Will do. You are 180 miles north and west of me.

Thanks! I have asked the shop for an estimate to clean up the tranny. Have found a few on eBay for around $500.

Took the old gal to a bike shop in OKC that works on airheads. Was told an input gear blew apart and spewed forth metal shavings throughout the tranny. I am now looking for a good used tranny. Else the bike goes to the junk yard.

I was able to get the tranny side clutch parts put back on. Have free play at the handlebar clutch handle. No change in the noise - when the clutch is engaged, noise like a Ducati around 3,000 - 3,500 rpm. No rattling when clutch handle is pulled in. No noise when clutch is engaged and engine speed ...

Got no such magical device. Used an allen wrench to pry it out. It looked fine - no flat spots or signs of wear. The races refused to come out. I put the new bearing in just for G.P. and will put the pivot arm, etc. back in place tomorrow after work. Then I will start her up and find out if she make...

It's been busy for me of late. Had some time this evening to get started replacing the thrust/throw-out bearing. Clymer's manual. Have the cable disconnected, the pivot bolt out, the boot loosened up. How on earth does one remove the clutch lever? The bolt on back side of it has very little clearanc...

One thing I am sure about - no miss with the engine. She runs smooth without hiccups. Improved grounding and new coils & spark plug wires a few years ago helped out a bunch. The noise and jumpiness happens around 3,500 rpm. The only time she got above 4,000 was on the ride home Wed and no misbeh...

I just want to say - this site is the BEST for getting solid advice about airheads. Ya'll are great and I thank you.

Airbear - When this first came to my attention, I had just left the office, heading to the store at lunchtime. Took a left turn in first gear and it felt like the centerstand had not been fully retracted. I pulled over and checked things out - nothing showing. Got back on and when in 1st gear only t...
