thanks for replies, that solution for the 81 rear master is brilliant. looks similar to what I'm dealing with. I used a pick to carefully make a very small increase in depth of the channel and bought that bigger snapring from hardware store. it's pumping now. if it comes off again I might have...

I rebuilt front master and calipers, job went great. rear end, started with the master, and not so much. the area where circlip snaps in lost metal to corrosion. inside it looked fine, I thought good enough to re-assemble. had worked this long anyway.. I was pumping the foot pedal, my foot...

I found some silicone spray and filled up that cavity then blasted off the excess with compressed air. Everything seems going well now

I was reading around from googling and there's some debate whether there should be any lube to the switch.

I bought some CRC QD Contact Cleaner and used it on the switch without disassembling. Its taken out a lot of black gunk. You can feel the difference in the button. There is a hole from underneath I found that really blasted it clean pushing the button in and out while spraying. Its a strong...

For a few weeks been having intermittent trouble with headlight and found problem with the starter button. I read online that the starter button is two actions in one switch, when depressed it cuts off headlight and spins starter. Check. When released it should turn on headlight and stop...

I didn't have the fuel tank on, the petcock denies gas flow... this bike was stored improperly. I was trying to clear it and broke off the straw. Even with the straw broken off I still can't figure out how to clear it. I had just filled the carb with fuel and I didn't have the air filter...

do you all know any active cb100 forum? the pillion passenger wants to learn to ride. so the 1971 honda cb100 come out from hibernation for 2 years period. it had always problems with intermittently not running at all.. otherwise would run fine. there is a decent looking spark come from the...

some have aftermarket oil dipstick in the oil drain plug. I'm not qualified to give advice on what you're talking about though

found some suitable washers when I was putting tools away, took them back off and applied them because the right mirror seemed rounded out (the female part was loose) and wouldn't tighten, with the washer it works much better. put one in te left side too just for giggles. that pic makes my...

yeah I got to swing my leg over it and go around town a bit while visiting, I really wish I had one or around town, it seems quicker than the goldwing and I like the v-twin sound but putting a radio on there would be useless. it looks air-cooled but also has a radiator. false fins over the...

took off the left mirror and founda ten millimeter bolt pictured here, torqued it down like I was some type of sex deprived monkey with a 3/8 ratchet, mirror couldn't move so I backed it off a little, it weren't even finger-tight, loose as a goose. I haven't gone Rodin yet but I'm sure I found a...

question: I used the search function first but didn't come up with anything, how to tighten up those pesky floppy gl1100 hondaline fairing mirrors? I dismounted them at the two Phillips head bolts flipped them over and remounted them, maintaining left at left and right at right, would swapping...

yeah I did notice that I'm missing the wheel weights from when they mounted my rear tire to the rim. it seemed very much to the front though, but that may have just been my perception. I actually never looked for a fork brace. wind and road grooves could be a possibility, but it was for most of...

well made my longest ride yet Wichita ks to Concordia ks, solo, and ended up getting 113 miles from the first tank, at ~85 mph. have to say about 85 because of that little peg there, touched it a few times, and sat the needle on it and let is sit for about twenty miles. first rest stop 66 miles...

update couldn't figure out how to get the lock apart [I brought it in the house] so I just probed a bit (read: stabbed the ever-living s--- out of) with that flat-head sticking off my multi-tool, trying to hold the lock upside down and get the shaving to fall out, rather than open it and...

I pried it off - just a tiny bit more force than I was using previously - didn't break anything else though. It came off on the quick-latch side first, not the lock side as-per-usual. I will now proceed to https://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11330 for further lock repair. Doesn't...

I PM'd him a link to this thread as soon as it was posted - just waiting for his opinion!

I was talking about the other locks that are not broken (yet) for the ATF treatment. Prying it open carefully was already tried... it will require a bit more force than I'm comfortable using, but if it's what has to be done, then it must be done...

Yes that is accurate about the fan cycling, it gets hottest just before the first fan cycle [just over 1/2] and all subsequent fan cycles start right at 1/2. I will have to try that solution when I get a chance. Additional information, my top tank is still overfilled, and still no leaks, with...
