    Not going into closed loop

    ^ on the slotted holes, that's how some (ford) automotive sensors used to be in the 90's. Slotted mounting holes. Install the sensor and physically rotate the sensor until the idle voltage was correct. Then check for a full 5 at wot. In those days you couldn't reset the value, you had to achieve...

    KTM XBow

    ^^Yeah, thats what I see. I never knew about it. Not sure how I missed it. Actually I was on a Google marathon last night looking into little kit cars getting ideas and wrecked late model liter bikes. I am planning on making a chassis and using a M/C engine just for something to do. Then I...

    KTM XBow

    KTM make 4wheelers? Sure do. Well..... other than having a couple too many wheels the KTM XBow is pretty darn badass. I'd love to have one in the garage next to my bikes. RC8 vs XBow youtube video

    Painters, advice.

    I've had good luck painting plastics. I've followed a guide put out by SEM, a paint and finish manufacturer. Go here Click on the one for "bumper repair and refinishing". Its a PDF download containing plastic repairs of all kinds, and refinishing. Very informative and lists everything you need...

    guess what I'll be doing shortly...

    I had a similar experience bleeding my rear brake just a few weeks ago. Just took a while. I let my bleeder slowly drip for a few reservoir fill ups. Just barely opened. Then tightened it. I had my master off and rebuilt as well as the new caliper and line...so it was totally dry. Then I just...

    2003 Sportster 1200C Battery Cable Cross Reference

    Yup. I use #4 welding cable. Its nice and flexible. Get some copper ends and give em a good crimping.

    New to me, wondering what goes here?

    Rchuff is right it's a breather. Just so you don't get confused, the breather in your picture is a trans vent. It doesn't get talked about much. The breathers most talked about here and being routinely rerouted are the PCV valve breathers on top of the engine. If the T visually bugs you, go get...

    addition...older buell or Ducati?

    That's really just a preference. That Monster should be around 60 HP when new. It would also need valve check frequently. I'm not sure off hand but somewhere in the neighborhood of every 5k. Every Ducati ever made since the late 60's has the Desmo valve drive train. Some are 2v some 4v. The...

    Stalls at random

    Today is nice. A rare October day here in Cheektowaga. Just got back from a ride on my XB to look at an SX...... We gotta get a B-lo ride together some day.

    New Fuel Pump Strange noise and then cutout

    I replaced my pump with a new assembly because it was loud. The regulator is stamped 338 kpi (converts to 49 psi). Also worth mentioning not all the pumps have corrugated tubing. Some have rubber fuel line. You can get fuel line in a submersible grade at Napa, or just about anywhere. You do...

    guess what I'll be doing shortly...

    How I would diagnose is... Unplug the brake pedal pressure sensor. Turn key on. Push the connector that goes to the sensor out of the way and grab the connector going into your bike. Using a piece of wire connect the two wires together. Your brake light should come on when you connect wires...

    [up] looks good. Sometimes the pressure brake switches can get gummed up. You could try to clean it up w/ some brake clean.

    EBR 1190SX - KTM Super Duke 1390 Shootout

    [up]. I like the raw nature myself. Honestly that's why I don't have any interest in Jap bikes. Too smooth and refined=boring.

    Got the 1190sx itch.... real world rider reports?

    Thanks for all the comments. I'm going to head to the dealer Friday. They are a EBR/Ducati dealer. Last time I had my Duc in for warranty work I asked about trading on a RX and have a good idea what he will give me. I can live with it. It's paid for, so I shouldn't have to cough up to much. I...

    EBR 1190SX - KTM Super Duke 1390 Shootout

    I dunno. They are so close in power. I really doubt either would seem "slow" in the real world. Any bike I've ridden with power like that is more about restraint ha ha. I personally think the EBR looks much better, but that's objective. I saw this video on the RX. Probably seen it already...

    Got the 1190sx itch.... real world rider reports?

    I hear ya. I've never had issues w seat height. Think I'd be ok. I set the height of my cafe xb at 31.5 and its a wide seat, it's perfect for me. I'm 5'10" so I should be fine. I think know what you mean about going slow. Not much different than a Ducati. Ain't happy under 3k or so. Lots of 1st...

    Got the 1190sx itch.... real world rider reports?

    You guys with one, how do you like it all in all ? I really like the looks and most of the reports online. The seat is about an inch higher than I would like, but think I could adjust. I have a 31" inseam. Weather is out of the question right now for a test ride. What you think about it? I'm...

    To those with an incurable sputter in the mid-range.

    Nice job Sodi. The grounding on XB's is an area where IMO Harley penny pinchers stepped in to save the cost of a copper cable to the engine. I made a new negative cable and ran it to my rear engine mount as well as many other grounding improvements. But where you ran it is perfectly acceptable...
