Well yesterday was fun. I was going down south I75 when my engine locked up, kicked the bike back and forth and I am not sure if it spewed oil or not, but it went down and we both skid around 200-300 feet with the bike staying in the fast lane and me ending up against the media wall. I rolled a...

All stock down to the original spark plugs..... and then I smoked the clutches lol.... I am sure there is a 11.4x in it easily. If I strap the front maybe even an 11.30. I bet if I take off those heavy stock mufflers, and get the bog and pop out of the carbs it would be another 11.00...

Hi everyone, I'm a new member out of necessity! I need to pick the collective brains of the forum. With no previous issues of any type I started up my '88 Max and while letting it warm up noticed a bit of smoke from the front left, oil dripping from the left front motor mount onto the pipe. I...
