newbee here 1969 t100s
hello all.
newbee to this forum.
i've owned my t100 for many years.. blew it up once, (timing to far advanced)..
but have not had it on the road for 5 years.. when i first bought this bike, it was after the prievious owner had thrown the primary chain... fixed it.. but a constant hassle has always been the piviot rod for the primary chain adjuster. when first purchased, i had seen a repair at the base of it on inner case. adjuster kept coming loose. when i had the engine a part, had a new boss welded in.. lasted two seasons before it fractured. Last weekend engineered a new design that bares the load on inner case lip.
have any of you fellow 500 owners experinced the same frustration?
it seems like a flawed design.
if my new design dosen't work, i think i will go to belt drive.
any thoughts?
if interested, i can post details of my modification, that dosen't entail splitting the cases, or welding aluminum.
thanks a bunch, looking forward to meeting all in cyber-space.
john
ps if you are wondering why 5 years to fix,
my other bike is a 1964 BMW R60/2.
