    Rebuilding motorcycle after timing chain skip 62K Km

    When I rebuilt the Roadster with Lush upgrade a friend who works on cars did the sandpaper on granite you described and I've seen it in other videos. Worked just fine for me. If you're asking if the local dressing would be OK, I honestly can't say. My opinion would lean toward the first method...

    Luggage and weight

    I have the R and it's the same/same. I tour on it fairly often and fill the factory panniers no doubt beyond the limits (what is it 8 lbs?). The Roadster took on gear more easily, but I find that I can do pretty well with the newer bike. As to the factory panniers they are not ideal, but I like...

    AMSOIL!!!

    OK, then.... I use a proprietary blend of used fryer oil (from the tank behind KFC) and used car motor oil from the recycle center. 50/50 ratio. Shifts are buttery smooth and finger lick'n good!

    Rocket 3 wobble after new Metzeler tires — previous set was perfect

    Sounds like the front tire is bad or not balanced, but if they say so... I'd wonder about a wheel bearing next

    Thinking about exhaust options

    Thank you, but I really don't deserve that description- but thanks. Good advice about the exhaust. I'll probably leave it as is, get a shop to mod it, or save my pennies for one of Paul's creations (first choice). Does anyone else think that the baffle box sits too close to the rear tire? If a...

    Thinking about exhaust options

    That I'm even asking probably means the answer is a hard NO. I have no welding experience, but was just thinking of getting a cheap 110 MIG welder off Amazon to weld a nut onto the bracket for one of my heat shields. I don't have a bandsaw, but do have a cutoff wheel.... Wondering if I could...

    What Your Clutch Fluid looks like at 20K - Also, Issues Restoring Pressure and Fixes

    I bled the clutch when I did the valve adjustment not long ago. Here's what the fluid looks like just 8,000 miles later.... I wonder if these clutch and brake lines are just deteriorating.
