This was the best mod yet! Finally started my bike without a jump start after wintering for a few months! Thanks for the heads up!

I thought so. I'm back at work soon and won't have more than a day or two to work on it at a time, so I may leave it, monitor the oil level when I do ride, ride closer to home, and wait for the winter "fix it" season. The bike could use some upgrades, and a valve adjustment. I do love a...

Hey guys, is there an "easiest" way to get to shifter shaft seal to replace it? Or a quick fix that will get me through the season? I just got all the bugs worked out of my carbs and went out for a satisfying asphalt rip. Upon my return home I saw a drop fall from my shifter shaft. I took...

WOW!! When my tire gets low I pop the front up without even trying. I explained that to the cop that pulled me over last year and luckily he let me off with a warning.
