    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok I'll see what viscosity of the oil that?s in it is, (the quickest way to shut a car diff up is to banana skins in it)! :twisted:

So how often do the shims need to be checked?
 
that part of tha tranny is the hypoid oil section. It calls for 90w, but most use 75w-90 without a problem. it may quiet the noise, but will not solve a problem. the shims are not 'checked' on any maintenance interval, they are set when the secondary gear assy is put together at the factory. The cyl head valve shims, on the other hand, are a 4000 mile check. :twisted:
 
I be thanking you very muchly! as the book says this job should be tried at home boys and girls with out the right gear,which I sadly do not have, so it's of to see the fix it man ( he can do the valve shims as well) and saaz I'm slowly changing my opinion of shims. :wink:

Cheers George

The natural enemy of the motorcycle is......The Volvo!! :twisted:
 
Once the shims are bedded in (20,oookms or so) they don't seem to chanage. I have changed about 2 in the last 80,oookms.

Better oil does not solve a mechanical problem, but as my noises with the diff only happened when it got hot, and now they do not happen when it gets hot, it seems to perform its function better.
