    Yes, you need a deep well thin walled 18mm socket to do the plugs, and a universal joint and a 6" extension as well to make the job easy. I just bought an 18mm cheap plug socket as well as the u joint and extension from Auto Zone to carry in the scoot and it works well. It was their cheaper "Great Neck" line. I usually use my deep well 6 point Craftsman socket but the Great Neck is an actual spark plug socket with the rubber insert. Use the NGK plugs and you will be OK. Not to say some other brand wil work, but stay away from the multi electrode plugs asa on motorcycles they have been known to blow holes in the piston head. You can get the NGK's from Auto Zone or most auto supply places.

    Do that and I pretty much guarantee the US Martials will have a special greeting room waiting for you when you land, which will be the closest airport. I'm sure youy won't like the nice man that gives you a very thorough body search...

    If you are talking in Clarence, I ofered $200 for what's left. I want the front fender, the Class Air pump assembly, and the TCI module. If I buy the whole bike we need tro find a pickup truck or trailer to get it home. I would like the engine bvut I know there would be major problems with seals, the carbs, etc...

    You may have a "hard spot" on your rotor. This is different than runout. Hard spots are usually caused by the rotor being in the same place for extended periods in the weather (Not being used for months and months) and as the surface rust that is on the rotor everywhere BUT where the calipers are gets eroded off, the clean spot gives extra "Grab", or possibly less grab, with every revolution. Also impurities in the metal can cause these hard spots to occur. This is usually fixed with resurfacing the rotor but in the case of motorcycle rotors, they should not be turned down. They can be lightly resurfaced though, but not really recommended.

    ^^^ Yup!! replaced mine when I rebuilt my master along with part 3. Cheap enough parts...

    Well, the resovior is just that, a resovior, so if you can make it physically fit then you should be in good shape. If you want, you can strip the one off of the '85 as I will have a spare when I convert my braking system to the nwer 4 piston calipers this fall/winter. Your cost will be the gas to get your butt out here to get it. We won't be home Sunday. Now I know why I haven't seen you this week...

    Wish I could, it's close enough, but I still have a couple of weeks to go before I can ride...

    Wow! Sorry to hear that but as you said, glad he is only banged up and not in a casket. Another testimony to the effectiveness of protective gear. You never know when you are going down. Nobody goes out riding saying "I'm planning on going down today." I'll be glad to pray for his quick recovery. Hope everything works out with the bankers...

    Yeah!! Aren't there some kind of labor laws protecting the poor algae from being forced to work 24/7 without any compensation?? They are a living thing, after all...

    Hmmmm, turn New Mexico into a giant refinery for the US... Very interesting research, Don!

    OK then! You want to bleed the front first, which is more downstream from the resovior. You wil use up a huge amount of fluid to effectively acomplish this. Also, on the '83 - '85 the anti dive uses brake fluid from the front brakes. Make sure you don't have a leak in the anti dive unit...

    Atlantadragonslayer has one. I was thinking of buying it from him but there wasn't enough stuff he had that I wanted so I don't want just that with the cost of shipping, so PM him...
  20. bongobobny
    Uhhh, check the proportioning valve and bleed the front as well?? You do know it is a linked system, right?
