    EX500 Build

    Hey guys got a few more updates today, and I finally went for my first ride on the EX. First, I relocated the ignition. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out: And another view: Other than that I just did little things like bleeding the brake, torqueing bolts, etc. But anyway here's some...

    EX500 Build

    Some more updates: I made these for the airbox but it turned out there is less clearance from the frame so I had to scrap them: I just ended up gluing the pieces right onto the airbox rather than part of the cover. Removed the pillion pegs and freed up a bunch of room under the tail...

    Strange stuff in coolant reservoir. . .

    Don't flush the whole system just take the reservoir off first and find out what it is

    Cutting down Yoshi Pipe!!?

    I think this would fit the bill. You could probably buy the tools you need for the job and still come out paying less than 1 hour of labour. http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?109734-Exhaust-Chop

    Short-term insurance

    Hey guys, I'm looking for insurance for 3-4 weeks for a trip. Does anyone know if this is possible in any way? Whats the shortest policy I can get if not?

    Awesome that would be great, thanks Scott. I'll send you a PM about them. And yes I switched back to the stock rotors.

    Lower Cowl: I had a slightly broken lower cowl that I wanted to try to fit to see if I liked how it looked but this bike was either missing the mounts or they were just too bent out of shape and wouldn't line up. Here are the ones I made: and the cowl mounted: I think I'll keep it.

    Subframe Modifications With my tail done, I had a whole lot of subframe left over that was sticking out under my fairing. Since I have the solo cowl on there I figured I wont be riding 2 up anyway so I can play around a bit with the lower rail. Here's what I did. Basically I cut off the rear...

    Help, battery not charging while running also ignition problem.

    That probably means you're doing it wrong. Unless your battery is completely dead there should be some potential difference across the terminals. Was your DMM on the DC voltage setting? Probes in the right sockets?

    Front wheel alignment

    Did you crash? Are you looking at the triple tree or the clip ons? If the triple tree is facing forward for sure and your wheel isn't then: 1. Raise front of the bike 2. Loosen all clamps holding the forks and the axle. 3. Hold wheel between legs 4. Grab forks with hands and twist relative to...

    Help, battery not charging while running also ignition problem.

    The stator is the stationary half of the alternator. You can remove the alternator cover to check it out, but an easier way to check would be to get a multimeter and probe at the battery while the bike is revving at around 2-3k rpm. If the voltage is below 13.5-14V then you know your charging...
