List future
Hey all, During the extended downtime of the Elektro-based GTS list, I brought the GTS list up on a site called www.egroups.com, a free group hosting facility. I've solicited the opinions of the group members I could reach and have considered the two options. I have decided to move the list to the eGroups site. Some of the reasons for this choice are: Automatic removal of MIME encoded stuff. Much easier list management for me. :-) Group file sharing space Group shared calendar (good for organizing GTS rides) A chat room Easy to access archives A page for web links folks would like to share to the group I have asked Charlie, the admin of Elektro, to configure the mail alias, gts-1000@elektro, to reply to messages with a statement informing folks of the list change. Please share this information with your friends who are missing from our group. I would like to personally thank Charlie Smith for his willingness to host our list out of the kindness of his heart. For those who don't know him, Charlie is a long time motorcyclist and a good friend. Here are the egroups e-mail commands: To join gts1000: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe from a group: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Put your email message delivery on hold for a group: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Change your subscription to daily digest mode: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Change your subscription to individual emails: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, your account can be managed via the web at www.egroups.com, if you so choose. For those who choose not to, simply send me a direct e-mail explaining what you need done and I'll manually change your subscription status for you. For those of us to maintain GTS related web-pages, could you please either retain the link to www.arches.uga.edu/~weaver/gtsmail.html (which is updated now) or refer to the new list address. Thank you for your time and patience.

It is the individual mailers that show or not show the mime header information. The MIME info is simple text that instructs a compatable mail client on how to handle it. The list simply redistributes the MIME header info just like any prose in a message. The real problem folks have with MIME is when it is used for plain text messages. MIME headers are appropriate for file includes, images, that sort of thing (not on this list, though. :-). MIME is not needed for text messages, yet some (microsoft) mailers add a MIME header that basically says "Hey, this is text" which is redundant and confuses some mailers.

If they changed the pistons and cylinders, they certainly had to deal with the head gasket. The head gasket fits between the cylinder head and the jugs themselves above the pistons. They can be touchy to get installed properly and the manner in which the head is torqued back on can make or break a head gasket.

Mike, This sounds like a classic case of a blown head gasket. Gasses from the combustion chamber enter the water jacket and displace the coolent causing a boil-over event. There is a test one can buy (from NAPA, I know) that 'sniffs' the coolant to see if there are any exhaust gasses in it. It is a good test for a blown head gasket.

There is the plastic deformation of the tire to consider. As it molds to the road surface, it dissipates energy via shear deformation and alblation in addition to friction. That's why wider tires are better than skinny ones. The pure physics hold that the frictional force is directly proportional to the force normal and the coefficient of friction only. Not the surface area of the frictional zone. > > But you are correct with the physics. I dunno about that. I don't know if the increase of the force normal increases the rate of energy dissapation of the braking system. Kinetic energy is 1/2 Mass * Velocity^2. When you increase the mass, the force normal does increase, but I am unconvenced that it increases enough to change the rate of energy dissapation to account for the increased KE. Just shooting my mouth off, but I would like to do the math.

(AP) -- A motorcycling enthusiast who applauded the state's new helmet-free law has died as a result of a motorcycle accident in which she wasn't wearing a helmet. Dorthy Lynette Rushton, 40, smashed her Harley-Davidson early Saturday morning and was thrown more than 50 feet. She died Monday from injuries she sustained in the crash. Rushton probably would have survived had she been wearing a helmet, said Florida Highway Patrol Cpl. John Schultz. He said alcohol was a factor but the lack of a helmet "greatly" contributed to her injuries. Gov. Jeb Bush last month signed into law a measure to let motorcyclists age 21 and older ride without helmets if they carry $10,000 in insurance. It took effect July 1. Friends said motorcycle riding was Rushton's passion -- especially without a helmet. "Lyn wanted to do what she could, even in her death," close friend Kristi Piscitelli said. "She knew this could happen." Copyright 2000 Associated Press. --

The IPS is a simple pressure transducer. The easy and accurate way to test the IPS is with a vacuum pump/gauge. Simply hook the IPS up to the pump, and apply a *small* vacuum of, for example, 100 mmHg below atmospheric. Check the voltage out by probing the back of the connector (one pin is ground, one pin is +5V, one is the return voltage). Compare the ouput voltage and diagnostic code output to the graphs in the service manual. - Bill G. --1666544259E2B280D4E76D69 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="whg2n.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for William Guilford Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="whg2n.vcf" begin:vcard n:Guilford;William tel;fax:804-982-3870 tel;work:804-243-2740 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://yakko.bme.virginia.edu org:University of Virginia;Department of Biomedical Engineering adr:;;HSC Box 377;Charlottesville;VA;22908;USA version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering x-mozilla-cpt:;-21424 fn:William Guilford end:vcard --1666544259E2B280D4E76D69--

I've stayed on the list looking for failures related to my own. I can't afford the $1500 parts and $ labor for someone else to do the job either. To make a long story short, my 93 GTS will not start. The failure was sudden. The engine is getting spark, it is getting fuel, and the cam chain has not slipped. There was no sound to indicate a catastrophic mechanical failure of any kind. There is no fault code. I had an indication that the IPS was giving bad readings, so I tested (then broke) and replaced the IPS. Testing since has shown that the sensor is dead-on, though the bike still will not start. My throttle position sensor also tests out fine. I swapped in a "loaner" ECU from a list member (who chooses to remain nameless) and the bike still failed to start and gave all the same sensor readings it is possible, however, that the replacement ECU had failed in an identical way. I still had indications of a bad IPS reading, so I unwrapped the entire engine harness, and found one glitchy splice inside. The bike still will not start. In short, I'm out of things to try that don't require starting the bike. What I would propose, then, is that I send you my TPS, my IPS and my ECU. I know for certain that both sensors are fine. Swap in the two sensors and see if it helps. What you can then do for me is install my ECU (since your bike still starts, at least). If the bike goes from giving failure indications to simply not starting, but without fault codes, then I can confirm that my problem is my ECU. Let me know if this works for you, and send me an appropriate shipping address off-list. I can probably get these off to you tomorrow, as my GTS is still torn to pieces. :-( God, I miss my bike. - Bill G. - "How am I supposed to hallucinate with these swirling lights distracting me?" - Lisa Simpson William H.O.

Well, we're back. 2435 miles, 6 days, 4 states, 2 countries and one 4th of July BBQ. Our trip was to start at 5:00 PM on Thursday, June 29th. I would meet Stan B, from the GTS-1000 mailing list, in Portage, IN at the intersection of I-94 and state route 249. As usual, I was the late one arriving at 5:30 PM. After our "Are you ready's & Do you have everything's", we set out for our figure "8" tour of Lake's Michigan and Huron. Our goal, to find as many twisty roads as possible traveling these two pools. We would interstate it to our first stop, the Super 8 in Whitehall, MI. The trip from Portage to Whitehall was rather uneventful, except for the missed exit that was supposed to keep us on the interstate. After a short detour, we were back on track. We arrived in Whitehall at 9:30 PM, EST. Big John's pizza was the meal before the hit the sack. We were on the road at 8:45 the next morning. We would head north on route 31 until the intersection of route 31 & route 22. Route 22 is a nice road for the midwest, long sweepers and some trendy looking houses. It reminded me of Seattle, so did the clouds in the sky. After our gas stop in Frankfort, MI, the sky let open. It was the midwestern Seattle that I was in. Views of the lake to the left coming down a sweeper were just what I needed to take the gloom out of the day. We stopped in Traverse City to call our respective offices. I had a message from Ryan, from the TL1000 mailing list, to call him when we were going to be in the U.P. Maybe by force of habit, I deleted his message before I wrote his phone number down. Doh!! I called the office back to see if he had emailed me his number, but my boss said that he did not. I asked my boss to try to email him. Ryan did call on Wednesday, July 6th. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to meet with each other. Stan and I talked about where we would have lunch. I received a number of email recommendations not to miss route M119 and Legs Inn in Cross Village, MI. That would be our stop. M119 is probably the best road we were on the entire trip. It's a 1.5 lane road, that's under a canopy of trees, not fast - 40-50 MPH. Left, right, right, left. It's called the Mini-Dragon. Just watch out for the bicyclists, there were a number of them. The fun part of M119 ends/starts at the Legs Inn restaurant in Cross Village, MI. They serve Eastern European/Polish style food. Being that both Stan and I are of Polish descent, of course it wasn't like back home at Mom's but it hit the spot. Great view of the lake in the backyard. Sto Lat!! We were back on the interstate after lunch, I-75 to the Mackinaw Bridge. We paid our toll and stayed on I-75 until Sault Ste. Marie, MI/ON. Hello, Canada!!! We merged with Trans-Canadian 17 east. At 6:00 PM Chicago time, we were to get in touch with Shawn, from the GTS-1000 mailing list. Shawn was in Chicago on a business trip and would be leaving for S.S.M. at 12:00 PM Chicago time. We called Shawn but got his voice mail. Here we go, phone tag. We told him we had just crossed the border and were planning on staying at a campground somewhere between here and Espanola, ON. We suited back up and hit the road. This time I was on Stan's GTS and he on my CBR 600. We got as far as Bruce Mines before traffic came to a complete halt. After about a half hour, we got off the bikes and asked what was going on. The cagers ahead of us told us there was an accident somewhere up the road and wouldn't be cleared for at least another hour. There was an officer that was rerouting traffic. The detour that he was suggesting would take us out of our way 50-100 miles. When we pulled up to him, we asked if he knew of the nearest campground. "Sure, right there" he said as he pointed to a campground not 100 feet away. Stan and I looked at each other and we both knew our ride was over for the day. Stan set up camp while I returned to town to gather up dinner. I asked if they sold drinks in town but they didn't. The town about 10-15 back did but they close at 9:00 PM. It was 8:45 so I decided not to chance it. We were to wake at 6:00 AM the following morning. After the alarm went off, we were back to sleep. An hour and a half later, Stan along with the raindrops awoke me from my slumber. " John, doesn't that clock have a snooze alarm on it?" Stan asked. "Looks like it doesn't" I told Stan. We were on T/C 17 at 8:00 AM. Shawn told us there was a sportbike rally going on in Parry Sound, ON this

Helmet thread
Howdy all, It is time to let the helmet thread die, please. It seems when ever motorcyclists get together long enough, this topic comes up. I've got scars from years of helmet wars. No one ever changes anyone elses mind. Lets just let it go, then focus back on our beloved bikes! I'll help: I've noticed that my fuel gauge is wacky. It reads full most of the time, regardless of the fuel level. Further, the low fuel light still works properly, judging by the milage traveled when the light is on. I'm pretty sure this rules out the sender, as I expect they both use the same sender, there-fore, it is the guage or some wiring to the guage. Has anyone seen this?

More Photos from the RCR.
Have a look at http://www.garageofxanadu.com/RCR-IX/RCR-IX-Master.html Pay special attention to photos 15 and 16 (my bike and me breaking camp). The inside joke on Photo 15 is that on the sides of both of my saddle bags I have NCC 1701 E. To the non-geeks on the list, those are the call letters to the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. I figured the big bike with the large saddlebags looked a bit like a star ship and the bags looked like warp nacelles to me. Also note photos 20 and 21 for some other perspectives on the "List of 4" GTS's at the ride. Photo 21 has the owner's on their bikes.

Ride Report RCR IX
Howdy all, [Note: this is posted to both the East list and to the GTS list] The wife and I made it back safely and in good health. Short report: It was great. I laughed, I cried, I fell down, it changed my life. It was better than "Cats." Long (er) report: We left around 10 am on Friday from Atlanta on a FULLY loaded GTS-1000. Cruised along happily for a while then promptly got stuck in traffic. Woo hoo. Hit 411 north to try and get some entertainment. This was a mistake. This road is not fun. We rode it all the way to Maryville where we stopped at the College to look around. My wife graduated from there a while back and she wanted to look up some old profs. Back on the bike to Knoxville, where we promptly got lost and stuck in traffic. A map purchase and a drink later, we were back on track. To the slab, young man! We hit 75 north of Knoxville and jammed hard to Renfro Valley. This had the lovely side-effect of getting us there before dark, which I think is a personal best for an RCR. After friendly greetings, tent setup, boots off, and beer, we settled down to work our jaws well into the night. It was great seeing the crew again. The next day, off to breakfast at a quaint local eatery. After that, Dave Lawrence, James Revell, Liz and I went to Cumberland Falls for some hikeing. We had a lovely 3 or 4 mile hike and saw some really nice landscape. The falls were very nice and worth the trip to see. After the hike, we stopped at the park lodge for lunch. On the way in, we saw a group of bikes in the parking lot. I noted that one was a GTS-1000 (93). Hmmm. We went in and I spotted the fellows riding the bikes eating. h.. After lunch, we went up the road a bit and went on a 45 min. dirt-bike^H^H^H^H^H^H^H horse-back ride. This was most entertaining, but my horse kept complaining when I tried to countersteer it. Back to the campsite for the most excellent feast. More steak, potatoes, and vegetables than I could eat, and that's saying something. At dinner, we had some guests. Four nice gentlemen staying right next to us. One of them with a GTS. Hmmm. Further inquiry leads to the conclusion that these were the same gentlemen we saw at the lodge. Small world, no? Further the gentleman on the GTS, Jim Hoetker, is a member of the GTS list. Very small world indeed! This brings the number of GTS's at this event to 4, the most I've ever seen in one place. Photos were taken of the four bikes in array for posterity. After I get mine developed, they will be scanned and put on-line (unless someone beats me to it). A night of beer, lies, and campfires commenced. After I crashed in bed around 1, I was sung gently to sleep by the just-weaned calves in the field nearby. I dreamt of steak and hamburger all night. The next day, a breakfast run was done then the packing commenced. After goodbye's, we hit the road back with Wayne and Vicki Orwig. We took the slab south to US 129, then took 129 to Georgia. This took us through Deal's Gap. Whew! The GTS's rear shock is sacked. I didn't realize how bad it had gotten until I tried to hustle it through the Gap with that much weight on it. We made it home in due course, well tired but triumphant. In all, an excellent RCR! Thanks go out to the Oompah and his wife for a great job with the RCR. Thanks also go out to GTS'er Mark Bergman and his wife for sharing the fabulous photos and stories of their trip in Turkey and Europe at large. Thanks go out to Jim Hoetker, Mark Bergman, and Darren Wright for their part in making the RCR a mini-GTS meet!

I think that a 'dry' battery, that is still sealed for shipment, should last quite a while. What would deteriorate on it? Lead acid batteries fail due to physical damage (bad cells due to broken connectors, common on motorcycles), sulfation due to discharging, etc. Since the acid isn't in the battery, sulphation isn't an issue. Since it is on a shelf, physical damage isn't an issue. Dunno, am I wrong?

Normally I just loosen the bolt, adjust the chain, and re-tighten it (with a torque wrench if possible). In this case, since it was so stiff, I decided to remove the bolt, so I could clean the bolt and threads on the swingarm, check for corrosion, and replace the bolt (if needed). After about 3/4~1 turn out (the bolt was clearly coming out--the sliding metal clip and caliper were loose), the bolt sheared off inside the swingarm. Yuck. The bike's now in the shop (FastLane Cycles in Chantilly, VA) to have what's left of the bolt drilled out. Since the swingarm had to be pulled for that little procedure, I'm having the swingarm lubed and tapped for grease fittings. Mark --
