Thought it was an FZR600, but the frame is wrong. Could only find one image of a frame that matched that one, and it was on a project thread for a...
I've used evapo-rust on several tanks now. It contains a chelate that binds to iron oxide, but not iron. So as that agent gets used up, the...
Dude... What. The. Fuck. That just took me 15 minutes to seat the carbs using this method. 13 of those 15 minutes were heating up the boots with...
You know... I actually pulled the throttle off, but it wasn't immediately clear to me how to pull the cables off. So I put them back on and went...
Two steps forward, one step back. I'll actually be able to give the castrol red rubber grease a shot on the carb boots. I noticed that my throttle...

My money would be on winning that beer with the same pairing. I just want to be diligent before buttoning it back up and because I seemingly ran...
Actually, I think I'm running into the exact same question that user Invisible Cities had in a post from 2009....
Wait wait wait. There was good advice in there! I'm here to hear the experiences of people that know these bikes a hell of a lot better than I do....
Haven't found any animals preserved in amber yet, though I had my fingers crossed! Unfortunately all I found were more mistakes I've made--running...
Hooo boy. We had some tight valves at ~21,000 miles. We had tight valves, we had loose valves, and we had good valves. Whole spectrum. Nearly all...
Thanks again for the hacksaw blade suggestion--that worked better than anything I'd tried in the past. What a way to spend an afternoon, lol....
Alright. I'll be giving the gasket removing suggestions you guys gave a shot this weekend. Got my hacksaw blade, abrasive bits, and permatex...
