    85 Front Wheel vs Later Style

    Can't seem to find an answer to this, but is there any functional difference in the factory front wheels? I like the way the 85's look, but I wouldn't want one if it is heavier or weaker.

    My front left turn signals won't work on my '96 (one mounted on fork, one in the mirror). I just got this bike and I'm not familiar with the max's wiring; where should I start in diagnosing this? Everything looks hooked up too.

    Front cylinder leaking oil

    I have noticed every time I go for a ride, even short hops of 10 miles or less, I have oil blowing on left side on top of stator case cover. It,s coming from looks like lower cylinder or base gasket. I am assuming this means that I must pull engine and do top end? Shops around here will no...

    Broken screw in my front brake reservoir

    So I'm a jackass, and I make a lot of mistakes. Luckily I'm learning a lot along the way. A screw for my front brake reservoir was stripped, so I decided to drill a pilot hole and use my bolt extractor bit to get it out. Well, the head of the screw ripped off, and I now have an unclear amount...
