    Engine is making oil.

    Thank you Claviger, I was getting a complex about this. She stalls, I"m like WTF, then overcompensate with the throttle and drag the clutch.:rolleyes: Now I can blame it on the bike;)

    Engine is making oil.

    Thank you Kevin. And thanks to everyone else for your comments and suggestions. I've noticed now, that after a long run on the interstate she idles rough and will stall easily (of coarse the stalling part might be because I'm running rough after the interstate). In the morning she idles great...

    Engine is making oil.

    Well I'm feeling like an idiot. I just checked the oil and it's 1/8" over the mark. Looks a normal color now. I'm wondering if maybe I got a bad tank of fuel and that's why she's idling rougher. It was this rougher idle that got me overthinking and worrying. On a side note though, I do smell gas...

My next stop is/was going to be Nashville TN. I'm assuming that it is an injector problem. Are these a...

    Older rocket

    Thanks for the reply. Last year to make it home in time I spent 3 long days in the saddle at high speeds on the interstate and ON highways. The wind burnt me out. Up until that point I never considered a windshield. I'm not crazy about the looks of big windshields, but comfort is starting to...

    What kind of windshield is on your 14? Does it help a lot? I like the fact that it's not too big.

    Question about classic floorboard controls on roadster

    Sorry, but I have nothing constructive to add. I was just wondering, if you need to change the rails to add the boards, would be willing to sell the roadster rails, pegs and controls?

    Older rocket

    Last summer I went on a 2 week ride with my 05 Rocket. Left from Timmins and made it to the Grand Canyon, then back home. Followed Route 66 a bit.
