    81' 1100EX charging problem?

    I recently purchased this bike and found it wasn't charging and found some melted and black connectors to the stator leads. Testing shows the stator passes the test but not the resistance tests to the R/R. My question is will the SH775 fit this model and how is it wired in? I'm assuming that the...

    Progressive fork springs

    I put a set of these in my 850 20 years ago and they have been great ever since. The stock springs were sacked out and these were a big improvement and not having to mess with the air was a plus. Pat

    Kawasaki Concours - thoughts on

    I had a 1990 Concour that I bought new. I liked some things about the bike but not others. Overall the Connies are a good bike and reliable as history has shown, and have a very loyal following. They came out with the ST1100 shortly after I purchased the Concour and I wished for years that I had...

    This may not be your problem but I had the inner rubber disc in my petcock, that controls fuel flow direction, start deteriorating after 30 years of use.

    I had a slow speedo needle. It was caused by a glop of factory grease in the gauge that relocated itself after 30 yrs. and slowed things down. When I took my speedo apart I did it a little differently. I used a flat blade screwdriver and slowly pryed the metal away from the plastic, cleaned and...
