Hope you heal up quickly sir!

If it's similar to mine (it runs very well) the mileage (km) will depend on the speeds or RPM. When I run above 3200 RPM the mileage will average 36-38 mpg (sorry I'm not metric smart), running below that will result an average of 38-42 mpg. I typically am two up also (fyi).

Might try these guys, if you haven't already

I've found some obscure parts there

Per this parts diagram there's only an 'A' rocker and a 'B' rocker.

The only printed manual information I've ever found is in a Lexus manual. Service: 7 years/70k miles, change them out. When thinking of rubber things it appears that all have a service life, but not all have an expires on date :shock: Most timing belts appear to fail as missing teeth, they are just ...

Where do you see the oil? I found small oil signs on the wheel and it wound up that the drive shaft seal on the motor was leaking into the differential area and was slinging onto the wheel. When I replaced the rear differential (due to splines wore out), I found a very nice used differential at a br...

SNIP The goal: When my wife and I do start making more significant trips I am positive will we end up encountering a wide range of conditions. We have a decent jack for her with removable rain liner and thermo vest, but no decent riding pants. The problem there is that she is short. Only 5' and not...

You might want to try Novus plastic polish, etc. They have three (1,2 &3) that are designed to restore the windscreen. It sounds from your description that you have a lot of very small scratches to create the 'halo' effect.

Have you checked to see, when it doesn't start, is the motor hydrolocked? Had this happen on mine and it wound up the carbs were leaking fuel into the pistons. Pull the spark plugs and try to start, if engine spins fine then either stuff flew out the plug holes or it didn't.

Could be a vacuum leak?

Mine had a paint mark

Pic may help?

SNIP
I also added some bulbs in a kit behind top trunk corner reflectors, but hardly noticeable.

Did you remove the silver paint from the inside? I've been told mine are I catching!

I'd start by checking all connectors in the neck area, based on the click click and the use of turning. Connector may be loose or broken, start by pulling in opposite directions, if it doesn't come apart, look for a locking tab. Once apart look for marks of solid contact on the male and female parts...

"Unknown relay", could go to the lights mounted to the engine guards. I think once you get a meter you may make more progress. Good luck and welcome!

I guess I need to stop throwing those away

If you're leaving it on the side stand, that will make it smoke more, when it's for extended periods of time.

You might want to plan on all the gaskets/seals. When mine started leaking, removed the rack and disassembled the carbs, almost all the rubber gaskets/seals were cracked or broken, I'm guessing either age or ethanol got them. I only had a leak on the left side between the carbs.

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.
