Last 50 of 220- Vibey I also chased vibration that I would have sworn was coming from the engine. After a tire shop added 4oz to a new Michelin, I built a simple balancer and started balancing my own tires. The vibration is gone and has…
- 5th gen vibration slowbird, 3/5/2017 at 2:50 PM I think my 5th gen is the same. I would worry it was a tire or head bearing but when I pull in the clutch it smooths out. Definitely engine related. I did the same thing with the same…
- 5th gen vibration I was chasing a vibration for quite a while till I finally started balancing my own wheels. For a long time, I thought it was an engine vibration. Might be something to try. The machine balance from the tire shop was…
- 5Th Gen, Removing Throttle Body tjs555, 1/17/2017 at 7:14 PM Working on the same issue: thermostat, 5th gen. Anyway, I cannot seem to get the throttle body wiring connector separated (left side, just above the radiator). Is there a trick to it? Push…

- Dyna beads fail with pics I don't use the dynabeads but I do understand the theory. What everyone seems to not understand is that a freely suspended rotating mass (think about a wheel/tire assembly in outer space not mounted on forks) will…

- Heated Gloves Or Grips? You probably didn't use (drink) enough alcohol. Worth a try.
- Heated Gloves Or Grips? Dutchy Measured the gloves with my Fluke, 12.7 and 13.2 Ohm, so close enough no?. Hoping Powerlet will tell me what the 8.1 -that flashes briefly upon connecting to 12V- signifies, but if they are not stepping up to the…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal A bad brake line can do that. I think it gets de-laminated inside and the fluid flows between the layers and expands the inner layer closed forming a check valve. Something to consider anyway.
