Well crap!!! Me and Bling! spent all day working on the 'Prillers today. His bike is in tip-top shape. Mine, however is having problems. My clutch slave cylinder is hosed, and so I will have to get a new one for $85.00. Plus, when we were pulling the caps off the spark plugs to change them, the freaking WIRES came out of the caps on two of the four plugs!! Ruined. Now I need a new set. So, if I can't get the parts before Friday my trip to Deal's Gap may be ruined. :-( And since I couldn't get any fire to my rear cylinder I couldn't sync my throttle bodies and get them all up to par. The good news is that my valves are within clearance specs so I won't be needing a valve job any time soon. Take care and happy riding! --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!

Well, as it turns out ALL the Euro stores are closed today (as are most other dealers) so I couldn't find out if they had any clutch slaves in stock. If they don't have them in stock, it would mean an order from Aprilia and there goes vacation. So....I called an after market racing company in Ca. They make a slave and plug wires for my bike and they said they would be here by Wed. To make a long story short, $230.00 later I may having a running bike again. :-( We'll see..... --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
DFW....but too late, now. Just curious, does Eximport operate on Mondays? --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
Most Euro dealers are a bit higher than the Jap dealers. Not too uncommon. I guess it's the whole Euro thing - bikes cost more, parts cost more, so labor is also more expensive. Anyway, I already ordered my parts so it's too late now. I am hoping they are here by tomorrow. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
