This is fantastic! Thank you, Doug.

Great news,Riceburner.
At 14 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm not riding! I clean it off out in my garage
,check the battery, and daydream about a nice ride .

Stay safe, you too,Towerworker.

Thank you , Doug.
You are appreciated.

Chris,Doug, and Riceburner -
Absolutely YES !

I understand the bandwidth /server dilemma . I've been using a bookmark since forever.
I'm curious to ask- what are the stats for using up the allotment if only registered members can have access?

Wish you the best with your move !

Braided stainless brake/clutch lines next spring.

Glad to hear you are doing well - must be- the antifreeze jokes are back!

My apologies to all for such a long length of time passing. " Put the bike on the center stand, then pass a tie-down through the front wheel against the rim ID and connect each end hook to the center stand cross brace, effectively stopping the center stand from folding rearward after it is tigh...

I thought so and thank you so much.

Thanks so much,CycleRob. I've read many of your posts( the most informative and detailed in this forum) and will try your methodology when I get a warm-up day.Too cold here in the Midwest to ride or fix just now,and have a family member with health issues right now.. I haven't pulled the starter to ...

Thanks, Tundra Dweller ,that's a good first step to try or at least eliminate as an issue.If it's not simple, I'll just have to wait.
Swamper . . ."Jacket" ? ?

Thanks everyone. I'll get back .

AZBMWRider, no the fluid level doesn't go down when I operate the lever. There isn't any pressure build up or leaking on the floor either. I'm waiting for a November warm up here in the midwest before I take anything else apart - otherwise I may have to wait 'til spring>I have an unheated garage.

DG Decker , bleeding the clutch lines wasn't an issue, that went fine .

Thanks Riceburner and Boxer. =D> My clutch master wasn't empty or even below the sight window when I found the problem so it may be the leaking slave hasn't let too much fluid go into the clutch or the cavity.I can pull the pushrod out and see if it's wet but I'm going to pull off the starter first...

Yesterday after washing my '02 off I thought I would take a ride because I hadn't for months during this Covid pandemic. It started fine, I rolled it off the center stand,and clicked into first gear.It died. The problem is I have NO fluid pressure in the clutch master cylinder- so pulling the clutch...

Fantastic looking.
I have admired your previous R with it's customizations ,especially trimming the rear /seat subframe into a unique look.Kudos and a toast *clink* to you for following your passion.

Mrclubike, could you please tell me which or what K bike that front fender is from,and if you had to do much modification to mount it? I've seen a couple similar , but don't know how much rework it takes.
Really like the colors together !

I think riding in our current environment is less right now, even with the arrival of good weather. But perhaps that should mean more visits to the forum ? ? As for "no posts" I'm thinking perhaps we have such a vast knowledge base here -we're fortunate!- that it's just searched for soluti...

Thank you, Soliton. Making the water manometer is an idea I've considered many times.It's reliable and affordable;cheap in fact for such a valuable tool. I've also read to run it up to 4000 rpm and check at the higher rpm, too. Some note using a fan to prevent overheating. I may just do that. Also r...

Bogdan, frequent is a play on words .Frequent = freak went.
I've left the wild salad days of my 70's youth :-)

As for the adjustment, I'm five minutes away from a mechanic who has the equipment. Very reliable and noted bike mechanic.
