Have you checked the steering stem bearings?

I had some loose ones on my old 900 and it caused all sorts of strange things to happen...

Nope . . .the screw with the holes is as tight as hell though !!!


Evening btw . . .

The screw with the holes isn't related. Just holds the triple on.

OK, read the whole article, one thing though, I live on a very steep hill and need to come to a complete stop . . .

This characteristic is useful when a system is already bedded-in with one pad friction and another is to be used going forward, like when changing between pad types for the street and track (and then after a track event, back again). The procedure under this case is different, where the new friction is installed and the vehicle is first driven for 5 to 20 miles (8 to 33 Km) with light use, keeping the pad friction and rotor cold. This promotes the abrasive friction mechanism cleaning the rotor surface of the previous pad material before performing either one or two bed-in cycles as prescribed below. One set of stops as outlined, if the pads being installed are used, two if the pads are actually new



And rear will not stop bike 100% . . .

Re did the rolling bedding in process .  .  . still getting front end shaking while braking and while accelerating ! ! !don't have $$$ to get new rotors or pads at this time

You may need to take the rotors off and completely clean the old material before re-bedding.

OH, ok . . .

Hit the fridge for 2 beers, then sand the rotors and you might as well scuff up the pads while you're at it.

i'm waiting for mike to finish up his project in the garage
he made this awesome ladder and lumber hanging system
it hangs from the ceiling, made out of metal
it looks like an erector set

How's it look?

[ducpainter]

How's it look?

I think it will live.

Basically it had no petcock and didn't seize from rust or a lean mixture, but from evaporated fuel/oil mix.

It looks like the cases were full to the rings.

It's pretty much all freed up now.

I'll check clearance for the piston and if all is close I'll put it back together and see if it will run...

and go from there.

I had fun playing with the little bike today.

I love to putter...
