I don't know that they need air to function properly at all. The air is just additional support when adding weight. The air does tend to force the oil into the actual shock, tho. They should technically be firmer/harder on the downstroke tho....being weak in that direction kinda defeats the...

The shocks should dampen in both directions. However...if you have them disassembled, they will not operate the same as they do when assembled, and full of oil. With no, or little oil, there is nothing to resist the movement of the piston. Also, with the factory type, air assisted shocks, the...

Installed new battery last nite. Fired up this merning within a couple of seconds, no problem. I'll not be totally convinced until it sits over the weekend, but I believe the battery was most likely the problem. I did load test the "old" battery....and it passed that test. Strange....anyway, we...

It is AGM, same as I have been using for years. We'll see how it starts up in the morning. This morning, I went ahead and hooked a jump box up first, and it started right up immediately, no fuss no muss. I have a new AGM setting here now to put in it, same brand/size that it has already....just...

Update: Went out and checked cranking voltage. It's been sitting since Monday without starting, maintainer plugged in. Cranking voltage dropped down to just a smidge over 9 volts...but wouldn't fire.🙄😒 Hooked up jump box, crank voltage stayed above 10 volts, and fired right up. Battery was...

Thanks! I know very well the issue of it not wanting to start with a weak batt/low voltage, hence the maintainer at all times while parked(at home). It's possible, I s'pose, the batt is getting weak....it's 3 years old, I think. Bike starts fine anytime after the initial day or more scenario...

Dadgummit! Recently, as in the past few months, my 1500 has been a lil cantankerous when starting after sitting over the weekend, or longer. Cranks fine, but just don't wanna fire off for a while. During the cranking process, it sometimes will backfire(LOUDLY) thru the left side exhaust once...

So it is making noise but the speedo is NOT working, correct? I would have to assume at this point the issue is within the speedo head itself. Don't know of anyplace to send it to, sorry. Might be worth a shot to remove the cluster and take a look...might be a simple fix. I would probably see if...

Not yet, but will this weekend. 👍

Lately, I've been hearing a strange noise from the front of the engine on the Green Weenie. It's not loud, but I can hear it...kind of a scraping/rattling noise. I think one of the belt tensioners is taking a doo-doo. Most of youse folks know some of the troubles I created for myself on The...

Was it making any noises before it quit? Getting to the cable connection at the dash cluster is a pita. It's easy enough to disconnect, but it's impossible to re-connect without removing the tupperware/windshield/gauge cluster. I've tried many times on mine....I just can't do it. Perhaps smaller...

How's erryone doin out there? Lil bit slow around the forum this week! Cold weather stuff is suckin a big fat one for me, and I'll be glad when it warms up to above freezing for a change. Bought a new storage building to be built in my back yard, and I been attempting to get the area leveled...

Here's "Old Blue" & "New Blue" side by side...

:ROFLMAO: I also own a Goldwing....;) :LOL: The amount of tools I own require a large box(or 3) to put them in. I have accumulated a substantial amount of tools mainly for my job, as it requires a lot of specialty stuff.

Never thought of it as a collection...tho I do have several of just about everything. Can never have too many tools...just not enuff space! 😂

:ROFLMAO:Yeah...I'll get right on that....😁 Dang thing is HOME, finally!! Glad to have it here, but not so happy about the loss of space for other stuff....like my battery charger....it's gunna be a problem. I'll figure sumptin out.... Loaded up Backer up In the garage Top locker...
