From what I can tell from checking my bike, and calculations from compression ratio, 140 PSI is a little bit low. Mine has somewhere around...
Nah, not so harsh if it makes someone think twice about childish, adolescent behavior....
I think I could handle 40-50 MPG just fine. Just the 30-35 is just not good. I'm going to take the bike out for a ride and check the plugs, and...
The Ninja 250 rides a bit stiffer than the 500, but can't corner quite as well, which is contrary to what I've heard from Ninja 250 sites. I...
No reason to try! The bike is not THAT powerful! If it would pull the front wheel easily, I still wouldn't do it, but would understand someone...
Now that I think about it, the problem if probably the length of the fuel line, and the routing of it. If you were to make sure it doesn't run...
I just know that when I had the pump out of the line on MY bike, the filter would not let enough fuel flow. It woul donly be a problem after the...
I think the problem is when a fuel pump is not used. Mine would run out of fuel in the carbs with the filter in there. I should put it back in...
For the record, my Ninja 250 has a wider rear tire on it than my Interceptor 500, and the exact same size front tire! But that's beside the...
I have BT45's on both of the bike I have, and they do really well. There's nothing I can can say that I don't like about them!
Some food for thought in your post DKC. I didn't really pay much attention to the float levels when I had my carbs apart, more that I made sure...
Mine is in the mid 30's. I'm not sure why, other than my riding habits. I'm on it pretty hard, and it's always short rides (1.8 miles to work!)...
Sounds like it's a good idea to walk away from that one! That stupid kickstand thing is annoying, to say the least! Mine is ok after...
Then my bike is definitely not running right! I don't think it's NEAR that performance level! Then again, it could be just that it's that smooth?
Not sure, but doesn't really matter either way I suppose! They both will cause damage, and the inability to rev much higher.
Ok, gotcha. I read up some more on it, and what I described is actually Valve Bounce. From what I can tell, valve bounce will uusally occur...
First off, let's define valve float. Valve float is when the valve spring cannot hold the valve closed all the way above a certain RPM due to the...
Thanks for a good explanation! I pretty much knew this (being an automotive tech for years) but didn't quite know how to put it into words!
In reference to your problem with the bike dying then restarting later, take the filter out and see what happens. My bike did the same thing to...
So, based on the info in this TSB, which jets do you recommend? I have the 105/102 mains, and I forget which slows, in the carbs now. I also...
Separate names with a comma.
