I'll know more tomorrow when I see the bike. Definately a winter project but for now I'm going to ride it...
It would be good to meet some of the local yocals and put some faces to these names. How does 10am Thursday (the 17th) at Lynnwood Cycle Barn sound? Can go earlier too. I wouldn't mind meeting up in the afternoon either for you 9-5 fellas as long as I don't spring any major leaks. Let me know. I can be reached at: 206-713-6384.

BTW, Zech, I bought CW's bike off him last year for $7400.

I thought he sold it to someone a ways out, thats cool. I knew I recognized that bike. Its not that often you see one totaly done out and immaculate. Have you talked to CW? I ride with him every now and then
when hes not workin. Im sure he like to see it rollin every now and then. Im out for the morning ride. My wifey is workin and Ive got the kiddos for the day.

Since no one replied with interest to the morning meet, how about meeting up at Lynnwood Cycle Barn at 6pm? Does that work better?

Also a quick question. My bike seems like it's not getting fuel or something at low RPMs (under 4K rpms). It doesn't really "bog" it just seems sluggish, but of course when I crack the throttle open it takes off like a fricken ICBM. There is no Power Commander or anything, only a TRE on a toggle switch which I don't like to run because it knocks the speedometer out when switched on. Anyway it's going to the shop monday for valve adjust and TB sync. Anyone think of anything else? Clogged fuel filter maybe? Thanks.

I had the same problem awhile ago and it turned out my TPS had slipped or maybe I just didn't set it right. It was off and syncing the TBs and setting the TPS got rid of the problem. I would wait and see how it rides after the service. Ask to make sure they are setting the TPS while doing the sync, it should be common knowledge but I would make sure.

I am back on the Westside and have some time off!! Anyone want to set up a ride sometime midweek next week? Would be up for something short or something long, whatever works. For long rides, thinking maybe the North Cascade loop? Or the peninsula? Or how about down to St. Helens... never done that one? Nothing crazy, just a good ride w/ a couple tl's. I am available any day Monday to Thursday. What would work for you all?

God I wish I could take you up on this. Just about ready to be back on the road but about two weeks away from it. Wasting most of this semi-summer on a project that took longer than expected. Will post up when I'm actually ready. Enjoy the rides for me. LOVE IT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
