I'm working on a /7 motor and have a question about the supply of oil to the rocker gear...how do the rockers and their needle bearings get oiled?

Beautiful engine - hideous motorcycle! I find the praying mantis mouth on the leading edge of the front fender the only detail to be over-the-top for me. Yeah, the serrated cutting-edge tip on the front "fender" is a little off-putting to me.....and the silver "wing" thingy on t...

So how big of a bead to use so I don't make a mess?

When I bought my 1978 R100/7 project bike, the seller claimed that he had torn down to the motor to check the condition of the crank bearings and found that they were OK. He also claimed to have "freshened" the top end during re-assembly....whatever that means. At the time, it did run, alb...

AREN'T ANY OF YOU LISTENING TO WHAT JACK SAID????? "HE WILL NOT BUY OR SELL ON EBAY. HE WILL NOT DEAL WITH EBASY." NUFF SAID. NO MORE TO BE SAID. SOMEONE CLOSE THIS THREAD. But wait! What if the seller offers a return policy?? Just pay for shipping back to the seller and get a full credit...

So I noticed a very slight notch in the steering head at straight-ahead position....so it looks like there may be a bearing replacement in my future. Been reading about it and it looks like some folks have some luck with simply cleaning and regreasing the bearings. What about replacing just the cone...
