Your right hillsy! I can't find a shop that will touch it tho. I just moved to Fredericksburg, and so far the moto community has been a mixed bag of douches. Everyone turns their noses up. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Only a couple problems I have with that: 1. I don't want it to go bad. I want as much life as possible 2. Tuning the carbs are pain in the ass, especially when the valves are off. You know they are off at 20,000 miles... Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

And now I will definitely NOT be shimming my valves. Even though they probably need it. Depressing saga Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Hopefully this filter will do the trick. I may still pull the carbs one more time. I'm thinking about bumping my mains up one more. I'm right on the edge of perfect. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

The screen is brand new, so it's clear. I've got a high flow filter on the way, but I'm waiting for it. Your totally right. I've been chasing my tail all over the place. Pulled the carbs 5 times. It is causing havoc, but I've got it to a minimum. I can tell when some partial comes through, or...

Topped off my tire pressure today and hit some turns. The bike did, over all, good. I went from sea level to 4,000 feet with minimal problems (I was expecting problems), and thoroughly enjoyed myself I did get a little bit of an idle issue on the way back home. The idle adjustment screw didn't...

I figured it out. The relay is bad tho. You were right Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I've been wanting to replace the cracked hand controls anyway, they are kind of pricey and other things needed addressing first. On a positive note, the more I learn about it the easier it gets. I'm sensing a happier bike every day Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

The flashers just have a power and a ground wire. I'm pretty sure I hooked them up correctly. Buuuut they didn't turn on. One of the POs have been in here doing some wiring. I'm assuming for lights on their touring racks. The relay has two plugs that are connected then a green wire that comes...

Anyone know how to wire the rear blinkers. Bought a set of two wire blinkers, and for the life of me I can't get them to work. Something isn't right Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I'm sure it's running lean with the baffles off. Definitely get some pipes/mufflers. Check all the electrical/charging system. Before you even think about pods, you should think about a different set of carbs. The keihin carbs are particularly sensitive in every way Sent from my iPhone using...

It was definitely the clutch. I made a slight adjustment on the cable, and it fired first try. Took her for a long ride today. A little chilly, but I didn't mind. It was just good to be on the road Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

It took a while to get it fired up, but she was running like a champ. Pretty sure the choke is out of adjustment again, but I may be wrong. I have a hard time believing it would run that good if it were more serious, but maybe I'm wrong.... It was cold and pouring but I just couldn't stop...

May have spoke too soon. Hard starting today.... Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I haven't put a gauge on it yet to check the compression. It fires right up, and only has 20,000 miles on it so I assumed it was passable. The plan was to ride it this summer then break it apart this winter, so good enough will work for now. I've been looking into the mikuni setup. I'm really...

Pretty sure mine are pressed in. I could be wrong. I haven't tried to get in after them Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

If you were going to do the rings anyway, no need really. You might as well since your already in there Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

My accelerator pump was definitely busted. I changed it out. I haven't broken the carbs all the way apart, separating the banks, so I haven't changed the air cut offs, but I do have the replacements. I think stock is 68/102, and 68/100 was on the bike when I bought it. I jetted to 68/105, and...

That's good stuff crazypj. Thanks man. I took it on a 100 mile ride today. It ran pretty good. Not perfect, but acceptable. It fired right up, but sputtered for about 10-15 minutes. Took me a good 20-25 minutes to get it warmed up. Once I got it down the road a way, it idled ok. Would sometimes...
