My bike…1974

Since it took so much time to get here...I got an appropriate key fob....

Good deal! Wheelies are always fun!!! I'm glad you finally got it.

The creeping idle with the warmer engine seems to be sorta typical,best I can tell. Mine idles at about 11-1200 cold and will creep up to around 14-1500 when full hot.

I have been fighting front brake squeal forever. The squeal you describe,adjust your front brake so that the inside/dead pad is not touching the rotor. Put it very close so as not to have a dead zone in the brakes. I adjust mine to where when you look down the side of the rotor you can just barely see light between the pad and the rotor.I never measured it but I would guess about .015-.020'' is what has been working for me. I cannot stand break squeal

   Ya-no what Paul did to my brakes while adjusting ,O.K. what I noticed when he was done lever was /didn't grab till twards the end of pull ,didn't go all the way but thought was strange not being right there tight,same for the rear,didn't take much to get used to but my brakes never made noise,and they look like there touching disc.he said thats O.K.(but thats how he did it).Front have (dual)new pads on 1 and best old on other,back all new.

When I went to charge the battery, I noticed it was already an AGM. :) One less thing to buy. :)

                     You best catch up were ya been "O" had yo nose digging ih the FSM (good job by the way)..Doc.good ? think ya can find him

You're kidding, right? Dr Who, in the Guiness Book Of World Records as the longest running sci-fi series in the world, first aired on the BBC in 1963, that's 3 years before Star Trek!

I found it on Amazon.....

I had artwork entered into a local Dr Who themed art show, I rode my bike there, and thought having the keychain would be appropriate. Had a killer shirt too....

IN yer dreams! Captain Kirk had a thing for 30-something green alien women, while Dr Who seems to like young, hip, hot women. Point goes to Dr Who. (though admittedly, Star Trek is a good show. LOL)

I stoped watching reg T.V. programs and talk sht shows over 10 yrs ago,and started living life instead of watching others so called do it.Watched a voyager flick on nexflix the other day though.,But truthfully never watched that Dr. who was his name again..

Sorry Mark,I wasn't kiddingLet's see,it ran from '63-'89. I was born in '80 so me being only 9 years old when it went off,yep , it was before my time.Actually when I was 9 we didnt even own a TV at that point. When we first got a TV ( i was probably 11 or 12)we actually had two of them.One sat on top of the other.The one on top had sound only,the one on the bottom had picture only.Me being the youngest I got the honor of flipping a lot of knobs when the old man wanted to change channels I'm kinda like Piute,I gave up on TV a while back. But I can  always make time to catch a Rosario Dawson filmThat woman just kills me...ok,back on topic...

[MarkPBG]

Actually, it didn't just run from '63 to '89....it's STILL running. There was just a new season on! lol
(I'm one season behind because I'm watching them on Netflix.) I don't have cable, satellite, DSL, or antenna TV hooked up....just internet.

[shinyribs]

Yeah,I saw that on the Wiki. '63 to current!Wow!...i guess that makes me 49 seasons behind Did you read in the Wiki how they recorded the intro music?Pretty cool. Oh,and the Dr Who meets metal makes alot more sense now!

I wonder if I just found the source of my idle tuning problem....the exhaust on my bike is obviously not factory 4 into 1 set up and I noticed the baffle was starting to come loose and may fall out, so I went looking for a new muffler. When I measured the pipe this thing is clamped onto, it's a massive 2 ½" o.d. pipe! Maybe these pipes on my bike are a much freer flowing set and my carbs maybe should have had some jet changes when they were put on! Most of the replacement mufflers I see are for 1 ½ to 1 ¾ pipes. What do you think?

Oh and I don't see many with the rear hangar tab welded on already....is there a good brand to get that has them? I saw a dunstall style reverse cone muffler from Dime City cycles that has it, but the inlet is smaller so it's obviously for a 4 into 2 or 4 into 4 set up.  

[shinyribs]

That makes sense really. I know the pipe on mine is 2 1/2'' just like yours. I cant remember,are you running the air box? When mine was (stoopid) lean it still idled ok,though. Not trying to throw you off,just saying.
