  4. Back at it. 2 Jan 2020 12:54 What is a good source for engine gasket kits, upper and lower?
  5. Back at it. 26 Dec 2019 21:45 Okay, I've been MIA for a while. Back in May 2018 I was working on the bike: I've finally gotten around to putting a few hours into the project again. This may be a long-term project. But today, with a little help from…

  8. Gear Indicator 1 May 2018 17:23 Same with me. I've never ridden a bike with a gear indicator, and I find the only time I'd really benefit from having one might be to confirm I'm in top gear on the highway. The rest of the time my butt-o-meter seems to…

  10. Rebuilding my '91. The journey begins. 30 Apr 2018 13:13 Wow. Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm starting to feel like I can tackle this project. I don't mind learning as I go. I'm sure there are many highs and lows still to come. As for miles, the bike has 64,000 km…

  12. Weird idle on my '90 (video) 13 Jul 2016 16:16 Compression check OK on that cylinder? Are the carb boots between the carb and the head dried/hardened and possibly leaking air?

  15. Clunking in Front end 26 May 2010 16:44 My first thought is steering head bearings. However, I had a clunking from the suspension when I was riding over bumps. I've just overhauled the forks (new seals and oil, and a thorough cleaning) and I am sure that the…
