Feeling a little rough this morning! Had a little atv party out in the bush last night. I must have drank more than I thought I did. That damn Whiskey will creep up on ya if your not paying attention. [ATTACH]630[/ATTACH]

There Should Be A Better Way To Start A Day Than Waking Up Every Morning. Especially After A Night Like Last. Good Morning To All You QC's :coffee:

Probably enough for 1 washer only.

Has anyone ever used washer's as wheel spacers? I have noticed that on my SP500 the new mudlite tires I put on are slightly rubbing the front strut. There is a little tab on the strut tower that holds the bottom of the spring and I noticed that the tab was all shinny. Now I think it only happens when the tire is flexing over large bumps because the tires don't rub when the bike is sitting on a flat surface. It looks like I only need 1/8 to 1/4 to solve my problem. So I was going to try to put one washer on each stud. Now does anyone see any problems with doing this? P.S. I have stoch steel rims not aluminum.

Hey BioWare Still no snow here as of yet.

Doing great today and in a few minutes I'm heading out for a :drivingc: out on the lake. Should be a blast as long as no one sinks there machine again. Have a great day all you QC's.

Wow must be nice! Morning All.

Same here! We got around 4"s last night. Good morning everyone. Down 9.5lbs on week one. WooooHoooo

Sure you can for $14.99USD. Funny Canadian money is at par right now and it going to cost me $18.99 for the same cup! Huh!

Now thats a nice cup!

I would say somewhere between 60-80lbs. I lost 100lbs 2 years ago and I put alot back on. Damn Beer and Pizza! lol I went from 284 to 184, which was great but I didn't feel good being that light. I've always been a big guy and I felt weak at 184. I plan on staying between 200-220.

Coffee.... Oh man, I think now I shouldn't have gave up coffee for green tea. I'm only one week into my diet and it's killing me already. P.S. Good Morning QC.

Thankyou and right back at ya!

I soldered the wire and used shrink wrap and then taped the whole thing with electrical tape. I think that should do! I'm glad to be up and running again but the weather's not cooperating right now. Big thaw last week killed all the river riding.

The fan came in today along with a damn brokerage fee from UPS. I tore the fan apart and had to change the connector. The one on the bike is different than the one that came with the fan. I installed the motor on the old fan and it works great! Thanks guys.

I went to the Princess Auto yesterday in Windsor and they didn't have anything even close to being the same size.

I think he's in California near Pomona.

So I talked to "the fan man" a few minutes ago and I ordered a direct replacement (Spal) fan for $56+tax and shipping. Funny, when I called Spal directly they quoted me $79. I guess it pays to call around. So for around $100 I get a new fan. Thats much better than $350 from the dealer. Now I just have to sit here and wait for the package while all my buddies are out ripping up and down the river behind my place. This sucks!!!!

Any cures for hangovers!:vommit: Oh sorry Good Morning all!:coffee:

There's no Autozone's here in Ontario but you gave me a great idea. I'm going to head down to our local NAPA dealer. They should have some! Thanks.

I have checked Babbits and Ronnies an I still think I can get a better price. Has anyone ever bought off the The-Fan-Man ? I talked to him yesterday and he's calling me back today with a price. I guess the part # I gave him is not a # that he stocks, so he has to call Spal to get a price. I checked out the Spal website and cross reference the fan #'s and from what I can find it's going to run me about $80 +tax+shipping. As for replacing the bearing, I don't think it's an option due to the bearing being stamped into the housing and locked in place. The housing is actually overtop of the bearing on both sides so pressing it out would destroy the housing.

Well another broken part on this bike. (2005 SP 500.H.O.) I went for a little ride the other day and the "HOT" light on the dash started to flash. I quickly turned off the machine and realized that the fan wasn't working. I tried to spin it by hand and it was seized solid. What a PITFA! I now have the bike at home and I took the fan off to try to rebuild the SPAL motor. It's not a tough job but when I took the motor apart it was full of mud and water. The front bearing had failed. I cleaned it up the best I could and got it running again but it is now noisy as hell and I don't trust it. Has anyone here had to change the fan on there machine? Is there a good aftermarket fan I can order instead a OEM? The stealer over here wants $350! Not a chance in hell will I pay that for a fan. Does any one have any part #'s? On the back of my fan it says.... VA55/CWP-54A Thanks for any help. I need to get this bike up and running soon!

It's great to hear about a family getting into a few differant sports like you and yours. WoW four bikes and girls, damn you must have your hands full! lol Belle River is in the armpit of Ontario right near Windsor.
