Bought a different carb kit on EBAY, had the carbs professionally rebuilt, new set of plugs and it's running great.

GITSUM!!!!! good deal man. go wear out some tires and brakes!

well, now you know your calipers pistons and pins arent sticking!!! lol

yep. pilot jets still clogged, vents not venting, or floats too low. assuming you removed the float valve seats and cleaned those tiny screens.

if it only runs on choke, you need to disassemble, clean, make sure of float level, install, sync. forget about how it is supposed to work and focus on making sure it is in same condition as when delivered to dealer from honda.

blast em, polish em, then spray em with clear. it be foofoo shiny and last as long as the originals have. my aspencade is stock, has clear coated aluminum that still is ok from 30 ft.

yes, the rz was a much different machine! wheelies galore!

great karma! and you now own a great motorcycle!

Beautiful! remember them well, and would beat many a bigger bike in the streets!

k & n only filters decently when it is dirty, which sukks for flow. k&n only flows decently when it is clean, which sukks for filtering. but the passage of oil onto sensors works well to empty your wallet. flow restrictions in most modern engines are not at the air filter. who would spend $$...

shorter spring is a stiffer spring. think damping at the bottom of the stroke. race tech springs have better damping rates for more aggresive riders. if staying with stock marshmellow ride, stay with stock springs and refresh with new oem. the rest gets into welding and redrilling damper rods, oil v...

lol.you are feeling th chop of rural America. its like a bad shock, bur it is not, enjoy!

i have refurbed many hyrdraulic cylinders by polishing lightly with emery cloth wrapped around the shaft and while pulling back and forth, allow it to move slowly up and down the shaft.vise the cylinder so the opening is pointed down, or tape off the cylinder opening to avoid abrasives from getting ...

dont forget to release the air pressure!

just let it hang. rapid squeeze and release of impact trigger will break loose the bolt, and spin it out.

hit em with an impact, short trigger bursts only burp, burp, burp, and they will come out. you are hearing the damper rod turning.

If it has an electric trim control, that helps a lot for dealing with road crown and such. Much less tiring than having to counter that all the time. yes, last car i mounted, i put a linear actuator on the outside wheel. could fine tune for the crown, or drainage grade, or camber. helped a lot. as ...

yep! battery tender juniors. got one hangin where bike parks, and got one plugged to the boat. also buy the quick connects to install on lawn mower, tractor,cars, clip ons for other batteries stored in 5th wheel.

drive it in very rural area for a few hours. never exceed 50 mph and see how bad you hurt the next day. aftermarket rake kits are usually a band aid to keep it from headshaking. you wont have to check for headshake, you will feel it. at what speed does it shake, at what speed does it smooth out? ask...

look at no. 5 . joint set. this is what was leaking on mine. the orings dries, crack and leak. no cure but to replace. i hope your problem is something easier.

one of the very first things i did after riding my gl1200 home after purchase. i found guy who had a limited, and had stock pegs. i traded my boards for his pegs. the only parts i needed were the pegs. the boards looked like markland stuff that was common back in the day, it had a u shaped thingy th...

sounds like you may be having a wheel bearing issue. noise can transmit to another area, giving false diagnostics. for S & G;s while on center stand, see if you can grab rear tire at 12 and 6 oclock and rock it. put some muscle into it, see if it rocks at all. also, place bike in gear and rotate...

wow, that must have been a brutal education. dont feel bad, everyone has had a moment of overlooking the problem. ride often, post pics!
peace

you will become very familiar with those carbs by the time you get everything straightened out! lol
peace

if you hear a sucking sound that is distinct, i would cut to the chase and identify, correct, and ride! look for the vac leak. double check the vacuum hoses from the manifolds and ALL orings.
maybe someone else can offer info more specific to that exact model.

partially engage choke. if that helps, then tear carbs back down.also look for vacuum leak. if choke doesnt help then i would look at point gap or timing. checked cam timing to make sure not a tooth off?
