Well I took the 1500 , Charged battery, went for gas ,about 1/4 mile from house, had no back break,bike went dead as gas stationn found loose wire tightende , so cancelled ride :sensored: will try to fix it tomorrow. Boy don't let these babys set too long , something always goes wrong. Pulled the 1100 down to replace neutral switch in prep for sale. replaced its oil filter will check oil sump screen while I am at it. Got a used (working) Nutral sw out of Latvia?????

Sometimes they seem to have emotions & get jealous of the others getting attention & not them. Slight seepage of air into clutch on my old 84 standard, a bolt on line not lose but needed snugged, bled & all's well. (Had been working on my new 84 standard a lot, all the necessary stuff to make it safe to ride, most all of the summer.) Had rebuilt master & slave on old 84 a few years ago, stainless lines with new bolts & washers, so knew all the parts were good, & full of changed last springs brake fluid. Never had a problem with it before over at least 3 previous winters, it was really cold this winter, but cold & below zero then too. But the 91 sat on table & got a lot of work done & money spent all last winter & spring, then it sat on it all this winter, waiting for new tires, brakes, & fluid changes. :headscratch:

Dang mailman didn't deliver what he said he was going to deliver yesterday, so I just went for a ride on the 1100. Take the good with the bad.

Ride report... what's to report. It's a GoldWing - Turn the key, push the button, and it starts.

As far as things I did to it: no oil leak at the rear case :clapping: (note to self... ALWAYS use some type of sealant (sparingly) in addition to a gasket no matter what others tell you), no more oil dripping on the toe of my left boot :clapping:, and no steam pouring out the exhaust :clapping:.

Oh yeah, I still need to do something with the carbs, but I am waiting until I have the 1200 back together before I decide what I am going to do... Pistol Pete, rebuild them myself, or replace them.

Carbs on 4's pretty simple, easy to do one at a time, a good cleaning, with new needle & seat, with float bowl gaskets, usually takes care of carb problems.

Safe Journey :wave:

Got the 84 standard fired up for the first time this year. Epoxy'd over the busted sight glass on the front brake master. Rear wheel has about 1/8" play. Not sure what to do about that for now.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

last year the 1200 wing shorted out on me near the end of riding season. at the time I replaced the 30a dog bone fuse with another but still no power. today I put another 30a dog bone fuse in it and got power so I started up the 1200 for the first time and rode it to the gas station and filled the tank. my ( I did an alternator conversion ) alternator is testing good at idle but not at 2500 rpm, the meter is telling me there is a fault. jon did put the belt on and buttoned things back up but I noticed that he cut too many ribs off the belt. I'm thinking without enough ribs on the belt the alternator is slipping at higher rpms causing the meter to show a fault

William that sounds right about belt slip at revs providing you are getting 13.8 + at idle. If you are reading lower and it gets worse at revs then it is usually a faulty phase in the alternator/ rectifier
