    Timing chain installation for CB450 - K1

    Well.....my childhood nickname was Tiger; my spirit animal is the tiger; StreetWolf just sounds to pretentious; one of my cats sits on the sidewalk eyeballing whatever goes by as potential dinner; self-deprecating humour is the best. Yes, I said spirit animal.... And then there's the ladies. :P NE

    Do I need a petcock???

    Suspect ignition problem!

    I see it's got pods and pipes with no silencers. Have the main jets been upped a bit? Guess your at altitude, so upping the jets may result in a rich condition. Will the bike not run beyond 4500rpm? Just bogs down? Or does it just quit working? Meaning, can it actually rev to 8000rpm with no...

    Suspect ignition problem!

    I've got one of them and am very experienced with the points system. So, stock carbs, aftermarket silencers? What sort of tools do you have? You need at least the basic stuff plus a voltmeter with continuity tester. And a manual? Let's nail down the symptoms first. High RPM misfire.....what RPM...

    VINTAGE LEATHER JACKETS:

    Ah, heck, I ain't hatin' on them hipsters. They're just following the crowd. Poor bastards. But no brakes and no toeclips, c'mon. I usually ride my singlespeed as a fixie in the winter, for better traction control and winter leg strength. But, admittedly, I didn't this year. I have a pernicious...

    how to completely drain a tank

    ahh- I thought you were gonna mix them all together. ??? I've used ATF to coat the tank interior for the flash rusting problem. Pardon the extensive list.....I was assuming the tank was really crusty. When I got my FZ600, the junk coming out of the tank was the nastiest cottage cheese from hell...
