I always thought it was called the cowl? The cost for that piece depends on the condition. In pristine condition, it could go for $100+. Even...
^^ um, yeah. Do what he said. :)
^^ Yes. When the bike is cold, it should be between the low and high mark. So when topping, you should top all the way up to the high mark. The...
F.i.b? Funeral In a Box? Umm, come to think of it, the one time my back tire separate from the rim I was doing 120mph on the I-94. I'm thinking...

Another vote for 155mph on a stock third gen. Well, it was a speedo indicated 154, at least. But I didn't dwell too long on the dial, and assumed...
I wondered the same thing. But there's so much other stuff wrong with my bike that I would probably never get around to it. Although I do have a...
Discovered something new So after getting my new battery, I looked closer at the old battery. The sticker said "sealed battery. Never add...
I could be wrong, but I think the bike would start even if the rectifier was dead. So test it with a good battery, maybe?
Thanks for the suggestions. I ordered a new battery. But I'm also considering changing my kill switch out for a temporary push-to-break switch....
The question is: "How long should a good battery be able to crank the starter?" Now, I did search, and I found a similar post from a ways back....
What catches my eye is "no rips in the seat." That's pretty impressive for a '91. I'd think he's taken good care of it. I'd be pretty interested...
Try the above methods! I finished reinstalling a new chain, and the hub works perfectly, now. Movement of the eccentric hub of just a few degrees...
I just looked up yer old post. Yeppers... sounds so familiar. I have more sympathy to those "scammer" mechanics after this experience. I have...
My local motorcycle dealer doesn't work on bikes older than 10 years, so getting my newly acquired "vintage" viffer up and running again has been...
Ahhh, my mechanic musta been homeschooled. :)
Ok, guys. Thanks for the tips. Leaving WD-40 overnight and tapping with a screwdriver got it unstuck, I think. Now it moves, but requires a...
Sure, there's some needless risk involved with the Wabbit method. There are safer, but slower alternatives. Funny, you could argue the same things...
Great to know. Thanks for the input! ** For me it's the '91 that breaks my heart to look at.
from the high def pics, it looks like the F3 forks are exactly the same, too. I just missed the winning bid on some 4th gen forks by 20 dollars,...
