Yours is not an isolated incident. There are more hubris filled clowns out there than you need to know .

OOOH yeah !

You need to fix this so i can enlarge the photo !

With that bent-all-to-h*ll kickstarter it reminds me of a Montesa or Bultaco ?

I don't think you are going to have any problems w/the external pump if you keep the heat wrap on the pump. Unles you can slip up on another bike you can transfer all the parts from this will get pricey....

I hope you meant 1/2'' drive instead of 1/4" drive ratchet ? A 3/8" Allen head is smaller than a 10mm Allen head ... too bad . A T55 Torx is too small to help also. Are you using a GOOD quality socket on this bolt ? If you have a heat gun , you can apply heat to this fastener head for about 15 min. & then use a breaker bar and proper length extension to get away from the exhaust pipe. Push in against the fastener while someone else holds the bike (so it will not fall over & leave you greatly disappointed) so you will not push it over. I assume you are turning this fastener CCW ?

If you have something....post it !

look in the members section of this site and send him a PM .

Got a pic.... I might have a suggestion .

Which bolt failed ?

He probably is referring to Teo Lamers ..

If you hadn't scratched up the fuel tank & script I could have recognized it immediately ! A Matchless ?

Wonderful ?

"Semi" ride-by-wire ?

If you want this , I need to know which side ...

You're in luck ! I found some fork parts I purchased from Paul or Jaap a few years ago ! PM me and we will work something out .

Will do !

I am showing my ignorance.....what is the difference between a Scura and a Scura R ?

I think this recall is for the plastic fuel line connectors. They should recall the wheel bearings in the rear axle. I am not sore if the wheel bearing w/more balls is actually going to fix this problem or not ?

For sure .... He was ( is ) a great guy. IDK what happened to him .

Well....where is BFG ? [Moderator edit: link to Paging BFG?]

My spare wheel ( w/the worst quality nut of all time on the valve stem) has the 8 mm opening on the front wheel . You should dismount the tire to see if you have enough material to drill this out to accept the larger valve stem .

Fastenal (or anyone else)does not make tools for these threads ! Anti-sieze and bad words helped too .

It's better to be canonized than vilified !

Don't worry about going by model years. An external pump has the chin pad & the internal pump does not. I think the red frame to black frame is when the frame/swingarm dimensions changed.
