  New bike suggestions

  What Rex said.  Bikes are a personal choice.  These days you can get power out of and BIG motor so I would conetrate more on a bike that fits your riding style and you just like the way it looks.  Good Luck

  • Brewer I was just wondering if any others out there have a bell on their scooter? I gave one to my buddy recently when he got a new bike. Traded his Gold Wing in for a Road King. I explained the legend behind it and wished him the best of rides and roads.

The alam will go off if the battery is connected no matter what position the ignition switch is in.. off, on, acc... does not matter the thing is ear peircing. Now if I take the inline fuse out of the alarm power wire, It will only go off if the thumb switch is turned to the run position. Either way the bike will not run. It will turn over but will not start. It did this to me when I first got the bike home and put a new battery on it, I also changed out the battery in the fob and still nothing.. I really cant get the fob to do anything other than make the little red light go off when you push the button. I some how pushed enough buttons and turned the switch off and on enough to get it to start and run. Went out riding and everything.. No issues, then let it sit for a bit and the battery died and now Im back to square one. If anyone has anything that can help me out. Thanks in advance.  less

There are no fluid leaks only air getting in to the system.

Today took a 20 mile detour along the river, some tight turns, no traffic ,and Uly got to show off what Uly does best.  What a wonderful beast.   Have at least another month before Little Mother can be fully functional, will always have some pain and will never have her full strength back in her left hand but she will be satisfied if she has control of her kitchen again.  less

This is one of the few things I have never changed myself. Are there special tools required to change the wheel bearings?, or can I just knock them out from the inside and tap new ones in with a wood block and rubber mallot?

  Road King Front Brake Issue

The front brake pads are about 25% worn, so they are not new but there is still plenty left. When I was riding all of the sudden I went to use the front brake and it grabbed at the slightest touch, and grabbed hard! (kind of like a brand new set of brakes).  It did this for about 3 or 4 brakings and then went back to its normal operation where I would have to pull it in a bit and they would grab propotionally to the force on the lever. Then did the same thing a couple more times where the amount of pull on the lever required would vary drastically. Now my first instinct is to bleed the system, which I will do today.  Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is anything eles I should look at.  less

  Puzzled.

My baby fired right up! Here we are a month later when I noticed oil pooled in the transmission pocket directly below the starter. My bike had no leaks prior to this so I suspected my starter install. I checked the primary fluid and yep, that is where it is coming from.   What did I miss? Is there a trick I do not know about? I want to cure this leak, but wanted to ask you guys if I overlooked something in my initial install, or if you knew of any tips or tricks? Thanks! Dave.  less
