Strange back end wibblies had me looking at the rear end again. Noticed that the spring had shifted sideways up onto the edge of the cotters that supposedly hold it central. Clump with a copper mallet and a squirt of WD40 sorted the issue. Alls fine in the corners now and even less wobbles on the white lines and banding. Wonder why it shifted in the first place? -- -- Robbo 1500GL 1988 Goldwing (Halfway rebuilt) BMW K100 RS 1984 "Fairly Quick" status. Silver level BotaFOF #19. E.O.S.M 2001/2002/2003.

Robbo says... Because it's a Pile Of Shit BMW of course, failures are a way of life. Sell it and the money-pit Gold Wing and buy a proper motorcycle.

I have only ridden one BMW and that was a 20yr old R80, the one with the giant fairing, it was a barge and the brakes didn't work at all. Very unpleasant and I wouldn't wish one on anyone.
