    CB650C valve noise

    Hello guys, I've got a 1980 CB650C with a 4-1 aftermarket exhaust and stock air box on it. Throughout the process of tuning the bike I've had to readjust the valves a number of times. It seems that every time, the valves are initially quite, but then very quickly get noisy again. I've tried...

    Airbox vs Pods vs Velocity Stacks

    Hey guys, This is an age old question that plagues the lives of cafe builders, but I think we need to put this discrepancy to rest once and for all. I have searched everywhere and gotten fairly general, but conflicting information on this topic. Here's what I "know" about this: Airbox: If you...

    CT Mechanics

    What's good fellow DTTer's? I live in the Hartford/Bloomfield area and I'm pretty big on modding, customizing and repairing my motorcycle. I'm looking for other cool peeps that want to share some knowledge and trade skills, maybe even have a few brewskis as we work on our bikes. I've got a...

    Acewell 2853 setup

    Broken tank bolt

    So the other day I tried taking my tank bolt off and it just spun freely without actually coming out. Upon further inspection, it appears there's a nut of some kind that rests inside the frame of the bike. It doesn't appear that it was ever welded in place. If you ask me, it looks like a...

    CB650 gas tank bolt

    The dumbest shit just happened to me on my bike. I went to undo the gas tank bolt that holds it to the frame and the damn thing just spun endlessly. I even tried using my impact drill and it just spins. I decided to hack the top of the bolt off and see what was wrong. Apparently, in the assembly...

    1980 CB650 Custom power issues

    Guys, I was working on my bike the other day doing basic maintenance/tuning and then come to find out that I have very little power, my bike sputters constantly and the acceleration is entirely flat, especially after 1/.4 throttle. It bogs like it's running a bad air/fuel ratio. Please I need...

    CB650C Pod Filters

    After lots and lots of research, I have found somewhat little useful information on trying to run Emgo 48mm pod filters on a 1980 CB650 Custom with pressed slow jets. I've been tuning my carbs and currently I have 125 mains and stock slows, I think, I don't know how to measure them to get an...

    Press fit jets

    All, I have searched and searched and have yet to find any thread anywhere on press fit slow jets on an '80 CB650 Custom bike. I'm sure this has been beaten to death with discussion in the past, but I have never been able to get a clear, concise answer on this. I am about to do a carb tune...
