Thanks Wilcoy02! ha! ha! lol. Will give it a try! That,s what I wanted to know.

Hi All: when I remove the starter & reinstall it, is there a chance I could dislodge the sprocket in the chain & have it drop. Is the sprocket tight in the chain or just sitting loose waiting for me to make my move? It seems easy to do, but the sprocket worries me a bit. Going to replace...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I did notice after the bike warmed up it did stop steaming at the seal, and to-day it wasn,t wet around the seal at all. Hopefully it was because of the cold temp. like you,s thought. Thanks Les.

Hi experts! +7 in Southern Ontario to-day & sunny, got the urge to fire the wing up & drive around a bit. When she was warming up i noticed a bit of steam rising up from the engine area on the right side, upon further examination it was coming from a wet seal on the elbow fitting to the right...

my 82 interstate is wineberry, so going with red.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Peace & Happiness to you all!

Thanks Dan & Gerry: The rideing season is almost to an end up here, the temp to-day was plus 5 celcius, going up to 11 on Sunday, that will probably be my last ride! (maybe) Think I will remove the chrome & boards over the winter & clean the screen just to see what it looks like after all those...

Thanks for the info & pictures Re: oil screen! I,ve got engine side covers & floor boards on mine, lots of stuff to remove to get there. Looks like a winter project. lol. Like I say I,ve owned the bike for 20 yrs. & never ever serviced that, bet I,m not the only one!! How often should the screan...

It,s on the right side, looks like you have to loosen an engine mount bolt to get at it.

Hi All! was just looking through my Clymer, noticed that our bikes have an oil screen. What is the purpose of this? I,ve had my 82 interstate for 20 yrs and never done a service on this. Looks to be in an awkward spot. What do you,s do with this? Thanks Les.

Hi all: got my mastercylinder kit & caliper seals installed by me! (problem solved) Brakes are applying & releasing properly. Was out most of the day on it. Working Great! I believe the problem was the plugged pin hole in the return port, like most of you,s said. The problem I had with that was...

Welcome Gord! Nice to hook up with people that enjoy the old wing,s! Lot,s of help here to keep our bikes on the road. Les in Whitby Ontario.

Thanks Dan: will give it my best in the morning. Have a nice weekend!

HI: got my MC off and apart, looks like the return port is totally plugged. I can see the 2 holes ok, they are clean now. I,ve been using a tiny pin on the return port, but can,t break through. It,s hard to believe that pin head hole can screw up the brakes so bad! Did any of you,s have problems...

Thanks again! Got the caliper apart and MC off, just ordered K&L kits from Bike Bandit. I,m in Canada, not sure how long it will take to get them. I took the resivor line off the MC and noticed the brake fluid looked black, couldn,t even see the 2 small holes in the MC, I clipped a piece of wire...

Thanks for your reply,s , will rebuild the caliper and MC.

Hi All: just joined up! I have an 82 Interstate, I,ve owned it for about 20 yrs now. Just recently I had my rear brake pedal go hard and the brakes pretty well locked up tight. After sitting over night the brake pedal was normal, after testing it again the same thing happened after a short...
