    Best Service in So Cal.

    Thanks Mule, I dropped her off today and it seemed to be a good experience. 20 minutes after I left I got a call that they had figured it out. Although they had not heard of it happening before, the crank angle sensor had gone bad and would not send a message to fire the coils. They ordered it...

    Best Service in So Cal.

    Spoke to Art at Doug Douglas today and made an appointment for first thing in the morning. He seemed to think that although it could be a number of things it also appears to be something simple. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the replies, it's always reassuring to get a recommendation since it'll...

    No S. Cal. captains with a positive experience at a dealer? Was going to go to Doug Douglas as it is the closest, but alas they are closed Monday's!

    Best Service Dept. in So Cal.?? Any So. Cal. Captains who've had a good experience at a dealer's service dept.? I've got my '05 standard trailered up and am ready to take her for diagnostics.

    Something leaking

    I had a leak driving me nuts for about 4 months and just figured it out last week. It was clear and oily, but would disapate into the concrete on the garage floor. Turned out to be coolant that leaked out of the 14mm hex plug on the right rear of the engine block, right in front of the...

    Removing melted plastic from exhaust pipe

    This sounds nuts, but when I melted some boot on my Speedmaster pipe many years ago I waited 'til the pipe got nice and hot then wiped it of with an old cotton T-shirt!

    Heat-related problem

    Just a thought, tomorrow after work, go to a local watering hole and pound a few brewsky's. Wait 'til the weather cools down and then ride home and see what happens.:D

    Heat-related problem

    Almost sounds like vapor lock. Have you done any re-arranging of the fuel lines lately? Does the fan kick in when hot?

    Poor Gas Mileage...?

    Both mods aren't necessary unless you have the TORS tune. I got the gipro but because of the tune I don't get the most out of it.

    Poor Gas Mileage...?

    The secondary removals are a big gas eater mod as they are fully open in all gears. I've resisted doing it so far, but it's tempting. I can get <20 mpg around town just because the sound of cat bypass and TORS in second gear is better than, maybe equal to, a U2 concert:D

    Anyone else had an exhaust leak?

    I always try to blame it on something, but my wife blames it on BREATHING AIR!

    Exhaust leak fixed with metal plumber's tape

    Hope it works for you as well. I may be nuts, but the down side is I think it sounded better with the leak! Sure won't miss smelling exhaust fumes at idle though.

    Exhaust leak fixed with metal plumber's tape

    Well I had posted about an exhaust leak where the header meets the cat. bypass. Since I really didn't want to tear the whole system apart, I figured I'de just try to tighten the clamp. The existing clamp was bottomed out and still leaking so I went to try and find a slightly smaller one at a...

    Anyone else had an exhaust leak?

    Funny how I always thought that my Rocket being a Southern California bike, that is always garaged and never in the rain, would be immune to the ignition switch problems. I like the idea of having the headlights switched regardless and will order the harness soon. You're right about there being...

    Anyone else had an exhaust leak?

    Thanks HellFire, you've answered all my questions in one post! Now on an unrelated problem, my low idle issue has turned into a fast idle issue.:confused: Time to go back to search engine.

    Anyone else had an exhaust leak?

    Exhaust leak? I got up this morning with the intention of fixing an exhaust leak I noticed the other day with some RTV silicone. It's where the header collector meets the cat by-pass. After taking the heat covers off it looks like I'll need to take the whole exhaust system apart from the header...

    Dial sweeps, lights come on then CLICK and nothing

    Thanks and I certainly will keep the new relay installed. I'm hoping that because I don't ride her in the rain, cept for once ;), and live in a dry climate, I won't have to visit the ignition switch issue for a long time if ever.

    Dial sweeps, lights come on then CLICK and nothing

    Well, I've experienced alot of bad battery symtoms in my day, but not this one. Although my trickle charger showed a full charge, there must have been a bad cell. Put a new one in and I'm baaaaaack in the saddle again!

    Dial sweeps, lights come on then CLICK and nothing

    Anybody want to buy a like new starter relay? I'll have to do more diagnostics tomorrow.

    Dial sweeps, lights come on then CLICK and nothing

    I've not been conviced it's the ignition switch and because of the loud click coming from the starter relay I took a $12 gamble and ordered one up. Will let you know tomorrow how it works out. Thanks again for the response.
