Can't go wrong with regular, 1/4" fuel hose from the local auto supply store. If you're looking for something more stylish, there's always clear fuel line , in a variety of colours (I use blue). https://fortnine.ca/en/moose-3ft-fuel-line Just as an example

The valvetrain is unlikely to cause lean issues. If its not carb adjustment from reassembly time, then it'll (most likely) be an air leak. Check those carb manifolds and their o-rings: they are your most likely (and cheapest) cause on these bikes. Make sure the carb mounting clamps are tight and...

Stock length in the F is 14". Either way, you're right: that's a pretty extreme alteration

If you've got the extra scratch, I'd go for the US cleaner. I just had a thought at work today: the carb manifolds on the gr have rubber to mount the carbs, bonded to a metal base that gets sealed to the head with o-rings. The rubber can separate from the steel and the o-rings can crack, which...

Nah, it's only 34MB. Besides, I can always delete it if I part/sell my Tempter.

Kolby, the link I posted in my last reply has the repair manual from Suzuki. It's free. (I just verified That my link works and now I have the manual on my phone lol)

Glad you made it back! She sounds beautiful, Jim; nice stuff!

Also check the little air induction tubes that run from the bottom of the carbs to the intake ports Here's a link to the Factory Suzuki Service Manual in .PDF format...

Hey Kolby. Nice to meet you Use brake cleaner to check for ait leaks around the carb boots. You may have a lean condition caused by leaky insulators or insulator o-rings. Other items on the list would be torn diaphragms, possibly maladjusted idle screws. Are your float heights ok? Is the...

Make sure tour brake switches are not applied. I had a similar problem when I used a larger-than-spec battery for my cb. Turns out the battery was shorter (height) and significantly longer than stock, and it was pressing on the rear brake switch, causing the light to be on. A 1/2" spacer under...

Nice machine GroupB, welcome to DTT! That is a real pretty 750 you have! There's lots of info here on these bikes; if you need any info, just ask! *** unsolicited advice follows *** A good starting point is to take apart every connector, clean it so it's shiny and put it back together. Make...

Too bad about your crash. Glad to hear you're alright! Nice looking bike and good on the seller for looking out for your misfortune with his f-ed up machine.

+1. The cb is true vintage, to be sure, but with that comes the extra work of keeping an old bike running. Having fuel injection and being built in the last decade make the Enfield the better choice for daily, or even just weekly, riding. Having the history behind the R.E adds to points in its...

Stellar work sir; nicely done! To adjust your clutch system, first slack off the adjuster at the handle. Then loosen the cable where it goes into the housing arm and disconnect it. Remove the adjuster cap (the big honkin' slotted screw on the clutch cover) and back off the 12mm locknut. Turn...

Real McKenzies put on a hell of a show! Saw them with Rev. Horton Heat a couple years ago.

Hello again Chris, and welcome! I love the Tempter (but FIL gifted me a DOHC cb750 so progress halted). There are a few good GR builds on here, lots of knowledge too. I though mentioned it previously, but I have the FSM in .pdf format on one of my old laptops. PM me your email and I'll try and...

I know where Midland is! Welcome to DTT Chris, from Kitchener (about an hour west of Toronto). Swing on over to the Introduction section and introduce yourself.

A terrifying experience indeed! A major plus when your ignition coils are directly in the splatter zone above/behind your front wheel! Seriously though, yeah it's that bad. Enough so, that you need the fender to pass safety here in Ontario. If you really like the look of no fender, drilling...

Me and my Bean. One day, the background will be Meltdown, Mid-O or Barber. Until then I'll just live the life vicariously through you guys!

Welcome to DTT Bellamy, from Ontario, Canada! That sure is a sweet-looking cb! If I could make one suggestion, I'd tell you to add a front fender, or some other kind of fork reinforcement. Riding, and especially cornering, will be vastly improved and much safer if your front end isn't...
