I realize I never updated this post with the solution. Actually, the problem was with the HT ignition coil. When a crack occurs in the circuit, low revs will have a hard time but high revs less as the high voltage will arc and pass through. Checking resistance on the coil will reveal that the...

Thanks a lot - I will reclean again tonight to make sure all thoroughly clean! I haven't change anything lately to justify rejetting. The only fuel filter is at the petcock - I haven't check it out - I will - but why would I be running ok above 3000 RPM?

Hi all Bonneville T100 2004 since a week about, engine has been having difficulties at revs under 3000. It performs better if choke is on. Symptoms: Engine is stopping sometimes at idle Some backfires Seems to skip fire at times It's really like it's too lean. I checked spark plugs and...

Hi everyone Changed inverter/rectifier, charge voltage 13,1V - beside stator, anything else could be involved? Thanks

Awesome! Thanks guys! It's not a washer but a rubber O-Ring that goes around the plug. Ordered it - it should resolve my leakage. And yes, the alternator cover prevents from pulling back. :-)

after further research, I don't believe it to be the neutral indicator switch. See where it is -no wiring attached to it. when I google neutral indicator switch for CB650, nothing comes up that looks like this :-/ bizarre nothing is mentioned about it anywhere, not even in the maintenance...

Thanks! That’s what I thought. I already changed almost all the gasket on the engine. I do have that o-ring in the kit. When replacing it, should I put the engine in gear or in any case engine oil will pour out? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Oh thank you! Oil shouldn't be leaking from it, right? Cheers

Hello! I had some leakage from the alternator and after cleaning everything, I saw some leakage coming from this part (see pic) - I pulled on it and oil started pouring out.... What is this for?

Amazing work!

Trying to find molybdenum disulfide grease for valve stems All I found at Canadian Tire is this https://m.canadiantire.ca/products/productDetail/0280851P/ Can this work? Thanks Joffrey Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Guys, I was told to try Pine Soil to remove carbs. Cheap stuff and, above all, no toxic fumes. Here are the results! I think it's pretty amazing! It took about 2hrs per piston to clean them thoroughly.

It did work just by twisting hard enough thanks a lot!

Oh! Thanks! I was hesitating, afraid to break it. Will try it tonight!
