Rattle driving me crazy my son in law gave me a hand remove from plastic nose, now need a game plan some ideas tomorrow lowes for weather stripping thin and skinny I can find. taking it apart on my Zodiac took about 1 hour I thinking and assembly about 3 hour. It will be trial and error hope then rattle and squeaks end but I be happy if 70 percent are gone.

Rejetted my main from its stock 105 to a 108. First time ive really gotten into my bike and played with it im stoked, it pulls so much better now. Also drilled out my af screw and richened it up a bit. Minecame super lean probably to pass californias crazy standards, its much happier after I richened the mix up. Much more power. im wondering if I should try the 110, gota do some plug chops I guess. Love tinkering on my new bike, so much less frustrating than working on my volvo haha, and I can actually afford gas and parts for it.

I hated to part with the money, but I broke down and spent the $2.42 necessary to do an oil change. After 7,000 road failure free miles, guess I shouldn't begrudge it an oil change every 600 miles. Also checked and drained my catch can (do this every other oil change), so after 1,222 miles it contained just 6.8 cc's (that's .23 ounces in American), of laquer thinner smelling, watery, brown, condensed gases.....So blowby is almost non exsistant in my Chinese made wonderment.....at least for now

Since the wife broke her arm (not just fractured like we thought), she won't be riding for a few months. Took off the faulty vacuum petcock and installed a manual one. Also changed the fuel filter.  Since I was playing around decided to find out why the horn wasn't working. Took ALL the plastics off just to find out I only needed to take off the front that had NO screws. Horn doesn't work so need to order a new one. What are these plugs though?  ? One goes to the head lights (the four wire). The other three I have no idea. Pretty sure none of them go together.  |

Welded new mounting tabs on my Givi top case, reset the clip on the left rear turn signal and buffed out the road rash on my Puig Sport Fairing as the start of repairs from when I dumped the bike at 40 mph earlier this year. A little spot putty and paint will put the rest back to like new. Those Aprilia are built like tanks and hold up pretty well in a crash.
