Okay, hard question time: is 25k miles too soon for someone to have cooked the rings on this bike? The smoke is almost certainly oil burning, but...
By "garage tuning," I mean that I haven't been out on the bike to assess the results of my bench synching efforts and that I haven't properly...
Three quick questions: 1.) My neutral indicator light stays on even when I'm not in neutral - why could that be? 2.) I'm noticing a slight lag...
This is dangerous as all get-out, but you could try the ol' soak in a big tank of gasoline...won't hurt the rubber/plasticy bits since they're...
Just be certain to rinse everything off very well, you'll (probably) be okay. The only thought I'm having on your random start-up is that fuel was...
I was here last weekend. Here's what I did - YMMV of course - to get it going. 1.) pull carbs and triple check that all jets are clean using a bit...
Posting to bookmark this thread - I have a feeling I'ma need its advice soon as I begin to finish up my restoration. Thanks for the info everyone,...
It's Alive!!! Video of the bike running for the first time in a long time: YouTube - It's alive!!! :rockon::party2:
Wow...that is a beautiful piece of work right there. Don't answer if you don't want to, but what did you give for that? I'm asking for comparison...

Good new fellows: it's running*!!! Bill (aka weel) came up yesterday and we figured out what the problem was. There is a spacer/washer that is...
I'm back in town, but I don't have any good news to report. I tried the procedure outlined by weel above, but I didn't have a successful result. I...
Wow. That is a serious wall o' text. I have taken the liberty of editing for spelling, grammar, and clarity's sake - hopefully you don't mind. I...
Doing some reading before I try anything else: http://vfrworld.com/forums/general-vfr-discussions/24813-starter-clutch.html 1994 Vfr Starter...
Bill, replied to your PM. Found something interesting today; just for fun I've been trying the starter every now and then to see if its...
Right. No jumping from running vehicles because of amperage. Got it. I'm not convinced that it's a connectivity issue, but it definitely seems...
Tink, I'm at a loss. Unless the magical eBay starter is bad (not out of the question)... Here's the deal, I just tried activating the starter...
Okay, well now I'm sad. Screwed the spark plugs back in and the bike returned to its traditional acts-like-it-has-a-dead-battery...
Gentlemen, we have signs of life. Removed plugs, added Mystery Oil, rocked in 5th, cranked it manually - still seemed a little hard. Thought,...
" And remember. None of this was your fault" Yep. That reeeealy takes the sting out...:frown: What makes all this worse is I bought this from...
