    Brake recall

    My Eldorado passed muster, the tech says they take off the RF caliper put a wedge into the pads area then a feeler gauge into the back of the MC piston if the wedge pulls free after the MC feeler gauge is removed then the system is good, took about 45 mins

    Separating mufflers from header

    FWIW PB Blaster is a better choice for freeing stuck parts. NOTE the PB will also dissolve rust

    Eldorado spoked wheels that leak air, a fix

    went to go riding today pressure still holding at 40 PSI in my rear wheel, when I change the front tire the same coating will be applied to the rim as a preventive measure

    Eldorado spoked wheels that leak air, a fix

    Well good news to report the tire is still holding 42PSI after a few weeks of riding, so if you have a spoked wheel this is a viable repair

    troubling noise (but not a noise)

    Eldorado spoked wheels that leak air, a fix

    My 2016 Eldorado has had an air leak from the spokes on the rear wheel and the air inlet. This is mostly due to the fact that the wheel is made of bare aluminum, Once water gets onto the spokes then water wicks down the nipples and corrosion starts, then the O rings that seal the rim start...

    Eldorado bouncy rear fender

    Just a note about the Eldo rear fender . It is made so it can be removed then the rear tire is removed, it sounds like a lot of taking things apart but takes about 10 mins to have the fender off , I use a jack stand under each passenger peg and tie the front brake lever on. also remove the heat...

    California 1400 Tour - DIY tire changes - w/pics

    well done , thanks for the writeup When i checked/changed my rear drive oil I used the rear pegs to put on jackstands then removed the rear fender , this took about 10 mins to remove the bolts and few zip ties for the tail wire harness, I put tape arounf the front brake lever so the tire wont roll

    2016 Eldorado rear wheel wont hold pressure leaking air.

    I found some stuff called fluid film at the John Deere dealer, I am waiting for a warm day to spray it into the spoke nipple holes on the outside of the rim This stuff will stop the corrosion and possibly seal the rubber to the rim, might try pulling a vacuum on the wheel nothing to lose at...

    2016 Audace Mufflers

    instead of swapping in new gaskets just make sure the header pipe bolts are tight as they will loosen over time so will the heat shield bolts
  13. Mrmerlin

    Well I've gone and done it.

    any name brand silicone spray should work, the idea is to prevent water from wicking into the nipples and then the rim corroding around the O rings. I really wish they made the rim with higher quality materials and took the time to put a protective coating on the aluminum

    Audace seat

    FWIW I fit the driver comfort seat from the MGX 21 onto my Eldorado the rear bolster is about an inch shorter but otherwise its quite similar, the foam in the comfort seat is also more dense so it offers a stiffer seating area that means for me its more comfortable. The stock Eldo seat has...

    Well I've gone and done it.

    FWIW it would be wise to spray some silicone into the spoke nipple holes so the O rings and the aluminum rims dont corrode and start leaking .. I have this issue it looks like the rims are made from bare aluminum and once they get a few wet cycles the aluminum corrodes at the spoke nipple O...

    Bugs in the headlight (and how to remove them)

    they might have gotten in via the grills on the sides of the lamp housing then the heat cooks them

    2016 Eldorado rear wheel wont hold pressure leaking air.

    if each nipple has a O ring then the rim is open to the elements, they didnt anodize the rims so any liquid will then provoke corrosion at the nipple /rim interface. That said it might be prudent to take the rim apart and have it polished then anodized , then rebuilt with fresh O rings and...

    2016 Eldorado rear wheel wont hold pressure leaking air.

    anyone else having issues with the tubeless spoked wheel leaking at the spokes. I find my rear tire wont hold pressure and soapy water confirms about 4 spokes with leaks, I think they have O rings under each nipple, these bare aluminum rims are not the best quality and corrode easily, they...

    2016 Audace Exhaust

    tighten the header clamps at the heads not too tight. NOTE might wanna take each nut off and put anti seize on the threads first. Check the heat shields put anti on those bolts as well, check them all after 100 miles. Check the pipes under the heat shields for cracks . get a helper to hold...

    Rear brake pad replacement.

    OK so bend the bent tab to provide the required grip , Based on your picture one of the securing tabs is bent. If that wont work put a dab of grease on it then insert the pads
