Chicken Coop 87' royale on the road!

[davepa]

Thanks to all who helped me work through the issues and bring the bike back to life. GeorgeS, Squidly, and Condor, and others thanks for taking the time to explain each step when I had yet another question.

 

Now if I can locate someone willing to give the Royale a once over to see what else should be done. The engine seems to get a little loud once it is a operating temperature. A little less noticable when the clutch is pulled in. Not a knock like a bearing but more of a possible valve train issue.

 

I live in South Central Pennsylvania, Bedford County. so if anyone lives in nearby PA., Western Maryland, or West Virginia and would be interested in taking a look, please give me a yell!

 

Regards Dave

That sounds as to be the Bearing inside the Clutch Pressure Plate. Nothing major, one Hours Job for replacing that Bearing.

Skid-in coming up. Not that far to ride and there will be a few there that know a little about these things.

Thanks...Hey Yammer Dan, Just wanting to make sure my running the bike would not cause any damage or further damage. It is oiling according to slight bit of oil wash in the sight glass when accerated. There is not a heavy flow, but I don't know how much should be present.

 

How far is the Skid-In? What part of West Virginia, I have a cottage in Springfield W Va. Mineral County. Maybe I can ride from there, kill two birds with one stone.
