Hi Everyone. I have something going on in my #2 cylinder. one time I will have .012 on the exhaust valve and another time I will have .009. So I am going ot take the head off.. but I was wondering if anyone has ever taken the head off on the bike?

okay so i shouldn't probably even be asking but hey, what the hell.. anyways, so part numbers 25 and 10 in the following picture. basically the clutch and stator cover inserts. can they be removed without taking the whole case covers off? it looks to me the stator one could be with just two...

I was just wanting a for sure answer that does the motor have to be removed before removing the heads. I was thinking probably so but if not that would be cool. the reason why i ask is b/c I am going to be porting and polishing my heads this winter so i will have some time. I am used to...

Hello After the better part of a day I finally got the upper bearing races removed. The lower races, however, look even more stubborn. There is no lip at all to drive it out with a long screwdriver from above. One suggestion was to weld a bead directly onto it and use that to drive it out...

Ok I know this has been asked before, but it is still unclear to me: How do I remove the air nozzle assembly on top of the forks? Is it secured to the forks at all? Is it supposed to just slide up off the forks (with some persuasion). If they don't want to move, how can I best persuade them?

Removed my stock exhaust today in prep for my fancy new HMF's. Couple of questions: I pulled these off the rear headers: I assume the small rings are the exhaust gaskets and the larger rings are used to secure the pipes into the engine. Is that right? I did not pull anything like this off...

My starter clutch is pooched, waiting for parts... In the mean time I removed the stator cover and have baked on gasket material on the engine and the cover. Very tough to remove carefully with a sharp blade...do not want to damage mating surfaces Has anyone tried a gasket remover on these...

So...this weekend I started on the enormous task (for me, at least) of removing the engine and replacing the transmission gears. I am also changing over the motor mounts to solid ones while I'm at it. Attached are pics of what the bike looks like with no motor...as I forgot to take step-by-step...

I'm sure this is a question that has been asked before, but I'll ask it again. I have a 1985 model and want to replace the dampers in the rear wheel. They are listed as spareable parts as are the pins that fasten the clutch hub, or drive hub if you prefer, to the wheel. Therefore, there must be...

Hi all: I'm about to have in my possession a good heat gun (specifically, a Master Appliance HG501A Master Heat Gun that TURBOVMAX recommended.) Any instructions from y'all regarding the removal of my bottom steering head bearing race with this tool? Thanks very much! Elimax

I removed the front rubber heat deflector from my bike so that I could mount flexible LED light strips along the frame rails. The front piece goes between the radiator and the front cylinders/faux tank. I also removed the rear plastic one that snaps onto the valve cover bolts. My question is if...

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to remove the rear seat and sissy bar on my '02 max. I am going to get the sissy bar chromed. Any tips on how to do this? Thanks, Rob

Ok, I have looked at some threads about seats, and have found all kind of information, except for the very basic question of : HOW DO I GET THE DAMN SEAT OFF?

What's the LEAST amount of stuff I have to remove to get it out. It looks pretty tight behind all the cooling hoses. LEAST being key, as I'm lazy and tired of working on the bike!!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!! I can't get these Muthers off!!!! I have removed all clamp bolts and pryed the !@*#! out of the flanges and the SOBs won't budge. They move up and down just fine, but I can't get them to move back on the head pipes at ALL! Helpful hints, anyone?
