Kudos.

Hope the usual suspects "behave". :lol:
Hope is a dangerous thing. Kind of like wishing.

I think you should definitely lower your expectations regarding this behavior.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

In that case, video should always be at the ready for posterity, and for evidentiary purposes.

As I always tell my students regarding video. "Do NOT, under any circumstance, provide video evidence that you committed an offense by videotaping an event that could get uploaded to the internet"

Therefore, cameras videotaping said likely misbehavior at EOM will not be allowed! LOL

Finished up the prep on Renee for EOM. Previously, I did the oil, and diff. fluid, and checked brake pads. I have been getting an intermittent flashing abs light. Comes and goes, not sure abs was working. Saw the thread from a while ago about Wheaties abs issues, so I dove into it today. Flushed the brake fluid and clutch fluid, cleaned the abs sensors, lubed the the levers and brake pedal. Then I pulled the plastics to get to the abs test harness from Razerman. Ran the abs function test three times for a good flush. Checked for codes, holy sheep dip Batman! ABS 11-Front sensor, 23-Brake circuit, 25-Front sensor, 52-Volts high, 53-Volts low. I wonder if some of these were created during the break switch recall earlier this year. Guess I did not have abs with all those codes. Cleared all codes. We'll see if the issue is solved. See you guys Thursday!

Stored codes are history, active codes display on the dash.... clear them.... most likely was sensors or running rear wheel on centerstand. Brake switch issues should only affect cruise. Go for a test ride and see what comes back.

Let's see, pinion gear, check, ring gear, check. Converts horizontal rotation of driveshaft to vertical rotation of the rear wheel, check. Takes hypoid gear oil, check. JSNS

Yeah, I always feel sparkly clean after getting splashed by semis sending water from the ground surface onto my riding wear. :lol:

Road thru rain to get to EOM last year. Good weather once we got there. Thursday looks like I could get wet on and off. Not the frog strangler like last year, I hope. I knew I shouldn't have wiped it down.

Where is differentiation taking place?

A differential is a 3 input/output device in which the ratios may dynamically change but the sum is always the same.
