If you just want a bias-ply rear only you can probably find one installed and balanced for $100. That's if you bring the wheel in yourself. It's...
Check out the exploded parts diagrams at www.partsfish.com. I use them often and they come in handy. You will need to register, but no big deal.
Do you have access to an air compressor? If so, I would turn the petcock to the "on" position and blow air through the petcock outlet to try and...
Thanks. The drop in revs has not occurred again, even after running warm in traffic. I think I may have had some water in the gas or something....
Hey, I still give "the wave" to folks on mopeds and scooters. :biggrin:
6 bikes total. 2 street, 1 dual-sport, 3 dirt.
By chance I just stumbled upon this... [img]
Yeah, my legs get toasty and it hasn't even been hot here yet. Just wait until summer!
I pulled the whole caliper today and cleaned the pistons and cylinders. Sure enough the ends of the pistons were gummed up and one was sticking...
Is there any way I can tell when the fan comes on? On a warm day sitting in traffic I'm running just a tick above 1/2 on the gauge. Today while...
Thank keny. So far the Sport Demons are great. I haven't pushed them very hard, but just on my daily commute they are performing well. Yes the...
Mine seems to be doing better now. I think it's because I changed the oil. I was running some cheapo stuff in there as just a flush before...
I honestly figured the brakes were just tight because both the rotor and the pads were new. I didn't have any trouble sliding the pads over the...
Thanks guys. Yeah I know I got in a rush. I'm usually a very patient and careful tech, but I just got everything back together and was eager to...
Is it necessary to disconnect the brake line to clean the caliper pistons correctly?
I probably had air in the lines and should have bled them before riding the bike. I'll be peeved if I warped a new rotor. Live and learn eh....
I'm still trying to figure out how that would give me a pulsing feeling though. The bike rolls fine now when I'm not on the brakes.
Naw, I didn't clean the pistons. I know, shame on me. I'm thinking I may just pull it apart for cleaning/inspection if I still have trouble...
Sounds like you are on the right track. I don't see why it would not work. Not sure if this is in your budget, but it sounds like a weekend...
That's what I was thinking. The EBC rotor looks sturdy, sturdier than OEM. You would probably need to get it super hot to warp. I'll give it...
