Yep I've seen multiple reports of regulator failure, usually starts with a whistling battery.

Yip. Mine blew up in December last year in Cape Town. Specialist motorcycle auto lec rebuilt it in a day. 100% since then.

Yeah it happens, consider relocating to a spot with more airflow.

Yes-- just replaced the one on my 2007-- 23,000 miles. Was intermittent for a couple of weeks.

. So once you put on the G2 throttle tube you can just trade out the cam as needed?

Yep, about 5 minutes, like Markie said. More of my time is spent removing/replacing the handguard.

now just some rain would be nice.

Anyone using a G2 400 throttle tamer cam? Thinking one would be nice in the slow stuff if it works and not much downside.

I thought about this while riding yesterday. For me, I get to many of those awkward, about to stall moments where I appreciate a quick reacting throttle input. And usually when I stall while standing I end up on the ground. But yes the ass end does step out pretty quickly with the stock cam. Please report back your experience with the new cams.

Nice bike! The one I was referring to had a yellow frame (and was made at the same factory). Now back to the original thread.

Just noticed this today. I am getting a strange clicking noise from the steering. I can't believe the bearing could be bad, no movement in the triple on the stand. Looked for something cracked or showing wear signs. What else could it be?

I would first check throttle cable and brake line shield.

I know what you mean about the awkward moments. I guess thats what my hesitation is about, changing one of the main characteristics of the bike. I only have the 400 tamer cam and haven't installed yet. Might be my project this evening. Will report back.

I checked them again and the tripple. No visible sign of wear or cause for the noise. Clicking does not occur with weight off the front tire. It also only seems to happen near the ends of the turning range. So it's not the triple hitting at the end it's before then. I'm stumped.

It does seem to resonate thru the handle bars from the fork tubes. But the compression from the tubes feels good and there's no fork fluid leaking.

Installation was very easy except for getting grip back on in correct location 20 minutes total. Was using the ProTaper grip glue and it does dry FAST !
Took bike out for a quick spin, first impression was a much smoother throttle. However, I found myself reaching around and grabbing for more.

Felt like lots of play in throttle cable like needed adjustment.

Will take some getting used to...This is a quick first impression so final judgment is still out.

Do they make a 300 cam???

I needed to top off my hydraulic clutch resevoir today on my 950 SE, and found it only took a specific type of mineral oil made by motorex....I drove a total of 120 miles to pick some up from my nearest dealer....In the future, if I need to 'top' it off, does anyone know of anything that I could use in its place that I could pick up at an automotive store???

Brown Dog · 09-15-2011, 03:28 AM

I used "Mineral Oil" from a Drug Store in my 690 Enduro Hydraulic Clutch

The Lever pull feels stiffer when cold, but it's been working fine for over

a Year just fine
