If correct plugs are used and torqued to spec the indexing is automatic. If you want the first pull start and optimum fuel mileage this is important because of the position of the plug in the combustion chamber and its relation to the overhead injectors. Indexing plugs on an etec is standard...

If you use the stock wheels with 20mm bearings on a two wheel set up make sure those bearings are not worn in any way. Better to replace with new ones then risk one coming apart as there is increased strain when losing the third wheel.

I ordered Boss seat online from FirstplaceParts (North or South Dakota) $440 Canadian landed in two weeks.

Definately. Just spent the weekend on the boat up the Indian Arm (North Vancouver) and you can see the mountains with the snow still there. It was dang hot out and the whole time I was thinking of Braaaaping up those chutes. Get this...wife new exactly what was going on in my head and said "if...

Re: Compression ratio RT 1000??? Calculating comp ratio So how does the math work??? Compression reads 158 PTO and 160 MAG. This is measured at 80 ft above sea level. Do you just divide these numbers by static air pressure?? Ex: 160 psi / 14 psi (static air pressure??)= 11.43 :1 Also...

Nice ride Brockster!!!

I ride an o5 Summit X 1000 and as most everybody here knows they have problems with sucking in the belt dust. I recently pulled the throttle body and reeds to do some inspection and cleaning and thought to flush the bottom end in an attempt to remove any crud without actually pulling the engine...
