Rear Fender redux
I need to replace the rear fender and was wondering if anyone had the
part number for the "new and improved" fender. The bike fell over on the center stand when it sunk in some soft asphalt. It ended up putting a crease on both sides of it. Crash bars saved the tank and everything else. |

front brake. Prepared for the nose dive......not there. Bike just smoothly slowed and into the corner I went. NOW, there will still be some nose dive. But I promise you will not fatague like you are now. I also upped my oil weight to 20 and would possible have gone 30. (I am 6'4" @ 235lbs.) The spacer issue is not that big of a deal. Take the factory spacer and trim it down. Check out my blog at It is about the second or third post from the top. I tried to detail the steps involved. --- In W650riders@..., "spnyi89" <cbh18@...> wrote:

Maybe a shallow dent.? I have not had success with the method though. I'll try it on a shallow dent on my Dodge.

Re: Tank dents
My younger brother, who used to do auto body repair, told me that dry ice will do the trick of pulling out dents, if there is no crease.

The rubber boots move quite a bit fore and aft and that seems to knock them out of syncronization. I could feel an increase in vibration as the miles accumulated, so did the syncronization every oil change. It ALWAYS reduced the vibration substantially. Just my two bits worth.

Re: Vibration
I think that carb sync is about the only thing I haven't gone over.
It runs so smooth, and wild idle down to 500 rpm smoothly without missing a beat, so I guessed it was pretty close. I may do that check anyway. Won't take but a minute.

The W's engine design is like that of the oldTriumphs etc., and the counterbalancer is designed only to kick in after about 4500RPM. My mirrors shake between 2500-3500 revs. and I feel a handlebarbuzz. But, you should check the carb synchronization, it could be out a bit - thisdelivery. :: |
