Spark Knock and Bad Fuel availability!!

I know this subject is targeted more for the riders of older bikes, as I'm well aware that newer bikes with EFI may have anti-knock sensors that eliminate or reduce the problem. However, I also know that my friend's '03 Road King has EFI, and he is now developing a Spark Knock problem....so perhaps the intended audience will be expanded over the summer. I have 2 HDs...both very similar, but one is virtually free of any spark knock and the other is plagued with it. Both are TC88 motors bored out to 95 CID, and both are carburated. Both have the Screamin' Eagle Ignition Module, both have 2-into-1 exhausts, and both are 'cam'd'. One is an "A" motor on my '00 Dyna (which has NO spark knock) and the other is a "B" motor on my '01 Fatboy. Needless to say, they both get the same gas from the same pump. So, why does one bike perform so differently from the other? Let me just say that I've had this 'discussion' with countless Harley experts, and the opinions are as diverse as the individuals themselves. But...before getting into the 'bike' issue.....let me mention fuel itself. This is a problem that's been around for years, and in some areas it's not getting any better. We're now being faced with all kinds of processes that add oxidizers, detergents, lubricants, and the other day I saw some kind of new 'Technium' additive that really seemed like nothing more than a new way to market the gas. But, the bottom line is that "FUEL" is FULL of additives that can affect this problem. Especially if you get a fuel that has a high level of alcohol incorporated into the mix. So, BEWARE of what's coming out of the pump!! As to the bikes......I can only say that I've dealt with this problem for two summers now....and as I see the temps getting warmer, I'm now starting to hear that classic rattle more frequently. I fear the day when I go to accelerate around a car and I drop a piston from detonation erosion. I may have to pull the heads of my motor just to check my pistons before another summer of riding. But, I am interested in any and every posting that gets submitted....and I hope to learn from them. I've been takin' apart motorcycle engines for nearly 50 years now......but I know I've got plenty to learn! So, any ideas or suggestions....please let me know. Thanks for reading this!! WC

Ultima 65mm Inverted Fork Problems

Just wanted to issue a warning to ebayers intending to purchase or sell Ultima's new 65mm inverted front ends. As a retailer of this product, I think it is very important that everyone is aware of a potentially dangerous situation. I recently sold and installed a set of these forks. Upon installation, I noticed a MAJOR design flaw in the axle and axle retaining portion of the forks. The design will allow the axle to slide from side to side if any heavy side loads are applied, i.e. high speed cornering. I noticed this problem and brought it to the attention of the manufacturer. I was told an "engineer" would be in contact with me to discuss the problem. No return call. I contacted them a second time and got the same answer. Still, no return call. I thought I found a way to prevent the problem and naively installed the forks anyway. About 75 miles after the bike left, the wheel walked to the left and locked up the wheel and caused a crash. I am now in a huge mess over this, and while I am taking full responsibility over what happened, I am very angry that the manufacturer has yet to contact me about the problem. The short of this is, until Ultima fixes the problem, be aware of the potential dangers here. As a retailer, you could be named in a lawsuit. As a consumer, you could end up with serious injuries or even death. Sorry to be a downer, but I just want to see everyone safe. Keep the rubber side down.

Shipping motorcycles

I recently made my first eBay motorcycle purchase. I arranged for Daily Direct to pick it up and deliver it to a local dealer. The price seemed fair enough. The communication has been lousy and the process has been terribly slow. I don't want to slam these folks as they may be a perfectly good company, but I'm a little taken aback at how slow it is and was curious about what other folks were doing about shipping motorcycles long distances.

Honda 1981 CB650 Custom starter clutch question

I just bought one of these bikes and the only problem, aside from needing a new chain and normal wear and tear, is the starter clutch. We opened her up and it just flat-out needs replacing. I keep finding them all over the place for cb750s, but wonder if those will fit mine. Some parts, I know, are interchangeable. Is this one? If not, any ideas as to where a cheap one is? A new 750 clutch is around $80, but a new 650 is around $140 or so. Seems like a big leap. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. New bike owner here and fishing for knowledge. Thanks!

1965 Cushman Spec -- Need info, please

Hello, all. My husband passed away recently and he was an avid Cushman buff. I have a 1965 black Cushman that hubby said didn't work. It has been sitting for a long time and it also has both tires flat. The machine looks to be in good condition (body wise) and I'm not sure what doesn't work. He probably bought it to refurbish it and never got around to it. You should have seen some of the old Cushman's he did refurbish -- they caught everyone's eye, that's for sure. My question is: Do you think this machine has any value to the collectors? Would it be better to sell it "As Is For Parts"?? I can't take a pic of it right now because it is wedged in a corner and it has stuff in front of it. It is very heavy so I'll have to wait for help to move it and get a pic. Any information you give me will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dar S

Red Barron Choppers

For those of you that are thinking about buying a Red Barron/DHC frame from ebay. STOP. And read the disscussion below. Not only have I had horrible experience with them, they have bad reviews posted all over the internet. Here is my experience. I had a similar problem with DHC. I bought a frame (Switchblade 250) off eBay around the same time as you did and it took over 7 weeks to get it. No updates or anything from DHC/Red Barron. They are one of the companies that will take your money first and then build the part. I have had noting but problems with the frame. I have had to cut the frame to get the engine to fit. I had to cut the upper motor mount to get the Engine to fit. It doesn't come with axle stops, so I ordered some from them so I could weld them on, and they sent me galvanized hex bolts to weld on the frame. Most recently, and the reason I have posted this is that I went to install a set of forward controls and the left side tapped holes are off center for the controls to mount. I tried both a set of PM controls, and a set of Hammer Customs (Which by the way are excellent controls). I called DHC/Red Barron and Daniel Howe told me that they have been getting lots of calls about the same problem and that all aftermarket parts are not the same design, and that they can't make it to fit all. Everyone knows that this is a line of S**t. All 3-bolt configurations are the same. The holes that DHC drilled and tapped are just off enough to not work. DHC didn't offer to send a new plate to weld on. They told me to drill out the holes and bolt them on with nuts on the back. POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. I would NOT Recommend this builder. They are seedy and inexperienced. When it comes down to it, they are an armature in a big boys business. They don't build quality products and offer poor customer service. DONT BUY FROM THIS BUILDER.

Misleading Sale of Item

"What can be done if an item is being sold on eBay and the seller is misleading the bidders with false information !! Example: A vehicle is for sale, the seller says it was wet but not under water! After researching the vehicle in question, I find that it was in a fire and totalled by an insurance company. The seller goes on to say that it was a little rusty, (so he powdercoated it)whereas, the pics from the insurance sale reveal a burned up vehicle. I have proof of the insurance sale. I just know that this is misleading and don't want to see anyone get hurt with the said vehicle." This is on a motorcycle frame that got really toasted. You and I both know what heat does to a frame. Let me know what I can do to keep this sly seller from profiting on something dangerous.

BEWARE OF DAS!!! (Dependable Auto Shippers)

Based on ebay's recommendation, I arranged to ship a vehicle I purchased using DAS ("Dependable" Auto Shippers). I am writing to warn everyone that DAS is not only UNdependable, but also downright dishonest and completely unresponsive, and I think that ebay should stop recommending them. I knew that I would be going out of town soon, so I paid the extra money for DAS' "expedited" service, and in return they promised me that the car would be delivered within 10 days. But by using DAS' online tracking system, I noticed that the car wasn't moving anywhere. I tried calling DAS customer service, but I just got the runaround. Finally, after 6 days, they admitted that the car would not arrive on time. But it wasn't just a matter of being one or two days late. They now said that it would arrive 10 days late, double the time of their original estimate! I tried to speak to a supervisor, but despite numerous calls and messages left, I still haven't been able to speak to one. I just continue to get the runaround! Now, the car is scheduled to arrive when I will be out of town, and I have no idea what to do. There are plenty of other auto shippers out there, so take my advice and use one of them instead! I just wonder what ebay gets out of this deal that they keep recommending DAS.

I bought my ltz400 in 2002 and paid on it for about a year and a half, I came across some financial problems and stopped paying on it figuring it would just get repoed by the bank. Since the I have never heard anything about it it's not even on my credit report and the dealer I bought it from went out of business shortly after I bought it. So I don't know what to do, I would love to sell it because I have 2 kids now and a house so I don't have time to ride it. Please give me some advice.

Please assist me if you can...need help pricing a Wmn's HD jacket...

Hello all I am hoping I'm not intruding, but I need to assist someone in selling their HD jacket. I am hoping to list the following authentic (definately- they purchased it from the HD store in Indianapolis Indiana) women's jacket for a friend who is now divorced, somewhat disabled, and needs the money for living expenses. I have searched Ebay and Google and everywhere else high and low and cannot find (a) the same jacket anywhere (b) a starting bid price or if there's even a market for it. Hoping someone here can help. If you can help it's much appreciated. Here's some pics and I have them saved over at Photobucket for larger viewing. I'll post the links: Again if anyone can help that would be great. She also has some leather chaps and another jacket, but none of those are HD and are in not pristine condition. She does have a Pendant that a local dealer only wanted to give her $15 for (they paid well over $300) This particular jacket is and my understanding is that it was only worn a handfull of times. Link Link Link Thanks again- I am hoping I'm not intruding but need to help her out and want to do so in the best way possible...Jenn

engine bogs down

A 1974 Honda XL70 - just had a new carb kit put in - starts and idles fine- but when in neutral, if you open the throttle quickly it bogs down and stops running - when in neutral, if you open the throttle up 3 times or so, but not with a quick snap, then the 4th time and thereafter you can "snap accelerate" it without a miss or hesitation - the idle and air mixture are adjusted correctly - so what do you think? Thanks for your help, Dave

Need help diagnosing problem w/ 1995 cr 250 PLEEEAASE!!

Ok so I bought an older bike off ebay and drove 6 hours to pick it up. I bought an older 1 so I could learn how to do some work on it. It started and ran fine w/ the exception of the kick started slipping every other kick. Anyway, the neighbor took off the carborator to "show me" all about it. He also showed me how to check the plug to see if the bike is running to lean/rich or just right. Of course it was to rich, why should it be ok. lol.. Anyway.. he moved the ring up 1 on the pin and I have had trouble getting it to stay started ever since. I put the ring back where it was and just adjusted the "screw" for the air mixture on the carberator to try to lean it out a bit. However, I still cannot get it to stay started. It will turn over and start once and then I have to clean off the spark plug and put it back and then It will start once again and then die and I have to clean the plug again before it will fire. I thought raising the ring was supposed to lean it out but it seams that I am flooding it all out.. When I picked it up the guy said he doesn't choke it to start it.. he just kicks it over 4=5 times and it is good to go. I'm not sure but there is probably a reason he didn't choke it. Either way I would like to make everything staight on the bike and I would like to do it myself. I live in albuquerque, NM and the altitude is around 4000 I believe. Anyway taking that into consideration. PLEASE HELP I have the clymers manual and am reading through it but I would love some help and advice if anyone had any. Thanks so much. ps. any help with the slipping kick starter would be cool too.

Charging problem

I have an 84 goldwing 1200. It had been charging at about 12.5 to 13 volts when first started then after running for five minutes or so it quit charging altogether and the battery would discharge while running. I changed the voltage regulator with a known good one. It charged at 14.5 volts for the first few minutes, then quit working. After letting the bike sit for an hour I started it again and it did the same thing as the original regulator, only putting out about 12.5 volts. The stator tests good and is only a couple years old. Does anyone have an idea what could cause the regulator to burn out like this?

Gold Wing idle problem

I have an 84 GL-1200 Honda. It idles fine when cold, but after it gets warmed up it wants to run at about 2400 rpm and creeps up from there. The problem seems to be worse the warmer the air tempurature is. Has anyone had a problem like this or have any ideas?

Sales Drop Leads To Temporary Harley-Davidson Layoffs

Sales Drop Leads To Temporary Harley-Davidson Layoffs POSTED: 12:00 pm EST November 26, 2007 UPDATED: 12:13 pm EST November 26, 2007 YORK, Pa. -- Layoffs are under way at the Harley-Davidson plant near York. Harley is temporarily shutting down production due to a drop in motorcycle shipments. Workers are receiving health care benefits during the one-week layoff, but they aren't getting a paycheck. The Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker told workers in September that it would shut down its assembly plants in Springettsbury Township and Kansas City, Mo., for the week of Nov. 26. Also being shut down for the week are three operations in Wisconsin

Great Shipping Tip for motorcycles.....!?

I know that many ask for.....? "Whats the Best way to ship a MC"? I'm always gonna say "freight" but, keep in mind ALL fluids must be drained and maybe without a battery for the best price? Keep in minda also that a FULL enclosure may? be required by the shipper. I've shipped a few bikes by freight (full enclosure) and mebbe spent 10hrs building the darned "crate" and another what? $100 in materials I was in my local HD store for some "freebe" stuff today and had to park waaaay around the back. They had stacks of steel shipping pallets WITH eyelets for tiedowns. Front, Back and both sides "forkliftable" built. I asked Sevice Dept "What do ya do with them"? "Send them back to the factory" AND the other service guy says "Or we sell them for $50"..... "Sweeeeeet" I'm thinkin 6hrs less to crate up

LOUD PIPES - Did you get a ticket?

I was reading the "Loud pipes save lives" discussion. Is there really is a $$$ crack down and if so where are you almost guaranteed to get ticketed? Have you been ticketed for loud pipes? Do you know how loud your pipes are? Where were you when you were ticketed?(Town, State, Country and if you remember, the road) Did the cop use a Decibel meter? How much was the fine or did you get a "Fix-It" ticket? I am sure this information will be of great service for all riders if there truly is a trend.
