Not '85, but an '86. Took pictures of the area you were asking, should be similar. 86 Aspy shelter wiring UL.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring SLe.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring SLd.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring SLc.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring SLb.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring SLa.JPG 86 Aspy shelter wiring LR.JPG 86...

If you have oil leaking from the U-joint boot, that oil will travel down to the final drive and leak out there also (as they say been there done that). Fix that oil seal on the output shaft of the engine and the oil shouldn't be dripping out of the assembly.

Not a source for new but, http://straightwings.com/ has lots of used parts.

Sounds like a cell phone on vibrate mode, answer it

Sorry no help, that's weird

No help on the idea but, I've just gotten in the habit of hitting the 'On' several times when I get into the 'long' turn situation. After the turn, the signal self cancels like it normally does.

I have a small piece of 1/2" thick plywood that the centerstand is on, find it helps with getting it off the centerstand.

My tires are E3s, front 130/80 B-16, rear MV 85 B-15 (fyi)

Haven't noticed anyone mention the swingarm bearings, they could be worn and causing a 'notchiness' (my word) cause the swingarm to not smoothly transition from full compression to full extension. That's my guess

I had my carbs done by a professional and he removed and re-set them along with floats and everything inside. I've had no issues since it was done, about 4 years ago.

Try these guys/gals? I've found more than one part there!

^^^That!^^^ Amen!

I've not used these people but have heard other good reviews

Might try them

Nice, bit far away though

Merry Christmas y'all!

Merry Christmas to y'all!

I've used Dri-Slide for years. It's a moly lube. Might be available in your area?

"Is there any easier way ?"

Yes, pay someone to fo it.....

Maybe the ignition switch is dirty? Maybe a loose power or ground connection?

Are you speaking of the blue connector about 3" long? Made like an edge connection? It might be the factory radio connector.

^^Image of suspected connector^^

Had one, now it's a shelf alarm

Another possibility would be a worn lever bushing, not allowing the lever to engage the switch properly.

Maybe an exhaust leak? Mine had a tick and it was the muffler assy to head pipe connection loose.

I didn't realize they had them for the '86. Now I know what my replacement will be when I need one, thanks. Most people either love them or hate them, just because of looks.

Condolences for your loss. I offer my prayers to all affected by her passing at such a young age.

Welcome back, returning is almost more of a headache sometimes than the vacation
