    Carbon Build up what causes it...

    Hey guys, I have a major problem. I have a 2012 super tenere (also have a 2019 and had a 2018 before that) that's at a dealer in Phoenix having the engine rebuilt because of extreme carbon and some kind of dirt ingestion (according to the dealer). My question is, how the hell does this happen...

    Valve adjustment - more lessons learned

    So the fitment application doesn't really matter as long as it's 9.48, correct. I see one for an Arctic cat that's that size, just wanted to make sure it will work before I order it.

    Wheel Bearings

    I just did mine, 36k miles. Just throwing some info out there, feel free to add. The Pit Posse bearing removal tool was the WRONG SIZE. My front bearings were in between the 20mm and 25mm collets that come with the kit, even though Amazon said it would fit...I used an AutoZone pilot bearing...

    My bizarre & seemingly unsolvable cruise control issues...hoping for new ideas.

    Sorry for the late reply. Ok, so here's what happened, I noticed the relay wasn't releasing so I shook the relay and the problem seemed to subside (for about 20 minutes). I noticed that they problem still remained and that the failure to deenergize only happened with the front brake switch (so...

    I used the term because it's a solenoid type relay, perhaps it's not a word used much anymore. It's because it uses a solenoid to close the contacts under energisation.

    I didn't take a pic, but when they get back to me with the part # I'll post it. When I get the part I'll take a pic. But it's just a regular square solenoid. When I install, I'll take a pic of the exact location on the electrical panel.

    Anyhow, here's what I have. If it helps great. Started troubleshooting the front brake switch (fault code 90). After disassembling and cleaning the switch, I noticed that I was able to reproduce the fault. Specifically, I could hear the brake light switch solenoid (inside the electrical panel)...

    Just kind of a long reply and fairly specific. Didn't want to clog up the thread.
