You sure the noise you're hearing isn't just the normal somewhat clattery sound of gear driven cams that some of us have grown to know and love?...
Coincidentally, I 'popped' a starter off of an 86 VF700C just yesterday. The brushes were disintegrated. The commutator (the brass segments the...
I'd say with fairly high certainty that the problem is starter brushes wore and/or sticking. By tapping the starter motor the brushes made brief...
Next time it fails, wiggle the ignition switch bottem, wire connector, starter relay connections...have a good look at the main fuse, too.
Not necessarily. Never fails to amaze a customer when their GL1500 begins to magically charge after a good whack with a soft dead blow directly...
Fired? ... That's a laugh. Not many people doing this as long as I have want to anymore...at least for a dealership. To be honest, I don't do...
Squirrelman makes a good point though...regardless of what carb bank you're using. 'Specially cause removing the plenum can disturb the linkage...
Isn't there a stock map file on the company's website? maybe you could download it for comparison.
You're right. If a slow or two is partially clogged you will have to turn the idle speed knob too far in to achieve idle speed relying on the two...
That sounds pretty high. Other things can effect the regulated voltage and I'd check them before replacing the R/R. A weak or discharged battery...
Oh...based on the symptom he is describing, If the idle speed adjustment doesn't help I'd presume the slow jets are still clogged, or partially...
If you've read most of the 'carb cleaning' posts on this forum you should have figured out it's a problem for 'lay people'. You gotta have the...
Looking at the picture you posted...your idea of spotless carbs and mine differ quite a little. Those carbs look pretty varnished to me. I'd be...
Well put and I agree. With stock jetting and good clean carbs, I usually end up in the 2.5 to 3.5 range. Honda stock slow settings are plenty...
Wow...there's gotta be a story behind that $652 quote. I think $150 is bad enough.
If it were me, I'd go with the Yuasa. Other batteries maybe fine as well. If you're servicing it, make sure to use the acid that comes with it...
As usual I don't agree with all of Don's post. I'd say your charging as posted is fine and it's normal to see a bit of variability in VDC with...
This is probably stupid and obvious but check your battery terminals. Had the recall done yet? Check that blue ground jct connector that sits...
Hey Sruss...That looks like standard Honda splicing to me. Really...I think you're 'barking up the wrong tree' with those small wires. At any...
Yes you can. I have a Yuasa tender (around 35$) and it comes with jumpers as well as a pigtail you can put on your battery terminals for...
