My right boot is all in oil! - Either the engine is spilling oil or much more probably the clutch slave cylinder is kaputt!

I came across several problems, so I offer my solution. If it doesn't work for you - don't rape it!!! Find another way! 1. After servicing the carburettors I can't roll the throttle to the end Solution: In my case I have tightened the "screwy thingy" that holds the air filters (sport filters on my bike, not a filter box) at angle. The screwy thingy must NOT interfere with the throttle gadget!!! 2. Sport air filters falling Solution: In my case I have overtightened them! You must screw just enough so that they don't fall. Overscrewing results in immediately or later, caused by vibrations, falling of the filters. 3. Screwing the gas-tank Solution: It mustn't be screwed to the end. Just put your index finger (or other if it can fit) under the tank-screws. When you feel the bolts, holding the tank to the frame, aligne with the frame stop screwing! If you overscrew you'll squeeze the rubber vibrations isolators and the bolts thread will be destroyed. Then it takes half a day to remove the destroyed bolts. 4. Gas gauge overturned and don't want to come back Solution: Fill the tank to the top. Rev the engine to the end. 5. Isolating the anti-dive system Solution: Remove all the brake liquid. Remove the banjo-bolts from the calipers and the anti-dive. Mount the single banjo-bolts (from the anti-dive) to the calipers. Fill the anti-dive holes with 10mm 1.25 pitch bolts. N.B. I did it because my anti-dive was leaking. I don't advise to isolate or to not isolate the anti-dive system! The choice is yours! 6. Engine stops when switching from Neutral to First gear Solution: Get the bike on center-stand. Put down your side-stand. There is a switch, that is pushed by the side-stand. Put up the side-stand. If the switch doesn't come out pull it by hand. Apply WD-40, then push and pull it several times. Apply chain-spray or other lubricant then push and pull it several times.

Hell Yeah! The Big Bad Scary Real Biker is right!!! The mighty power of shining chrome, the true ride for the real immortal warriors, the arm-breaking acceleration and the Sound of Thunder!!! It's all about Harley - The Mighty Power of the One and Only True Greatest Motorcycle! I'm not that good in english, but isn't mustard the yellowish thing that you put on your hot-dog to make it more tasty?

Hi! I just registered to the Yamaha Club. Last june I bought my first bike - 1985 Yamaha FJ 1100. I have already done some 5000 kilometers (3000 miles) and now I need to change the tyres. The sizes are 120/80 - 16 and 150/80 - 16. I would like to get some advice from more experienced FJ riders. I'll buy either Pirelli Sport Demon or Conti Sportclassic. Which one of these models is better? I mean with better leaning angle and better grip. The durability is a little less important for me. The bike shall be ridden on not that perfect roads - potholes and sometimes slippery tarmac. Thank you in advance!
