Damn bike

[REDR6]

I thought it was just my phantom tail light. But now it is a hesitation under throttle, with the oil light going on and a couple other things. Who isn't busy tomorrow?

[a43-Dan]

what are the other things?

[REDR6]

a wierd noise from the left side of the bike, the rear brake crunches a little, and suspension needs to be set up

[a43-Dan]

i'm a little confused, are you having a problem with your bike that you need help with or are you just saying that you need to get alot of maintenance done?
or both?

Definately check your oil level... I think it's really bad to your engine components if you have insufficient oil. If that's the case, you shouldn't be running your bike at all.

How many miles do you have on your bike? I had some hesitation while winding up my bike, it was my spark plugs. Definitely check your oil and plugs.

[REDR6]

I know its the plugs and oil. The only problem is I have no place do do it or any tools for that matter.

[speedster1219]

[REDR6]

Jon, what are you talking about, you're in the miltary- Hobby Shop! :cool:

[REDR6]

I'm not on base. I'm in El Cajon. Plus, I'm not that experienced and might need help. You know as well as I do, if you ask a Marine a question, wheather he knows the answer or not, he knows the answer. The last thing I need right now is a broke bike.

Yeah Jon, but you "could" go on base. 32nd St has a hobby shop. It's like $5/hr to rent as many tools as you need and you get your own space! When I used to work at 32nd, I always wrenched on my car at the Hobby Shop! ;)

[REDR6]

I could, but if I get to something that confuses me, then what? I don't even have a comp to ask you guys how to unf*** what I did.

[dre_2k2_f4i]

If it's anything like an '03, you are going to hate the "heat shield" when you go to remove the spark plugs.

[speedster1219]

I have some tools....but I dont know crap about those yammi thingies...but lets see...Just go to HOuse of Motorcycles..and buy some spark plugs and some Golden SPectro...and an oil filter..

[REDR6]

I'm goin.

[REDR6]

Can anyone help me today? Right now more speciffically?

[REDR6]

Doesn't anyone have a garage I can temporairaly hijack?

I found a place with tools, and also found out why these things cost so much in labor when they go to the dealership. Maybe its my inexperience, or the fact that this thing is a total B***H, but it took me 2 hours to change freakin damn spark plugs.
