No no, MC not the deciding factor. The aftermarket replacement I bought just doesn't feel as good to me. The stopping power is equivalent, but the...
:Fencing:internal struggle going on in my brain right now.. I really don't have much space left, but I'm going to be going through a buddy's 84/85...
Your trick about heating the intake boots with a hair dryer and using two small flathead screwdrivers to ease in the rear carburetors made this so...
Hah, I like "track pipe"--It was absolutely a blast. I've been going up there as a spectator for about 20 years now, but I've never actually been...
I'd be pretty defiant in my acceptance of a vacuum leak if I just paid the ridiculous prices on those '86 intake boots that are inexplicably like...
Squirrel and sixdog probably have it with one of those suggestions--however, another thing that may have caused this is if you turned one or more...
I picked up a 2001 SV650S in August and got myself to two track days this year since I was sick of living with the regret of having not done it...
Yea, the 16" front is pretty limited selection. I thought the selection was basically down to the Metzler and Bridgestone. That Kenda tread...
One thing with Simple Green (the standard one) is that it can be corrosive to aluminum in long exposure and/or high enough concentration. I've...
Hopefully it works out and is in better shape than the one you'd like to replace. This motor has followed me around for a few moves, and I'm not...
Makes sense. Thank you for the explanation on the cause of wear. After the wash and a quick steel wool wipe, they all feel pretty flat. Some look...
I'm in my bathroom huffing oil-based mildewcide paint, like I have been for the last 6 hours, but I'll go grab a better picture after I finish...
Alright, so I couldn't tell you what a good clutch looks like or what a worn clutch looks like... but this one looks good to my eye. I think the...
I've got a clutch basket on this exploded 86 engine I could pull apart and send to you if it looks alright. I need to finish painting the bathroom...
Post #320 in Jim's thread is where you'll find his in-depth review on the head gaskets. Page 16:...
That's actually a really good question. Mine started leaking like 10 years ago, and my dad cut a paper gasket. I actually just cut some new ones...
Hah, it was a track day. I'm a lonnnnggg way from racing. But I'm convinced that's the goal now after doing two days this month. I'm slowly dying...
Absolutely, which is why I'm not going to sweat it. I got super lucky it happened now. Yea, this one has ON/RES/OFF. Whenever I don't run it for...
I knew the vac-operated petcock was going to be a liability--just thought I'd be able to make it to winter before it becoming a problem. Luckily a...
I knew I needed glasses. Nothing wrong with the angle of the photo. Glad to hear it ran well though. My shock is toast as well. I'm planning on a...
