  1. I think it's best to quit riding when the time comes, not to try and stretch it out. That way you can enjoy wonderful memories and not be thinking as to why you didn't quit one ride sooner.
  2. Careful that you put the oil seal in the right way, solid side out.
  3. I would order seal #93109-08061-00 and replace it as well to make sure. Then I would drain the oil out of the engine, flush it with some kerosene, let it drip out well, add new oil, run it until it get warm, then do another oil change. Also change the oil filter at the first change.
  4. Yep, you got it right. A bit of oil will come out, that's normal, its' engine oil. Now if you look just to the left of that cover (middle gear cover) you will see what you need to remove. It sits right against the engine and has a 'brake' hose atteched to the front of it, with 2 allen bolts , top and bottom, holding it in place. First loosen and move the wires out of the way as best you can, and remove the hose (12mm socket), then remove the two bolts making very sure your wrench is fully seated before application of power. I like to use a 3/8 impact making sure first that it's set to remove, not to tighten. Once the bolts are removed and you hold your tongue just right the slave will drop out of the bottom. If it wants to resist that direction it's most likely that there is a wire set in the way at the stator case.
  5. Snug them up a wee bit and see what happens.
  6. Can you still be cross-eyed?
  7. Give those steering head bearings a little bit of tightening. You might not feel any looseness in them, but that doesn't mean they are tight enough. If you get them too tight the bike will want to go it's own way, even at slow speeds. Also make sure they are properly greased.
  8. Won't be hard to make a difference with that,,, now to get to look real prudy will take a little effort.
  9. Don't see an 88 in the pictures. GET TO WORK!
  10. I would change the oil to something designed for diesels. You might have got some friction modifiers into the crankcase and that would be bad for a wet clutch. Not sure about the Harley springs, but would suggest to go the Barnett route.
  11. Super! Maybe you could give us the particulars on the setup and where you found it all.
  12. Careful with additives,,, they can make the clutch slip and they are hard to 'wash' out.
  13. We could come over, fix the scoot and test drive it for you, and check your fridge and freezer in the process.
  14. Neutral is usually hard to find, but easier when it's running and using your foot, but still can be tricky.
  15. Washer is in place, clutch doesn't seem to bind yet, haven't got that far. Took the slave out as well due to investigation and found the seal to be weak, so now need a seal there. Tranny should shift without the clutch and does so quite nicely, until I snug up the nut on the transmission shaft, then shifting becomes an issue. Clutch plates not yet installed.
  16. Top drawer is still too small. NICE!
  17. That thought has crossed our minds, but it shifts not bad when the clutch nut is totally loose. So in my thoughts is that any tension on the transmission shaft changes things. Why?
  18. It's an 84, with 160,000km on the clock. It's Mark's bike and he asked me to go over it and fix anything that needed fixing. I almost got it back to road worthy/safe condition, took it out for a test ride and found that shifting up wasn't bad, not great, but did work, but downshifting was and real issue. 2nd had been done some km ago and Mark says it hasn't shifted right since then, but he lived with it. Linkages were an issue but I fixed that and installation is on the marks. The knuckle behind the stator cover is in the up position, so we ripped into the clutch. Without the clutch nut installed it will shift by hand when turning the back wheel, but if we finger tighten the nut, shifting is hard to do if at all. I have an idea what maybe the issue, but I don't want to expose such an idea and cloud out the REAL thoughts coming from those who know. So help us out here, get those brain juices running and offer your input. The winner gets to bring coffee on the next visit.
  19. I think we had a good time, appreciated by all.
  20. It will try to find it's own way on the road, so do some test running first.
  21. Check out the TCI connectors under the battery box.
  22. Spray a can full of carb cleaner into about 1/4 tank of fuel, let it run until it's warm. Do this 4 times and see if it make an improvement. Use the spray stuff, I find it works much better than the pour in stuff.
