  1. I just pour oil over a new filter so it can soak it up. At least this way it's not dry when the oil starts pumping. I also turn the motor over for 5-10 sec. before starting. It pumps pretty quick, so if it's not full in 10 sec. there's a bigger problem.

    Cheers!

    i always change the filters when i do a oil change...( mine has 3 filters),2 in the case and one in the oil cooler..

    then ether pull the spark plug , or pull the compression relieve and spin the motor over ..

    that way you don't load the bearings ...before you get oil pressure...;)


  2. .... I now have a non related,..." crank won't start " , .with." no spark ",...problem..

    and the charging system is not working , ether ..:(

    but.,....everything else still works ,.. lol

    i think the problems could be the voltage regulator ,

    ..or the pulse generator..or the CDI..and coil..

    but i know the CDI is a bench test only unit...:(

    Bad/insufficient stator could explain all this- ask Roger how I know this.

    If it were me, I'd take it up to BajaDesigns. They've seen it all...

    that's about what i was thinking..

    it passed the om meeter test..

    i have been reading up on the thing..

    im looking at going to a Trail Tec 100 w , full DC system..

    so i can have real lights & a radiator fan..

    i think/ hope it's also got a 525 EXC stator & flywheel.. now..?

    ive just never seen it yet...,

    from what ive read , there is a part # size difference....

    i guess i have to pull the side cover and take a look see ,..for a part #...to make sure what i have ,..

    befor i buy the trail teck stuff...:)

    the CDI's and Coil have the same part #'s..

    it started life as a SX..,

    but it got a 6 speed and e start Battery and some and some good,

    " bells & whistles " parts before i got it.

    i wonder if the previous owner remembers what he put in it.....lol


  3. update..:

    the bike comes back as a, "new construction "..... Custom Built Bike,..!

    just like OC choppers does on there TV show...

    titled by them ,.. DMV inspected ,..by them

    and blessed by the CHP on the light and horn , rear view..ect..,.. by them..!

    with a new Titled Vin #..as a NEW custom build bike ,with the motor #'s on the title....with zero miles. , all by Joe..

    the DMV,...has not failed to send out the renewal notice..

    the coast for his work and fees (plate reg. and title), and supplying the OEM KTM parts was almost $1,200

    .........................................................................................................

    now the bike has some electrical problems...

    i have been searching the forum for the info but can't find what i need ...??

    .... I now have a non related,..." crank won't start " , .with." no spark ",...problem..

    and the charging system is not working , ether ..:(

    but.,....everything else still works ,.. lol

    i think the problems could be the voltage regulator ,

    ..or the pulse generator..or the CDI..and coil..

    but i know the CDI is a bench test only unit...:(

    can some one give me a name/ place near el cajon,... of some one that knows KTM's ,to take a look at it for me...?

    so i don't have to start thoroughgoing parts at it..@#$%^&*

    thanks in advance

    Everything that I have researched about "new construction" or "Specially constructed" says that you MAY REGISTER the vehicle, but it is NOT FOR RESALE. I do not believe Orange county choppers can sell motorcycles using this process.

    no im sure OC , would Not try this...:)

    but joe did..

    the title states

    year..: 20## ...KTM plate ##

    With ,.....no exc. /mxc ,/ sx...ect... nothing..added

    vin# motor....###

    vin# frame.....###

    i have no idea about Resale ...?

    im just going to ride it...:)


  4. well ladies and gentlemen..... the bike is plated, and the title is NOT salvaged...:o

    she's a dual-sport..!

    Did you have to take the take up to San Jose?

    What was the cost?

    Thanks,

    Rick

  5. Now I just need a riding partner for tomorrow.

    IN THE FUTURE.. take a nut that is the same size as the broken bolt , and lay it over the bolt..

    now take a mig welder ...and start welding the broken bolt through the inside of the nut you placed over the bolt...

    your welding a new nut from the inside.. to the broken bolt..

    when it is welded up good , and is just cooling below "RED HOT"... take a wrench .... and start turning the new headed nut broken bolt..cambo..\\

    the heat helps a tun..!! ...easy....:)

    this workers grate in most cases..much easier then drill , tap & easy out ...:good:


  6. Ive cleaned and sealed allot of gas tanks in the past. The local radiator shops can boil them out for ya for about $50.00. They make a fuel tank sealer that you slosh around the inside of the tank and it seals the rust pits up real well. you can get it at Old Cars and Parts on Prospect in Santee. But just for cleaning, CLR works pretty good. Check out this link on a hot rod forum. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthr...hlight=clr+rust

    Good Luck.

    methanol and potassium hydroxide ...(KOH)... LYE KLEAN LIKE a white tornado... varnish , rust...ect...

    then use the tank sealer..stuff...:)

    MIX 1 gl of methanol& 1 lb of potassium hydroxide ...(KOH)... LYE .. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL..!!!

    IT GET 150 DEGREES.. and has a " WILL KILL YOU ODER "...!!!!!!!!!

    a respirator,...rubber gloves and eye protection , ARE A MUST...!!!

    if you like your eyes hands and breathing...lol

    ALSO....

    " ONLY ADD THE LYE TO THE METHANOL.. NEVER ADD METHANOL TO LYE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I use the chemicals for making bio- diesel ..

    and i cleaned out a older motor home fuel tank... that was killed ,with rust and varnish that looked like tar..

    .... and turned it back into a working furl tank.... in 2 treatments..

    ....."" WARNING USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.."""


  7. now that i see the height of the of the wall, not only would he have needed a permit,....the wall would have to have a "engineering report.." to be built ...!!!

    send the owner of the property a notarized , registered letter.... and demand that he tear it down and rebuild it properly ,on his own property..." by code",....and clear all rubble form your lot.

    and give him a deadline .....to have it done by.

    then if he does not respond....to your demands.......you can tear it down, and send him the bill....<_<


  8. No he did not have a survey done when he built the wall. The people before me where loaded with finacial, addiction, and criminal problems. They did not care what happened as long as they did not have to pay for it! I hope he gets his own survey. He would then see he is wrong. It is funny how he minimized the distance. Quote " All that for a foot!" I will take pictures with a tape.

    Call the city. He would have been required to get a permit for this wall. This permit would confirm that it was built in the correct location and built correctly(to code). Most likely there is not a permit because of its location. In this case, the city would require the wall to be taken down by the owner of the wall. Good luck!

    That's the best suggestion so far.

    The concept for which folks are grasping is Adverse Possession. After a LONG period, if the property owner knows and approves of the use of his/her property (like a wall on the property, and the property owner says, essentially: Oh, that's ok with me) then eventually that part of the property will become the "encroacher's" property.

    But it's rare, and there are many hoops through which one must jump.

    fn

    my 2 cents...:crazy:

    if the wall is less then 32" high he does not need a permit. it is called "flat work"..!

    the Adverse Possession law, is the big problem..!

    he has to meet 3 rules of law.

    1)if he has used the land for more then 5 years with out interruption.

    2) he would have too have payed TAXES on the land.

    3) his actions would have to be detrimental to your title..

    if you go to court and he has done all of the three things above , he can "claim the property" as his.

    and if he has not , you can tare down the wall...!!!

    and take him to court to recoup all your money + attorney fees.

    but this will not be cheep , unless you know a attorney...!!!

    ps. i have a friend that is fighting this same thing..!

    but in his case the guy went and changed the boundary line and recorded it and he was paying the taxes on the extra land,for the last 4 years.

    he was after a easement right to a privet road , so he could gain access too the rear of his property so he could build 3 houses on a peace of land in El Cajon.


  9. for anyone looking for a motorcycle carrier....i got mine through the second link: @ BIZRATE.COM

    I got mine for $100.00,.... with free UPS shipping ....!

    BUT it looks like the price has gone up too $116.00....??

    i not sure if they have free shipping still...??

    but i am sure the place will honor the $116.00 price....if you go straight too them , and tell them you saw the bizrate price...!

  11. hi all a up date:

    quote>if you go to Joe Racer you can get a plate, but you wind-up with a "salvaged" bike.< end Quote:

    it will be a KTM 525 I Will get the "pink & plate"..,at the same time...:D

    ill report too you all what the pink states....once i get it..!

    thanks Gordy


  12. well the paper work is done ,

    it is coming back as a 525 KTM.... on the pink.

    some delays.....:

    1)Joe is adding a new second shop...

    and

    2) i went the "OEM" root as fare as the parts kit....the parts got hung up in costumes for a wile.

    3) not sure about the "DMV" stuff...???

    4) i lie a little...lol

    i just got it insured SO...

    i should be on North street in the next week or so.... :P

    i am tied up right now making a bio-diesel..kit, and brewing it...

    ... for the record i like the 6 speed , the E-start and the big tank too...

    PS. he openly advertises the stuff.. and at my age.....a year is a long time.....:P


  13. i raced in the "street stocks".... the 270.....was my car #

    ...at first it was a 1970's red chevy . chevelle

    ...then in 2002 i changed to a 1999 Monte Carlo...i still have the car....and i still do some dirt track races....in el centro and pairs ca....

    but now she is called a "PRO-stock"... and i get to run a 4 bl carb. and racing heads.. about 550+ hp


  14. That was an interesting post, but it did not address my concerns about my KLX 300. It is a 2001 model that I had licensed in April of 2006. I just got my renewal fee notice in the mail so I hope somehow I am exempt from these revocations. :beach:

    from what I gather, you are in a "gray area"... the bike purchase date qualifies, but the first license date does not... I expect the year of the vehicle will let it slide under the radar...

    you could always take this root....a picture is worth a 1000 words..... :unsure:
