I'd start by changing the rear end oil and checking it for any debris (or being very dark,unless it has one of the dark Motul oils) .
Being warm doesn't sound out of the ordinary , Hot however demands further inspection . Peter
I remember that replacing the alternator was a significant job and if I'm correct the cam chain is under another cover (under the alternator cover). Others that may have done the job might pipe in but I'm pretty sure it's no small afternoon job. Peter
FWIW , on my 2018 Eldorado, the entire charging system is made in China , and if you want to see how low one can set the bar , check out the handlebar switches under their housings ! But , I really enjoyed that bike . (ps: I traded it in on a Triumph T120 :) ) Peter
It worked amazingly well on my Le Mans 2 for about 4 or 5 years and one day stopped ( typical of electronics, not too
much warning ) . If I didn't enjoy playing around with points so much , I'd consider the Rita , because it got rid of the entire
mechanical advance mechanism and gave a near...
Don't be afraid to loosen the entire exhaust system and reposition to reduce any additional loading on the entire
system . Another reason for this is the frequent observation that the rear brake line is often very close to the exhaust
pipe with the consequences being a softening of the rear...
If it's the same as the 2018 Eldorado I owned , the rear brake line (close to the rear master cylinder) was barely 1/4" from the exhaust
header . I loosened the entire exhaust system and moved it until I was able to get the line an inch or more away from the header . The rear brake pedal stayed...
Most fork seals have the sealing lips designed to be installed with a specific face of the seal facing either up or down , incorrect and they become very ineffective. Someone else here may be able to post a picture that illustrates my point . Peter
Guess I'm pretty lucky , I hit mine at about 50mph and all I noticed was a tender shoulder that was gone
the next day . Though I did notice that birds on the return trip (with the deer whistles) were fleeing when
I got a few hundred yards from them. :) Peter
That's a good question , it's a kinda long one day ride , pretty doable on the Le Mans 2 , but after this last trip , I might
still take the Peterbuilt if I think I might arrive after sundown . That last occasion a few weeks ago with a deer made me
glad to be on that bike , but who knows . Do...
