I have a friend... who took his '00 up to an indicated 160 mph on a straight and lonesome South Dakotan road, with big floppy soft saddlebags and...
The pulling thing might have to do with weight loading. When I have a lot of weight in one saddlebag and the other is empty, I have to lean way...
Indeed--check with your local dealer, I wouldn't be surprised if they have it in stock. That said, I have a set of extra front brakes off a '01 I...
Same deal here, y2k Viff with slight tick when the engine is warm. You can check the valve clearance, otherwise I understand electronic injection...
Zep-45 is a spray-on lubricant that service technicians use, it's supposed to be better than WD-40. You won't see it on the shelf anywhere, but...
I've done it for two or three seconds when I'm "in the zone", so to speak, making a complete (if still illegal) stop. Only on side streets,...
I've never had to deal with a tight pin like that, but here's my $.02: WD-40, or Zep 45 if you have access to it; maybe put the vice grips on the...
I just replaced my plugs and I got the same thing, a little bit of black stuff on the threads that may or may not be engine oil. No functionality...
Very true, and I'll be glad for it. But it would've been easy to figure out what new parts I needed in advance, buy them and have the job done in...
Whoops--I tried a brass brush, which seems to be harder than the valve cover, a plastic brush, which didn't do squat, then the chemical gasket...
I only notice the tick when the engine is warmed up; wouldn't an injector tick from startup? If it is the injectors, does that mean they're...
I just checked my valve clearance, and everything is in spec. Most of the intakes are .007 in., a couple are .005. The exhausts are all on the...
normal sounds I get the "paper crunch" reliably when I pull the clutch almost all the way in and I'm in gear. I'm pretty sure that's the...
:rofl: That brings it all back. Have you read the Rolling Stone interview? It's from last year, but I just ran accross it....
Um, lack of washer may be my problem. Thanks for pointing that out! Jagshemash! I am number two television producer in all of Kazakhstan.
Simple problem, simple fix Turns out, the steering stem nut was loose--so loose, I could turn it by hand. I torqued it down to the 76 ft. lbs...
:nod: Good advice. I'll definitely have to fix this before I wind up in a ditch...
Thanks for your input guys. Is there a sure way to check if it's the head bearings prior to disassembly? I thought if the head bearings were...
I've recently noticed an audible clunk when I grab the front brake suddenly or go over decent-sized bumps. I can also feel it in the bars, like...
Well as soon as I got back I looked up my mileage at departure, did the math, shit a brick, and changed the oil. It wasn't quite as dark as...
