Why We Drive | Automotive Short Film
มุมมอง 13814 วันที่ผ่านมา
A short film taking a look at how a random act of kindness can have an impact, and why cars are more than a piece of metal.

Seeing as the competition is over, I've decided to upload it here to my youtube channel to share with you all. ...

    I disagree, they are a cruiser. Cruisers are for what you mentioned at the end, it's for around town and on backroad 2 lane highways where the speed limit is 55-60. It's a 500 CC bike, they aren;t sup[posed to go anything faster than that and anything faster than that isn't "Cruising" anyway.

    Hopefully my comment will help someone. I wasted time and money, and replaced the Starter Motor and the Starter Relay fuse for nothing. On my car, I figured out that it was the Neutral Safety Switch. You can check by putting the e-brake on, turning on the car, push down the brake pedal, then put the car into Neutral, and start the car. If the car starts, then you have a faulty Neutral Safety Switch. It cost 20 dollars on eBay. You can also check the EFI Relay fuse. You can take the fuse from FAN1, and plug it into the EFI location. The entire starter circuit is: 40A Main fuse, 7.5A AM2 fuse, Ignition Switch, Neutral Safety Switch, ST(Starter) Relay fuse, and finally the Starter Motor.

    Bought a 2007 C90T for my son recently. Paid $1900. It needed some TLC and still needs some more. However, we towed it to Flagstaff from Denver last week and rode 600 miles over 3 days. It was our first motorcycle trip. The Boulevard was a joy to ride (we switched bikes on and off). Very comfortable and not one hiccup. Did fine everywhere we went. Interstates at 75mph, mountains full of switch backs, canyons and city streets. No, it's not a Harley, but did just fine for us.

    So if you turn car on and it has high idle, then drops its a bad valve? Or only if it stays up there or at 1.5, mines revs high at start then drops below to .9 after couple mins

    • @autos_in_review

      A high idle from a cold start is normal. If the engine is at operating temperature and the idle is still at 1500 rpms, or you notice a constant idle surge then yes, there is an issue.

    @1203cc 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I owned the exact same year and model of Jackal. I agree that the stock seat on the bike isn't very good and caused some discomfort after an hour of riding. My simple solution to the issue was to ride the bike with my feet on the passenger pegs sort of rear set style, which took my weight off of my tailbone and put my torso weight on top of my butt. Obviously you can't access the foot controls as easily riding the bike in this manner but it made a huge difference in how long I could tolerate riding the bike. I would have no issue riding the bike for 2 or more hours with my feet on the passenger pegs. Another couple of things I would like to add. These V11 bikes can't be ridden like typical cruisers. You really can't lug the engine around at 2000RPM or less like a long stroke cruiser engine. The sweet spot for these V11 twins is 3000RPM and up. Once you get your head around the fact the V11 needs some revs for optimum functionality they really are sublime motorcycles to ride. Valve adjustments on these bikes is an absolute pleasure to perform and downright peaceful if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. I use Mobil 1 automotive oil filters on my Guzzi's and Motul 10W60 engine oil and that quiet's down the top end valve train chatter quite a bit. When people ask why I like to ride Guzzi's I always say that "Guzzi's don't do any one thing really great, but they do everything really well". The Jackal model in particular is a Jack of all trades sort of bike. It's the sort of bike that would perform reasonably well at Tail of the Dragon and then you could load it up and it would haul you and your gear across the country. All the while giving you adequate tank range and comfort and above average reliability. Good, solid bikes overall.
