Blocked breather but that said I would have thought there is sufficient space around the filler to let the air escape.

As Mr Medic says you shouldn't need much force to undo them. Are you sure you had the impact wrench set to undo and not tighten? If the hex is completely goosed then a pair of stillsons (pipe wrench) may be the best option? Then see if anyone has spare caps.

They are one piece...note the advice ''light tap" which should all that is needed to get it to go into the taper. I've also found that angling the front of the woodruff key slightly downwards helps.

How did you check the oil level - forks compressed? Are you saying that as you sit on the bike there is no suspension movement Unlikely. Unless you have done something radical to the front yours will have the same weight distribution as any other Max How much do you weigh with riding gear on...

For the damping not to work the suspension would need to be locked up or the oil has turned to grease! I wouldn't rely on other peoples settings as their preferences may be different to yours. Race tech suggests a static sag between 25 - 35mm. Start by measuring the current sag and adjust the...

Whilst I am happy to be corrected, I don't recall the scoops being anodised and I don't ever recall seeing lacquered anodised parts. There were several iterations of the scoops from polished and lacquered, black and polished upper and black lower. Whilst stripping lacquer is relatively...

Not sure of the point you are making - isn't that what I said in my post?

You would need to strip the lacquer first and get back to bare metal. If it was mine I'd then get a paint shop to re-finish with a 2K lacquer which will be very durable. With you doing all of the prep work and the paint shop adding it to a clear coating job (hopefully) it shouldn't cost an arm...

Not sure which one you are referring to, the only one I can think of is the one for checking charging. Jeff, when you say 'nothing' I assume you mean the starter doesn't turn? It's time to get the multi-meter out. Can we assume you have c. 12.7 volts at the battery? Given that you have head...

As far as I can recall they follow the curve and they are handed.

They certainly used to, don't know if they still do - I have them on mine and were a strait swap. To comment on your post #5, as they are lighter and have better tyres on then yes...BUT Unill you have better control of wheel movement the benefit will probably be minimal.

My two penneth: Get decent springs in the front forks (my preference would be Racetech as you can match the spring rate to you) and some emulators. Get some decent rear shocks - Coupled with #1 you will now have suspension that can control wheel movement. Get some lighter wheels - e.g. Dymags...

That's the cover which goes over the tool kit space under the passenger seat pad (#15).

A bearing puller would be better.

The small relay is most likely the side stand relay. Thanks for the clarification, the sound on the clip sounded like it was. It is most probably the side stand relay which has four wires, blue/ yellow, black/ white, black and red/ white. I suspect that the relay is normally closed ( as is the...

You do have the correct wrench....it's called a screwdriver through the canister.....:eek:

Assuming there isn't a tab lurking at the bottom of the hex then try penetrating oil left overnight followed by a good fitting socket on a swing bar.

On an '85 the turn signal relay is combined with the starter circuit cut off relay and was changed to separate units post '89. Bit confused as you say 'When i turn my key to ignite (you mean start?), all the lights are on, but when i hit the start button, nothing happens. Completely dead.' but...

Aren't yours marked as indicated in the Service Manual?

No, the fuel pump relay will cut the feed to the pump unless there is power from the ignition control unit. It does not sense pressurein the system.
