You certainly can try it again. Just crack the bleeder when you push piston back in (C-clamp) and make sure that it doesn't go cockeyed on you -...
DO NOT use the starter until you can rotate the engine by hand. The best idea posted was to remove the alternator cover and turn by hand. Once...
The headlight is supposed to dim. Does your solenoid make a click? Inspect it for corrosion - it's very common. Replace if corroded. Also...
Use the hydraulic pressure to push out the pistons. One piston will come out first. Put a piece of thin wood to keep it from coming all the way...
It's very simple problem with an even easier solution. You have a plugged return port in your master cylinder. Takes about 10 minutes to fix....
If the float bowls run from full to dry - you will get about 5-10 miles.
Do a search for how to perform a leak down test - google is your friend. To replace the piston rings, you are going to have to split the engine...
Do NOT use 20w - 60! It's way too thick. These bikes have a marginal oil system as it is - no sense in aggravating the situation. Go with a...
For the first timer, I would bleed the brakes the old fashioned way. As you get more experienced, a Mity-Vac is a good investment.
When in doubt, replace the float needles. If the rubber feels rock hard and there is a ring on the rubber that won't rub out - you need to...
Do a leak down test first to make sure that you know exactly where the leak is coming from. I'd hate to buy all the parts for a piston ring...
I go by the 20 - 60 - 20 rule. Run the bike in the middle 60% for the majority of your riding and you should be fine. As was said before a high...
Nope - can't be done ... sorry.

Clean your Off/On switch and your ignition switch. The contacts can get corroded and cause these issues.
Are you running a filter "after" the fuel pump between it and the carbs? If so, the fuel filter could be causing the pump to stop running because...
There is still room for the valve to drop.... Another way is to fill the cylinder with rope and then turn engine to TDC for that cylinder.
Don't remove it - seriously! The throttle plate is mounted to the throttle shaft with staked screws. That is, the screws have a slot in the end....
I bet the valve oil seals are going. That's why you are burning oil. Most people say you have to remove the head to replace them, but you don't....
If you don't use a clamp to keep the slave cylinder from moving, the piston will slowly move out of the bore. Once out, you have to crack the...
