    Oracle,

    I bought the Slaven's CPC 5/16"  kit because I was ordering something else.  You can get the metal parts locally I believe.  Slaven's sent 14.5mm which I think is too tight. I had 15.7mm which worked. I have some 15.3mm which came with the Earl's fuel filter.  This is what I would use in future. The hose you use determines what you need, so I would get a range of sizes to work with. Marshall's Industrial Hardware. The barb ends really enlarge the hose. 

    Home Depot will ship you the tool. Mr. B may have an opinion about clamp size.

    Good Luck

    This is a Link to a thoughtful guy over at ADVrider

    Looking over this Old discussion, I found that many of these issues are still relevant. In this time of Isolation, I am going through many long term maintenance projects. 

    Important Topics in this piece.

    1. Use Fresh Gas -  Ethanol only lasts a few weeks before breaking down.   I  believe untreated old gas was the cause of my motor failure. 

    " Gas that has gone bad.  Gasoline goes bad over time – especially gasoline with Ethanol.  Ethanol has a very short shelf life – only a few weeks.  As it ages, it absorbs moisture from the air and forms water particles that collect in the bottom of the tank (near the fuel pump intake) and leaves behind white crystal deposits that can damage your system.  If your bike will be sitting for more than a few weeks, always add some stabilizer or Star Tron and keep your tank full. "

    2. Clean the Injector periodically

    " Fuel residue that builds up over time.  This is normal, which is why the manufacturer recommends periodic cleaning or replacing of the injector "

    3. Replace fuel filters periodically

    " If you bike starts running lean (gets hot, looses power, or pops on deceleration), that may be an indication that one of your filters is getting clogged – or perhaps the injector. "

    This is the best bit of intel I have learned from this discussion;  the custom bend on the rear supports. Those of us with Non-Macho vehicles have a dragging issue with the extra length off the bumper. The shown angle should help.  I wonder if Joe can bend my straight unit?

    Can we assume you loaded the Mac Version of BaseCamp?

    That 76Cx , Is it a Serial device?  I have no idea

    - Windows Vista Service pack 2 or later is required. Machines with XP, SP3, Vista with no service pack or Vista service pack can use BaseCamp 4.2.5 available here. .NET framework 4.5 SP1 is required. A current version of .NET will be installed if needed.

    - Windows Media Player 11 or greater is required (a free download from Microsoft)

    - 1GB of system memory is required, 2GB of system memory is recommended when using BirdsEye Imagery or Garmin Custom Maps.

    - A video card that supports Open GL version 1.3 or later is needed to view in 3D

    - If you experience problems when interacting with map views make sure you have current video card drivers.

    - Basecamp will recognise all MapSource products except BlueChart

    - Basecamp does not work with serial GPS devices. "

    #1 -  Yes/No

    #2 -  Yes, A worn countershaft  seal. 

     

    #5 -   Put the trans in 3rd gear and have your wife sit on the bike while you use a 18" breaker socket handle to loosen Counter Sprocket.  Penetrating oil optional.

              Drill a small hole in metal shoulder of the seal (  very carefully ).  Screw a #6 or #8 drywall screw into hole and pull the seal out.

    Jeff Slaven's is rather opinionated.  Some advice is quite insightful, some is just his religion.  I have found his Videos helpful in learning from an experienced hand. This one is about front to back maintenance.  His comments on shock and fork rebuilds are an eye opener.  I will cover my ears and pretend I didn't hear that advice.

    Lots of videos and lots of intel   Bagstr

    P.S. -   I hope this is in the correct section

    Just Started reading the ADVrider navigation  forum.  Interesting, the IOS vs Android thread. 

    Question ! -  Having my BaseCamp situated on my MacBook OS:  Will the Rugged Verizon Android with CaliforniaTrailMap files transfer in and out of BaseCamp?

        Thanks, Just Arrived

    All These Tools are fine for the garage; but for the trail Chris' cold solder or a crimp is all you can hope for.  That said, I would be looking for a wire rubbing the insulation off out on the trail.  At that point some 3M 33 tape and a new fuse  will get you going.

       But Really, We are in the maintenance mode until we get a vaccine. Spending my time with moto maint and fine tuning until That Happy Day.

    Thanks for the input Gents
