Nice review. You mentioned a wandering problem. Usually those are caused by odd wear in one or more tires, or by a wheel bearing that's on its way out. I just did the front bearings on my '93 750, one of them was absolutely -gone-, maybe six or seven balls left and no cage in sight. That bike

Those Chinese solenoids off eBay my be sold to fit your application. But you have to check the wiring with a multimeter. The one I got for my Yamaha was wired wrong internally so I had to move leads around in the wiring harness plug. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are

I've been reading a bit about tram lining and that's what it feels like. Almost like going over a grated bridge or a road that's been torn up, where he tires follow the grooves in the road. My rear wheel was off last week while I was bricking about frame straightness and nothing seemed off when

I've bought plenty of Emgo stuff and some of it like turn signals or oem style mirrors look as quality as the stock parts. It sounds to me your old shock were not dampening hence the bouncing. Seriously, investigate those wheel bearings. A bike should never wander, do you have both wheel spacers?

You should have three spacers in the rear. One between the brake drum and the swingarm, one between bearings, and one between the sprocket carrier bearing and the swingarm. On the front slack is taken up on the brake side by the speedometer gear housing, and on the curbside by a spacer, with one

Yeah, it does it both while running and on battery, same output. I've had the battery charging for a while now, and it's still not to 80%. Been charging for about 3 hours now. I hope it's as simple as that. On Sunday, August 16, 2015 at 4:07:06 PM UTC-5, kiwinPA wrote: Do you have the engine
