  1. Thanks for the great info! I did not know there were solid shafts. This is a 15 and I will check, but probably has that. Since it is a sealed bearing- I will inspect again and may just leave it in place. I assume to remove clutch nut on this model you install the M5 screw to push against the end of the shaft, rather than jamming a torx tip in like the older ones?
  2. 2015 Explorer I need to replace the clutch fixer shaft and bearing. I removed circlip and I assume after heating the case, it should just tap out- bearing and shaft? It did not come out easily tapping from other side, so thought I would ask before trying again, perhaps with a slide hammer.
  3. Yes, that is it. I made a typo on post (fixed) 0-10
  4. Adrian told me to only use Maxima extra4. 0-10
  5. I bought a 14 new. Still one of my all time favorite bikes. I put a ton of hours on it, at 300+ the cylinder/piston looked like new. I did sell it, since I wanted to try out an EM with clutch. But since sold that (range was just too short) and picked up a 15 Explorer with 17 hours on it. I sold most of my spares with the 14 (darn it) but still have a few things.
  6. Considering EM’s past range estimates, I guess real world range will be about 30km

    You should have it now ( I think).

    Did I send it to you? Or did I forget.

    I have it, pm me your email and i will send.
  10. If I recall, changing washer/seal size can assure correct positioning.
  11. I cannot remember. I think they are straight and need a copper or copper/rubber washer/seal.
  12. I would take it nice and slow, turn in a bit, back out and back in. Just like threading. Or run a tap in first to make sure threads are clean.

    I worked really hard to get it as close to 0.6 as I can, with idle set to stock (I think 1400?). I had a BTWICE throttle body with a bypass screw, so I could change idle speed without messing everything up (although I never did)

    I think the 2012 has a four pin vrs 6 pin connector? If so, I have not done one and cannot remember how to address that.

    I do not have a modern OSSA right now, but I think I did use that sparking plug. I found it difficult to start/smooth idle if I needed to reset TPS. I also fit my ‘super easy start’ setup (do a search) which powered up everything. For me, it worked much better than the factory ‘easy start’- with additional bonus of easy priming if running out of fuel and easy trailside troubleshooting. Much, much easier to start- almost always one kick.

    Yes, I power up with a tiny Li battery. The best way to set the TPS (well, that is true for me anyway). I found I had to adjust/reset TPS about every 100 hours.
  17. I did that on my 2014 that I bought new. I used a momentary button, held it down when starting using a tiny LiPo battery. Fuel pump with run/prime and bike always started really easily. I had a thread here called ‘Super Easy Start’ if I recall. It was a long time ago

    ossa gearbox

    Lewisport in the States had a jig to replace parts on those gearboxes and had quite a lot of spares. I would check with them and see what they still have

    make sure to use the software version and maps for the older ECU- there are two different ones. The newer ECU/software allows a base fuel mixture trim, I found it makes a noticeable difference and could be something to try. Did you check with Lewisport for the fuel level sensor? I know they still have quite a few parts and something like that is likely to be a very low demand and may still have. A phone call works best.

    I have seen some serial to USB adapters fail with this sort of thing. The most reliable one I had also had a driver not updated for newer OS. An Integrated Servo I am using for my electronic lead screw- would not work with the serial/USB, even though the computer would ‘see’ it. I bought one from the servo company and it worked fine. Some laptops have a docking station that has a real serial port, or a desktop. Those would be the most reliable. But also having to find more stuff

    Are you using a ‘regular’ serial interface, or a fabricated USB one? I”ve used the factory serial, they work quite reliably. I have also made USB ones and had pretty good luck with them along with one the BTWICE made. But only on the older machines.

    I have only used Win 7 and XP. Sounds like some timing issues with the USB. I have seen that before with various equipment. Any chance you have a Win 7 machine or HD you could test?

    What version of Windows are you using?
  24. Are you looking for the drum, or the shaft?
