I have some pitting/ discoloration on my front forks, the general stuff brought with age, looking to bring them back to life and protect them. What would you suggest?? Cheers

I've been having a few problems with my RD02 domie. I bought it unseen as a bit of a punt as a non runner. I've had the carb cleaned and had to replace the CDI and it runs. Hurrah I hear you cry. We'll yes but it sounds like a bag of spanners. The valves are spot on, but it still sounds...

Well, I got bit. I've posted before about my '95 RD08 NX650 having a popping sound like leakage from a valve. Finally got around to pulling it down and Lo and Behold, the cam is bad. DUH!:mad: Turns out the arm closest to the decompressor is worn and the lobe is pitting. Evidently thats the...

Still in the process of doing my KTM front end swap. But, I have various bits and bobs that I can probably part with: Original forks with progressive springs: completely straight, seals are in good shape Front fender: no cracks, but will definitely need some paint for someone's restoration...

Ok so thanks to this Forum and sourcing my gold front wheel I have a silver one surplus to requirements. Good condition but slight marks (pitting) to polished finish on rim that can be seen in pics (not rust) - usable tyre Located in London £100 if anyone needs it or I shall keep it in my...

I've just read the Swedish Motorcycle magazine Motorrad/Offroad Special edition, april-june 2012 A German Guy by the name of Harry Spielvogel have had the engine from his 1988 RD03 dismantled. Nothing exciting about that, but the engine done long gruelsome miles...

:( Been doing my xl250s for two years (i dont get much free time) and as i have not long brought a house and doing it inbetween working, i just dont have the time to finish it, so another year without a bike looks grim. I'm thinking of selling it just to get somthing to ride (well when i have...

Some of you may remember that I rebuilt my bodged together xr250 over the summer, during its time with a previous owner it has sustained some serious damage and had been rather badly repaired. I rode it a couple of times and was out with some friends when they pointed out that it was churning...

I have a set of forks, wrongly sold to me last year for an Xl125, believed to be from a CR80, drum brake models, 87cm Long 32mm Stantions Stantions have little pitting to the tops but travel areas look to be fine and not leaking, although would suggest new seals before fitting £40 ono...

The Alp has had a leaky rear rocker gasket for a while now, the replacement has sat in a bag in the garage for the last 9 months..... It is not unusual for these to start leaking with use/age - normally at the rear of the rear cylinder. The gaskets are not bad at about £14 (inc vat) I took an...

Hello all, I've been really struggling to find a set of replacement forks for my XR125. Basically the top part of the tubes are pretty badly pitted and need replacing. The RHS is leaking a bit of oil - was tempted to replace the seals, but no doubt it won't last long due to the pitting. Any...

hello all, Just bought an 08 alp that has been standing for a while, unused. I notice some light rust and slight pitting on the forks, I have used some engine oil on a light cloth and the bulk has come off. There are a few tiny specs that remain. Has anyone any ideas on how to remove them...

hi, im in the middle of a full engine rebuild on an 88 domi with about 45000 miles. it was running pretty much fine before apart from burning a fair amount of oil. i just wanted to open it up to replace a couple of things (snapped gear change shaft) and to check what condition its in before i...

Peeps who know more than me (so that's pretty much anyone really!!!), I have leaking forks on my XL500R. They are NOT XL500R Forks. I believed them to be XL600, they have a disc brake, and 39mm stanchions. Can anyone confirm or deny as I am trying to get replacement stanchions for them - mine...
