What to look out for when your Thruxton reaches 33k miles... Repeat with scheduled stuff, sure sure... Anything on these bikes that tends to break down and need replacing, what should I do as preventative maintenance? So far, I got a new battery. The bike is 4 years old, figured it could not...

You rode by my house! awesome.

I bet you 5 dollars its the clutch sensor. Happened to me. wiggle it around... or pop it out and press it by hand. You need a little screw driver to poke the hole under where it connects.

wanna go 50 on the springs?

2008 was STILL Carbed bikes w/clip ons. 2009 was fuel injection and bars. Confusing... because the dealers started selling the 09s in the middle of 08.

FOUND THIS: http://newbonnevilleriders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2076&highlight=clicking I noticed the sound after having tires changed... any advice? Tomorrow when there is light ill check it out. Could it be coming from the speedo or tac? thet both work.

At about 3,500 RPM i get a feint clicking sound. Sounds like a playing card in in bicycle spokes... I've been googling... this guy has the same thing. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=321973 Exhaust leak? I tightened up the header bolts. I'm also due for my 24k...

Bay Area for the win. If you of see a Thruxton with the 99 number plates. Thats me, say hi.

I love that blue wagon. He comes to a lot of the Goodguys Shows.

Are you shooting film?

Make sure you re-map asap. Arrow 2into2 or Custom.

pix or it didn't happen.

It's not as bad as Warrez. (sp?) But don't stop... just ride.

That little tank was able to go exactly 70 miles before running dry. Not THAT bad. But still, i wouldn't ride it for more than shows and in town stuff.

Does that mess with the carb tune and back pressure? I would save up for a real exhaust kit.

http://www.chopcult.com/news/articles/kirks-black-ironhead.html He traded that bike yesterday for a 2005 Aprilia. Sad. He talked about El Diablo Run in the write up, Im in the opening paragraph!

The bell does not have a goggle strap. Also, the fulmer and biltwell have nicer interior. The bell feels really flimsy around the ears.

I'm familiar with Rancheros and El Caminos. Even the nice ones have rust problems. Best case you will have some cutting and welding to do in just the bed and maybe floor panels. If it's work you are ok learning to do yourself its not a bad project. Took two years for a friend to build his...

Every one was 100% nicer than Americans. Baja is very chill sans border towns. San Felipe was a paradise, the military checkpoints are all young kids being forced to serve their mandatory time. They were all smiles and waved the bikes through without a hassle. Their was never a single time I...

As you know he wasn't able to make the El Diablo Run due to his injury. Sad yes. However the silver lining was when he asked me to do a write up for his blog! Totally stoked with how it came out. I posted some photos in the ride area too...

Brett will have a story and full gallery on Ministry of Speed later today! We will let you all know in the Ace Cafe when that is live... Meanwhile... Somewhere in Mexico...

Thanks man. Ill probably not use the cowl for the trip then. I think im putting gas on the rack because my friends chopper only goes 30 miles before it needs it... and then a backpack on my seat.

Mexico! http://eldiablorun.blogspot.com/ We have a theme song too! http://lastplacers.com/el-diablo-run-theme-music/ There is a thread about El Diablo in the ride section too. Any of you going? It would nice to buy some of you a drink.

Scrambler is more fun IMHO. More torque.
