Had a nice little window of opportunity for a shake down run this afternoon. Almost shook the right turn signal off 😅. I think when I...

Ok, extra ounce of oil in each fork, tach and headlight back on. No time tonight and it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, but...

Good to know. Pressing one down after they were back together, i thought they felt a bit soft. I tried to get the 168cc / 5.7oz listed...

Fork seals and dust boots arrived today so I've got her back on her feet. I was a little surprised that I needed to loosen the upper...

For the second part of my un-crimp, i had a pair of needle nose pliers that i accidentally broke one tip off years ago. It ended up...

Just looked at what you did for your white cushion. Brilliant! I see you also mentioned sharpening the paint key.

After I finished, I realized you had something in there. I wrapped mine with multiple layers of electrical tape to cushion it and was...

Speedo was working fine when I had it out for test ride last week. I don’t think it was stored upside down ever.

I just looked at my last post and I guess the forum decided to re-order them. The numbers are in sequence for when they were taken so...

I picked up on the hose clamp too and got one today before I started. I've got it back together. The last two pics are the re-crimp...

Great tip! Thanks

I left fluid in them and clamped in bench vice. I was able to get them just started with an 8mm allen and a long breaker bar (I cut an...

Forks are disassembled and cleaned 🙌. Just need the new seals to show up in the mail. Removing the old seals involved more swearing...

Today's update. I decided to try to rebuild the tach so I removed it and am now waiting for a little prying tool to undo the crimped...

The observant may notice the fork boots are pulled up. I didn't bother pushing them back down yet since I'm planning to do those next.

Starts with the electric starter (though I think you are right Jim and I should have opened it up and cleaned it while I had it out)...

Thank you. That is a very informative thread. At this point, since I already have it back in, I'm not sure how much I'm going to worry...

Thanks. Mine sounds similar to yours.

Positional vertigo 😳 Eeep. that doesn't sound fun. I decided to just pull the starter to test it as the bikes owner claims it...

I didn't add any oil yet as I wasn't sure if I was going to have to pull starter and I didn't want to waste any if I had to drain it...

Starter turns the motor over when I hooked it up directly. Seems loud and seemed to spin more slowly than I would expect (especially...

I haven't yet. I wish I had thought to do that before I drained the oil, but hindsight is 20/20. I could probably pull the spark plugs...

On to trying to figure out why the electric starter isn't working. I currently have the cable from the solenoid to the starter...

@Jim The reservoir is the same, but the o-ring is different. When I took it apart, I was convinced that it was leaking from the joint...

The groove is plenty clean and I did find that I have some red rubber grease in the garage, but something isn't right. I pressed it...

Help! I don't know what kind of witch craft people have used in the past to get a brake fluid reservoir back onto the bracket, but I'm...

So I snuck out to the garage while the wife was napping, pulled the gas tank off and checked the valve clearances. I clearly need some...

I learned something new tonight. how to "quote" 🙌. Thanks 5twins. I think it must have just been a bit "stuck". I will try again...

Tonight's update. I ordered a K & L master rebuild kit and a caliper rebuild kit (including piston) from Brake master. I touched up...

😅, 5twins, I didn't even notice that. I didn't take that bolt out of the lever. I'd like to think when I was putting it back together...

Got the brake switch disconnected (it was just gunked tight into place) and got the master cylinder disassembled and cleaned up. I'm...

Got it. I had tried to push a small screw driver in that hole, but nothing seemed more likely to move and I didn't want to force it...

had a little time to get out to the garage this evening so I took apart the front caliper. I need to take apart the master cylinder as...
