Sure - probably from 10 people...

Or so says the man with the Laverda "lump hammer" repair tool
Maybe you should send it to the U.S. and we can perform some fine tuning at HM. Or is it a Laverda only tool?

OI, Don't you diss the lump hammer, it's been used on the K as well, mind you only to 'adjust' a slightly bent brake lever.....

All I can say is replace the guage rigth the heck now!
Check the other stuff first , but swap in a used gauge.
I ALMOST had a fire on my hands in 2009 at the BMW MOA if far East PA.
I think the guage hot wire shorted out and the hot wire cooked off all the insulation right into the main harness! Was bright red glowing!
I made it home OK after cutting the wire & running no fuel or temp guage but it was hairy.
Spent about 10 hours fixing the harness too! |
WOW! 
I think my problem is more related to the temp guage wiring harness connector needing a good cleaning. Last summer, I kinda half-assed cleaned it (cuz I didn't have a proper tool to get down into those tiny spaces around the male & female connections) and it worked well for about a month. then, it became intermittent again.
Anybody who's coming to HMSP have any tiny little cleaning brushes?

Hi "".. buddy of Omar ""
Look... just go to the local electrical supply store and pick up a tube of "DeOxit" terminal cleaner.. Keep it handy in the rear tool compartment, use it religiously and your 'corroded terminal' problems will be over. See you at HMSP-VI !!
Ride safe all.....// Ernie in NH

I'll be the first to jinx the weather for this year.
It's looking pretty good with the ten day forecasts just starting to show next Thurs and Fri....
http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Weather.aspx?location=USVA0466
It looks like they'll have a wet spell early next week with it clearing out by the mid to latter week. Nice!
In thoughts of this year's gathering I thought of outdoor camp chairs being a valuable commodity. Is anyone trailering in this year? I'd gladly donate $50 to someone grabbing 5-6 of those cheap folding camp chairs that I've bought at Home Depot for $8. I've got a bunch and they're really comfortable, but a little long to pack on the side of the bike.
I really like the Kermit chairs, but not quite ready to shell out that kind of money. I've seen some other compact camping chairs that would fit on the bike, but they are still $65+.
I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Hi all...
I agree with Steve,,, I've doubled checked on the Eurocast ( something like NOAA ) and they also predict a "fairly" dry week and only "wet" at the beginning for that region of SW VA.. Soooo keep the fingers crossed, eh?
BUT looking at all the Mississippi flooding... I"M really hoping Scott can make it across the "Big Muddy" without having to go by way of Phoenix !
Regards all and ride safe.......// Ernie in NH

Well, kind of ironic since I started this thread......
I can't make it to HM this year, because of family stuff. It is all good news and nothing bad.
Gwen, Jim and Scott can fill you all in about the reason when you get there.
Don't have too good of a time- I don't want to miss too much!
Hope you have dry and sunny weather.
John

Yeah Ernie- I will miss you and all the usual suspects. Hopefully Rydor won't need any zip-ties this year.
I was so looking forward to HM VI for, oh, about 10 months.  Crap.
Guess I have to look forward to HM VII.
Have a great ride down and back. Hope you folks have good weather.
