When I insPected it it didn't show fraud, if the miles are lower than previous inspection then it shoots a red flag, last time registered and inspected was 97 when the clutch started slipping and blew apart

well now that it runs much smoother than it has all summer id says its ready, i bought it needing a clutch with 7995 miles on it, sat since 97. clutch came with it, and ive put 800 miles on it so far. i bought a 350 dollar car and drove to florida. i have faith in the brands i pick :) that's why i g...

ya idk if ill be out that way, maybe if i drive to cali with it but prolly wont happen. and i only paid 750 for the bike too. pretty good deal given its condition and miles

I'm a mechanic and specialize in electrical so I always watch connectors, the grime build up in the jets was clogging them. Connections look brand new no corrosion and I use the grease on them all, thanks for the info tho, now to rewire my Yamaha sled that got chewed apart by rats!!

I looked at an exploded view of the carbs in the service manual and doesent look like there is one, coils were good. Bike does only have 8600 miles now

so i think i figured it out. pulled the carbs apart again and cleaned the crap out of them. almost all of them seemed to have nasty crud in the hole for the main jet that seemed like it was an o-ring that got eaten by gas? do these have o-rings where the jets go in? ive never seen carbs that did and...

In case it helPs I've been having this problem since I first got the bike, it has always had a weird idle, either at like 800 or 3000. I let the bike idle for about a minute and felt the exhaust pipes, cylinders 3 and 4 were kinda warm and cylinder 2 was hot as hell. Didn't test cylinder 1 because t...

so i went out and bought 4 new spark plugs, gaped at exactly 30, check every one for spark and they were all pretty strong. after installing it all cylinder 1-3 seem to rev up when i spray starting fluid into them and cylinder 4 bogs down. im going to clean the carbs again and see what it does. also...

ya thats what i did in the first place, resistance from the screw part and the part the plug goes into had infinite resistance (no beep) havent checked the other ends, but i did spray starting fluid in the cylinders and it seemed to bog/rev up on all 4 so im thinking carbs but doing more testing soon

By leads do you mean the wire from coil to the plug? I'm new to coils on bikes as I wrench on cars all day. I'm going to swap coils and see if the miss moves, if not Cdi box it is or new Plugs but we will see tomorrow

Yes infinite resistance(no beep) but after charging the battery it seemed to get spark, apatently the battery wasn't full. But it only runs on two cylinders, 2&3 don't change idle when unPlugged together but 1 or 4 kills it. Will swap coils and test carbs with starting fluid when I get out of work t...

ok everyone im having a problem with my bike, it randomly wouldn't start one day and i don't know why. i started tearing it apart and doing some testing on it and first thing ive found is none of my plug caps have any resistance in them. ive tested the DVOM i used and it does work. wont even work on...

found some 14volt 4.3 watt bulbs, old ones were 12volts and 1.7 watts does it hurt to use these ones?

i have no tach light or coolant temp gauge light, and some of my speedo light doesn't work, ive searched for about an hour and cant figure out what bulb to buy for this, also looking for a possible upgrade bulb? preferably blue

he said it was a quote he got if he removed the forks and brought them to a dealer to get done, the person they bought the bike off of had a spare set of forks and they ended up having them installed free i guess
