No prob. And just to be clear on something... that pic was off of the internet. #filthy #notCaptain80s
[IMG] I just told you... the spigot on the intake. See that philips screw in the intake of the head? One of the 4 locations (one for each...
Um... It needs to be connected to something that is creating a vacuum. One of the carb inlets on the head should have a spigot instead of a...
Do you have the vacuum line hooked up to the correct spigot on the petcock? The one on back is vacuum. The one off the middle is just a weep...
You got some work. My 86 is a 7000 mile example, it just happens to have the body work off right now. I got distracted last night re-assembling...
That appears to be the vent tube. It just vents to the atmosphere. My 86 has the bodywork off of it right now but I didn't have time to get to...
Jump the fuel cut relay on the harness side to eliminate that potential issue. You "should" then have power to the pump without having to crank...
Thank you for posting those. The shock looks great. I like your "working mock-up". I was not 100% happy with my rear caliper bracket/brake...
Thanks for the info! Is your U-shaped linkage piece cast or two plates welded to a collar? Cast = 86. Welded = 87. The gold colored crankcase...
Nice job! Would you please elaborate on the rear shock from Jamie? Stock shock re-worked? Also you say, "The rear end went together perfectly...
Don't own an 87 (few 86s), but I have a buddy with an 87. So what is the issue? 2 wire vs 3 wire? Which color is different/missing?
Yep. If you think it has enough material to be blasted, then have it ceramic coated. Pits be damned, it will be sealed anD look just fine....
I ran my racebike without any part of the charging system, including the stator. Battery powers everything. Pulse coils are on the starter...
In some rare instances, but never recommended. We used to run ME22s backwards on VTR250 rears. But you lose your optimal water dispersment from...
Um... no. Your bike doesn't have a 17" wheel, front or rear.
They are straight, but there is a top and a forward due to small reliefs in the molding on the carb side. At least there was. They might have...
Time to start dis-assembling, cleaning and inspecting.
Time to bleed the hydraulic clutch, if you can. You may have multiple issues in regards to that, but it's worth a shot. Just like bleeding...
Kenda makes a BT45 knock-off in a 130/70-18 (and a 110/70-16) that I'm gonna try just because they are so cheap. The Avon AM23/22 in those sizes...
You can go 120/80 no problem on that rim. Will not negatively affect the profile of the tire or the handling.
