I see you're from australia, by the look of those pics. ;)

So I finally got all the parts to overhaul the carbs in last night and set out to do the final nitty gritty cleaning/polishing and reassembly on them when I ran into a snag. I'm trying to get to the butterfly shaft seals on the carbs, but I can't figure out how to disassemble the shaft. The...

Thanks for all the info guys. Blakester, that link has been recommended to me at least 10 times by now, but I appreciate you sharing it. Its good stuff and hopefully anyone else working on a XS triple looking through this thread will find it. That whole forum is chock full of valuable...

Thanks for all the information guys. I'll be sure to take a solid look at the electrical on the bike. I really appreciate all the guidance. I'm going to look at it this weekend, if its all on the level you might see a build thread out of me within the next week or so. If so, Juggs, I might be...

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first time posting. I first want to give big props to all of you for all of the awesome work you do, both with your bikes and helping others. You rock. Seriously. I recently got into riding, and while I already have a bike ('11 Kawi...
