Thank you for the detailed response Captain. The 110/90 looks odd to me as well which is partially why I wanted to ask. It looks like a bit of a...
Any tire recommendations or deviations from stock profile to consider? 110/90-16 and 130/80-18 is what I'm seeing as stock sizes. If the...
100%. Nothing is more infuriating than a leak! That's a victory.
Before you pull em completely, make sure that the throttle cable isn't binding up and not allowing it to go all the way closed. You've got...
86 you're gravity-fed. No fuel pump. If choke is hurting it, it's possible you have the idle set Wayyyyyyyy to high. I did that exact thing when...
A little bit of Red Kote should fix it right up.
Looking clean man! I don't think removing the breather/collector is going to make too much of a difference--but that's a guess I can't...
Not a bad idea. I'll shoot him an email and see if he can use it for anything. Thanks Phil.
Lmao, this was the exact moment I went back to the eBay posting to double check what year harness I bought. I'm staring at the 87 harness trying...

Thanks for the information Phil. That explanation makes sense. I'm reading through some of the really long threads here about R/R and stator...
I think I'll be messaging you about those carbs in the next few days. I wanted to make sure this was a project I really wanted to get into first....
Just out of curiosity and because the 700 is about thirteen times easier to hook up the throttle linkage than the 500... I dropped in the...
I have a Knipex plumber adjustable flat wrench that I used to try to straighten it. I can snap a pic tomorrow. It looks better but certainly not...
A question I've thought about before but never asked and have been unable to find an answer to.. how high of a fuel column do you need to test...
Phil, I tested out both diodes (and also my VF500F one which is the same), and found everything you said would happen is exactly what happened....
Thank you for the explanation Phil. I guess I've got a couple bad diodes. I'll try messing around with them later this week to figure out if the...
On the float height--yep, agreed. I was just curious. I spun a Q-Tip through the float valve again and cleaned up the valve tip (quickly), but...
