When I was in my 20's we used to go to Templeton every weekend. That place was awesome. There were a couple large sand pits, and miles and miles of trails - pretty much every style of riding right in one location. Loved that place. We pretty much lived there every weekend in the early to mid 90's. We'd park, then ride trails, cross Rt.2, and play around in that pit next to the highway. Some crazy steep hills there. Used to love that. I think I have a picture of me riding the hill in the area where we used to park - can't seem to find it though ...

 

Last time I was there was in '04 too, in winter. I had just bought a brand new Kawasaki V-Force 700, and the wife and I took a cruise around on some snowmobile trails. Wow - learned real quick that people don't like that, LOL. Some waved, others flipped me off, some swore at the top of their lungs at me through their helmets. Didn't figure it out until I got home and told someone who was into snowmobiles where I was riding ... :lol:

 

That place is totally off limits to motorized recreation now too. This place is getting worse and worse by the year ...

 

 

 

Yeah it's sad. NH still had a good amount of class 6 roads but who knows how long they'll last.

Got the fronts off before calling it

If I didn't live 3k miles away I'd help you. Be done in no time with everything

My back is killing me. Got the fronts together. Now after a break i need to start on the rear. Have the swamp cooler going. Still have to call my stepdad to get these bled. After wheel 3 i will text them. Wish i bought the motive bleeder, but could not justify the $70 on it

Done. Just need to bleed now. Tires are marked for rotation.

New rears

I have a motive. Used it one time and that's it. Tried three different attempts at using it when I bought it and all it did was leak everywhere. Couldn't get it to seal to the master cylinder to save my life. Really pissed me off.

I cant get the back right to bleed. A little fluid comes out, no real pressure. Caliper doesnt even move when pedal pushed

Supposed to bleed that one first

Chris, check that bleeder for machining debris, or a missing hole inside - believe it or not, I've seen the latter more than once the past 5 years. Had a bleeder once that wasn't even drilled on a brand new caliper, wtf.

 

 

I just did a front brake overhaul on a '96 Plymouth Breeeeeeeze. That's how you have to say it. Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze .... :lol:

 

It left half itself in my driveway, after I hammered on it for so long with an air chisel that it bored a hole right through the rotor. Took me 20 straight minutes with the chisel and fire wrench to extract it from the hub. Welcome to the Northeast! :rolleyes:

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
