Bike is a 1988 R100RS with 100,000+ miles. The problem I had (and posted on here about a few years ago) was that when hot it became impossible to get neutral. To cut a long story short, as I had overhauled the gearbox I thought I had made a gearbox reassembly error. This blinded me to other causes. ...

Thanks for confirming, it's an odd sort of material like a ceramic.

Drilling is not easy at that point so I will try to find a replacement here in the UK or Europe.

On my Mono 1988 R100RS I have the kind of rear carrier specifically designed for a top box, it connects down to the pannier frames. It seems one time I over-tightened the top box because the carrier part is cracked all the way through. My question is to those of you that know about metallurgy, which...

I recently had to replace my driveshaft (97K miles and the UJ had become notchy). On reassemlby I used Hylomar Blue sparingly and so far not a trace of oil.

High five! The noise it made when if first moved was a kind of metalic groan...

I've just bought a San Jose replacement yolk (triple-clamp thingie) to fit there in the next few weeks.

It's off.

I got a breaker bar long enough to brace against the frame, and a dirty great long spanner.

When it moved, it was a nice feeling.

Well the nut moved with some heat... The single-shock bikes have a different fork. The big top nut secures onto a gold inner thread, which is a part that pushes up through the tube. This is all a long way of saying that the inner thread is spinning when I try to remove it. Clearly I am supposed to u...

Thanks guys.

I'll try heat and a soft mallet.

Does it matter where the heat is applied to? Eg, Am I heating the nut, or tube, or both?

Hi all So, I have fork alignment issues. Not massive, but they are there all the same. The big nut that secures the top of the fork tube to the flimsy yoke is seized on one side. At least, I could not get it to budge. I'm loathed to take a dremmel to it and cut it off, but I am going to replace the ...

Morning all The Christmas break saw me with a day spent in the garage (max temp all day in there 2 deg C :-( ). I've adjusted the clutch both using the cable at the bars and locknut at the gearbox. To be honest, I don't think it was wrong but you never know. Right now it's adjusted correctly so all ...
