    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thanks guys

how bout that...answered my own questions...BikeBandit actually carries the replacement baffle....go figure...
 
Sweet! I think im going to wait till spring to purchase and tune for the emgos right now, i know ill have to rejet once i switch, but i plan on taking this motor down over the winter anyway...i just wanna get to a point where i know im kinda on the right track with jet sizes, vaccum issues, etc. If i switch to those K&Ns am i prolly going to have to go with BIGGER jets or back off a little? Ive heard varying reports on the emgos saying they let too much air in, some say not enough...whats your opinion??

Thanks!

$$$$ Im poor and have a cage to fix before winter...keeps frying alternators...
 
already been at it....gonna change a battery cable or both, prolly both, I HATE HATE car wiring...i dont have the patience for it, so if i dont find it soon its going to the shop. Doesnt help its a Volvo and its 22 years old...heh. Might just be time for a new cage...paid 600 for her, and got alot of miles out of her, but if this isnt it and the repair is more than that, shes goin out the door or to the scrap yard. Guy next door has a cage for a grand that looks and runs good. We'll see...

Best advice I can give in this case is to test and do what the performance/plugs say.
Know way to be sure until you do that.

I've worked a few wiring issues on a Volvo 240DL station wagon (and a straight up 240 station wagon used for the dogs)... You test the voltage regulator? I fried out two batteries and replaced the alternator 3 times trying to figure out what was going and found out the voltage regulator was bad...

(See I've been having R/R issues since before I bought a GS)
