Did it. All on my own, too, using the Leftcoastie's instruction page. (sine qua non). The worst bit seems to be getting the torsion spring to hook on. I finally got it after I notched an old screwdriver on the bench grinder to make a tool to push it with. I started it up, and lo and behold, the clatter seems to be gone ! Can't ride today, because of the nor'easter, tho, watched the Pats! The Old welded dohickey was intact, but the spring was literally useless. I have religiously applied the adjustment routine, every other oil change for 4 years. With the loosening and the banging with a rubber mallet, etc. However, my CSI trained analysis of the old do showed it hadn''t moved ~at all~ ever ! One thing I would add a step #21 : when you're finished, crack an appropriate libation and toast yerself. and also ....what did YOU do with your old do? Purring like a KLRiitten... -- charlie A20 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
