Well maybe someone could set up a betting ring and the guy closest to the dollars actually spent in the first two years, wins a prize. My guess is that you will spend another $10,000 in the next two years. After that we can draw the prize and then set up a new gamble for the following two years. I h...

You could take the pedal off, apply heat and then redesign the alignment so the pad you press with your foot is positioned further to the right of its current position. It may be that the pedal has previously been bent to the left by a spill, so you may just be taking it back to where it was always ...

I'm about 45 minutes south of Neenah. I can check it out for you as well if need be Thank you for the offer. Lets see what Michael says first and then go from there. Thank you so much for the offer. I guess the weather is starting to warm up for you. I imagine there is some pretty nice rides up aro...

well I have made some enquirers re shipping to Australia and that sounds workable. Anyone in the close proximity of Neenah Wisconsin who could take a look at the bike and let me know any non obvious problems, would be appreciated. I guess at the worst I buy it and hope there are some internals in th...

Hi Guys, I live in Australia and am interested in a bike for sale in Wisconsin. I was wondering if anyone of you live in that state? The reason being I would be very appreciative if someone from the club could go and look at this bike for me and tell me if it as good as it looks on line. It is at a ...

Further update, a week of soaking in penetrating oil didnt get the last bit. So i filed off the wings on the tickler shaft and pulled it apart. I found the top part of the spring was glued togerther with a very hard resin. Pulled spring out cleaned up carb top and tickler. Will get another spring, ...

I have a second R69s engine. I have had it on the shelf for over 20 years and I recently had an opportunity to throw it into a frame and give it a run. I had a set of new barrels and pistons to lob onto the engine - which I did. The engine, if one is deaf, runs beautifully. Starts first kick, pulls ...

The crackling noise may be un-burnt fuel igniting in your exhaust - an air leak between muffler and head pipe may contribute to this. How do your plugs look. Is the bike running rich? Have you checked your main jet size and your needle height. You may be running rich in that mid range because your n...

Yes easy to fix as per previous suggestion. The real issue I believe is what causes the over tightening in the first place. The problem I believe is over-tightening caused by the fact that the holes for most of the bolts go through to the sump. So the oil finds it's way down the threads - so when th...

Thank You Vech for passing on your valuable experience. I actually have three sets of barrels and each has new pistons. Each set has a matched set but different brands. KS has the smallest clearence. - .05mm Nural - .08mm Kloben - .08mm In my running engine that I am currently breaking in the new Nu...
