| I had an ยด82 FT 500 Ascot. I enjoyed the bike, a lot of fun to ride. I had to force myself to stop doing distance wheelies after the second ticket. I bought it Corpus Christy, TX and added a Vetter Quicksilver faring. I road it all over Texas while riding with The Gypsy M/C Club. Even road round trip from Texas to Vermont.

The cam chain tensioner would sometimes catch when the engine was cold and allow the cam chain to rattle but would release after a bit. The base cylinder gasket leaked when the FT was a year old even after I retorqued the head. I removed the top-end to replace the gasket and tentioner. I gooped the gasket with gasket shellac and problems solved. The tachometer drive |
