Clunky shifting only after warm-up--normal?
XXBirdSlapper replied to superhawk996's topic in The Garage
Ran an automotive 20-50w in my FZR 1000 and immediately got the symptoms you describe. Back to the Rotella 15-40w and immediately gone. I have read that the diesel grades have a zinc compound that is good for the wet clutch design. I run it in all my bikes now. -
I have had mixed results with MOOG parts. I would likely use them for ball joint replacement. Honestly, since I made a good parts counter contact at a GM dealer some years back I go GM for anything I can. They beat most auto parts store prices and I expect better quality since they're selling the stuff.

You are supposed to change those????
-
What do you mean by no evidence? The best and fastest way is to pressure test the system. There is, no substitute.

welcome to the bullshit they sell as gasoline. Time to clean the carbs.

Curious if de-ionized water would technically be the best choice. Frankly I see little issue if you use antifreeze, but the bike referenced was a track bike with water only...

Muchoes grass ass.

I will take the RR if available, and the jet kit.

Looking through all the related reports I still see NJ overwhelming evidence of an after market product being better in terms of longevity.

Drove right past this yesterday. Had to tell myself...must...not...buy...another....bike...3k...is....too....much..keep....driving....

I use 80-90 wt Hypoid, with some Seafoam added. No problems to report yet.

My manual specifically states to remove the dipstick, wipe it, reinsert it without screwing,it in, and then reading it. On the center stand.
-
Unfortunately I have bar risers, not sure what kind. Seriously considering putting the clip ons back. I will have to dig them up and compare the clamp thickness. I do know what is installed now is not as you describe, and it is possible the forks have been raised from the factory setting.

It won't fit the earlier years? -
What is the baseline fork tube height? When I removed my forks for the revalve I just measured from the the cap (shoulder, not top of the hex) to the top of the tree and reinstalled at the same number. I have no idea if it was at the stock tube height though.

How do you establish a stock front end setting? Purchased my bird used, and then reset to the way the tubes were when I reassembled the front end...

Last I checked, a few years back, Gary had moved on due to being let go with the slow economy. They no longer gave friendly pricing. It was great while it lasted....

Holy schnikies! OEM rr is about $280 at Ron Ayers! Newer gen is roughly 180. I guess I need to look into Ricks pricing, it wasn't on the website.

Got it. Nothing to clutter up the pan with...

The tubes and orings are UNDER the cover, and feed the pair valve assembly.
-
Did you pull the air joint tubes and orings, or just let them fall into the bottom end??
-
I am guessing that I have no issues with the tubes. Did about 2000 miles without the engine suffering a catastrophic failure this last weekend.

Perhaps your crankshaft has developed a crack in one of the rod journal area.
