Might have a broken tooth on one of the gears inside

LOL

Racetech springs. I got the heaviest they offer. I don't recall the spring weight. Made a big difference.

Yes it is. It is the ground wire for the coil. It is a positive ground system. That is how Pertronix said to wire it. I had it temporarily like that. Later I ran the wire to the ground on the block.

Thank you. It's the joy of my life

Glad to help. Got to be creative on a budget.

Yes. It is part of the routine maintenance to check the spokes every 10k if i recall correctly. Also worn or loose swing arm bearings/ bushings will cause the wobble too.

Never thought of that. Thanks

Thank you. I appreciate the comment 🙏

Thank you 👍

Yes the fluid drive is like a torque converter and has fluid in it. I was looking into changing that fluid on mine but decided not to. It does have a drain plug but everything I read and see was that it is a life long fluid and does not need to be changed. It can but might cause issues. Making sure the proper oil and level is MOST important if you are going to go for it. If it is working normally I say run it as is. Some of the Chrysler cars had a diffrent set up that had oil from the motor run through the torque converter. Good luck 👍

this is exactly what me n my pops made when i was little too!

Super cool. I made one with my cousin when we were kids. Fun memories

Advice taken. Thank you.

Wow! That's good to hear

AWESOME!!! Glad to help

I believe they are Arlen Ness "Y" Spoke rims. thanks for the comment

Thank you. Much Appreciated

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment 👍

😊 thanks

Unfortunately not yet.

You need to pull the inner and outer primary off, remove exhaust, pull the gear pack out of the trans case and inspect what failed. Also inspect the main drive gear teeth and shift dog pockets. You can rebuild the gear pack but it might be more cost effective and less stress to replace the gear pack, just slide it in. Good luck 👍

@@sideyardmechanic 16 FXDLS 6speed I beat the shit out of it, In its early age and the gear forks plus 3 gear eaten up.

ballpark on what this would cost at a non dealership shop?

@infamouswcr Hard to say. To replace the gear pack and main gear it's gonna be at least 4hrs labor (cost depends on labor rate) Here in the SF bay area aftermarket shop rates are around $100 an hour, dealerships are almost $200 plus another est $2k in parts.

Just a heads up, not a super hard job but there is a hand full of special tools needed for bearings and seals to install correctly. Good luck

Great Job 👏

Thank you. Hope it helped 🙏

Could be multiple things. Clutch can slip in higher gears if it is burnt, worn or out of adjustment. You can drain the trans fluid and see if there is metal shavings on the drain plug. Good luck. Keep me posted on what you find.

@@sideyardmechanic thanks yea we just bought some new ones right and then I had put them in road around on it then it didn’t seem right took them to a mechanic and he said the plates was in wrong so therefore I road around on it with them installed wrong

Then he fixed it now I realize that I the gears won’t pull in 4,5,6th gear

So that mean they’re burnt right?

Yes.

Hope you were able to get it fixed. Yep some issues won't trip the CEL. Good luck 👍

It was a warranty replacement. Stock motor. Thanks for the comment

Yes it is. The owner did all the work himself, beautiful job

Woooooo!!!! Awesome, glad it helped. 😀

Lol, not sure? It's not mine.

You want to use at least a grade 8 bolt? Usually we put Arp hardware on the rear sprockets. Make sure that the bolts are long. Enough, and have enough thread engagement in the hub Make sure to use red thread locker. It is also a good idea to check the bulb torque every service or sooner, depending on how hard you ride the bike. Thanks for the question good luck

@@sideyardmechanic thanks for the info

Yes i agree. I'm looking in to a replacement. Thanks for the comment

@sideyardmechanic Goodluck!

Mostlikly it was a seized piston or broken valve spring. Common issue on the first Gen M8s. Thanks for the comment😀

I got the cables, clips and other hardware from www.midfifty.com check out the part 1 video I show everything in the packages in the first few seconds of the video. Thanks for tuning in.

@@sideyardmechanic awesome thank you

Yes 💯 %

Oh man. There are still a lot of shows coming up this month in the East bay area. I think there is one this weekend in SJ at history park. 9/21 @ tennyson high and 9/28 at the Eden ROP in Hayward.
