A classic stuck float valve symptom. Can be a bit of grit or munge from corn gas.

I closed the deal today - the trike mod is mine. Bought it from another member here!

That's a half-hour from me.

Thanks Skiri. I won't be doing the mod because I only intend to run triked in the cold weather and go back to sweetly carved turn in the Spring!

Hidey Ho Good Neighbour from Brampton! Where in Hazel-town???

THIS WAS DEFINATELY SOMETHING UNUSUAL - there were OPP in every turnoff and layby and not one donut in sight - on my back-trip the first time I did see about 16 same model rice cars all in a line on the shoulder near the east end of the twisties - all with after market rear spoilers installed...

I did it twice today with the Contour mounted on my side fender - BOTH TIMES I screwed up with the camera and got no footage - bugger. Guess I am just going to have to do it again Tuesday afternoon - only day this week when no rain is forcast. The OPP were at every turnoff all along the road...

Just came back from running the 'Forks of the Credit' twisties. The roads were wet and covered with leaves so I was glad to have the outriggers but there is no way to hold anywhere near the speed that is possible with 2 wheels. I have tried in the garage and there is no ay I can tip the bike...

Have a DIY trike mod installed on my GL1200 on loan for assessment to purchase. It seems to be a quality build and the builder and I are forging a friendship over it. For those that followed my Jello post, his was the other bike. A good guy. As an "I love the leanines" biker - a trike is not...

For the little amount of time it takes, you might as well. I torqued the brace bolts to 23 ft-lbs on a guess (couldn't find it spec'd anywhere) and that didn't feel like it was about to strip so it should be pretty safe.

Another glorious day of no butt suction holding me onto the seat! Stopped of at my new buddies place on the way home and passed the cure info on to him too - he has been so frustrated with his that he bought a Suzi Boulevard and has been trying to sell his '86 Aspencade. He climbed on mine...

I think it is the way the darn manual is written - disassembles the fork then talks of seal change. Several have reported methods to go straight to seal change w/o the disassembly. I like that!

Left hand presses down and sets alignment while the right turns the rachet handle.

On my ride to/from work today I nearly died - the grin on my face was soooo big it was like a ram-air scoop and I almost couldn't breathe out! It was like riding a completely different scoot - I hadn't realized that I was actually having the problem at all speeds and that the eratic wandering...

Then I suppose that you add the new oil through where the seal fits before you replace the seal?

I agree - that 0.010" is nothing that concerns me.

Update: Here is what I just finished doing and verifying 1) verified the caliper-bracket to disk gap was over 0.028" - feeler gauges were loose (so much so that I was wondering if I was checking the right place - no pictures in my manual) 2) axle holders are on with arrows forward, no gap at...

I have found the line in my manual that references the space check - it is now highlited! I will do a check as it is now. Thanks guys.

Oh oh - if I answer "what kit?" does that answer you? I just did up the top end then set the forks down on the axle slightly and did up the clamps. I didn't see anything about chescking or setting the fork spacing in the manual?????

The only other 'Oldwing rider I know has exactly the same issue on his bike - that's why we met through here! I can actually feel the issue stopped if I jiggle the bars left and right several times - it is like the wheel lags behind the bars a bit and when I stop jiggling the bars the wheel...
