Good idea, thanks! I know that an oil change can't do this, but it's just so strange that this happened after an oil change, I did nothing other...
Yet another vexing mystery. I know this should not happen, but it did. Bike was running very good, so I decided to change oil and filter. Now...
Nice! If I had a harem like that I'd be tempted to move out of the bedroom and sleep with them. :D
Thank you @squirrelman! Wow, removed the sensor, cleaned off the post, made sure everything was moving and cleaned the wire with female connector...
I finally figured out the issue with my helmet lock. That latch needs to be cocked forward, and it was super stiff, I so hit it with a lot of PB...
So that’s what that is? I’ll take a look there too. Thanks!
Perfect, thank you! I always over-think and miss the obvious stuff.
Thank you for that information, I will probably dig into the carbs again and possibly have them professionally cleaned and switch to the 42 jets....
Nice video! Your bike sounds great! I’m still chasing down several issues in the ‘85 VF 500 I resurrected, so I wanted to ask a couple...
And this is what a spedo gear looks like after 30 years or so...:Whoo: [ATTACH] New one is in and working as it should. I also wanted to...
Wow, what a difference from the day I rescued it from the woodpile! Sixth gear, around 8000rpm - wow what a nice little surprise up there,...
Thanks, I got the carbs in and out without too much trouble. I’m just am vexed with the helmet lock not locking. :deadhorse:
I don't have the owners manual, but it's pg 303 in the Clymers. And they say the carbs are hard to get in and out.... :Bluesbros:
After my first time cleaning the carbs in my VF500, and getting the bike running much, much better, now I have a new challenge/problem..... silly...
That's not something I saw in the Clymers about the pilot screws, thanks I'll dive into that tomorrow or sometime later this week!! One last set...
Thank you, yes I had already put new plugs in. I already had them and a socket from my XR600. I came to the conclusion that the the fuel pump...
I will probably get an ultrasonic cleaner from my good friends a HF. :nelson: Though I've been thinking about that for my old Johnson outboard's...
Thank you. Gas is now coming out of the carb that was dry. I removed and cleaned the needle, seat and the itty bitty filter. Wow, they are...
I'm still not certain I understand how that works, since the pump runs when I press the starter (I can hear it and feel it), when I flick the off...
Now I'm confused. How does that prime the carbs any differently than not hitting the kill switch, and just pressing the start button? Now I'm...
