Well I've confirmed, the bike is running on 3 cylinders. One coil is bad, right front (can't remember which cylinder that is), but i put one of...
I've actually been riding the bike a ton and I really like it, I'm just getting crap gas mileage and sometimes when i'm parking it in the parking...
I suppose so, but the point is all the maintenance stuff would be done prior...
So I'm thinking about selling or trading my '86 700. I love the bike but I'd really like to get something smaller/more nimble as I do a fair...
No, haven't had time to tear into it yet. I'm pretty sure the car has been in colorado for a while, and I don't think the clutch is slipping, I'd...
On the flats. My problem I think is that the bike feels slow compared to other vehicles, I get outrun by 200 horsepower volkswagens...
So as I've gotten more comfortable on my bike i'm suspecting more and more that it's hardly making any power... I see specs online that say the...

Damn... I want a blue '87
I totally agree, but I just kind of need the battery to last till I'm out of school for summer and I can work more. I can't afford to do the R/R...
Found what seems to be a decent quality AGM battery for $31 shipped. :cool: Anyone have a good R/R for sale? Nothing like trying to support...

Well here's for hoping the battery is still ok... I think i'll just buy a good used regulator until I get paid, then I'll grab a new one and keep...
Well the battery tested fine, I left it at the dealer overnight to charge it fully and load test it. Voltage at the battery posts with the bike...
Good to know, thanks!
I'm gonna have the battery tested tomorrow, all the shops were closed today. I'll go through the bike with a multimeter tomorrow as well. It did...
So my 700 keeps dying while stopped, after I get it started the instrument lights get steadily dimmer and eventually the blinkers won't even turn...
Yeah, I work in a german auto shop, just haven't had time to do much. Only pulled one plug so far, it was pretty dark. Are the mixture screws the...
Alright, well i'll probably finish the basic tune up and do the carb work, thanks for the response!
I haven't tested compression, I suppose I should though. I've never actually ridden a faster bike, which is why I feel like a 700 should feel fast...
