Re: R100RT Front suspension question

Well I went to the local dealership today, and brought the parts with me. After saying it was probably an anti-Dive set up we went through a couple rings and came up with the new bumpstop. 5 bucks later and the front ends together. thanks for the help

Re: R100RT Front suspension question

Re: R100RT Front suspension question

Not really an O-Ring, like a bushing. Slid up the fork perfectly, maybe a 1/4" thick. I have a lousy picture of itImage

R100RT Front suspension question

Hi, My father asked me to replace his fork seals on his 81' R100 RT. After dropping the sliders off the forks, a black rubber like ring came out of the left slider. There wasn't one at all in the right slider. What are these called? I assume its a bump stop for the spring that resides in the slider....

Re: New Guy with a Project bike.

Ok, Update time! Set the points using the test light, got them to open at the S mark, still won't fire. With the ignition on and cranking the bike over, I have pretty good suction on the exhaust pipes, like, will leave a ring on my hand.

Re: New Guy with a Project bike.

Haven't got the points yet. Was selling parts out of the barn while waiting and poked at the bike a bit. Checked the valves, They are correct according to what you said, one side would have both pushrods spinable while the other side would have the exhaust valve under pressure. Spin the motor over 3...

Re: Tool porn

The kit I got with my R90/6 has the red handled screwdriver in it aswell, and I've had one floating around my house for god knows how long. I'm going to assume it came from a kit from one of my father's airheads.
