    Custom/Hybrid My $1700 MSD solenoid problem

    For me, yanking on the battery to solenoid wire worked to kill it. If it happens only once, you have to replace the solenoid anyway as it can happen again. Connectors are just something else to fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom/Hybrid OEM front cover gasket - who knew?

    I’m a fan of the OEM front cover because it’s the smallest and lightest available, and this ‘discovery’ with the OEM gasket takes my only pain point away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom/Hybrid OEM front cover gasket - who knew?

    Had to fill a cart for free shipping so bought an OEM Yamaha front cover gasket as a spare. Noticed it had a sealer on both sides - I never knew this. Sure pricier than A/M felt gaskets, but no 1211 scraping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom/Hybrid My $1700 MSD solenoid problem

    ...and this $13 shipped trim solenoid looks remarkably close to the MSD solenoid, doesn't it?

    Custom/Hybrid My $1700 MSD solenoid problem

    This journey began with an MSD starter solenoid going bad, sticking closed, and ultimately caused wallet carnage of ~ $1700. yep, after adding it all up, including shipping of parts, my friggin MSD starter solenoid(s) going bad cost me $1700, not including the alcohol nor my non-existent time...

    Custom/Hybrid Replacing bendix bushing(s)

    On the McMaster Carr bushings (solid bore) I use grease and a 12mm precision ground rod and they pop out like butter. With OEM bushings with the grease groove inside, i like using the tap method. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom/Hybrid Replacing bendix bushing(s)

    I plan to post another thread about how much money an MSD starter solenoid going bad cost me, and my experience with MSD solenoids and MSD themselves, but for this I thought I’d share how I replaced my bendix bushings in case and front cover in 5 mins without heat, nuts/spacers, or a dremmel...

    Fx1 pump

    I put in a Dasa 850 and 144 pump in mine many years ago. Yep, more hookup and bottom end for sure, but I can honestly say it wasn’t necessarily more fun. A lot of work, and a lot of details to get it right (like hogging out the intake). Doing it over, I’d skip the pump and stay with a JM built...

    Freestyle Best lithium battery for total loss?

    ^ Same here, after one went bad this year. The newer AG's have o-rings between terminal and case. A single layer of electrical tape around seam as insurance won't hurt and you can remove for warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Freestyle Best lithium battery for total loss?

    I can understand how the wrong charger and/or overcharging could cause a problem. But are you suggesting spontaneous combustion is also possible? I've used lithium batteries in RC and ski's for years without issue, and even had them in motorcycles with 'standard' charging system. Means...

    There's rope. Your idea would work you make it adjustable on the front cover bolts to ensure complete contact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's your view look like today?

    I think it's a good balance between form and function, and one of the most beautiful pseudo-American designs. The motor is pulled back and front wheel are pushed forward extending the nose but also giving amazing balance. Rear, eh.. kinda just ends. But business is over at that point. The...
