It's not just the fork seals that will take damage - try this list:
Chain
Sprockets
Gearbox
Cush drive
Engine
Tyre - rear
Forks - front springs
Triple clamps and steering head bearings
All take a hammering when you try to wheelie a heavy bike like this.
It's your wallet...............[X(]

 

+1 Gill - Except it's 1+4, 2+3, not 1+3, 2+4 [sm=nothatway.gif][sm=lildevil.gif]

If you swap the two leads from the coil on the left so it's feeding 4+1 instead of 1+4 and the same with the coil on the right so it's feeding3+2 instead of 2+3 - then, sprinkle some fairy dust over your entire bike it'll still run sweet. Still won't power wheelie though For that you need to add hens teeth and rocking horse **** to your fuel

 

Hey. I have to comment a little off topic here. With a (homemade) 4-2-1 and 17/45 gearing power wheelies are no problem. Just twist the right hand and sit down and wait. The front end comes up by itself eventually. Unfortunently I suck at wheelies, but running all 1:st gear to the rev-limiter is no problem. Shifting gear while running on the rear wheel makes me chicken out[:@]
Yeah, thats right. I run a 1:st generation (1987) which was a "lightweight" model.

 

Shadow, The reason that I say fork seals is because of personal experience. I had an '84 V65 Magna and was sitting in traffic in Greenville, SC one day while visiting my wife's sister. I was in the middle lane and needed to be in the left turning lane, but nobody would let me over. The light turned green and the a-hole behind me laid into his horn. I got P-O'ed and dumped the clutch at about 6000RPM.

People say that a shaft-driven bike won't wheelie. . . They are wrong. The front end of came up like I was on a 10-speed. I was attempting to smoke the rear tire, but I had been on the road for 3 hours driving and it was about 95 outside. I guess the rear tire had a little more bite than I thought.

After almost soiling myself and getting the front end going down instead of up, the front tire hit the road and both fork seals popped. Shot oil all over the windshield and my legs. I only had about 1500 miles on those seals.

The good news is that my brother-in-law had been trying to get me to sell him the bike for a year and made me a deal that I couldn't resist (50% over book value). He wrote me a check the next day for the bike and I rode back home in the van with the wife and kids at the end of the weekend.

BTW, about 2 months ago,my brother-in-lawhad a battery go down on that bike at work and some guy at his office jumped him off with his SUV. Only he had the engine running (and revving)at the time. Fried the entire electrical system. It's been in the shop for over a month getting electrical parts found, ordered and replaced. The total cost so far is over $550US and it's still not running right.[:'(]

When it comes to the electronics, I don't take chances. I disconnect the negative terminal and use a charger. I never jump it, very risky. A little patience goes a long way.

 

Thanks for the error. It was late.....will that work??....hehe

 

I knew that you knew what you meant

 

Pixie dust and mothballs in the tank works well too, 'cept you'll run out of pixies .........
Rocking horse **** - there's a thought.............
