Just bought a Tiger myself to do some serious touring on (rode it back from Oklahoma City to San Diego, awsome long distance beast). It is a tall bike indeed,...
Both my fork seals are leaking, not surprising on a 98 with around 35k I guess. I am not much of a mechanic, I usually do the basic chain adjustments...
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. I used to do a LOT of fork seals on dirt bikes years ago (anyone heard of a CZ250???). If all your doing is changing the seals,...
i do pretty much all of the work on my bikes, but when i had a fork seal go out on my 98 tbs i pulled the wheel, pulled the forks and took them over to my...
Aloha Martin, With 81k miles on my 98 TBS I've yet to have leakage from the seals. Luck, keeping the fork tubes clean, environment. Must be one or a...
thank's guys. I think with my limited shop experience I wil take the forks off and to the edaler to save some money on the per hour charge. Cheers Martin ... ...
I'm new here, but gotta jump in at some point. Rider Warehouse sells a product to be washed into their Aerostitch suits for water repellance (sp?). Perhaps...
Aloha all. Hey I was wondering if anyone has ever looked for a nice set of replacement turn signal lites for the front turn markers. I recently caught a...
Hello all, It's been in the mid 90's here in Detroit. My fan has not been kicking on in traffic. It always used to. I check the obvious temp connector on the ...
Poi-Boy- Aloha. Not that I ever dropped my bike, but I put a pair of Bullet Marker lights (from Newbonneville.com) on the rear of my TBS. Then I put the...
An alternative to consider is to remove the stalks from the rear turn signals and mount the signals direct onto the chrome brackets, then use the shorter rear...
Hi Niles, Good to see you in Nelson, mate. I am sad to report that, after 2000 plus klicks of strafing corners with the hooligans up there, I rode back into...
Richard- I too had a great time at Nelson. I think it is consistently the best of the Rat Raids. Great roads, great folks, and hell some of us even had air...
No sorry. But there's not much to see. The rear signals mount flush to the chrome carrier and the front signals are just on shorter stalks. C ... brackets, ...
Hi Niles, Thanks for the offer, mate, but I think I'll keep mine standard. That way, any tipover will just damage the turnsignals which are relatively cheap...
Hi, John. I thought that the sensor on left side of the head is only for the hi-temp light, and the fan thermo-switch in located in the cooling thermostat...
I did the same and I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Speaking of turn signals, anybody know if there is an aftermarket alternative to the original orange...
Woody is correct .... need to remove the tank to get access to the fan "sensor" which is near the thermostat. You can pull the wire off and short out the 2...
I just put in my 4th fan thermal switch: there must be a design problem. I actually wired a switch across sensor wires so I can do it manually when the sensor...
I live in North Carolina, near Greensboro. Is anyone near there selling a used but nice Thunderbird Sport? Color doesn't really matter, though I do perfer the...
... If you keep an eye on Ebay (http://pages.motors.ebay.com/browse/motorcycles.html) for a couple of months, you'll probably find at least one somewhere near...
I replaced my fork seals last summer. I did it almost all myself, although I don't consider myself to be a good wrench. I did have a friend at work make a...
