Huh, must be a flap covering it. Thanks, I'll poke around in that vicinity! I have the Haynes manual but it makes no mention of it other than...
Can someone point me to where the ECU is mounted on a 1999? I feel like a dunce for asking but I am in a hurry to wrap up some work and can't...
Update: six months later and my leaky fork seal returned. Apparently we didn't completely remove whatever burr caused the leaks when we polished...
That's essentially what I did just before popping off the clutch cover. I put in fresh oil + the recommended dosage of Seafoam, which is a...
Good suggestion. Thanks. Any recommendation for a high detergent oil? Is that better or worse than something like Seafoam added to existing oil?
Both fluids are still very clear and light. That said, it's coming up on a year so I should probably add it to the list soon. One fork seal just...
OK, thanks. I agree a teardown seems excessive but I hate to see my baby in such a nasty state. On the other hand, I recently did all-new...
Thanks for the replies and info so far. Forgot to mention: this is a 1999 5th Gen with 38k miles. Luckily I've moved so I have a new mechanic...
I really don't mean to start another oil war but... Recently my oil sight glass became completely clouded over. When I popped off the clutch...
Thanks bmart Just to keep a catalog of available options for anyone that finds this thread in the future, I found two lower price options...
Elvish - that looks pretty good. Is that custom or is it a company that makes a lot of them? I wonder if they would ship to the USA
That was a pain but I got it off with the above technique. Still took about 20 minutes of frustration, and the screw and old bar weight got...
Thanks for the tips! I picked up an impact driver since I didn't already have one. I couldn't get it to budge the loctite free, even with some...
:-( I've never disassembled the innards of the bars before so it didn't occur to me that whatever the screw went into could just spin in there....
Thanks. I was afraid of that. First thing I tried was using a drill with a Phillips bit, but that just spun it all faster and didn't break the...
Apparently I made a couple bad decisions that are biting me now. A couple weeks ago I noticed the screw that holds my throttle-side bar end...
Yeah, all stock on mine (so far). I have Corbin Beetle Bags which pretty much require that the entire rear end stays stock.
That is sage life advice right there. ;) I'll do that since it sounds like there's nothing exactly comparable here.
Well, whadya know. I don't see any that are as slick as the Harris Unit. That one replaces the chain guard with a new one that has a hugger...
I installed my shiny new Nitron shock and now am interested in a hugger to keep it shiny and protected. I sent these guys an order after reading...
