Put the bearings in the freezer too...
Thanks for the update on the WD-40. I was just thinking of something that would lubricate the cylinder walls without fouling the plugs when...
As a rule of thumb - if the wobble starts at over 35 mph, it's the rear end (rear suspension/swingarm bearings) causing the wobble. If the wobble...
Use a hair dryer to heat the boots for removal and install. Makes them more pliable. Lube the boots with Sylglide for easier install.
Make sure all gas is drained from carbs/tank. -Remove all spark plugs -Spray fogging oil (preferable) or WD-40 into spark plug holes to lubricate...
On the older V65 Magnas/Sabres there is a recessed castlenut on the clutch hub. Only way to get it out is to use the special tool or a fabbed socket.
Those nuts are typically called castle nuts. Here's a pic of a socket ground down to fit a castle nut: [img] You can grind a slight taper...
I was thinking it couldn't be the kill switch because the bike fired up. If the bike starts, it's not the kill switch. And if it was the kill...
The shaft driven V-4's of the mid 80's turn opposite of the same era VFR's. Won't work...
This site has dual headlights: http://www.streetfightersinc.com/919Accessories.htm The Buell Ulysses have dual headlights. Just remove the wire...
No, it's not the switch. Pinched vent line, fuel line or clogged fuel filter. See my previous post about draining the float bowls.
Bad..Bad...Bad... 1. No fuse - can fry the pump. 2. If the bike has carbs, and the floats are not perfect, it will fill the cylinders up with...
When it dies, drain the float bowls on the carbs. If you don't get any fuel out, you now know the problem.
I have the same setup. Go one step up on the slow and main jets. You have different sized front and rears, so IIRC, the fronts can be used on...
Yeah, go slower... Really, there is not much you can do on "steep" downhill turns other than take into consideration that gravity will increase...
Another tip, get your butt off the seat so the bike can move around to find traction - it will "float" beneath you.
Make sure it is a "V-30" engine. As far as fitting, I really don't think so. The Magna uses a double backbone frame design - while the 'Ceptor...
Concerning the J.C. Maneuver... Holding the bars loosely does have its advantages. My friend has a masters in thermal fluid dynamics and he...
To replace the piston, you need to split the engine case - which means replace both headgaskets - which means resurfacing the block. You'll need...
Actually, slowing down will make it worse by putting more load on the forks. You want less load - not more. Lean back and accelerate. This will...
