Got a pic.... I might have a suggestion .

Which bolt failed ?

He probably is referring to Teo Lamers ..

If you hadn't scratched up the fuel tank & script I could have recognized it immediately ! A Matchless ?

Wonderful ?

"Semi" ride-by-wire ?

If you want this , I need to know which side ...

You're in luck ! I found some fork parts I purchased from Paul or Jaap a few years ago ! PM me and we will work something out .

Will do !

I am showing my ignorance.....what is the difference between a Scura and a Scura R ?

I think this recall is for the plastic fuel line connectors. They should recall the wheel bearings in the rear axle. I am not sore if the wheel bearing w/more balls is actually going to fix this problem or not ?

For sure .... He was ( is ) a great guy. IDK what happened to him .

Well....where is BFG ? [Moderator edit: link to Paging BFG?]

My spare wheel ( w/the worst quality nut of all time on the valve stem) has the 8 mm opening on the front wheel . You should dismount the tire to see if you have enough material to drill this out to accept the larger valve stem .

Fastenal (or anyone else)does not make tools for these threads ! Anti-sieze and bad words helped too .

It's better to be canonized than vilified !

Don't worry about going by model years. An external pump has the chin pad & the internal pump does not. I think the red frame to black frame is when the frame/swingarm dimensions changed.

You should grind a taper on the end of the pin so it will go into the bore of the swingarm pivot bearing. Also, I would pop off the dust shield on the bearing and fill the cavity w/grease and reinstall the dust shield. p.s. DO NOT mess up the threads of the "pin" or the pork chop. If you do , remove the chop and screw the pin in from the inside and back it out straightening up the threads. No one has to ask how I know this procedure .

I would clean up the spacer til it is perfect . Then make a bushing to fit the bore of the hub and fit the spacer. The spacer is needed in holding the wheel bearings & other parts tight in the wheel .

$$$$ I looked at those a few mos. ago.... about $140/ea. Be careful installing them , use a proper tool & drive or push on the o/s part of the bearing.

It probably should have had a bronze bushing but it didn't . It will not be too difficult to get the diff. off the bike & replace .

Where are you going to purchase the parts ? Go to the SKF website & decipher the entire part # . The prefix and suffix tell all about axial load,speed,seal material, etc..... Not all 6204 bearings are the same . Do not go for the price only when selecting these parts. Good luck

Using relays to turn on a device is always better than using the switch to carry the current to power to the load . A manufacturer should do this at all opportunities but added costs factor into this . You know what wins = cost . If you have enough time , resources, etc.... you should add the relays .
