just wondering if others experienced the same problems I did. First it was top heavy and the kick stand was too tall, may times the bike would just tip over on it´s own. Then the oil pump was mounted close to the clutch discs. Oil would collect on those discs and at a light it would randomly slip, tach would red line then be doing a wheel stand which was barely controllable. People thought I was showing off. I was not, I was merely trying to control this beast. Then one night I was riding along and the engine would randomly seize locking up rear wheel. Repair was a new $60 jug with a chrome bore. $600 in today´s money, then it fouled spark plugs often. Parts were hard to get...I got rid of it and bought a Honda 550. Best bike I ever had. and I got rid of the ring da ding and vibrating handle bars. :) the Bridgestone was really considered fast by all that rode it. But why the issue with oil on the clutch discs and the engine seizing up all the time? I had later found out this was a common problem.
