Stupid question, you did remove the holding bolt at the bottom of the stantion correct? It is an allen and if it is filled with crud then it may appear to not be a bolt.

I just did this job last w ...

scott,
Thanks for your reply. The fork is off the bike. the only thing left is the inner and outer tube. The bike was taken to a local shop with a decent rep. I went to check on the bike as it had be ...

I have tried heating the outer tube to the point that spit sizzles. I left over night with wd4o penetrating fluid and then heating. I dont want to put map gas on it as it is the tube is painted black. ...

As the title says. facing the bike the right inner fork wont come out. what to do? it slides to a point but wont release all the way.

Apparently the bushing is seized. I dont want to use a torch du ...

My THEORY is that the front wheel is slightly to the right to accommodate the ABS ring and this results in the bikes "crabbing" to the right a bit.

I kinda slipped a cog last knight over ...

I don't think it's true that all BMWs don't track in a straight line.
I think the reality is that depending on the condition of the tires, the crown of the road, weight distribution on the bike (par ...

.... Head out on the highway. WTF I keep having to knee the bike to keep it from drifting right. OMG has it been wrecked? ........

Well I can tell you that if you continue to ride with that mindset ...

OK really? So today I installed my Throttlemeister kit. Sweet. Head out on the highway. WTF I keep having to knee the bike to keep it from drifting right. OMG has it been wrecked? That is the first th ...

Old thread but I should have let everyone know it was the 4 pin connector as suggested.

Quick question...at idle, how does it run? Smooth or rough?

I'm kinda scared to ask but have you done a leak down and compression test?

.

Havent done compresion test. The bike runs great thou ...

Holy Crap. Nothing but a frame left. Wish I had the cash to write a check. Needs to be done in a month. Maybe later this week I'll try and tackle it. Thanx for all the help here.

Looks like I got some work ahead of me. Kinda sux the dealership did a spline lube 2k miles ago.

Look on the bright side, at least none of the bolts should be seized/striped/corroded.

lol Cu ...

Well crap. an update to the update. Its gear oil NOT engine oil. I was just at the BMW Dealer getting an oil filter and wrench. I was talking to the service mgr and we went out to look at the bike. He ...

A bit of an update. After reading through some suggested threads here and abroad I believe the O-ring is the problem.

The symptoms:
Around 100-110 If I get on it there is some "clutch slippag ...

Your symptoms sound just like mine a few years ago.....(I cut and pasted my post from back then)

Then I was riding with another member- Saltcreek- and did a downshift to pass a slower moving vehicl ...

Thx. Very good info. Ill check it out tomorrow and report back.

Again, Thx for the help.

So. If I get this right I would be looking to buy the front drive shaft? Frankly I would think it could be only this or clutch. The clutch holds fine through shifting all gears and I just noticed this ...

Its really weird. I didnt peg it as clutch as it pulls fine from lower speeds. Someone with an 2001 r100 has said something about the rubber in the shaft. Not sure about that. would have thought it to ...
