Do the brakes free up when you crack the bleeder? That would indicate a hydraulic lock upstream of the caliper. Old brake hoses can delaminate and turn into a one way valve. This is quite common but usually on 10 or 15 year old hoses.

How are they on slick mud roads? I'm thinking about the Dempster highway.

This is what I found on a Yamaha site: Poor angle, but you can see marks around the threads where the base plate touched the engine before the gasket sealed. The filter that's on my bike right now looks like 670's. I bought it a year ago.

While the OEM filter is a decent filter, from what I've seen of the inside of both the OEM and Pure One filter, I feel the Pure One is much better........ much much better. I would probably pay more for the Pure One than the OE. But let's not turn this into an oil filter thread. My second...

I doubt that the change would affect the cars that the filter was designed to fit. Since we are using the an automotive filter on an application that it was not designed for, we must be responseable for our actions. I have a PL14610 on the bike right now and will spin it off to see what style...

Just to be sure, put a charger on the battery overnight.

I'm due for an oil change soon and was about to order a PL14610 Purolator when I ran across a couple of posts on other MC forums. It seems that Puro has changed the design of the threaded base plate or the PL14610 so that the threads are much closer to the engine. As a result the threaded area...

To the original question: https://www.conti-online.com/www/motorcycle_de_en/themes/motorcycletires/enduro/tkc_70_en.html Conti is not listing a front TCK70 at this time, so the offers made by some dealers would be a rear flipped over. The safety of that is another big long thread. :confused:

MPG Frunk Valves a mortal can adjust. ABS I just wish there was 75 to 100 lbs less of it.

I can't comment on the PR3s, but I can say that the PR4s are the first tires that I've had that required virtually no "break-in". As well as being excellent in the wet, they work great when cold. That means that when you pull out of the driveway in the morning the tires "work" right away, they...

Try cleaning the battery connections.

That's not what I ment to say. What I ment was: "What a big mistake. You should just leave it in the box and send it to me and I'll kindly dispose of it in an environmentally safe way at no charge."

Nice! :cool:

Some good info on valve clearances. Valve Clearance www.motorcycleproject.com

If the wire is off the EOP switch the oil light will not come on. I see in the video that the oil light does not go out while the engine is cranked over. It should have oil pressure after a couple of seconds of cranking. I like Machineman's theory.
