Re: Discontinued Cycleworks Tool/Wristpin bushing

I looked on ebay & there are different tools for bushings. Even one for a Harley, same thing only different ($47). Maybe why they dont make it anymore. So many alternatives for sure a small problem. :o :o

Re: Discontinued Cycleworks Tool/Wristpin bushing

I bought a 12 ton Harbor Freight press to due these little jobs. But can also be used for much more. Can you take to a machine shop? Or is all still part of the engine?

Re: R60/2 Small end bushing replacement

Sorry I dont have a R60/2 but a R69. So, small end bushing. Is that in the engine....trans.. wheel? There are a lot of bushings of kinds, on these bikes. Maybe just give us a clue. :shock:

Re: Fuel Filter or no fuel filter

I have 6 motorcycles 1969 to 2018. They all have some kind of fuel filter. E10 (ethanol gas) is the worst & filters wont keep it "all" out. And ethanol collects water within 24 hrs? So I put some fuel additive in them cause I cant ride them all at same time, for some reason. :roll: Of ...

Re: Squeaky front brake

Those look like semi-metallic shoes. Lots of metal in material. Could make them nosier. Check the drums are they under cut to much? Drums to thin can cause noise too.

Re: Squeaky front brake

Possible but I do dont think so. Glazed drums inside or glazed shoes. Take some heavy sand (280?) paper
rough them up good. If the shoes dont have a taper at the end can also cause the shoes to make noise.

Everyone complained about blowing head gasket on the aluminum head. Book said to loosen and retorque head ev...

Re: Fitting a side car to K1100LT - full fairing

I had a 93 K1100LT With ABS. ABS didnt work when I bought & didnt work when I sold it. It always stopped even with tape over the dash light. Great bike, kept mine for 4-5 yrs. Till I got a 2003 K1200 GT.
