i recently tried a $30 chinese r/r from amazon on my vtr250 :deadhorse: r/r failed after just 65 miles !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :toiletclaw: are these...
nice work, but the sensor on the front head picks up cam position, not speed. tape up/cover those intake holes.
using full choke--if the carbs are properly adjusted and clean--may be too much and flood the plugs if you crank too long. suggest you try with...
yes and yes. does your choke work ?
make sure the idle speed adjustment screw is set properly for easiest starting. back the screw off until you sense the butterflies are fully...
i think there may be a different reason your 500 won't start, not related to pilot screws or partly-clogged jets. on any newly-acquired old bike...
another item that needs wire-probing in some cases is the side holes on the mainjet holder tubes.
the best way to make certain an idle jet is fully clear is to pass a steel wire through it. (0.010") soaking and compressed air are only the...

just keep riding and pretend the bike isn't too tall for you, the longer you ride your bike the smaller it feels. 10mm is the most you could...
it's possible to grind down a socket if you have the tools and skills.
lowering (raising forks) more than 10mm isn't recommended by suspension experts. at 1" you're gonna bottom out dangerously.
u shoudda tried amazon first, and i've seen those tools for less than $10. of course it's not necessary to just change plates....
not at all likely. pump is rated at 3 psi.
^^ first thing to try is bypassing the fuel pump RELAY.
sensing pressure, the pump shuts itself off when the carbs are full or outlet hose is blocked.
in no way do i seek to undermine best practices, but i've used JBWeld on radiators with no failures so far.
