I have gained some much needed confidence in the bike today, by taking it on a decent ride, to run some errands. The bike perform well. I won't...
I'll be following this, as I have the same complaint on my 500. I think mine is worse from someone recovering, and modifying the padding in mine....
If you decide to repair or rebuild, make sure you can locate all of the necessary parts BEFORE you do! I'm having troubles locating head gaskets....
I'm good to go on the carb plate. When I bought the bike, it was there, just not installed. Sorry to confuse! Thanks for the offer anyway!...
I agree crusty, I was trying to get some understanding out there of how things are on the other side. The only big questions I would have are the...
I'm also questioning the gasket sets! I paid about $45 for a set for one carb from the local Honda stealership (thinking it was for all 4, going...
I forgot to mention that the idle is much better now! It idles smooth, and doesn't hang like it was doing. I still need to tweak on the pilot...
If only 1 cylinder isn't running, it could still be a lack of fuel to that carb. Due to a chunk of rust? Other than that, it's time to get out a...
I got to the root of the fuel supply problem, while creating another problem, trying to fix yet another problem! Follow that? Here's my latest...
I'd like to see an itemized bill on this one! I understand that parts are getting hard to come by, and therefore can be expensive, but that...
Even IF the rust in the tank isn't your current problem, it IS a big issue that needs addressed, and COULD be causing your problem. Take care...
If you can't get the cables to adjust, it's because there is somethig wrong (worn out or linkage bent, etc...) NOT because of having a return...
Looks like the Shasta White is a Car color, also. Therefore, it should be an easy color to have mixed. I looked up the colors for my 85 (the...
The thing about colorite is that they use their own paint codes, and they are pretty pricey. At the shop, we have all the toners and supplies to...
Mine runs good when rode hard, but only for so long! Then I gotta coax her into going another round! In other words, when it runs, it runs...
I'm going to be figuring this all out at a later time, if nobody has any info by then! Well, unless it's much different from my 85.
Welcome! Nice find! That looks like a REALLY clean bike! I hope that mine looks somewhere even close to that good one day! Good luck on...
Thanks for the info Jamie! I've always had a distrust (and dislike) for aftermarket manuals in the Automotive industry, and now I can see it's...
Yeah, I think I have my work cut out for me! At least I have access to the equipment to use to make a definitive diagnosis!
Update! Update time! I've put a couple hundred miles on the bike now, and it has not been exactly a smooth deal! I fixed the oil leak from...
