Anyone know what this spring is for?
I found this spring in the V of the engine right below the choke cable. It wasn't attached to anything... I just wonder where it came from.
Thanks!

Opps! Your right, it looks like a piston return spring. Better replace both of 'em.

Actually, it looks an awful lot like a Jonhson rod retainer spring. Many of you may not be familiar with this part but it is used to retain the blue compression 
Hope this helps

Looks like a "post-er" trying to get everyone to view his site. Personally I try not to reply to "newby post-ers" until they log a few posts.
This way they weed themselves out and most people can see if they are legit.
The spring is to hold the gauze in place for the svector valve.

The person who started the thread (DaxMiddler).
I've seen it before where someone logs on a forum and asks a question then refers you to their other site(for whatever reason) without getting to know the site(in this case SHF.com) or it's members. I did not see anything in their signature to indicate that they are/were a repeat post-er.
Looks "Newby" to me.

The new ones use a hydrolic pump to lift the rod to full extension..
Older models require retrofitting either an air pump to replace worn out fluid chambers or a stiffer spring for full rod extension.
In any case...judging by the penny comparrison, a moment of silence is in order if that is a Johnson rod spring.

Suuuure.... n00b if it makes you happy. I'm just new to owning a SH, and my other site is where I host pics I'll post on here... I figured you guys would appreciate good looking girls on sportbikes... especially since one is a SH.
So I'm guessing the muffler bearing is much like a board stretcher?

I'm pretty sure that spring has to do with the hydroponic system of the bike. It connects the piping to the spark and it's what helps your bike get higher. I've heard it doesn't always work the first time though. VERY popular on the California models.
