mello dude

I got a ride on a buddys R3 and I couldnt help but laugh my ass off. You have to wring the shit out of the engine, but it was light and flickable.. I didnt get a chance to try it in twists, but I bet I could do some good corner speed with it. - -I would love to stick one of the 300/400s in my garage for a twisty riot party... (Add it to the wish list....)

Played a game of --- Wire re-assembly spaghetti bingo (Oh shit .... how's all this stuff go together?) I win! (Yesss)

Thanks for the union vs corporation clarification, didnt know that..... .but the net result of the whole thing is that it has created a class of super PACs.... funded by billionaires and they "whisper" their deep pockets into the ears of our elected officials..no accountability and huge dark money...

The parties are owned by billionaires... and the Citizens United, SCOTUS decision has polluted elections with billions of dark money...

^^^^^ That's hilarious!

This 'll work, its dark enuff..... Ok I'm being an asshat... I'm on mulitple other motorcycle forums and there's like oil threads going simultaneously on at once...

Jeri - wow, great stable of bikes you got there! - Um, I'm a Dayton guy, can I come see your Nortons? I would be up for a meet and greet ride too....

Have Verizon too... Getting expensive... Got a phone and a tablet... cant bitch about the service, but effe the monthly bill. Waht are other choices.... (I wont do Google anything extra.. Chrome is it only.)

ProBolt is awesome... great stuff! My bike has titanium fender bolts... 😎 lol https://www.probolt-usa.com/ Wait you put Aluminum bolts on your drive sprocket? Dunno if I would do that... I know they are made of 7575 T6 Tensile probable 85ksi... but still Anybody else do that?

Yay! Love that PB Blaster super shit, made in Cleveland..

Making a guess,, dunno what it looks like.... but loosen axle and maybe pull off rear wheel, pull off and shit can the siezed adjustor, install a new one? (how hard could it be?) https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/suzuki/motorcycle/2016/dr-z400sml6/rear-wheel

Kinda gett'n dangerous...

Its more than due... .its overdue..... Kinda leads to the brakes too... been changed and flushed?

Post up a few photos of your bike 😎

Funny shit!

I resemble that remark.... Imagine having to work with a bunch of asshat geniuses...

Torque Range?

Great scenery photos.....more plz.....

That's a great list.

Was only going to replace the rear tire, when suddenly I got an attack of the "while I'm at it disease"... (dammit, I did it again!)

Its def purty.. 😎

Adding to above... a very common problem with Honda''s starter solenoids is melting connectors....

Check the wiring at the starter solenoid and relay. It could be burnt or have bad connectors. Other than that, I 'm kinda at the gotta be there stage and go to town a with a multimeter.....you have something that breaks conductivity when it warms up.

Have you checked the charging system? Wahts volts at idle? Volts at 5000 RPM --- Stator check, pull connector... stator side connector, AB/BC/BA resistance, AB/BC/BA to ground, then AC volts on again AB/BC/BA - idle and 5000 rpms. See if you can do that.. Oh yeah.... Verify a good battery first under load. tested. and battery static volts? (I've fixed my share of Honda charging systems...) Noticing you have an '01 F4i... around then Honda was going cheap on charging components and the R/Rs were junk...

Thanks!
