None of us have been smart enough to ask if the bike does this when you rev the engine in neutral (high rpm, no load.) Doing this test you should be able to...
I am a new owner in Scotland. I pick up the bike (which was imported in 2004 and has done 250km since) this Thursday and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions...
Hi all, I'm a newbie to the group and the world of bikes so please be gentle.... trying to get my CJ running. At the moment the clutch doesn't fully disengage...
For an experiment try adjusting the cable a bit more than tight, a little pressure on the throwout bearing and see if it works. Cookie ... From: elflopso...
On my BMW's as well as our Changs there is a push rod that is pulled in by the clutch lever and goes through the tranny up to the spring loaded clutch pressure...
That was what I suspected too Dan. If you tighten the cable and then it works the problem may be wear there. If the cable does not do anything it might be a...
Hi Changsters, I'd like to mount a slightly fatter tire and I've got a really slight rub on the shaft drive. Anybody ever shim the Final Drive to create a bit...
You know that little washer that is on the axle? Just use a slightly thinker one. I understand you can no longer buy various thickness ones at a BMW dealer so...
Has any thought about trying individual air filters (K&N) to allow more fresh air into the system. I know that this would take away from the old school look,...
More airflow = Leaner condition. Plus it would get in the way of the reverse gear. I have had real good luck with my flathead now that it has brass floats and ...
Let's see if this link works. This is from my Sealing the final drive piece and the spacer is right by the wrench and axle. This is often lost on BMWs and I...
But it has been done. An Aussi fitted Bings if I recall and used separate air cleaners. It could be a bit of a pain being in your way and you would have to...
I have been told that the CJ gas tank will use/can use BMW single outlet petcocks But which one. The reason I ask is: I have picked up a CJ gas tank which is...
Great. Thanks Richard! I will endeavor to manufacture one. I assume it mounts on the axle between the hub and the final drive. Best, Jeff ... From: Richard...
If you haven't already, you might try shifting the motor & gearbox to the right side of the frame. Put the fat spacers on the left and the skinny ones on the...
I do remember that some folks had moved BMW engines to improve drive shaft alignment but another spacer would be pretty easy. It sounds like you might only...
Yeah no spacer at all. I'll hit the local hardware tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Thanks, Jeff ... From: Richard Cook <cookiecookr@...> To:...
When I took my bike in for a new rear tyre, the shop insisted I wait out front while they did all the work out the back. In the process they left out the...
... This rod has several components . The part you see at the clutch lever, the throwout bearing just inside and close to the part you see, and a longer rod...
I'm envious. A crossover is needed to balance both sides of the tank, and it's a lot easier to keep from spilling fuel if your crossover comes after the tap...
... Use #2, when you have to switch to reserve it will run on one petcock untill you stop [check your petcock to see if this works]. I find the left side much...
Hi Phil, Problem solved, thanks to Richard and Danno. I went to the the local hardware, got a short piece of 3/4 inch brass plumbing pipe ( I took the rear...
And if anybody has an original to measure we can get specs for Phil. Although given all Phils experience and the famous Aussie make do attitude I be he can...
Jeff, Just to make REAL sure before I order jets -- the ones you describe below are for OHV, correct? ... eBay ... on ... passed ... anyone ... seem ... head, ...
Jeff, Out of curiiosity, what size tire are you mounting? I'm kind of interested in changing to something like a 4.25x18, which I THINK will fit along the...
