Well, I got them rebuilt. The only 5w I could find was Yamaha M1 suspension oil for $30/quart. At least the dealer claimed it was 5w-couldn't tell from the Japanese packaging. They felt good when I tested them before replacing the springs. I took a 20 mile ride and did not see any leaks. We shall se...

Does anyone know the correct volume of oil for this shock? I am rebuilding them and have seen several different quantities of oil recommended. There was about 80cc left in the first one I disassembled.

Thanks!

Each time I stop with a warmed up engine, the idle is at about 1300rpm. After sitting for 30 seconds or so, the idle drops to a normal 1000rpm's. Float adjustment?

Thanks!

I have an IKON 7610-1298 shock that has leaked a bit. Does anyone know of someone who reseals these?

Or, if anyone has any other good source for an R90S type fairing domestically, I wou...

They did a great job of removing the liner and the outside paint, but the acid ate the fine threads on the gas valve connector. I had to tap the tank outlets on the inside ...

I've had the Omega on the bike for a couple thousand miles and I love it-Fast starts and seemingly better acceleration. However, after some recent posts I've read, I think it is time for me to install a switch for a backup to points. I am curious to know, from those who have installed a backup switc...

Major, I generally agree with you. If I need to buy a tool, I can get excited about a job. But, if I have to buy a bottle or can of something that is left on the shelf and no new toy...well...
