Re: clutch quit working

clutch quit working

While riding in stop and go traffic going up the summit in 90 degree weather, my clutch quit working- that is the lever went in and out without engaging.

Re: Let's order DARKSIDE TIRES

Maybe you should start a count up to 500. I love my darkside and would order another if it's available

Re: Blackwing vs Superbrace fork brace

I tried calling superbrace and their toll free and regular land line both give you a recording that your call cannot be completed. Doesn't sound too promising

Re: Blackwing vs Superbrace fork brace

Yes, and their web page gives no information on how to order. Their phone number just goes to voicemail. And superbrace says that they are out of stock

Blackwing vs Superbrace fork brace

I am shopping around for a front fork brace. I bought a cheap knockoff and it is junk. So I am looking for the Superbrace or Blackwing brace, and am having trouble finding either. Does anybody know anything about this?

Re: Lane Wanders

Finally got the new steering head bearings replaced. It did the trick! I tried everything I could to test the old bearings with no conclusion. There was no play or wiggle in them that I could feel. Apparently microscopic wear is hard to detect. But the new bearings made in Germany by the way are fan...

Re: Lane Wanders

I am currently running dunlops. I experimented with different tires with no change. I"m going to replace the steering bearings ASAP. That seems to be the only thing left.

Re: Lane Wanders

I've already done that and I can feel no movement and there is no rust or corrosion in sight. So today I am starting on the steering bearing replacement.( with the wonderful docs article )

Re: Lane Wanders

I have tried all the tests for loose front end to the best of my ability, and my bike exibits none of those symptoms. But I am going to R&R the front steering bearings anyway.

It had a Metzler, and now I'm running a Dunlop. Experimented with tire pressures, no Change. Just bought steering head bearings, and will try that next although there is no noticeable play in the steering

Lane Wanders

New tires, new rear shocks, new fork seals, new fork brace, and my 99 1500 still wanders in and out of a lane. Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Let's order DARKSIDE TIRES

Just mounted my new tire and took a test ride. Is anybody else have a tire flap rubbing slightly inside the fender just above the muffler collector?

won't trac

My new (to me) 97 GL 1500 won't trac, it wants to wander from the line I'm in. If you put a level from one mirror to the other, it is constantly switching up and down. It has newly rebuilt front forks with progressive springs, new tires, and a new fork brace. The next thing I can think of is new ste...
