there is a chain or two according to image of R-18 motor

It's all back together and running great. valves sound better than pre-adjustment. I changed all the fluids too. The only thing I don't like, sounds like alternator drive belt is a little squeaky sounding/dry. Anybody run into this? I may need a little silicone on it to quiet the thing up but...

My bad, I convert to 1.000. There set at 10. I bought beer with my service cost savings:) That's a lot of beer.

They were 3.5mm. or so, all four. I reset at 2.5mm and sounds just rite. To me those valves are music when the machine is running.:love:

Did my valve adjustment today. Now changing all fluids again, I am at 7500 miles now. My next upgrade will probably be the Wilbers shock and fork springs.

Recall reverse parts aren't here yet in the states. I had ordered a couple small parts from Haps in Sarasota Fl. and they called yesterday. I asked about the fix and was told "no word yet" He said he would check as they didn't know the fix was in the U.K. and Canada.

From what I'm hearing on this forum the reverse gear recall has been corrected and in progress in the U.K.

Where did the cylinder/coil covers come from? I like the ribbed design, are they tin or aluminum? They would look good in my opinion natural aluminum/raw.

I just bought a new one from Haps cycle sales in Sarasota Florida. They are still available but the part number changed. The superseded no. 77245A7E240 It took about a month from the motherland. The previous no.7734249411.

Still waiting on the manufacture.:(

I have been trying to find Info on some Intake tubes/manifolds with no luck. Does anyone know availability from anywhere?

somewhat of a start but a way to go on my final vision. I think I want a 19in. spoked frt. wheel.

Yup that's the story, but if you do have a leak it won't fix it. My ride had seal pinion seal replaced under warranty after trying lower fluid level first. The first repair wasn't performed properly and did not seal. It was done again by HAPS cycle sales in Sarasota FL. It is holding for now. I...

keep him honest, ask how much for the black one

I'm in central Florida Witsend and lucky to ride every day it doesn't rain too.

I did my own and spent less than a 100. The final drive and transmission fluids were about 25 maybe. all the leftover money goes to beer and more accessories. I don't mind, I like doing these things. If your close enough I will help you too.

I will adjust my own, They need looking at for sure. Intake valves seem to tighten/strech while the exhaust will do the rattling/ticking. I remember those old V.W. engines were air cooled also. If you let the intake valves get tight, then adjust lots of times they broke. Causing catastrophic damage.
