Drop down about 2/3 rds on the forum and you will see *Library*. Look under electrical. Tons and tons of info there. As to your question, could be and/or both.

Had never let me down until last Tuesday. Changed out plug and coil. No more dying.



Over 20,000 on odo.

Have had a stainless exhaust on the scoot for a couple of years now and have developed an acceleration rattle at the connection of muffler to header pipe where the two springs hold it together. The fit is just too loose. I can clamp Vise Grips on it and noise goes away, but looks pretty stupid. Have been wondering if something like one of the old VW bug exhaust tip clamps would work. Short of just having it welded, that is about the only thing I can think of unless one of you geniuses know of something that would work better.
I'm all ears (eyes). Thanks!

Cruiser is dead on! I have had to use a rachet strap when replacing valve stems. PITB, but seems to get it done.

Couldn't wait as it was supposed to be sunny today.
Soooo.... 21degrees riding to work this morning, but went for a nice ride on lunch hour,but up to/or down to 36 degrees as I left for home tonight.

39 yesterday morning. Scooted out of the garage, down the street and had to stop at SS. Almost went down due to wet leaves with frost on them. Un-puckered myself, road home, started the truck to warm up and called in late. Was 30 this morning so knew better, but did go home and scoot back at lunch. As long as streets aren't icey I can ride most of winter as commute is so short.

Re: Stainless exhaust system on 2006 Tank 150 Racer.

Developed a loud rattle last week and upon checking it out I found that I had some how thrown both of the springs that hold muff to head pipe. A trip to an Ace Hdwr and grabbed a couple of springs. The springs are some stiffer than orginal, but the issue is the OD. Acceleration causes a harmonic vibration and it sounds TERRIBLE. The springs are vibrating against the pipe. Short of wrapping the pipe with header wrap any other ideas as the next smaller OD springs are too light tension wise.
