WHat doesn't make sense about keeping at least one hand on the bars when the bike's moving ????
Chocolate Lad's info is A-OK. If needed you caN JUST REMOVE CARBS and use the advice above to align all the throttle plates. In prACTICE, IF THE...
Could also be a low coolant level. Dija check under the radiator cap when the bike is cool ?? It should be right up to the top.
I'd suspect a synch problem or a damaged mounting boot that's letting in air.
Since the cooler is mounted at the highest point of the lube system, no draining would be needed, and only a minimal amount would trickle out.
Hundreds have done it. It's very easy, just tap into the wire on the rad, place a switch on the wire, and route the other side to a ground. You...
You don't mean the voltage regulator/rectifier ?? That has 3 diodes and has nothing to do with the neutral light or the starter lockout circuitry.
Riding no hands is not what these bikes were designed for and is a foolish risk to take. 4th gens do the same thing. It seems that things were...
It's an indication of a bad diode, not usually called a rectifier.
FSM should show the exact location.
As i've seen a few times, there are non-OEM mounts on the market now that don't have the "CARB" slot but seem to work OK.
You need to run a compression test on that engine and inspect the cams for wear or damage before getting too excited about riding that bike. Also...
Going off-road with an engine that heavy doesn't seem like fun.
By mouth, you can blow air into the input side but can't blow into the output side.--
i think what Norm means is that it's better to find an OEM salvage yard starter than to buy a cheap replacement from China, and i agree.
If the brake pads have any traces of fork oil it's best to scrap them, and you'll need to clean the discs with lacquer thinner on a rag too....
Rubber cone type compression tester probably won't fit down the plug hole..........unless you remove the cam cover (very easy except finessing it...
Trying to fix one problem, you're going to cause another. ALL floats MUST be set the same, that is, 9mm with no changes !! Setting at 11mm will...
It's always best to bleed the master separately at its banjo bolt before bleeding at the slave if the master has been disconnected....
let us know what you find. bent rod is unlikely unless it dropped a valve...........but in that case the engine would lock up.
Separate names with a comma.
