Hey all…daughter dropped this off last night…minus a few parts that she said I’d still in a shed lol. It’s a bit crusty but I’ve seen worse…hope the internals are good, she wants it but doesn’t want a money pit.. Probably not the fastest project but having a thread may help motivate me…as...

Alrighty….like I needed another project, but these are fun and I miss the old one. Pretty sure I mentioned it….I don’t get along with electronics even more than I do carburetors, so I’ll be asking for help! Has spark but won’t fire at all, not even a pop with fuel directly into plug hole...

Hey, everyone likes pics so here’s some! Just got it today. Low miles, needs tires as they are old, front brake is sticking, carb gone through, and the plastic has a break in it at the rear of seat. Tank has a couple small dents but not terrible. Chrome has some rust, the chain guard is the...

Figured why not, pretty much free from daughter...head gasket issue, typical... Should be just like a gl1000 right lol... Got as far as unhooking everything...I think...tomorrow I go borrow my buddies engine stand and chainfall, I'm sure I'll need more gaskets than the head so out comes the...

Hey all, I want to quiet these down a bit....they sound good but I dont like drawing attention. They are 4into1 pipe...nothing in there at all. Is there a good read on quieting exhaust, or anyone got any thought on what I could do? Thanks..

1974 sohc...It's pretty close I think, I'm deaf so maybe not...and I suck at troubleshooting carbs in general. Right now they are on the bench, choke plate are way out of spec, havent cleaned them yet. Elec ignition so that's good, will be adjusting valves,etc... Problem is pods...eventually...

Just picked it up from a buddy, title is in a safe until next week so I can't verify the year, he said 78. If I read the engine vin chart right it's a 74 motor, I could be wrong though. I could not find a typical tag on the frame, I was looking for one similar to the gl1000. It's got some cheap...

Hey everyone, Got a non working 80? Gallon from a buddy, it's missing some pieces, I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out what it needs to be operational again. I've never worked on one before so I dont know what things are called so bear with me..... It's missing on the motor in 2...

I use my android phone for everything. While looking at chat, I can type in the box to chat but cant find a send, enter, submit, whatever it's called button. Is it me or my phone? Thanks....

First off....my brain is not quick with electronic systems...I've got basic circuits ok...but throw in capacitors, diodes, etc...and I'm lost. I have to have pictures in front of me...I'm visual. Ok...I'm trying to lighten and hide stuff on my gl1000...I dont know what to call it cuz I hate...

Has been a while for this one. Carb issues last year? Then it sat after I painted the motor. Finally pulled it out and cut some frame off. Kinda torn on which direction to go....hardtail or not? Am thinning and lowering the frame at the shocks, trying to make better looking triangle. Once...

I rebuilt it, it was fine, traded bike. 1 year later the new owner blew air into carbs to "clean it out" now it leaks alot according to hin. I'm getting it back tonite (woo hoo!) But what could have been damaged and could crap have been blown into motor? Obviously I have to pull and clean buy...

After I pulled my son's trx250 motor it started leaking oil at the left side crankcase gasket. Does anyone know why that could happen. We just rebuilt it and reinstalled it when I noticed the clutch bushing put aside on the bench. All was torqued to the manuals specks. I'm guessing I need new...

Why does a motor need to be warm and running to adjust the cam chain? I've been battling my 79 xr500s chain adjustment while warm and in the bike. I've followed the manuals recommendations and it didn't work....4 times..i even tapped lightly. So being frustrated I pulled the motor and the head...

That's it pretty much, I can do everything else, but I can't access my photos anymore. I hit the picture icon, go to attachments and other options, hit browse, and it does nothing. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks much.

Yup....lowered bars now my brake lever won't rotate down. Looking for a decent priced replacement. Never shopped for one before so kinda lost on what to look for....thanks

Sorry if this should be posted somewhere else....I missed it if there was. Anyone fimiliar with this brand? Cast iron and cheap. I know...I should save up for a quincy...not gonna happen though ha ha ha. Thanks http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MKP5K6?tag=mcaveman-20

Kinda think it would fun, curious to see what you all think a good 1st two stroke Roady would be. I like smaller bikes, but don't want to scream at cruising speed, and I also don't canyon carve as I have no canyons lol

1 out 4 have the baffle....is this an I can purchase, make, cover completely? Thanks

here it is...not sexy at all. Got it for $50.00....spark on 1&4, no spark on 2&3, needs an igniter I think. This is my first kawasaki....any words of wisdom? I'm thinking just a quick and easy cafe Ish and resell...I really want a cool single cylinder to build. Thoughts and pics of cool builds...
