It's a 250(L)C, a California trail model that got a conversion kit. There's very few of these on the road here in the US...and I li...

I'm suspicious that my cam chain is loose, what are noises that signify a loose cam chain? Or is the cam chain self adjusting?

Google translator Sorry for the question but this is my first bicycle with a hydraulic brake. I took off the front brake, the wheel is free. When the caliper is fitted, the front wheel is difficult to turn. How to fix it step by step? Thank you. -- Edited by tom13 on Saturday 4th of April 2020 11:14:10 AM

Hi, I seem to have a random starting problem on my '93 Raid. Sometimes when I press the button its completely dead, its not the battery because I can try it again 10 minutes later and its fine. All I can think its bad contacts on the starter button. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
