    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    We're all good now. It was the starter solenoid, not factory. With the new, factory starter solenoid (letting it cool and doubly securing the connectors) and a topped-off battery, she cranks immediately if not sooner. Thanks all for your help.

    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    Those are good questions. The way things played out with this bike, there were too many variables to be sure of anything. That said, I have installed a battery-charging QD, and I'm keeping it completely topped off now. I'm allowing the glow plug light to stop blinking completely. I'll be...

    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    Well, when I first got it, it would crank really fast, now it takes longer. Not sure why.

    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    I have an OEM one on the way, I will update you when it arrives. I'll probably go ahead and upgrade the hot-side wire to a larger diameter too, since it was glowing red last time - though that could have been an issue with the solenoid.

    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    Replicas for sure. I'll reach out to the dealer and see if can source a genuine part. I can concur that the starter and solenoid indeed look original.

    M1030M1 Diesel Leak

    Can one of you guys post a picture of your starter solenoid? I'm in my third one. In fact, the last one caught on fire after the second one melted. The ones I'm using appear to just be standard KLR650 relays. If not a picture, a part number or identifier or anything. Thanks so much!

    broke an injector today

    :x I've been noticing that I smelled fuel when I drove her. Today, I noticed it was coming from the "T" on the fuel return of cyl 1. I took the injector nozzle assembly out, and started to disassemble it to clean it (per SOP) and I sheared off the alignment pins. **** me. Anyone know where...

    Well crap. I searched for similar threads and didn't see any. My bad.

    Parts conversion list?

    If there isn't one out there, I'd be happy to start and maintain one in this thread. Thoughts? This is the closest I can find: M44-Series Truck Parts Cross-Reference

    Oil leak?

    Oh!! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was a link. That does answer my question!

    Oil leak?

    Well the pipe starts on the top of the valve covers, but it does run next to the turbo and down almost to the axle.

    Oil leak?

    I noticed that there was a good amount of oil on the top of the axle and inside the bay. While investigating, I noticed a pipe coming off the top of the valve covers that just opened up next to the fender and looks to be the source. The pipe is flared, and looks like it should have a hose on...

    You guys called it. Inside rear left is flat.

    New to the Deuce

    I would definitely check it out before buying it. It seems Deuces come in widely varying conditions, and you can easily get a Lemon. I shopped for a good one for years before buying this one. The guys here can tell you what things to pay close attention to when you go inspect it. (I'm rather...

    I will check it out first thing tomorrow. Visually, I didn't see one, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

    New to the Deuce

    Well I brought her home today. The ride was nice until the last 10 or so miles and the rear end was shaking really bad. Nothing smelled strange, and all looks well on a glance over. Wondering if there is anything I should check out. I plan to do a full inspection in the coming days. More pics...
