    CB175 only idles if Idleadjustment screws are full in

    So I have a cb175 that will only idle at ~2000rpm if I have both idle adjustment screws on the carbs dialed all the way in. With both all the way in, the idle is stable at 2000rpm, but if I back either side out, or both sides out just a little and it'll die pretty quick (within 15 secs). Can...

    I've got a bike that has a turn signal switch on the handle bars, and new LED turn signals on each corner, but nothing in between. I've picked up a 3 prong EP35 flasher, which should be able to handle the LED turn signals no problem. What I'm having a problem with is how to wire this all up...

    Tips/ideas/help for fabricating shift lever

    So, this is sort of a weird non-cafe type question, but I know there are a lot of hardcore builders on here. I'm working on an engine swap (KX125 into Aprilia RS50 frame) and the 2 stroke engine is pretty narrow compared to the frame. I need to extend the transmission lever straight out from...

    So I've noticed that when its hot out and my CB350F gets nice and hot such as sitting at a light, it will start to puff some smoke out the breather vent on the valve cover. Is this normal? What would cause this? Blow by on the rings or? Thanks Stephen

    So I'm doing a head gasket on my CB350T, tore down the top end easy enough, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to setup the timing chain. First of all, the manual never states when to re-install the chain tensioner, at what point does this need to go back on? After I've got the...

    Recently picked up a 72 CB350 and want to lower it ~2 inches. I assume for the rear I can just purchase some slightly shorter shocks, but was a little stumped with the front. The tops of the shocks bolt to the upper triple tree, so I cant just slip the shocks up to lower it. Any ideas? I've...

    Where can you buy jets for CB175 Carbs?

    All the OEM sites I've found just show 'out of stock' for the jets. I think I need to go one size larger then stock on the main jet. Where do you guys buy em? Thanks! Stephen

    So I'm in the process of rebuilding (new pistons + rings) a CB175 engine, but I'm stuck on re-installing the timing chain. The manual says: "Align the 'T' timing mark on the generator to the timing index mark." So finding the T timing mark on the generator is easy enough, but I have no idea...
