You can make a couple hundred bucks parting out, but consider donating it to a local church group for someone who needs cheap wheels to make a big difference in their life, right now. There are a lot of them out there. My thoughts are the same. Perhaps it will not get the needed maintenance, but it...

I suggest going to someplace like Ace Hardware and buying several metric screws you think might fit. I do know they are different sizes for the two places. Keep in mind metric screws have about four thread pitches. The head size and type don't matter. You might even be able to return screws you don'...

Image below shows the cross section of a typical oil seal. Yours may be different. The round thing in the center is the gaiter spring that holds the oil seal in firm contact to the shaft. This side should go toward the oil (inside of housing). The smaller lip on the left side is the dirt shield. It ...

anyone know where to find a pic of the engine bay layout. I know how the subframe looks on a normal 850 and x70. I'd like to find out how they set the engine that far back. perhaps elongated engine mounts? I have read somewhere (??) that the engine move required fender well cutting and reforming of...
