    Motorcycle jack on 98 with center stand?

    I have a frame lift adapter I bought/used on my 2002 Royal Star Venture.... I'll have to dig that thing out as well as the hockey pucks (2 with some material cut off) I used for my 1998 RSTC.... maybe those will be helpful. Doing tires, fork service, steering head bearing greasing, and drives...

    Motorcycle jack on 98 with center stand?

    Had my 98 up on the center stand and rear wheel off ground nicely. Front wheel however was not totally off the ground (lightly touching but I could turn wheel fully left to right). I'm going to be doing steering head bearings and fork oil/seals and new front tire soon. Can I use a traditional...

    Front end wobbly

    I may just stick with the 150 shinko... It's a good sticky tire don't think 20mm more is gonna make a difference on the street.. Question on front Springs. I'm doing forkbseals/dust seals and fresh 15w fluid. I am happy with how the bike handles (my other bikes are big heavy vtwin cruisers). I...

    Front end wobbly

    When I look at my 150 Kwnda in the rear it seems close to touching the drives haft... A larger 170 fits fine??? I'm also going with Shinko Tour masters I think

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I saw the video... Pretty much like any other yanaha fork not too bad. I think I'm keeping stock springs and I ordered 15w Lucas synthetic fork oil (have used this in 10w on Road Stars and Royal Star's with good success). Have one Road Star with progressive springs and it's nice and another Road...

    Got my first Gen 1

    Hog fiddles.... 1985 was first year and they were rated at 145 hp at the engine and European version was 95hp I believe. Engine horsepower (bhp) is much different than rear wheel horsepower. On a Gen 1 Vmax a bone stock fresh 145 engine hp will dyno about 110 to the tire (loss from moving...

    Got my first Gen 1

    It brakes very well... Has very linear feel. I will inspect brake pads to see what they are. I like EBC HH for all my heavy cruisers and Prestone DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid. I also have SS brake lines and that helps firmness.
