If you have the bike in neutral, you can quickly rule out and binding there. If it's spinning the inner clutch but not the basket, then your clutch cables are adjusted too tight. If it's spinning the inner and outer clutch basket, then you have a seized piston or problem with the valve train. If...

I wouldn't really like the complete kit, but I'd rather be able to buy the components individually. It's something I've thought about quite a bit, and I and planning on using MegaSquirt on my Karmann Ghia when it's ready.

The procedure for setting the idle speed and adjustment screws as described in the shop manual are to set the mixture screws at their default (probably something like 1 1/4 turns from all the way in), then set the idle so that the back pressure in both pipes is the same. This might be hard on...

Normally, I'd say that it's not the charging system, but if you're not getting around 13-14V across the battery terminals revving above 3000 rpm, then it could be. Was the battery fully charged? Do your lights flicker? To rule out other things, make sure your bike is in proper tune first...

Isn't that a CB tank? I didn't think the CL ever had knee pads. I'm pretty sure it just had the single stripe like

Are scooters treated differently? Scooters are booming here, but as long as they are over 50cc, they fall under the same regulations as motorcycles.

I can't even imagine. In Washington State, motorcyclists aren't even required to have insurance. We have decent training, subsidized to $100 for the beginning motorcyle course by motorcycle licensing fees which are $25 every 5 years. You can still legally ride a 1000cc superbike after testing on...

And when the battery dies? Maybe a better question to ask is, what do you want to remove? The bare minimum to run is: coils condensers points Alternator rectifier regulator battery a switch to cut off power The only extras on a CB350 are the lights, starter and starter solenoid, horn and the...

Soda blasting will clean that up and make it look like new. Simple green works pretty well as a degreaser, but will discolor like you experienced.

If it bottoms out against the triple clamps, then a longer fork tube will work, but if it bottoms out before hitting the triple clamps (more likely), you'll need to swap for something with more travel.

Here's another angle. This is why I can punch it through, or drill through the frame (not to mention that drilling through the frame would be an idiot thing on par with braking a tap off in there in the first place). You guys have given me some good ideas. I'm going to try the freezing thing...

I don't want to give her too much shit because I think she already feels bad. Her excuse was that I was out of town. It's seriously a $600 bike, and she paid $1800 for it. It's missing parts, the clutch was messed up (fixed that last night just before discovering the broken tap), and the frame...

I'm about to hunt down and beat the shit out of the POS who sold my friend this CB350. She didn't know what she was looking at, other than it was a running CB350, and got seriously ripped off. We'll it ran just long enough for her to get it home. For the price she paid, I would expect a decent...

Your tank cover don't look bad from there. You didn't find new ones did you? I've never seen NOS tank covers for the early CA95.

They are bigger than .25, but he said that they are drilled for .25 nipples.
