Finally rode it in to work today. Ran nice and cool on the freeway but heated up a bit when I exited. I'm hoping a thorough flush and new...
Do you still have the left riders peg mount?
Finally rode it in to work :eagerness: Really noticed the need for fork seals (ordered yesterday) and though it ran cool all the way, it heated...
That's who I bought the used rear from :smug:. From what I'm reading, it's time for a swap and some new pads. Thanks for the replies everyone.
Didn't want to start a new thread on this. Does anyone know the stock thickness of the rear rotor and the safe minimum thickness? I have one on...
Did some plastic repair work today. The inside air vent on the left faring had two posts broken off. Luckily these are on the inside. The fix is...
I set mine up using this method. The bike seems like it's running good, though probably a bit rich at idle. Even though I have access to a...
Now THAT'S some info I could have used a week or so ago...LOL.
The pics were done using PhotoBucket editor. I was surprised at how well it worked.
Funny, I had a '90 Katana 750 with those exact same tires. Hopefully I'll have to make the decision next Monday or Tuesday.. :smile-new:
Very cool that after sitting in a garage for 19 years or so there are only a few rubber pieces that need replacement. Thanks to Partzilla I've...
Thanks for the reply. Funny thing I noticed on the way out of the parking lot at work is two of the bikes had mismatched treads. Also thanks for...
I'll chime in with a different approach. Is it really important that the tires match? My bike will never see the track and I am not overly...
On an 87 it looks like the oil pan (cast aluminum) should be plenty stout enough to support the bike. My plan is to slip a couple of pieces of...
More progress today. Front brake system completely disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled. They work perfect. As I was hoping, the clutch...
Ran it a little more today. Either it's the Sea Foam, or the fuel is evaporating out of the canister (or both). The idle has dropped a bit. I...
IT LIVES!!! Got the carbs back on and it fired right up (used a battery charger/jumper to prime the carbs). It sounds very smooth but I do have...
Since there is already a thread about forks, I'll post another question for the gurus. Is there anything to be gained by installing dual-rate...
Interesting. Once I get this thing running, I might just ride it a bit to see if the seals really leak, or if the PO had too much air in them.
So, since I stripped all four carbs down (good thing I did as I found several issues) I went ahead and swapped out all the rubber. I really don't...
Separate names with a comma.
