    Swingarm bearings.

    Hey Todd, When you get my 12S shock and fork kit in I'll be going through my swingarm bearings and shock linkage and I see you are out of the swingarm castle nut tools. Will you be making any soon and if not would you care to share the ID and OD so I could make my own? Stephan

    1200 Sport fork servicing

    Thanks for the reply Todd. I thought I'd read in another post that others were having to use oil volume instead of measuring oil level because it couldn't be assembled conventionally. Do you have any valving options left over for this fork?

    1200 Sport fork servicing

    Do I understand correctly that the 1200S 2V 45mm Marzocchi fork is assembled much like an USD (upside-down) fork and therefore you can bolt the cartridge in place, leaving the spring and any spacers out, and collapse the fork to get an oil level instead of relying an oil volume? I've got the...

    Radial Front Master Cylinder Size for Tonti

    I'm trying to choose a front master cyl. for my T3 project bike. I'm staying with the original discs and F08 calipers and will plumb with Goodridge Sniper mini brake lines (2mm i.d.) I want to use a Brembo RCS but don’t know which diameter cylinder to choose. They are available in 15mm, 17mm...

    LMIII Swingarm for T3

    Thank you for your responses John and John Z. My most common hazardous mistake is a mid corner too-abrupt throttle position change that unloads a tire and scares the snot out of me. Since this bike will be less forgiving about that than my other bikes I thought this would be an easy mod to...

    LMIII Swingarm for T3

    I would like to use the 20mm longer LMIII swingarm on my T3 project bike. Is this purely bolt on--swingarm, driveshaft and I suppose shocks if the lower mounts are 20mm back with the additional length? Sounds like an easy handling mod so was surprised that I couldn’t find any discussion about...

    1200S Side Stand Dragging

    The side stand on my US 1200S was grinding in corners and I am happy to report that the euro stand has solved the problem. The euro stand lacks the curve of the US version and thus is tucked in a lot better. The stay must be changed as well. The US version is a monstrosity in comparison. The...

    Ignition circuit protection

    Thanks all for your responses. It helps greatly to know that I'm not running with some cock-a-mamy idea that I came up on my own. Old Jock, thanks for the photo. Some fine wiring work you did there. I think I'll use one of the circuits out of the PDM 60 for ignition. I went with the PDM 60...

    Wiring from Scratch

    Thanks Jim & John for your responses, Adding a 20% wattage hedge factor keeps me at the same wire size on ½ of the circuits and requires an up-sizing in the other half. I think the starter circuit is an exception as it is of value to spin the engine as fast as possible so certainly #10 there...

    Wiring from Scratch

    I’m wiring my T3 project bike from scratch and my wire size calculations are wildly off of what I see posted here. Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction as I fear I’m missing something. My maximum allowable voltage drops for lighting circuits of 0.2v and starter circuit of 0.8v...

    Ignition circuit protection

    I'm making a wiring harness from scratch for my Tonti project bike and have decided on using one of Rowe Electronics PDM-60 solid state power modules. Anyone tried or have opinions on these? Never gotten this into electrical systems. Do I read my Carl Alliison wiring diagram correctly-ignition...

    Tach Drive

    I had Ed Milich delete the lower frame rails and cut-off the front frame downtubes on my T3 project bike, and I just noticed that the spine-frame timing case that I'm using for it's upper frame mounts does not have a tach drive. It has unused casting bosses it the area of a tach drive so I'm...

    1200S Cylinder Temp Disparity

    Thanks for the source John. So manufacturers spend all that time and under tank space to create air box resonance that is only optimal for one of the cylinders, or perhaps, one of the cylinders in one RPM range and the other cylinder in a different RPM range? Do I understand that right?

    1200S Cylinder Temp Disparity

    Wow Ghezzi! It certainly sounds like you win the prize. Very interesting stuff. Even if you were off your rocker, sounds like a sensor for each cylinder is worth the effort. I'm going to contact Todd about a couple of bungs and a 2nd wide-band O2 sensor to go with my PCV and auto-tune...

    1200S Cylinder Temp Disparity

    But of course! Thanks for the "DUH" Rafael. I'd like to think I'd have thought of that myself if I got to tinker more but maybe not since I've had this problem for 3 months and hadn't thought of it yet.

    1200S Cylinder Temp Disparity

    Thanks John, Care to recommend an injector service company? I found OKinjectors in Oklahoma w/google. Looks they're outfitted well but who knows what they're service is like.

    1200S Cylinder Temp Disparity

    About 1000 mi. ago I noticed the left cylinder of my '08 1200S is running about 50° hotter than the right cylinder. I checked the temp. after noticing different header color after a particularly long, fast ride in near 100°ambient. The bike has 5000 mi. on it and I feel reasonably confident...

    2008 1200 Sport Fork Oil volume

    My forks do not look anything like the forks in the service manual I got off this site. Is 400cc the correct amount of oil?
