    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    Thanks Sparky. You are a good guy and very helpful. Much appreciated. The Buell will be out and about soon enough. I was told by the dealer he may be able to use a metric kit to square me away. End of the day whether I am tightening the bolt with a 5/8 inch socket or a 17mm, really does not...

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    By the way I was in the army - this is the first time I noticed "Rank." I was enlisted while in the army - so not sure about the Second Lieutenant thing. Sparky I see you are near the top of the food chain. Impressive.

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    Thanks for the nice replies back. It's all good. Here in Maine the weather has been pretty cold and roads still icy so at least it gives me a little time to find or "bite the bullet" and just buy a kit. It would not be so bad - but I need rear tires on my two other bikes. So figure $200 or...

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    Maybe I misinterpeted your post Lunatic --- if I did then I appologize for same. That being said if you re-read it and TRULY put yourself in my shoes, whether intended or not you should be able to see how it could have (and for me it did) come across like you were belittling me and my...

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    Thanks Neil - I figured it is a bit of a long shot for someone to be trusting enough to loan one out - but no downside in checking - other than of course some of the comments like the guy above giving me his version of snuggling up a drain bolt like I never did it before when in...

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    I change the oil in my cars and bikes for years never had a problem and never used a torque wrench . .. I bought a torque wrench a couple of years ago and thought what the hell - might as well use it ---so it's ironic the one and only time I use it is to a bogus torque no. So thanks for...

    Looking for Time 0122a - Decided to Torque to Spec

    First time using torque wrench for an oil change. Thought I would do it buy the book - and like many here - I got the erroneous 30 ft lb torque. Found a shop that will do repair but only time serts they have are metric. They said if I can get them a kit to use they would do for $20 to $50...

    Any Thougts on a Consistent CEL Pattern

    I wanted to indicate how my inquiry played out in case others have the same question and search this string. I reviewed the owner's manual and did suggest that stored codes would be saved for up to 50 run cycles --- start the bike and having it run for a relatively short period of time and...

    Any Thougts on a Consistent CEL Pattern

    Thank you all for the input --- I have been away from the computer for the past couple of days - otherwise I would have responded sooner. I do have a multi-meter (never used it before for direct current) but will give it a try ... Again thanks for the input --- I will share what I find out ...

    Any Thougts on a Consistent CEL Pattern

    It's an original exhaust - really odd b/c it plays out this sequence exactly 5 seconds on (as it should be) only to come back exactly 5 seconds later and then to go out 10 seconds after that ... RIGHT on the second... Its like the computer is going through its checks and finds something yet...

    Any Thougts on a Consistent CEL Pattern

    Thank you. So you can check codes even if light does NOT stay on? It is only on for literally an extra 10 seconds (coming back on that second time 5 seconds after it goes out and then you start it). Then it goes off and does not come back on while you have it on/riding it. Biggest reason I...

    Any Thougts on a Consistent CEL Pattern

    Just wondering if any one has thoughts on the following: Start the bike (see the Vtwin symbol) it goes out in 5 seconds start the bike. After bike started 5 seconds later (symbol or CEL light if you will) comes back on. Ten seconds after it comes back on it goes off and all set until the next...

    Tuning Your Suspension - Does Manual Recommendations Work for You?

    You are totally in luck [up] Go to the top of the site --- just to the right of forum - you will see service manuals. Somebody has downloaded the service manual for a 2003 XB92 --- Table 1-10 --- and on show not only the settings based on your weight, but how to do it, and then give options...

    Tuning Your Suspension - Does Manual Recommendations Work for You?

    Thank you both for the feedback - I am going to read that article first chance (at work so my time is limited right now)... I did the setting on my bike it seemed like the bike ran quicker with that but it seemed to be a bit harder to handle - it may be that I just need to get used to new...

    Tuning Your Suspension - Does Manual Recommendations Work for You?

    Hi everyone. I (for the first time) have a motorcycle with 3 way adjustable suspension (front and back) as opposed to my other bikes with pre-load only. I downloaded the Service Manual for my 2006 Lightning XBSs (Long). I set up the front and rear suspension to the recommendations based on my...

    "Beauty is Beast"

    Agreed --- for sure a middle-weight more in line with the SV650, ER-6N and now that new street fighter (stripped down version of the MV Augusta F3 - the Brutale 675. I mentioned the Street Triple more due to that entire "line" by Triumph is top notch ... I think as long as you are a...

    Looking to buy either Lightning Long Touring Seat or Corbin Seat

    Does anyone have a Lightning Long Touring seat for sale? I know that they are hard to come by... I may pick up a Corbin seat if I can't find one -- that being said if anyone for whatever reason has a Corbin seat that they no longer want/need - I would be interested in buying ...TKS Jamie
