What did you do to your DownTown today?

[kneeslider]

Agreed. That cover is sturdy.

I had a guy ran into the back of me. He only contacted that cover, left a small gouge it in.

 

  there is no hatch to see inside ,  there is a bolt for the tupper ware that is good for a few taps at the rear of the cover , the cover is fairly strong,

Did the oil change today. Could only find Royal Purple in 10w-40w, but that is fine. allot cheaper than the dealer doing the service.

Installed a Jcosta variator.... Holy crap this thing "woke up"  all in all - Despise being 350g on average heavier than the OEM variator.  Needless to say i am definitely impressed!
next mod is the rear sliding sheeve. anxious to get a more aggressively linear sheave to retain even more low end torque.
anyone else modding their transmission in this fashion?

Some of us just went for the Dr Pulley sliders.

Bpt323, I've been thinking about jcosta for a bit now, I might just take the plunge after reading your comment.
Watch this space!
Cheers
Don.

Hey guys, I installed an iridium CR7EIX spark plug today. First time I changed a plug in anything.I have a question: after I installed, I took it for a ride. I noticed that after I accelerated and then let off on the throttle, I used to hear like a winding noise. Same thing when I would shut the engine off. I would hear something that I thought was the belt, winding down or stopping. Now since I put the new plug in, I hear nothing. On de-acceleration and shutting the engine down. Any ideas? Is it my imagination?

I put the correct gas in it, lol.
It had been real tough to start it for the better part of a week and I wondered if I had put 87oct in instead of 92-93.
So I stopped and topped off with some 93, and now it starts right up

Mine is very picky with fuel as well.

I got two possibles....but still pretty darn unlikely:
Previous plug was about to fall out.....whistling.
Or, when you changed plugs...you moved a rubber line that had been rubbing on the squirrel's cage.

Stig, thanks for the reply. I was kind of debating whether to even ask the question! I don't know, maybe it was the wind ,whistling in my helmet [emoji16]LOL.. Going to take a little ride in a bit, I'll see if I still here the "imaginary " noise.

Installed Wolo horn in "New old stock" DT300i and paralleled the 12 volt outlet with the horn relay, all on a fat wire with a 15 amp fuse.

Hi Karl,

Do you have a cell phone mount that you use on your Downtown?  I'm looking for one but not sure which one will work on the Downtown.  Thanks.

[pipster326]

I just installed these on the DT last week
