Yeah... don't take your hands off the bars under hard deceleration downhill. ;-)) Seriously, it can happen due to many different variables: tire...
Did you do a plug chop - or just park the bike and remove the plugs? A plug chop will show the condition of the mixture at the throttle position...
Don't forget to ensure the black rubber o-ring is not stuck on the block. Had a neighbor who forgot to do this and when he started up he had a...
When it stumbles, kill the bike and pull the plugs. They should show the status of the gas mixture. We are getting close. Now it's down to...
Once the bike is warmed up, turn the choke off. Once warm the bike doesn't like the choke, it makes the mixture too rich and will "choke" the...
Yes it is the same. But I believe the washer shims will affect it more - I am not sure. I put the washer shims in my V45 Magna and it did help...
Just glad I could help...
I completely agree. The majority of backpressure is from the common collector under the bike. Unless you replace this, a slip-on will have...
Actually, a stage 1 jet kit can possibly hurt your performance by making the bike too rich. I suggest getting your bike in a running - highly...
You only need to rejet if you change both the air filter and the full exhaust sytem. Otherwise stick with stock.
Put the bike on the centerstand, put it in high gear and see if you can turn over the engine by turning the rear wheel. This will tell you if the...
You are 100% correct. You have too rich a mixture at idle if the bike will start and idle when cold. Of course if it's hot outside, it may start...
The fuel will flow as long as the end of the hose is below -->> the level in the tank. And if the hose is connected to the carbs, it is always...
An electronic relay is used so a low voltage "trigger" signal can enable a large electrical load on another wire to power a device. IIRC, the...
If you're light like me, you have to put all of your weight on the centerstand and still push/pull HARD. Hurts my feet if I'm wearing sneakers....
Just read that if you use gravity feed, you may have to remove the fuel filter as it will restrict the flow too much. Try it without - verify it...
With the choke on, the bike should idle somewhere around 2K. Once the bike heats up, the mixture becomes too rich and the idle will start to come...
I've been wanting to get these for my bike - since it has those funky non-removable Honda bar ends....
Leaking float valve needle. The rubber tips get a permanent groove in them and then won't seal. See if your oil smells like gas...
Look to see if some linkage is installed on the wrong bank of carbs or maybe they are bent - it happens. You need to get this fixed before you...
