Author Message   Shred Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 12:01 pm:        Happy 4th of July everyone! Ride safe   New12r Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 12:07 pm:        Charlie, Are we or better yet am I setting a new jumping record of the fiddy tomorrow? WHAT THE F? OH, I got it...poor use of a comma. Need to get the pics up.   Odie Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 02:05 pm:        You can't see where it is breaking by pulling the filter and looking down into the throttle body??   New12r Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 03:00 pm:        Odie, well now that I think about it if you pull the throttle back you could see the shaft. New ramp. click to watch vid.   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 09:46 pm:        Nice ramp, but I'll be keeping clear of it. Old age has brought enough pain on it's own without any help from me. In my younger days, I'd be in line for it. Anyone riding tomorrow morning?   New12r Posted on Sunday, July 04, 2010 - 10:30 pm:        Phil and I are riding local dirt.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 12:27 am:        I'll be out all day with my uncle. You're all welcome to join us, but it will be a Harley pace.   Fran_dog Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 08:15 am:        Matt - Where you headed and when?   Sanchez Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 12:50 pm:        We're trying to get our crap together to leave now. I figure we'll be at the Shell around 3:00.   Fran_dog Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 02:11 pm:        Ended up going here and there today. Temple Johnson, Lawrenceville, Buford Dam, and back home. Great day for a ride. I hope we get a few more days like today.   New12r Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 02:50 pm:        Fran, I blew my fork seals at the mx track right there at the end of Temple Johnson! Over shot one of the jumps! LOL. Got it on the go pro as well.   Buellish Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 02:50 pm:        Fran,did you get the pics I emailed after Homecoming?   Fran_dog Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 06:49 pm:        Buellish, I did; thanks for the pics. I also found you Buell hat in my truck. I'll post up my pics sometime here. I didn't take as many as I thought I would or should. New12r, Didn't know there was an MX track out there. How many forks seals have gone through? Lets see that video. (Message edited by Fran_Dog on July 05, 2010)   New12r Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 09:41 pm:        So shred and I cleared 17 ft on the jump, that is enough to get over the creek and a little extra. Then we hit the MX track on the fiddys, We had way too much fun. Prolly wont get any video up till I get back from Fl next week.   Sanchez Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 09:42 am:        Les and I rode up through Clayton to Warwoman, then took 28 north. We spent the night in Cherokee, and we're jumping on the Blue Ridge Parkway today. Hopefully it will go more smoothly than my last BRP trip, and I won't come home on a trailer. :P   New12r Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 09:36 pm:        What bike are you riding sanchez?   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 08:51 pm:        The two-fiddy. We just got back home, and I have to say, it ain't half bad. It's light, it's nimble, and it's smooth. It doesn't have a whole lot of power, but it has enough to get by. The fuel range rocks. I got 65 mpg on the BRP yesterday. That's over 300 miles til it runs dry. It's cool not worrying about making it to the next station.   Twintalon Posted on Friday, July 09, 2010 - 06:43 pm:        When does a TPS reset need to be done? How would I know? 2006 9R, 5,200 miles, factory race can, otherwise stock.   Fran_dog Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 01:10 am:        "When does a TPS reset need to be done? How would I know? 2006 9R, 5,200 miles, factory race can, otherwise stock." Buell recommends a TPS reset to be done at 1000 miles, 10,000 miles, and every 10,000 miles after that. This info is in the owner's manual. http://www.buell.com/om/99475-06Y_en/file-13.asp   Fran_dog Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 11:37 am:        And as far as a TPS needing to be done. There are many accounts of Buell owners correcting a poor running engine, by doing a TPS reset. Also if you were to change out your ECM, or TPS, a TPS reset is needed. I think that is more of what you were asking. A TPS reset is easy to do, if you have the software and cable to connect to the bike. At least a couple locals have what's needed, including myself, so don't go to the dealership to have it done.   New12r Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 06:33 pm:        About to be home in a few hours. Been in Naples all week on biz. Well, kind of. The pres of the company has been feeding me drinks by the pool at mid day. LOL   Riding_tall Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 08:31 pm:        Hay all, been out of town a for a while. been busy lately haven't even been checking on-line. Did a little catching up by reading the archives. Charley, congrats on the promotion. The ramp is great, can't wait to hurt myself .. . err give it a try. Sanchez, bummer on the trip. Making me wonder about my throttle body butterfly shaft. Glad your enjoying the 250 though. Though it's down at the moment, I have a truck and ramps if needed. Goes for any the group here, just call if you need a lift. No point in have a truck if you don't use it. Speaking of that, I may even start hauling the bike up to the mountains. Even on the Uly the ride back is well boring and tiring. Odie, great to hear from you. Hope things are going well. I modified one of your long heat blankets into a short one that goes under the ECU and took the extra to block the vent on the right. Working great. Matt, welcome. This year started out good as far as rides go. Did a few early rides and some exploring .. did a nice scenic ride along the river that comes out of lake burton but then, just to busy or been out of town. Only riding has been to and from work .. and gezz it's hot.   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 10:28 pm:        People suck. Went to dinner tonight and left my S1 parked way out in the far end of the lot. Some jackwagon apparently thought the space was open and backed right into it. Fortunately it just shifted the bike back a couple of inches and didn't knock it over. I'll need a new front fender, though. I REALLY hope this is the last bad thing that's going to happen to me on this vacation.   Kdan Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 06:36 pm:        I love how we keep getting this apocalyptic rain, right at 5:00. How do they do that? I am rockin' the Frogg Toggs!   New12r Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 09:24 pm:        Rain sux. Bike is down anyhow and I got a new summer toy in the works.   Sanchez Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 09:50 pm:        Anyone have an intake manifold wrench? I think I've isolated an intake leak on my S1 to the front seal, but getting the manifold off with a regular 90 degree allen wrench isn't working.   Kdan Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 10:57 pm:        That looks like an Ikea tool. I have like, 12 of them.   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - 08:10 am:        > That looks like an Ikea tool. I have like, 12 of them. Are they 1/4"??   Buellish Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - 08:23 am:        Sanchez,have you tried a ball end right angle allen,held on the short end by a pair of pliers? Or a ball end tee handle?   Twintalon Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - 06:03 pm:        Just make sure you stand on your head, balance a beach ball on your feet, and whistle "She'll be comin down the mountain", or else it won't work.
