The reason those pads are wedge shaped is because the caliper pivots rather than slides as every other caliper you've seen. As the pads wear the...
If it's got a bushing under the seal then they're all there.
No bushing on the inner tube like most forks so it doesn't knock the upper bushing and seal out when you pull it. Remove the snap ring and pry...
I like to take a sharp instrument and scribe a mark on the bowl at the target fuel height. Then I don't need to keep measuring.
"New Posts" doesn't refer to their age. It means ones you haven't read yet. When you post something it is considered read by you.
I'd suggest posting "For Sale" for premium members only. You're not Craigslist.
Agree witn Polock. No problem on the bottom end that $2 worth of new bolts won't take care of. You're going to have lots of fun with those...
Odds are the slide is gummed up with varnish. Carburetor cleaner will be the best choice to dissolve that. You don't have a rubber diaphragm to...
At the bare minimum you need to cover your expenses. I take it that the donations and advertising don't cover it. When something is optional...
I guess I don't get the point..... Remove 2 pinch bolts and you can take the whole fork to a bench to work on it.
AFAIK the point of iridium plugs is they last a long time. That's very important if you've got a car where you must partially remove the engine...
His valves aren't tight enough to cause it. I'd wet test (teaspoon of oil) next.
Yes, you want to keep the idle at the target speed. It'll move around as you adjust the sync and you use the adjuster to bring the RPMs back...
...AND all the plugs removed so you're not fighting four cylinders. You should also disconnect the TCI or coils so you don't risk damaging a coil.
The longer the hose on the gauge the more hit's it'll take to pump it up too. Also, plenty of battery juice to spin it well. Even with a good...
Something is wrong with your compression gauge, it should hold the pressure until you press the release valve. It's bleeding off somewhere.
They used a number of different blanks on each model. The bike that rolled down the line right after yours likely used a different blank. So...
It's not on the oil pan. The switch is in the crankcase, roughly just in from the left rider foot peg. It's hard to see/get to because it's...
The only time jumping a bike with a running car can be an issue is if the motorcycle has a shunt type voltage regulator. The alternator in the...
k-moe, you must be a youngster. OLDER cars work exactly the same way.
The phone number on the invoice that seems to be a mobile number. On December 17 there was an ad for a 1967 VW bus listing that as the contact...
We're only talking about the idle mixture, it has almost no effect when the throttle opens even a little. The only way you can judge it by plugs...
UNLESS someone in a cage sees the light change and runs you down while you hunt for neutral.
Electronic tach. No ratio. No place to hook up a mechanical tach. No place to connect a mechanical tach. You need an electronic tach for it....
You're heading lean rather than rich. Back it out until you see bright orange then start going in. If you don't see orange by 5 turns out you've...
+1. I don't use the color tune often, but when I do I turn it to where it just switches from orange to blue. I find that I can't see much...
Not that it's necessarily your problem, but I learned something recently and wanted to throw it where others might see it. My wife's '83 750...
There are several other tricks you can use to make a tool: 1) Short bolt with a couple nuts jammed on it. Drop in and turn with a socket. 2)...
I run Kenda Kruz on my Venture and on my wife's 750 Shadow. When her new V-STAR 650 needs shoes it'll get a set of the Kruz too. It's designed...

Or is the problem that it holds air but the bead doesn't climb up?
What k-moe said. I've got an air chuck with the guts removed I use.
Normal wear, although unusual that it is grabbing on you.
The factory put tubeless tires on. A previous owner may have put a tube in either because he used tube type tires or had trouble with the wheel...
Check the oil level. Good chance your gasoline ran into the crankcase over winter and it's quite full now. Most common reason for your problem.
So I'm curious: 100/90-19 is one of the more common tire sizes and your dealer doesn't have that on sale? Is the sale just on tires that have...
I wear a full face. Ground a good bit of the chin bar away in a slide a few years ago. Besides, covering up I'm less likely to scare other...
Make sure you get one plenty long. It's a lot easier to cut links off than it is to stretch a short one.
You'll have a better chance with the impact if you reinstall the spring first. The spring pressure helps keep the damping rod from turning....
If you need a fan you're going way too slow. You don't have electrical capacity to spare, especially at idle. Get stuck in traffic or at a long...
For the first time in years mine is ready for spring.
Without knowing the sound you heard it's hard to say for sure. Shims do often go "SNAP" as the settle into the bucket.
I think the answer is yes. If you're going to use an electronic tach you'll have to put something in for that. I'm also a VERY big fan of the...
On my Venture when I pull the front axle through it tips back onto the rear tire. I'm not sure it'll do that without all the wife's things in the...
He'll be missing the wiring and relay socket for the side stand switch and the connection for the tachometer.
Not without some modifications.
Your problem isn't the 15,500 miles - it's neglect. They can typically be repaired (assuming pistons and seals are available). Len is still your...
That's not a spacer, it's a sealing washer. You should have it there. Pop for a new jet and washer (not a kit). XJ4EVER should be able to help...
I don't specifically know about yours, but they're typically held down with a thin double sided tape. You can use a piece of mono-filament...
