Hi All, Last week I noted that I had accidentally inserted a replacement fork seal upside-down. Noting after a web search that it would soon leak, I proceeded...
Yeah, I did, but thanks for the suggestion. I used some tiedowns to compress the whole unit, but to no avail. Older Marzzocchi (?) forks apparently had a...
I had the same problem (also on one only). I finally ended up making a tool to hold the damper. Basically it consists of a long thick wall metal tube that...
Hey there -- Anyone know what the hoses on the underside are used for? One of mine started leaking oil on my GC as a slow drip. Now it's increased to a ...
I get mine tight enough to keep from dripping oil and complete the torque when I have the entire fork reassembled. Most USD forks have the same quirk. LT ... ...
sounds like the oil cooler line. Probably just a compression washer???? have you tried tightening it a bit. and I do mean a bit. don't wrench the little guy...
The oil lines exit the front of the pan and head up to the oil cooler. Mike said the rear of the skid plate, so I don't know what line he is talking about. If...
Thanks for the help. When I say it exits at the rear of the skid plate/engine cover -- I really meant that it's just the longest hose down there. There's one...
I brought the fork to a duc dealer, who got it tighter using an air wrench than I was able to previously (though also with an air wrench. Slower I guess). He...
why no some motosport pannier mounting brackets with pelican cases fitted to them? waterproof hard bags for around 400 bones..... that's my next purchase. ...
This sounds like the fuel overflow line. It should pass thru the small hole in the skid plate and drain to the ground. I don't know how oil would get into...
The only thing I can think then is that the oil is dripping from the bottom of the engine area and since that long hose was there and curled upward somewhat,...
Progress! Went back out to the garage. Now that I know what the hoses are for, it helps quite a bit. Thanks for the advice thus far. The left side engine...
Hi Everyone, You've been so helpful with my oil dripping problem, I figure I'd ask about my final remaining issue with my GC. I think I have a clutch slipping...
Never heard of the the left side cover bolts coming loose. Could have happened if somebody replaced the stator/generator and forgot to torque them down...
I use 'blue' loctite on everything EXCEPT for the well nuts (you don't want to find out what a PITA it is to deal w/ stuck well nuts..). The blue formulation...
... That's probably part of your clutch problem. Starting off in 2nd gear glazes the friction plates and scores the driven plates. Likewise taking off uphill...
... LT's comments seem to hit the nail on the head, but I'll add that this almost sounds like you're lugging the engine. (I don't know why you'd want to take...
The following is open to GC owners as well. Come see how to mod/maintain your GC. I've done a host of mods in prep for 10000 miles of touring in July. - LT The...
Having spent yesterday disassembling my GC and the headlight unit in particular I have found the answer. The dip light has a metal plate, cut at the...
Hi, In case anybody else want to sell their side cases with the mounts - I want it. Also I would like to buy "possum scraper", about 25$. Same goes for the...
Interesting, as my dealer in UK just said it needed to be turned for Uk market no mention of any work on it! But is is basically as I said earlier no...
Check the oilfilter. The oilfilter of my GC came loose once and started leaking. Now I am using a hose clamp to prevent it from coming loose again. Edwin The...
