Major waste of money there.
Make sure the steering head bearings aren't too tight. A wandering bike is usually the way too tight bearings will make their presence felt.
Exactly! That's why you generally don't spray degreaser directly on the chain. I used to have a friend who went to the car wash and cleaned...
But don't forget that WD-40 does a pretty good job of dissolving grease too. And it's thin enough that it may get past the O-rings in the chain. I...
Break or remove the chain and see if the problem persists.
Nice. Mine's an '86 also, but I've got the front wheel off a '92 and the rear wheel conversion from a GSXR 750, so I can use modern 17" rubber.
You've got a great start with your bikes anyway. :peaceful:
I've got the hybrid lift for my '99 and it is definitely top drawer kit.
Of course it's just a guess since the guy isn't here to tell us what happened, but I'd say that he was under power through the gravel. The front...

The main reason for a crescent wrench is for the odd time that you need to remove a bolt that has a nut on the back side. Pashnit.com has a...
Yep, shit happens...sometimes.
I don't remember seeing that in the tool kit for my '99, but then I've not looked in it for 10 years or more. Personally if I were assembling a...
You put your money in a savings account, and you're basically losing money. They're paying less than 1%, some less than .5%. Might as well put it...
Oops, double post.
I use the Marc Parnes balancer and it works great. Never tried the balancing beads, and don't intend to.
Nice job.
Kind of. The fluid return hole is located under that flat piece of sheet metal that sits in the master cylinder. If you lift up that piece you'll...
Ack, that new chain laying on that dirty work table/lift. That's the kind of stuff that drives me crazy about someone else working on my bike.
Sounds like a great time. You really have to work at it to not enjoy riding in Colorado.
