I'm hoping it's just tight from sitting. I'll know for sure when it gets warm out. (also probably when the leaks will start)

I haven't touched a thing on the transmission besides changing the trans fluid. I'll check the clutch adjustment. thanks

Hello, If you've seen my other threads, I have a '74 R60/6 with just about 906 miles now. It was sitting for about 20 years before I started working on it. I'm not sure if this is normal but when I go to put it into first gear, I have to clutch in, and then sometimes roll the bike forward to get it ...

I ended up just going with an estimated value of $10,000. It's going to need a rebuild in the near future due to old seals. But I'll run it like Harley until it gets bad. Then I'll be future-proofing this thing. What seals are leaking? Most common and visible without teardown are the pushrod seals....

I use 93 octane with 10% ethanol. Seafoam is a cleaner and stabilizer. I've had good luck with it. My stuff sits a lot so fuel has a tendency to go bad. The seafoam seems to keep things running clean in the carbs. A good example is this John deere gator I have. It was sitting for a bit and I started...

This weekend I'll drain the tank, check the fuel taps and screen, and then report back. On the topic of fuel, does anyone use any additives? My go-to has always been sta-bil and seafoam. I saw Amsoil offered a motorcycle octane boost and was considering giving it a try.

Hello, I need to give an estimated value to my insurance company but I have no clue where to get an accurate value. It's a 1974 R60/6 with 902 miles on it. I still have the original tool kit, original factory tires (no longer on the bike), and the original owner's manual. The paint is in great shape...
