Re: steering misaligned possible fork issue? 94 elite SR

Here is what you will need to do to check for a bent triple tree. You will have to remove the triple tree and use a straightedge to see if it is bent. I usually measure at least three areas on the stem of the triple tree. Is your headset aligning with front tire? There is a little play on the handl...

Re: Are these taiwan pipes a good buy?

Greetings: You didn't say what your building. The 33mm diameter head pipe is pretty large unless you're running large displacement; it says as much in the item listing. Also, you may find that the "U" for the silencer fouls your bodywork if it's an Elite S or SR. I had a similar pipe, but...

Re: Bought a 97 Elite S Today

So you are the guy that drove down from Orlando and bought this from under me! The guy said you were offering more than asking price. I almost left work early to try to beat you to it but I was not able to. looks in great shape.

I know they look pretty good when painted over but the stilghetst scratch will show through due to the soft plastic. Just wo...

Re: Are throttle cables interchangeable between elite 87 and

Greetings: I test a cable by disconnecting both ends - throttle grip AND carb - and pulling it back and forth. If it snags at all, replace. The '87 Elite was a bit more Petite, so Drifter may have a point. Snaggy throttle action can be caused by a buggered carburetor slide bore. There's a little nu...

Are throttle cables interchangeable between elite 87 and 94?

I don't think the cable is broken but it sticks and has no springyness back like it's supposed to. Could it b...

Re: 87 elite af16 swap question

Greetings: Never swapped an SA16 into the SE frame, but reading about it, it's a relatively easy swap. My question is how does a Stock engine cost $500? Hope it's low mileage and in good shape. Its not stock it comes with the stroker crank, polini carb, bbk, and the racing exhaust. Thats the only r...

I got my new 1500 rpm main clutch spring in and was going to install it. I was able to get the bell off using the clutch holder from amazon. I then was trying to figure out how to disassemble it. I found a video of a guy online that had it clamped and together and then unscrewed the large nut. I put...
