those wheels were off an early 80's CB400f sport or super sport or something. I'm pretty sure they were stock. The rotor came with the wheel, and is the same as mine. Axles also matched up quite well, only problem I had was the speedometer piece on the front axle was on the wrong side for some...

I've not only overlooked the kill switch when starting the bike, but also while riding at 45 mph+ I went to adjust my speedometer and accidentally rubbed my arm over the kill switch. luckily I rolled to the next street, and spent 20 minutes finding out what happened.... ::)

goodbye license forever! hello debt forever! I really do wonder though what the punishment will be. this guy is quite the idiot, not for going fast, but for lane splitting at over a hunder mph. if someone switched lanes he's dead and everyone around hims in a pile up....

could it be a restriction from the air filter? too crudded up or something? When I had this problem on my bike I took out the fuel filter and reset the float height. but my bike also would spew gas randomly like an a-hole so i knew it was a float height problem. took the filter off because it...

did you make sure that you set the drill to reverse, or counter clockwise? unlike the regular motion for a drill, which is clockwise. that way it can grab on. and maybe try to use a smaller drill bit to start the hole before using the easy out.

Its been a while since my last post... because I've been riding so much ;D here's the updates: made a dimecity order, and they came through with some beautiful stuff. including some shorty mufflers which sound great for the money. I also ordered up some rearsets, threw em on the...

Cool documentary. I hope I can ride till the day I die

thanks maritime! tonight ill pull the bowl and check to see if the float slides. if it does ill make sure it cant go side to side and ill also make sure its not catching on the o ring.

raised float height. rode great! for a week.... now its back to where its started... ? leaking gas out of overflow again when i have it idling with petcock in on. for a week it idled perfect with petcock in on position and no gas overflow. but now its back. any guess on what the problem is...

Still haven't had time to pop the carbs off and take a look. also need to look up how to properly measure the height... but besides that, could the problem be that they weren't synced while on the bike? I benched synced them but never tuned them while on the bike. Have to get around to that. but...

lol... gotcha

that would cause idle problems and overflow problems?

like maybe they're getting stuck?

Thanks I'll look into it. that might be the last thing i check after compression and a carb reclean but its good to know other possible causes.

and thanks i appreciate the replys guys
