of mods which will work...
had my girlfriend put the trickle charger on my battery while i was at work. I came home to see that the charger indicated that the battery was charged. i put...
... Hey Nat, I have performed these mods and I must say I have been quite happy with them. I went to an 18 tooth sproket. Bought it and hung it in the shop for...
Could someone measure the 'Engine attachment nuts' and 'rear chaincase distance piece' parts 39291, 45210, and 39613. These are the nuts that go through the...
Hi Pranav, Unfortunately it looks like you have stripped the threads of your plug hole. To prevent any surprises i'd suggest you to take the bike to your ...
... I'm afraid to say that, to me, it sounds like the stage before that - the one where the tops of the threads have come out with the plug. Next step will be...
Nat: You should add "upgrade air filter" to complete that list of basic improvements. There is a K&N filter that can retrofit into the existing air box, or you...
Thanks for your replies.....had not considered the air filter....I basically have what I need to do the exhaust, sproket, rejets and clutch spring and will...
... 1) Trickle charge battery overnight. 2) Put it in the bike. Turn on the headlight. Put kill switch in OFF position to avoid burning points/coil up. 3)...
... Hi, Thanks all for the replies. The cross-section of the coil was flattish rectangular. The spring was not very strong, rather it was somewhat brittle....
Good Morning Friends. If the metallic debris around the plug thread was removed and checked with a magnet, would this simple test not sort out whether it was...
Hi all, Well, here are a few pictures of my trip to India from last summer : http://www.flickr.com/photos/unemotoeninde/sets/. Arrived in Chennai, drove down...
