I set I set it to 1100 RPM with a tach when I 1st got the bike now after 2000 miles it's dropped to 900 and even stalled at a light. Bumped it backup to 1100 seems fine. Anyone else have the experience for...

    Engine and Valve cover paint question

    I would assume doing it in the frame would just suck and possibly not turn out good.

    I did 1000 mile round trip total out to Johnstown and back...most all highway was 90mph 5500 rpm. Full face helmet and no windshield. I was pretty comfortable (for not having floorboards, windshield/fairing, backrest) but if I had an open face helmet I would have been killed by bugs and an...

    Question on washer for flywheel bolt

    I used that nice thick washer in conjunction with my puller when removing starter clutch. It got smashed/bent/inverted. I went and got a very similar size thick washer (but not quite as thick as oem) and it looks like it will work. Only concern is tightening that flywheel bolt to 96...

    Starter clutch removed....polish up face or not?

    Got everything apart and have new starter clutch and new bolts and gaskets. Will clean everything real good, got red loctite and torque Wrench at the ready. Should I polish/smooth up the slightly marred surface or leave it alone (where bottom of starter clutch rests)

    This Harbor Freight puller work for starter clutch??

    Got my Gear Wrench puller... Seems sturdier than the Harbor Freight unit. Waiting on extra 12.9 bolts and one more gasket to finish the job.

    This Harbor Freight puller work for starter clutch??

    Wanted to see if anyone tried and had bad luck. I got to handle a HF one and it is flimsy but had been used a lot. I ordered a gearwrench unit and good 12.9 blots via Amazon cheap. Got 10 bolts 70mm long and only $30 for everything shipped.
