    Tire bead question

    Hey folks. Generic tire question for everyone. I just mounted new bt46s on stock gs cast wheels. Is it normal for the bead to break if the tire is deflated all the way? It seems to be seating just fine, but I took out the valve core to swap it and when the tire deflated all the way the bead...

    clutch grabbing and shaky riding

    I did put in new clutch hub springs, also gotten off z1. However the springs on the back of the primary definitely are loose I just don’t have the funds to get an ape replacement at the moment. But other than a bit of noise I don’t think that’s contributing to muc

    I’ve put about 700 miles on it. I too soaked my plates, made sure my routing is good and re did the adjustment. Need to adjust when the bike is hot and forget about it lol

    As for the shaky riding, turns out I’m running on 20 year old Michelin Macadam tires! I check the DOT date codes and both were over 20 years old! Needless to say inordered some bt46s and will be slapping them on this weekend

    82 1100e project running finally, idle needs some help

    no air leaks detectable with carb cleaner anymore. gunna try the unlit butane to pinpoint. carbs were a huge bitch to put it and definitely possible not all my boots lined up perfect. Also suspect im running lean so may turn in my screws 1/4-1/2 turn and see what happens if theres for sure no leaks
