I'm trying to breathe some fresh air into this old forum thread from 2012-13. The subject is: RTV900 mufflers. The problem is: the bolts mounting the tailpipe to the muffler on my RTV900 are rotting out and my tailpipe is hanging on by a thread. Years ago, I removed the spark arrestor, not...

Here's a link to a page of trailer light kits available at Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/trailer-lights.html

Doc: Yes ... toothpaste works. I'm guessing toothpastes and Novus plastic polish all contain fine bits of pumice packed in a watery paste. Sixty years ago, or thereabouts, I made a letter opener in shop class ... cut out a letter opener shape on a slab of plexiglass, then shaped it down to a...

Clearing up haziness and scratching in plastic headlight cover is a piece of cake. Novus plastic cleaners are the solution. You can get the stuff in just about any motorcycle store or marina. We used an unbranded equivalent ... looks and smells the same ... for cleaning aircraft canopies in the...

It has been a while since I last saw TwoGuns post on our forum. Has anyone here heard from him?

You want work. I'll show you work. Here we are ... me and two of my crewmembers:

For objects suspended only by jacks, the force and speed of gravity quadruples.

BC: Where do you place your jack and jackstand(s) when you're lifting and working on the front end of your 900? I confess to having never checked the knuckles or the front diff on my '08 900. I should get busy before it gets too cold to work on the machine. Many thanks for your thoughtful...

God bless you, Muleman. And God bless your medical team. I've added you and your docs to my prayer list.

Tribute: I don't know whether I got a framed or frameless valve. I had my eyes shut the entire time.

Two Guns' post reminds me: I've been gone a while also ... aortic heart valve replacement surgery. In mid-August, docs removed my worn out aortic valve and replaced it with a valve from a pig's heart. I haven't been out and about on our RTV900 since shortly before the surgery, but I've thought...

Moth balls work. The roof on our back deck has little partially closed-in spots out on the ends of the rafters ... wasps like those areas. Early each Spring I toss 3 or 4 moth balls up in each overhang ... when I see a wasp or two buzzing around later in the Summer, I add fresh moth balls. I...

So ... how's your sister getting along these days? ;)

Mark: I'm glad your story has a happy ending. Coulda' been a lot worse. Lemme ask you: what did you learn from this? I don't intend that question to be a smartass reply. I'm serious. If you had that job to do over, what would you do differently to avoid the events you experienced? Lotsa people...

Congratulations on your purchase. Great looking machine. You will appreciate the relocated parking brake lever more than you'll ever know. One of my neighbors has an overgrowth of old-growth arborvitae along one side of his property. The stuff is interlaced with massive vines and other crappy...

What are we dealing with? I musta missed something.

Try this when high-centered in 4WD: don't leave front wheels pointing straight ahead ... cock them over fully one way, then back the other, and apply the power. Give the front wheels a fighting chance at getting a bite of something solid enough to get the machine's frame off high center. The...

OK ... I'll bite: What's all that white stuff in that video?

That's quite a bit more generator than I can justify. Thanks, just the same. And I gotta ask: how in the world did you end up owning that monster?

Shutting off the engine by switching off the fuel supply has always been my SOP with engines that accommodate that procedure, and so it was with the Kaw generator engine. I've checked spark plug for fouling ... it never is. I've checked the fuel system to see whether gas is passing through...
