Re: 1987 honda elite - (ed: noise when brakes applied)

it depends on what exactly is making the noise itself... most times a piece of rubber or foam strategically placed will be of help :) When I had my 89E, I had a similar problem, my kickstand made noise whenever I hit a bump... I traced the sound to the kickstand bouncing off the spring... after I fo...

Re: Bent motor/suspension mount?

Hi! :) We will need more info to help with a correct diagnosis... IMO I'd start checking: bent rim mounting areas to the frame (engine mount/ shock mount) ^do you see any signs that these were modified? Some modifications when done improperly will cause misalignment. I would also check to see if the...
