Final thought. Verifying the steering bearing preload by riding. If the preload is too little (loose), going 30 to 40 mph in 3rd gear, loosen your g...

Hello Rana. I’m in Texas, but like 3 states away in the Rio Grande Valley. It is frustrating that you can not search the ABC Member Directory by State...

Oy, … I am confused by this discussion. My bike is a ‘78, but here the ‘88 looks very similar. There are 2 nuts at the top of the steering tube. One i...

Yes, Snowbum … it sometimes takes hours. He has compiled a vast amount of information. Just takes some patience looking for the information you need ...

My bike is a 78 R100(RS). I checked my total driveline lash, like you did in your initial post. I measure 1.5” in 1st gear, and 3.25” in 5th. My last...
