  Hi squirrelman, can you recommend anyone in the UK that can carry out carb repairs on a gen 4 to your standard? :)

  Hey squirrelman! I saw in an earlier post that you were going to model those side panels for a 1986 VFR750F. Did you ever do that? I am looking for those panels now. Thank you!

  Hey Jerry, why am I disconnecting the fuel pump when the battery is disconnected anyway?

  Talk about hypocrite! Navin Gruesome, in the republik of Kalifornikastan, is banning all gasoline motors!! We are talking about all lawn mowers, chainsaws, trimmers, leaf-blowers and the like. Expecting landscapers and home owners alike to convert completely over to cordless equipment!!!

  I do know people personally that have had really bad side effects, and that is not the long term.

  Ok, off the subject, but why do squirrels twitch their tails when they stop? I was watching that today ( we have a ton of them in the back yard) and they all seem to do it. Nervous habit?

    lucky u with a yard fulla squirrels !
    
    i believe the tail shakes are a sign of fear or uncertainty and may make the animal look larger to predators.
    
    research continues.........

    Ok, that makes sense. Not much to fear except we do have quite a few hawks (not the Honda hawks LOL) There is lots of cover in our back yard so I doubt many squirrels get picked off. Cats don't screw with Texas squirrels either.

  Hi Jerry, I'm interested in having you go through a set of carbs off of a '95 4th gen that's been sitting for about 2 years. Can you give me a ballpark range of what that will cost me? Much appreciated.

  Hello! recently purchased a 86 interceptor 500 and looking to get carbs rebuilt by expert and my reading suggests you are the man. I collect/rebuild vintage HondaS (69 through 76) and these V4s are not in my wheelhouse. Only reason I bought this bike was that because it was my first road bike back in high school and my son wants to experience the thrill! You interested

    sorry, but those carbs might be ruined judging from the looks of that. bowl O-rings can be made from a standard industrial O-ring, size dash 41 @ $2 each. try this for needle jets: https://www.siriusconinc.com/pro-detail.php?pid=&product_id=3089
    
    you'll need ultrasonic to have any chance of cleaning those jets and carbs. they' much worse than average. needle jets are different front/back.

    i have for sale a spare set of carbs for your '91, freshly cleaned, adjusted, leak-tested with new fuel tube O-rings and float bowl gaskets.

    cmsl in europe is another source for carb parts. i'd suggest you look for a set of used carbs for your '86 on ebay.

  The bike has 19K on it. I'm figuring that I'll probably need to change the wheel beerings, rebuild the breaks and clutch hydrolics, new chain and sprockets and rebuild the carbs. The paint and decals will be the last on the list.

    20k miles is the life of a chain and sprockets, and you'll need to service (clean, grease and adjust) the steering head bearings too.
