yes, it was down. Expired cert?

Are you going to for VFRANON the global missing VFR Cabal conspiracy. Honda is behind it I just know it.  

Yes it was down, I had too many backup files piled up on the server and it ran out of space.  Deleted a bunch of junk and restarted.  Still dont know why it was piling up so much I have it set to delete old stuff. I ran out of time its my work week so I just got it up and running and will trouble shoot the backup thing later.

fuck, hate thieves

I have regional forums best suited for that.

make sure steering head bearings roll smoothly and cups aren't dimpled...

Loose bearings often get noisy when you come to a stop while breaking, you can hear them slapping up and settling back down when brakes are applied and you stop. 

My bike would go wide when I rolled on the throttle out of the turn. I solved this by adding more rebound damping in the forks to prevent the forks from telescoping out once I unloaded them by adding more throttle.  Replace the fork oil too if it's been a few years, same effect. Sounds like you are experiencing poor rebound damping. The 1200 is very front heavy too, so any throttle or breaking is amplified in the handling. Sounds like the dunlops might have a bigger diameter then your old tires. Back off some preload so the bike is not nose up. 

The veefalo (2010 1200vfr standard) has over 60k miles on it, trouble free. It had a recall done on the shaft drive, but the old one showed no sign of failure. Its mostly stock, just a bazzaz bomb, Leo Vince slip on, and k&n air filter. I've done two valve adjustments, the rocker valves tend to need adjustments while the shim under buckets dont. I replaced the spark plugs, but saw no significant signs of worn plugs, iridium plugs are bulletproof. I forgot to replace an oring on the front valve cover, and it smoked oil a bit. I freaked out of course. Took it apart again and found my missing oring. Put in a new one and no more oil smoke. It's been a really reliable bike. 

Its normal, mine does it too.  Pressure regulation of the fuel pump.

I recently updated the forum to the latest greatest always ever changing forum version last week, if you have not noticed.  They put in a popup every time you miss the notification for admins and its really a PITA.  I dont much like upgrading since well most things break when they do offer an upgrade.

This time tap-a-talk has broken, I have been working with the tap-a-talk people and just cant seem to get it to install.  so I have removed it completely for now to keep the forum from crashing, the install would crash every time I tried to install the new version.  

Now however invisonboard has built a mobile application if you prefer to use your phone.  I will try again with tap-a-talk when they release the latest version.  I need to figure out if its a problem with the files or the registry in the database? In any case they seem to have lost my account at tap-a-talk and I cant even find the api number you need for it to work. I am really kind of done with tap-a-talk for now. 

I know a lot of you really rely on tap-a-talk so Im sorry. 

Didit was in Vancouver a little while ago and spoke with Axle and Tammy, said the Covid has made 2021 out of reach probably 2022 at the soonest.

I have tried to reset the editor to default, last idea I have.

Try changing to the default theme, which uses a simpler version of the editor.  scroll to the very bottom. find the word theme and click on it it will offer a default theme.  If this does not work then I dont know.  I searched the invisonboard support forums and they just say its a obsolete IOS. No longer supported.  

Really enjoying watching this project.

found a blown fork seal, replaced it and replaced the fork oil.  Scratched my head on how to take apart the cassette to inspect the valving.  I am thinking of revalveing the cassette but I have no clue how they come apart. I have only worked on older cassettes.  I never liked the compression feel of the forks. 

No in the forum but you can always bookmark the thread in your browser

Nothing, I did nothing, I have a sheet of ice in the alley behind my garage door.  I cant even get the bike out of the garage.

Not conclusively I am pretty sure its a damaged pair system oring like stated in the thread before.  I am not burning oil at a significant rate, my oil level is the same day after day. I will look into it when I do the next service interval.

How do you adjust the rollers?

Like any other roller, gap gauge between the cam and rocker adjust the set screw till the gap is correct and tighten

OP never posted about what he found, though the thread title seems to have changed. @HispanicSlammer, did you find the cause?

Update I did a valve clearance  check, rear cylinder head oring was missing. Replaced it finished the valve check, put it back together. Not smoking anymore. !!

Thanks for the help in identifying the root cause. 

I will have gps route files available after the weekend.  I can either post them up or email them out to those who can use them.
 

Tony you wouldnt happen to have made gps routes for those rides in the mailer have you? somthing I can download to my zumo, old as it is.
