Re: Very heavy clutch lever, out of ideas
If you are missing balls in the actuator mechanism, that will definitely make a difference. Each missing ball increases friction on the remaining balls. I think the amount of increased friction is on...

Re: More Riders. Yaay!
Actually, a bike in LA (assuming the city, not the state) makes more sense than almost anywhere else. Year round riding weather, parking is at a premium for cars, and you can filter. Less time in the...

Re: Rub black frame back to aluminium
It's painted either silver (03/04) or black (05+), but I have heard that it's possible to have them powder coated (no personal experience) in any color you want.

Re: Apps??
Snailman, would your work allow you to use the "smart-unlock" feature (possibly a Samsung-specific feature) to be used? I have my phone set up to automatically unlock when my helmet comm is connected...

Re: Remove bottoming cones or not?
No - you do not remove them. You are using the stock rods, and modifying them, Everything else stays there with the addition of the valves.

Re: Boots?
I spent a few extra $$ on a set of Daytona boots, as they still look good under pants for work, and are comfortable enough to wear all day.

Re: 2005 650s stalls when engine is warm
Check for leaks around the intakes. I've got a thread about it around here somewhere if you search on my username. The lower seats for the intakes get old and start leaking a little air, which causes...

Re: No headlights
Since it's a 2001, first check the connector at the headlight, then backtrack to the switch. Consider looking into an Eastern Beaver headlight relay kit - it wires from main fuse (I think) to...

Re: Quietest helmet
Try a set of custom formed earplugs. I hear (sic) they are both better at killing noise, and more comfortable than the foam plugs. FortNine (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNSMdQtn1SuFzCZjfK2C7dQ)...

Re: Coming back from an accident
Nothing really to add here, when I crashed I ended up with a bruised rib, and it took a little over a month to get the bike back to being ready to ride, and I was chomping at the bit.

Re: intermittent fault
Check for air leaks on the intakes right off the bat. The rubber seats under the intakes can dry and crack, and create intermittant issues. Get some carb cleaner, and while it's running, squirt a...
