Getting ready to head up to keosauqua Iowa for the end of summer state line rally. Hope some of you guys from the Midwest show up this weekend

Audible clunk? how's your chain? Is it too loose? Too tight? Stretched in some places and not others?

If it's dripping fuel with the engine off either the float level is wrong or its got leaky needle valve seats.

Are the plugs fouling on you at all? Hanging throttle usually means the carbs are way out of tune. Did you synchronize them?

I really one one of the new triumph cruiser bikes like the America or the Speedmaster.

Ya I would do a compression check first. Is that pipe cooler than the other? If so it's probably flooding and its unburned fuel. how do your plugs look? Is the smoke pure white or does it have a blueish tint? any performance changes since it started doing this?

The master links on these chains are just a slightly different color and the ends of the little metal rods just get smashed to hold it on. You can spot it because there are little holes through the rods to smack with a punch. They are pretty much 1 time use links

We all agree on texting being stupid at least right?

Agreed 100% I would never ever tell someone to take off their gear just because I ride in a tshirt boots jeans and a half helmet. In fact I know im a hippocrit about it but when my lady rides with me she is not allowed on without full gear head to toe

Feels like beating a dead horse but ill say it again. Some people wear full gear some dont some wear full face some wear 3/4 or 1/2 helmets but we all take risks every day. If we weren't willing to take some risk none of us would ride a motorcycle in the first place. Its just a matter of the...

Did you pay to have that professionally raked? If so how much did it run you?

or In my case not a dime. (liability and medical only)
