... Now that's another theoretical can of worms. What if you just have one big grin which lasts for the whole gallon? Are we talking number of grin events or...
So, yesterday I start hearing "chain slap" during stop 'n go operations and I decide I'm going to adjust the chain for the first time by myself. I own the...
... Mike, I think you are on to something here. You are on the right track, although you will very likely see a skew if you reference any Zook data. Not to...
re: adjusting the chain Be sure to adjust for proper slack at the tightest part of the chain. Chains don't stretch evenly, and this can be seen by slowly ...
I don't have a centerstand but what I did do was roll the bike 5 feet, wiggle the chain and repeat a few times. Would this be the equivalent of what you're...
... Sure, as long as you make the adjustment so the tightest section of chain is within tolerance. Otherwise, if you dial-in a slack section the tightest...
there is a definate diffrence between a grin and a smile, a grin is what i get when i realise i have time to ride, a smile is what i get when i am ON the bike...
... Interesting. I was using grin as a proxy for smile, but I see that there may be two separate phenomena here. (I'm asking myself which I would rather die...

OK, I did what you said and that seemed to make a big improvement. Slamming the rear break caused the right axle nut to "ping" into place as though it were...
... Feeling a buzz usually means the chain is too tight. Have someone sit on the bike while you recheck chain tension. With the suspension compressed there...
Just putting in my 2 cents. From my experience, the Clymer/Haynes manuals are not worth buying. One should choose to either a) buy the factory service...
For the CB250 I'll agree with Carl on the Clymer versus the factory service manual, at least for the little bit of wrenching I did. I found the factory manual...
I finally got the turn signal to put on the bike today. $28+ from the dealer--and it wasn't even a Honda (K&S aftermarket-I think). I felt taken advantage of...
I found the "Honda common service manual". It is a 7,5Mb .pdf file, the scan quality is poor but the contents are very good. Does any one know this manual? Rui...
