Has this happened to someone else, or is there something that could cause it? I had 2 clutch bolts shear last week, took the precaution of replacing all of them. Less than 200 miles later another (brand new bolt) shears. Can a badly adjusted clutch cable do this, or is there something else? Am...

In the video, he has the air box off. Can you adjust it without taking the Air box off?

Can the damper settings on the bitubo be changed on the fly?? The adjuster knob is in a very handy position to be able to soften or harden the ride without having to pull over :laugh I know with the stock rotary POS, it was advised to make changes to the settings when the bike was cold, is this...

Ok, I have searched this forum and the web for how to adjust the chain only be confused. This is my first chain drive bike, I've owned 2 belts and 2 shaft drives. I read that some adjust on the side stand, center stand and swingarm stand. Plus everyone checks the tension differently, with the...

I have been taking the path to further enjoyment and attempted to fit the 1/5th. Opened the instructions...and read them...well most of them. Took apart front brake side switch block loosened off the cable adjuster (didn't have more than 1 turn per cable) Took out the cable in the throttle...

This is my first post so be gentle. I've recently purchased a 97 TLS that I know very little about. Things I do know: 1. The bike goes like a scalded cat. 2. Sometimes for no apparent reason the bike runs poorly from idle to 8000 rpm. This behavior directly corresponds to the idle adjustment or...

Hi guys Now, before someone says to me "use the search button" etc, i already have and i don't quite understand all the jargon. I just want a few things broken down in plain english please. Yesterday, in pursuit of 2 R1s,a GS1200 piloted by a madman, a Blade and a ZZR, i found myself on the...

I just watched the video and does the bike have to be running while I adjust it? THats part of the problem with my TLS (R motor swap)is that it dies when I don't stay on the gas. THis weekend I was going to pull off the PC3 (which I think is part of the problem) and try to adjust the TPS and...

How the hell do you move the adjustment knob for the rebound ??? Its tight enough in there as it is but i cant seem to work it out. is the lever screwed in or push in or what? I have done a search but cant seem to track it down and i really dont want to pull the shock out just to work it out...

I am about to atempt to balance the throtle bodies on my tls, i have downloaded the video, bought gauges but i am not sure which connections in which plug to bridge to show the codes on the lcd display can anyone describe or show a picture of said connections thanx in advance

Just got my valves adjusted and now hear a loud ticking from the front and rear cylinder. Also did the pair valve removal. The bike seems to accelerate smoother, not as much back fire (still some), but should I be concerned about the metallic tapping? The tapping goes away when I decelerate...

I think I'm going to tackle the valve adjustment in the next week or so and I've got a few questions: 1. Is there anything that a 1st timer should look out for? 2. Are there any other mods/fixes/improvements I can do while I've got the heads opened up/ cams out 3. Can I expect any difference in...

Ok guys, remember when I got my carb sync tool. Yeah well I have it. But I haven't even gotten to use it yet. Here is the problem. I cant get the fast idle speed to set to 2000RPM. I am not sure what is supposed to touch what and what to use to adjust it. Can someone please post some clear pics...

Guys, Please help me with the following issue: Yesterday, 24 September was official "Braai Day" in South Africa and instead of braaiing, (baberque) i decided to work a bit on my TLR. Seeing that i always have this idle problem, specially when the bike is low on fuel. This sounds like a comon...

I'm at 15,500 miles and thinking about getting the valves adjusted, and wondering what the going rate is for a shop to do this..??
