Man, a lot of people aren't liking you much right now, lol. I say the voice in your head is worth listening too. Do it the thorough way. Go over...
...and I suggest you do the bench sync as Dukiedook suggests: align the valves with the small holes. One carb does not change. You need to adjust...
The caps are drilled out: someone did that because they wanted to adjust away from the factory setting, so chances are that they are. Your...
Yep, need a picture to see exactly which one you are talking about, but it sounds like the vent hose that goes nowhere. Also, this is for your 86...
Congrats! Let us know how it runs, etc.
FYI re float bowl gaskets: If it the same situation as the 500 Honda dealers can only get the float gasket as a full-carb gasket set with all the...
Unfortunately, the guy who bought my bike found storage room for my stockpile and took everything that I had in view. I had some stuff put aside...
Man, I feel for you. Moved up from the frustrations of the 500 and the troubles are following you. I agree that something was not right with the...
Money, space and wife. Insurance on the two plus payments on the 919 would have put me higher than I was able to negotiate with my wife. If I did...

Dantyau - How about an update?
Well, I guess that this thread is useless. Who has a bike that old? Ooops, haha. Strange that the source thread had several people chime in about...
Check this out! All these years working on bikes and I never knew this. ....One thing to note when you replace that screw: it's not exactly a...
Looking at the second last picture of the 919 I am beginning to really dislike the rear fender area. I might need to clean that up.
That would have been one of our province's premiers, kinda like your state governors (although we don't have Arnold!). I heard about that, but...
It doesn't look right for the 500. The mount hole in the middle doesn't correspond with any mounting point on the bike, it doesn't utilize the...
I ended up using an equivalent product called Plastex and it worked well. I molded and made two tabs with it. I think with more practice I could...
Congrats! Great news. Re. the ZX9. The C2 and others had notorious carb issues that you can read all over the web. It seems that a common fix is...
