Nice bike. Nice score. Sweet.
Clutch rumble / knocking is normal (99.9% of the time). I'd be more concerned if it didn't have it. There's a lot of gears and parts in there...
2 things: A: You don't need new carbs. Everything is easily defeated. I just did it to my 92 (plus about 6 other VFRs, mine and friends) II:...
OOhhhhh... the cable holder on the carbs?! I get it now. Glad you're starting to get it sorted. What size pilot jets are in it?
After you remove the cables from the carbs, remove the handlebar with the switch and cables. Then you can flip it upside down on the bench and...
If it's starting, idling and coming off idle.... It's not the pilots. That's what they do.
Too many possibilities to say with any certainty, but... If you've never done it, or have knowledge of it being done properly in the last decade...
You can always shorten a chain and have the ability to fine tune where you want your rear axle. Just remember, regardless of how "heavy duty" a...
That's absolutely what I have been doing for years on items that have been in my service. But since I was going thru the motions and the...
Well, brake rebuilding time... oh goodie. Bleh. I had to get out the special tool. [ATTACH] Shadow 1100 master cylinder I keep primed and...
Also, the front of the air box where it meets the plenum doesn't have any screws in the middle of that front edge. I've had one very warped there...
Yeah. When full "choke" makes it better, you are likely getting excess air somewhere. Do a spray test for sure.
Are you trying to run with the air box off? Also, new carb insulators?
Get your slave off and apart. Might need just a seal (usually), but the piston could be toast from moisture in the fluid. "Casting blowouts"...
Time to man up and rebuild your clutch system. You should probably bleed your brakes too.
Classic. Welcome.
I'll be screaming and cursing in the shop and Sarah will come down to see WTF is going on. She sees that I have a caliper or master cylinder in...
I will say, I AM GETTING SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF REBUILDING / RESTORING BRAKE SYSTEMS! God, I hate brake fluid.
Still holding out you tease. But I do think I know what it is.
Carb vent, connects to nothing. Stays open, pointing down, vented to atmosphere. There is usually a small bracket held by a screw on the...
