You know I kind of agree that better running results from use of lower octane fuel (regular) in some cases. When I could get non-ethanol regular my 04RT seemed to run somewhat smoother and did get...

Could it be that you forgot to re-connect one of the TB vacuum ports? Just a thought.
lol..lol..so Veg, you know about californification? Well, you are a wee bit late to prevent that phenomenon as it has happened in a big way as of late. Florence is experiencing growth and land value...
Well, a couple years ago I found myself in Coos Bay at about 2:30AM on a Sunday morning and I needed gas because I was headed for Portland and there was only one station open in the Coos Bay/North...
Well, I guess if you need gas late at night and you are anywhere but on I5 or maybe I84 you might be out of luck and if you live in Oregon or are just passing through and need guess you will just do...
Veg, Oregon has never allowed self serve gas stations and it is mainly the Oregon service station owners association and their influence in Salem that has prevented self serve. They always bring up...
jm, ordered plugs from sparkplugs.com and I actually had looked at their web sight but without the part number I was out of luck. Thanks again. :)
Okey Dokey Russ, glad to hear you guys had a great trip. :wave
JM, got your message and may I say many thanks. :clap
RT Guy, now that is interesting. When I pulled one of the secondaries yesterday and tested for spark and found I had a good strong spark I was relieved to be sure. I am going to install hotter plugs...
Hey deep in the OH wasteland, I think I will follow your lead and switch to a hotter plug also. Pulled one of the secondary plugs and tested for spark and got good spark, whew :clap Thanks for your...
Thanks guys for the input and here is my theory and I might check it out today. On the dual plug model the high voltage coils are integrated in each spark plug cap and both secondary plugs get high...
I don't understand what you are refering to when you say resistance of spark plug caps. Do you mean measure resistance from the cap to ground? If this is what you mean what kind of reading should I...
Recently performed 12K service to 04RT and noticed that there was a marked difference in the color of the secondary plugs and primary plugs. The primary plugs looked perfectly normal in color while...
Oops sorry, I meant to say m-e-e-t. What the hey, I can't spell worth s__t :laugh
Hey Russ Bob and Chris, it was great to meat you guys today and I hope you had a good ride down to the Redwoods. :D

Veg, gas in Oregon is actually cheaper than in Washington and way less than California probably because of the difference in taxes. I have lived in Oregon most of my life and I kind of like someone...
Got it done! :thumb Got a call from DMV this morning and was told that if I could bring the bike in to the Florence office today that they would make every attempt to get the VIN verified. Turns out...
Russ, thanks very much for your support in this. Last night I found that I could remove the parcel compartment that is attached to the inside of the fairing by removing the glass headlight cover to...
DMV office has two persons but only one person handles registration concerns. In the mean time I have learned that VIN# verifications are only done at the Salem OSP office on Wednesdays with an...
Visited the kind of local (60 miles away) dealer today to pick up big blue (R1150RT) after her brake service and told the owner, Scott, about my registration problem. He was helpful and did a VIN#...
Went to the local DMV yesterday to register my '81 R100RT and was told by the state employee that I would have to remove the faring because she could not read the complete VIN#. I told her that the...
Kent, thanks very much for this info. I had found this bolt in the tool kit which I got with the motorcycle and I had wondered what it was for. This explains it. :) The original owners manual was...
Uhhhh Kent, what is the special bolt you refer to???

Hello to all. Have been riding these beemer beasties for awhile ( 'bout 30 or so years ) and recently purchased a 1981 R100RT with only 1900 original miles. Kind of an interesting machine as it was...
