  1. I also chased vibration that I would have sworn was coming from the engine. After a tire shop added 4oz to a new Michelin, I built a simple balancer and started balancing my own tires. The vibration is gone and has never come back. Just one possibility.
  2. I did the same thing with the same result and talked to others here as well as tried their bikes for comparison. The clincher was when the BMW dealer put 3 Oz on my back wheel. That particular case was an anomaly as I think there was something wrong with their mcn but that's when I started balancing my own and noticed a big improvement. I never think about balance anymore. The other thing to try is to tighten up your rear shock damping as I also noted that that caused a jumping on other than perfect roads.
  3. On my old Yamaha TY trials bike, the clutch would be stuck at the start of every ride. Start in neutral or first and drive around with the clutch in till it breaks loose.
  4. I was chasing a vibration for quite a while till I finally started balancing my own wheels. For a long time, I thought it was an engine vibration. Might be something to try. The machine balance from the tire shop was not up to my butt test.
  5. Based on the date, it's likely you already solved this, however, if you didn't or for the sake of anyone else with this issue, I just flipped the throttle bodies up and to the left and never did unplug them.
  6. Depending on how you held it, it could have gotten air in it during removal, transportation, installation. It happens on occasion with my trials bike when it does a few rotations crashing down a hill. Also happened on my 2000vfr when I dropped it on the clutch side.

    Hot wires

    Yes, you are probably correct. Anyone know what gauge the wires are and what the 3 stator legs' amperage is typical/supposed to be?
  8. Stick the fork back in the triple, ready made clamp.

    Hot wires

    But not really fusible, just a built in resistor. As the wire is small gauge, it adds resistance to the circuit. Saves current flow though the stator and rectifier.

    Hot wires

    Someone somewhere has probably said this before but I wonder if the small gauge wires are there intentionally, as a means of limiting the current flow through the pre-rectifier part of the charging circuit?
  11. Don't buy it, piece of junk. Mine has 130 k now, 85 of which I put on it and I still enjoy it every time I ride.
  12. As they say, if it came down to it, I'd rather be pitching than catching.
