One small correction; I believe the oil drain plug is actually 12 mm X 1.5, vs. 12 mm X 1.25, as shown.

C & G agrees:

Oh, man! Do you have any idea what a pain it is to edit these things?

Alas, you are right, of course.

It's fixed.

And because Willy's uses Amsoil it should be in the list too. :LaughHard:

"Rotella Synthetic oil is not synthetic. Nor is Mobil 1. And AMSOIL won't say." Tom said in an oily voice.

"Stand back!" Tom said vanishingly...

Hi Tom, Thanks for gen. 1 sheets.

 

[decarabas]

Are Fork Oil specs the same for C model?

Just wondering if the specs are the same for the C model with the slightly larger forks.

BTW awesome info the have thanks for posting that.

Of course he knows how difficult to edit. With his usual thoroughness, Damocles has picked the best time to lower his sword. ;-)

Tom, why don't you just leave the thread pitch as is and increase the toque figure?

Said Norm, turning it up a bit.

"I think I could have done that, but I thought it might result in cracked cases. I chose to make it right," Tom said unfailingly.

 

[Damocles]

Strange. Rear sheet has 259 views; front sheet (where oil drain plug diameter and pitch are listed), has only 5 views.

Take comfort, Tom; at least FIVE people are beneficiaries of your considerable editing effort!

I have the sheets, back-to-back, secured in a clear document protector. Clear laminating would also be a good stroke, IMHO. Roll 'em up lining the tool tube, and . . . the info's always at the ready.

 

[Tom Schmitz]

I just uploaded a new front sheet, thus the few views.

"I think I could have done that, but I thought it might result in cracked cases. I chose to make it right," Tom said unfailingly.

"I sure hope these witty oil threads disappear," said Dan hauntingly.

 

[Tom Schmitz]

Front sheet edited to remove bad error. Foot peg bolts should be 18 ft-lbs, not 33 ft-lbs.

 

[SimplyT]

Brilliant. Thanks!
