To be honest, no, I never experienced that problem. I would be hazarding a wild guess here, but does your rear shock ever bottom out heavily? The rear shock weld joints (and subsequent) in that section may have made the metal brittle. Alternatively if the bushes in the swingarm wore unevenly at any point this creates a twist in the swing arm action that will come up through the bars below. The whole bikes frame and rigidity centres arount that section and so is subject to fatigue.
BTW if at all viable use silver solder rather than welding it to plug any weeping to avoid causing the joint becoming more brittle.

Boring Twat Bruce!
Just wait, I am going to post a ride report of the 618 from Lymm to Altrincham and back. That should keep your attention riveted

I'm just here to get banned and brag about it elsewhere, and throw mud a gingers.
You will find yourself banned from the other place and stuck here where ginger can feed you pork.

YH you redneck, your bike is so old and modified it probably doesn't have many of the original parts left.
But the closest to proof of difference I can give you is to look at the online microfische...
here is the carb for starters on a J... you will notice... no after burner

I had been riding bikes for nearly 20 years when I moved to England. I fell foul of the 6 month licence transfer and had to start the whole procedure from scratch. It was not as easy as I thought it would be and dibble said he would have failed me if it were not so obvious that I had biking experience. (something about the look of life looking more like I was looking to see if he could keep up) So well done!
Pete, you should have stuck to the Vespa, you would have had an excuse

My next move is to ban all the wannabes without bikes! Alex......you're first!
Then I'll move on to all the Rednecks who live in Trailers! And then anybody who called my Strom ugly!
Looks like a busy day ahead!
I am between bikes at the mo and yes, the strom is one ugly mofo. However, a purple helmet, ginger hair and ginger GS as an ensamble still defy all sence of decency and proprietry.

One of the main differences is in the carbs. The K model YDIS carb is identifiable in that it has an afterburner unit on the primary stage carb to prevent the motor leaning out on fast throttle shut off at speed and backfiring. Other mods include a revised kickstart gear, (original was Nylon and prone to stripping) etc and improved ignition units / ignition train. To my knowlege they are all interswappable though. Not much in it.

Seeing that was probably enough to start the shakes.
