    Aluminum brazing

    In light of my recent thermostat and radiator woes, I found this stuff online https://muggyweld.com/alloy-5/super-alloy-5-starter-kit-3-32 Has anyone had any experience with this? The video of the application looks fantastic but looks can be deceiving. $60 is a whole lot better than $350 for a...

Anyways, I buy a set and they literally show...

    TBS - high idle

    Now that the bike is running I thought I would do a TBS. As I was doing it, the idle kept creeping up (over 1500). I had to shut cyl 1&2 and make the adjustment to 3&4 to balance in order to keep the idle down to 1200. but that's the lowest I could get it. I checked for leaks....etc......any...

    Tapered bearing

    I installed a tapered bearing set two years ago. This winter, I stripped the bike down (literally) to the bare frame to take care of maintenance (lubrication, CCT, valve shims, shock replaced, new fluids everywhere).......but I digress. I have re-installed the triple clamps and torqued the...

    sticky front brake

    I've been experiencing a sticky front brake over the last few weeks. I thought it was just the lever so I greased it and made sure the bolt was not over tight......yet no change.
