    Transmission questions

    I've found that if I aggressively shift from 1st to 2nd, or from 3rd into 2nd, all is good. If I lazily shift, 2nd doesn't engage completely and it momentarily kicks out before engaging. I'm sure that back cutting and polishing would eliminate the problem but I am not willing to go to the...

    Very cool! 👍 I have to ask though, where can I find a sport windshield like NC 7R1245 has?

    For Sale 05 engine $1500

    Sounds like a good deal for sure but I can't get the wife's approval....yet. 🤨 Maybe if I work on her honey-do list long enough things might change. We'll see.... Thanks, Kevin!

    Aluminum (not black)? No 2nd gear issue? With intake (fuel rail & injectors)?

    For Sale 05 engine $1500

    Out of curiosity, how many miles, has it been apart, known history, how does it run, etc.? Thanks.

    Update....... Seems that 2nd gear issue is still there. I guess I should have taken good advice and sent my shafts w/gears, etc. to Robinson. Oh well, it's still a really nice ride and the problem only shows up if you get on it real hard in 2nd.. Some lessons are more costly and time consuming...

    You are correct, of course.....and I very much appreciate your info & recommendation. :) By the way, isn't there a law against owning that many toys? :laugh:

    Thanks. I will consider this as a possible future upgrade. Right now $400 isn't in my budget. I may have to wait till I sell one of my "extra" bikes. ;)

    I removed the plugs when I righted the engine to check and adjust valve clearances and then re-installed them before installing the engine back in the frame.

    Battery & Headlights

    First, let me say that I was wrong in my assumption that my Rockets didn't have the headlight cutoff feature because of the starter relay. I don't know why I was thinking they didn't. DUH! So.....half the problem doesn't exist. It would be nice to have on/off control though, like you said...

    Battery & Headlights

    I looked up the eastern beaver mod, but @ $100, I think I will research other options.....being the cheap & po guy that I am. Yes, I would appreciate any info you can give me concerning your relay mod.. I can for sure see the logic in not running headlight current through the ignition switch...

    Battery & Headlights

    I don't believe my '05 & '07 have a system as you described, but will check a little closer. I have also never heard of the eastern beaver system but will see what I cam find on that as well. I'm a retired electronics tech and have some abilities along those lines. I much appreciate the...

    Battery & Headlights

    I have two Rockets and I have noticed that the batteries (both new) seem a little on the small size and don't seem to spin the engines very fast or long, compared to my Goldwing & my previous Yamaha XS1100. Their motors are smaller but they have bigger batteries. I plan to order a 12V, 10...

    Transmission questions

    I took my first ride today since the rebuild and it runs and shifts great. I really think that the stouter detent spring is more responsible for the fix than the replacement of the slightly worn and bent shift fork. Regardless, all seems to be great now and the many hours spent was worth it...

    Transmission questions

    I got her back together and she fired up and sounds good. I haven't ventured out yet to see how the transmission shifts due to recent storms and wet roads however. When I first started it, it seemed like forever before the oil pressure light went out. It really had me worried. I was actually...

    The head gasket was in today's mail, so tomorrow I should have her back together. Wish me luck..... ;)

    Transmission questions

    I drained all the oil that I could by removing all 3 drain plugs before removing and inverting the engine. It is possible that the oil film that I was seeing between the head/block came from somewhere else I suppose. When the starter wasn't able to turn the motor and I thought the battery...

    Transmission questions

    I'm pretty sure that you are correct! Yes, the engine was upside down in the "box" that I built to hold it. I don't know why I didn't think of that. And possibly the head gasket didn't leak until trying to turn the motor over with the oil in the combustion chamber (?). Thanks! The next time...
