	I was in a Honda dealership picking up oil filters.  The shock
on the black/red '93 looked identical to mine.  Seven settings for spring
preload.  Check.  Screw adjustment for rebound damping. Check.  Anything
else ? Doesn't look like it.  Oh well.  Looks like you'll be shelling out
for Ohlins again !

I've had really good luck with the canned repair kit with small
punctures.  A relatively new tire lasted another 10k without being
patched.  Not that I would recommend this, but even if it didn't hold,
it would have been a slow leak.

Large punctures (like if you have left a nail in a tire too
long) have blown out on me.  Not fun.  

Of course, this was back when I thought going 80 was really smoking ...

I carry the canned stuff on long trips and the BMW kit stays under my
seat for everyday riding.

I can't remember missing a shift on my ST1100.  I do use a technique I read
long ago and has become completely second nature - you maintain pressure on
the shift lever until the clutch is fully re-engaged.  This forces the gears
to engage even if the dogs are mis-aligned.

Yes, the bike is quiet.  Once in a while I'll find myself in 4th at 70 mph,
which is the point I begin to feel vibration in 4th gear.  What's worse
is in 5th gear, you can be going 20 or 30 mph faster than you think.
When to shift gears?  Just about anytime you want.

Some of us *like* efficiency and lack of noise.

Hi Guys,

I am very interested in the Superbike World Chanpionship.
Unfortunately I don't have enough time anymore to watch
a couple races right on the track, as I used to do.
And also, TV coverage is very poor here.
So, in short, I would like to get a video about the
1991 and/or 1992 Superbike World Series.
PAL or NTSC doesn't matter, but it should be VHS.
I would appreciate information about who is selling
them, stores, publishers and so on. It doesn't matter
whether in U.S. or Europe.
Private copies will not be rejected...   ;)
Please post your reply or contact me by email:

Thanks & Forza Ducati

The disclaimer part: I used to own a car, and my wife owns cars. She
even makes me work on them sometimes (Me: "I don't wrench cages."
Her: "When you're through replacing the water pump, tell me what that means."
She insists on driving me to work when there's ice on the road and
my sidecar isn't running.

Back before I owned a car, I had, in order, a Honda CB160, a Kawasaki
90 (the Evil Bike with the Warrantee from Hell), a Yamaha RD350, and a
Yamaha XS750, in that order.

From 1982 until last year, I did all my riding on a Yamaha Virago. Except
for occasional sidehacking on, well, my sidehack.

I am very new to this newsgroup and am new to riding.  I baught a
Kawasaki 454LTD before winter last year and did not ride it much due to
the weather.  I left the battery in all winter.  I was told this was a
mistake.  Is it?  Well, the bike startup up after a while but it needed
starter fluid to get started.  It has been running liek shit all summer.
Yesterday, it died.  I do not know much about the mechanics of a bike,
but when I try to start it (electronic), a repeated clicking results
from just under the seat on the left side of the bike.  It looks like
the starter (maybe?).  Is the battery dead or the starter gone or is
this situation inconclusive.  Any help will be well appreciated.
By the way, I thought that this was an ideal bike to learn on.  I think
it is an 81 or 82.  Cheap, not a lot of power, and fun, very fun.

Now that you mention it, I think I may have heard this some where also. My
'92 has seven preload settings on the rear spring and a small screw for 
adjusting the compression damping on the rear shock.  The front only has
the ability to adjust the compression damping.  If you could detail the
adjustments on the '93 I would appreciate it.

John is not confused. When you press the left bar end, the wheel turns right.
And vice versa. Get someone to videotape you in a turn at onset of counter-
steer, slow it down on replay, and you will see for yourself. Remember,
"turning right" (or left) is relative to the zero degree point of the fork
in this discussion.

My only point was that the writer I responded to claimed a turn could be
made without countersteer. The only practical test would be to eliminate the
wheel's ability to turn past zero degrees to the opposite direction of the
intended turn (i.e., cross over the direction of travel axis drawn from
the center of the rear hub to the center of the front hub - assuming things
are symmetrical). I contend that a practical turn of 90 degrees at 40 mph
cannot be made without countersteer at least once on entry to the turn.

I still am looking for someone who claims otherwise to volunteer to have a
block put on their fork to stop countersteer (at least, any that would cross
zero degrees) and be filmed negotiating the test curve. :-)

Why bother?  Your local auto parts store probably
has the battery you need.  If not, try Sears.
I replaced my bike's battery for about $35 plus
tax (YB14A2(?)) last year.  Sears would probably
have charged more, but not what bike shops charge.

	I need to raise the handelbar on a R100RS ('81) by
	about an inch.  From the looks of the stock riser, this
	would appear to be a common and simple aftermarket
	product.

	Can anyone recommend a source?  Time is of the essence.
	Thanks.

Wish I could help you, but my dogbone risers bring the handlebars up
3.5" so that's out. Call you local cycle salvage yard and see if they
have a bunch of handlebars that would fit your BMW so you can try 'em
out. You also have to factor in lengths of clutch/brake/speedo/tach
cables. Another way to do it would be to lower the seat by removing
an inch of padding. That was done to my seat by Mike Corbin, but it
was for the previous owner who was on the short side.
