I think my diode board is bad so I did a video of the multimeter readings.
Please let me know if the link cannot be opened and I’ll try a different format.

The mufflers are the originals that came on the bike. I’ve concluded that, even though it is not perceptible to the eye, at some point in the bike’s life the left header may have been slightly tweaked or bent. By pushing the attached muffler with slight pressure and holding it in place with a slidin...

Should the race be replaced or is some slight pitting something that will not cause major concerns. I cannot find any infor...

I am replacing the rear main seal. When I removed old seal I noticed that the guide ring has a couple of places that it looks like there has been some metal chipped away. There were no metal fragments in evidence and no sign of what may have caused the damage. Also it does not appear that there is a...
