What did you do to your M50 today? - Page 76 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Danthedawgfan · 05-10-2009, 07:49 PM

I rode around Lake Charles for a few hrs today, and enjoyed the Cruzers with the baffles sitting on my counter in the carport. They sound awesome!!!

Didn't even look at it today.....Windy as hell here!

Danthedawgfan · 05-10-2009, 09:09 PM

Hell isn't windy... I was at the inlaws not too long ago, and the wind was the only thing that was calm. lol

Mantissa · 05-10-2009, 09:42 PM

Installed a vista cruise and took it out for a test ride....best use of $35 i've spent in a long time!

Walked past it...........saw the large amounts of dust collecting on it.........thought of washing it.............kept on walking.

JmalB · 05-11-2009, 08:33 AM

Left mine in the garage due to leaving for work too late to ride.

Are you getting some engine knocking or something? Not sure what's wrong with it???

RAddiction · 05-11-2009, 08:47 AM

If the sun comes out I'm headed out to take some pictures

dgingrich · 05-11-2009, 10:31 AM

Put 250 miles on my brand new M50 yesterday to go see my Mom on Mother's Day. Thanks Mom!

Yeah, some crazy knocking, sounds like it's off the rear cylinder. It started doing it on the way home from work last week. I dropped it off at the shop here in town and had them do a valve adjustment and check into the knocking, well, the valves were fine but the knocking is still there. They were supposed to start tearing the engine down last wed. but I haven't heard anything since.

I'm going to swing in tomorrow and check on it and look at a Honda 919 that's in there. Depending on what they say or don't say I might run down to Macon and see what Capitol City Cycle has sitting in there, I'm debating on picking up something else since I do have a buyer secured for the M and I'm not leaving as soon as thought (I'll send you a pm about that).

Just put a batwing fairing on, had to make my own mounting brackets and the fork clamps are for Memphis Shades lowers. The brackets are painted black now.

womper · 05-12-2009, 06:02 AM

took mine for a ride last night... then noticed that someone must have vandalized my bike since both my fog lights are gone. to bend the brackets i made... you'd have to put a LOT of force on them... well.. they be bent, and the lights are gone.

bastards.

and my bike is in a locked garage too... i suspect it's the same people that took my horn last year...

Yeah, that's pure BS there too. Too many ruffians about these days....I remember when I was younger (and I'm only 26 now) we were able to leave the keys in the cars in the driveway of our house that also was never locked.

One thing I never understood was messing with peoples vehicles....just pure wrong.

I remember those days also. And that is wrong...no matter how pissed off I get I'll never mess with someones vehicle. Even if it is a Ford
