Be careful using that Clymer manual. Like most of them, it's a book of lies.

I wouldn't.
Buy new pads.
They don't have to be OEM.
Cheap investment, considering the stakes.

If you want to believe the frames are the same, go ahead.
Start your project and stop arguing with people who's opinion you solicited.
Have fun.

Welcome to the club.
What year is your LT?

Did you take it for a ride?

I am quite certain the rear leak is the o ring on the output shaft.
A major pain in the ass to replace as you have to tear the whole back half off of the bike. While your at it, might as well replace ...

Where in Canada are you and where in California is the bike? It may not be worth the trip/freight.

Don

The clunking noise you speak of is likely the ABS II re-setting. Is your bike a 94 or later?
There's a spot on the panel where you can list your location and year/model of bike. It may help us to hel ...

I believe that's a K100RS fairing without mirrors that someone has bolted on.
Could be a bit of a Frankenbike. I'd look it over extra closely before making an offer. Who knows the history something l ...

True that, Jim.
I also found that their other manuals are no better.
I know the one for my older Honda Accord is a bundle of misinformation.
I had so much trouble with one job that I finally went o ...

I'm suspecting that it's sucking air somewhere.
It's not so much a surge as a hesitation or slight 'stumble'.
Imagine how a clogged fuel injector behaves and that's exactly the symptom.
I really di ...

I do everything I can to avoid ethanol. When travelling, I will take regular if the premium has ethanol. Here, the only pure gas is premium.
I don't know who would have an analyzer here. I will put t ...

It's in Canada and appears to be EU model. No O2 sensor.
The miss is always present when at steady speed. Hard to notice when cool and more noticeable in hot weather.
Fuel mileage is steady, about 4 ...

Checked.

Thanks, John.
I've tried all of the obvious grounds but will try to take some time and look deeper.

Don

Thanks, Scott.
I doubt if it's either one of those.
The problem does show at cool engine and ambient temps.
The problem is almost subtle. Most wouldn't notice it unless they know K bikes.
Sure it' ...

I hope someone here can help me with this.
There is a surging problem with my 95 LT that has been bugging me for about four or five years.
The bike starts and runs well. Goes well enough under full ...

I believe the brake line is longer too. You may want to also check the throttle cable and wires for switches.

My '95 LT stopped using oil when I switched to Mobil 1 15W/50 a few years ago.
Fill it to the red dot and not above.

Don

Don't know what to say about your grinding sound.
I can't see how that kind of drop could put anything much out of alignment in the power train.
The only other things I noticed are the missing front ...
