Hey folks,
Long time, my 700S is no mas, sad to say. And, I'm moving
cross-country. Which brings me to today's topic.
I've got a fairing for the 700S painted in RWB in OK shape. I.e. the
correct number of pieces ,though it should be repainted and/or bondo'd.
Never installed it myself, may b
Yeah, you don't. I found a nice universal oil filter wrench at sears

Thinking about replacing my coils with Dyna's - mostly to be sure

Anyone with any experience with them? I'd be sticking with the

know what th
I'm not going to say this is the case for the head gasket - because
that should have it's own spec, but at least my manual specifies
torque for bolts of a certain size. I.e. 8mm bolts get such and such
torque, 12mm, so on.
I'd see if yours has that list and use it as a fall-back.

What's weird (to me at least) about the web bike world helmet shapes
categorization is that it's vertical - i.e. your head would look like
that viewed head on.
While I'm sure that does affect fit, I've found it's the horizontal

different kind of mount for that - maybe that home-built one would
work?

I don't know if it's related, but I've been having an issue where the
bike has a hard time downshifting to first, i.e. for stops. Doesn't
want to go, just stays in neutral - I can usually get it to go if I
let go of the clutch and rev the engine slightly. Does seem to happen
more often after riding
Seems like I'm the only one who loves #4!
Either way - where were you planning on getting these printed? Might
make sense to work with one of the digital ink printing houses online
to set up a shop, cafe-press style, with good quality but whichever
color combo you can think of, in QTY 1+

about #5 - on any bike with rear suspension, you need more chain slack
than you would think (like say on a bicycle). This is because the
effective chainstay length changes as you compress the shocks. If you
got it fairly tight without any weight on the seat, it's probably too
tight when you are sit
Agreed - there's lots of little passageways and it's hard to get them
fully clean with out a soak or something. I had a salvage shop around
here disassemble and ultrasonically clean my 700S carburetors when I
got the bike for like $40. Ran beautifully afterward.
