2talltim Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 If anyone need service done at Pony or any other dealers now might be the time. Called Pony today about some recall work for my wife's Scout and she said drop it off anytime and they will get it done right away. She said they are slow to dead for customers. You have to call them for appointments they aren't open for walk in and the store is closed but service is operating 10-5. Don't wait till this shit is over with like everyone else and decided then its time to get their spring work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Smoked the clutch in the zrx. Slipping like a bitch once it’s wrapped up. Knew I shoulda looked in there when I had the bike tore down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I didn't work on bikes today, but I did begin to organize my tool box. I finished the first two drawers. Only 9 more to go. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those wheels are a pain on manual machine or to spoon on. Not much of a drop center on them. I've done a couple for a local guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's a series model from the ID that will run a cooler stator. But without the pricing the well known SH847AA pulls. Installed. 13.3v at Idle 14.3v up to 8000rpm. It's inside the nose fairing so I can't check it for heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadeam Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Finished installing the FZ6N conversion kit. None if the fasteners fit properly, parts were missing, the main stay is poorly constructed and all the tapped and thread holes are off. It is also nearly impossible to install without cutting the wiring and relocating the connectors and flasher inside the frame (stock FZ6S they are out front in the fairing). I'm happy the bike is now naked, and I wanted an OEM look, but in hindsight I probably would source custom parts and use a round headlight bucket. I may still do that.

Steve Butters Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Digging the naked look but not sure about that particular headlight either... Is that headlight different than the "euro" one from the FZ1N? I have always liked that headlight on the FZ1. This one looks a little different.

It's a knock-off kit from China, but it is a copy (visually and aesthetically but not in quality) of the European FZ6N. I think the FZ1N does have an entirely different headlight though.

This answers my question on if ill ever give CL another go now that they are charging. If they charge and weed out the BS spam and BOTS I'd give them a go. Hearing this, fuck them and their $5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually they will all circle around to "do you have a VIN report?" and then try to get you to use their VIN service, or try to get you to send them more photos so they can scam other people using photos of your bike. Insist that you speak to anyone you're talking to on the phone, or get some sort of proof they are a person before you give out any info. Selling bikes online sucks.

But...I have sold a number of bikes on CL. PITA, yes. But for $5 you do get in front of a good number of actual buyers. Online options are few. FB Marketplace pretty limited, and you are subject to Facebook rules, they cancelled the add for my Vulcan twice because it "an inappropriate item to sell on Facebook."

I forgot about those. i did ask for his #. told him i was comfortable with the bike history if he wanted papers he would need to get it. If they send I link (affiliate?) I get something to report. @Tpoppa I put vinyl wrap with a price and #. with all the head turns I normally get I think they would be better impulse buyers then the CL virtual tire kickers asking questions answered in the ad.

B-Mac Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Sunday, Got in a nice 120mi. ADV ride around WNF. I have never seen the back roads around WNF Monday Creek so rutted up and fucked up from the 4WD contingent. Won't be long before the powers that be take action and screw us all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
