The fastest way to do a quick test of your charging system is to measure voltage at the battery with the engine running, and low beam on. Battery...
If you have measured the lash, pulled the pucks and know exactly what size you need - your local dealer may exchange sizes with you, however some...
One more to add: if the tank or fuel lines are "shedding" particles of whatever, that can also get stuck in the needle seat area, which also will...
Another thing that can cause this type of problem is loose/dirty battery terminl connections. Be sure to check the bolts holding the positive...
1 - My experience with "gooped-up" m. cyl's is that generally a rebuild kit may be your best bet. Also check the diapragm in the cap to be sure...

bigger numbers = larger hole in the jet, whether it's a main, pilot, or air jet. In the case of an air jet, it can affect many different...
Sweet pic, Nick... thanks for posting that. Mine are all back together and not leaking. Also cleaned out the m.cyl as the brake fluid in there...
True, but as almost everything's disassembled and cleaned up, they would be useless. It's what Rick calls "dust seals" in his write-up. I took...
Another possibility could be eccessive electrical drain on your battery as your charging voltage appears good. There's an easy way to check:...
Well, parts are off the bike. The actuators move freely when gently moved with pliers. No evidence of a brake fluid leak from there......
A spring-type centerpunch works best for any type. if the pin as one end that's larger, use the punch on the opposing side. If both are the same...
Will keep you posted - brought home tools from work tonight so that I can pull the forks and tear them down. Parts should be in middle of next...
Oh, and the adjusters do move freely in both directions... -M
Thanks for all the words, guys: Rick, thanks for the repost- that was the write-up I turned up with a search. More clarification about the...
Patient is an 83 Seca 900. I have narrowed down my "weeping" fork oil leak to coming from where the antidive piston housing joins the antidive...
