i just got done doing my fork seals and had to get a stop nub built back up on my triple tree. the rubber seal was not damaged so i doubt it got...
Yeah that's what I was worried about.. Well I just went ahead and found some good ones on ebay. Definitely not using a punch on these ones
anyone have any information on replacement triple tree nuts for an 83 xj900. i want to try some regular hex nuts for it because back when i did...
the front end will be coming apart. im doing new wheel bearings (front and back), new fork seals and dust seals, tires, and rear shocks so why i...
Do you think the lower triple tree stop bump can be fixed/rebuilt up by an aluminum welder after being sheared off? picture as an example of...
yeah i didn't think so :/ there's a video online of a guy replacing his with some race techs, which he had his stocks rebuilt once and couldn't...
i meant i had found 2 type haha such as the ikon's being one and the cheaper ones as the second type. so you guys recommend ikon? i know the...

ok i appreciate your help but i figured out where they hid the little bugger. i pressed all the way around the seal [IMG] and stuck a screw driver...
well heres the problem. the adjustment screws are seized in and i may have broke the slot for a screw driver ok ok i actually did. all the pistons...
forks have done been torn apart last year i redid the fork seals. i just neglected the anti dives. which is biting me in the ass right now. the...
i need some help how do you get 31 . 66 apart? i found one was leaking oil and not brake fluid. [img]
its not at the bolt. its where the banjo fitting goes to the anti dive. ive been bleeding brakes so i pump them up and tie the handle to keep...
but i mean should the part with the banjo fitting be leaking were it bolts to the fork part if i have it under pressure for the night?
i used a piece of film. wiped the forks. inserted film. rotated 5 times then pulled out and wiped it down again. inserted dust cap. then i did a...
1) Did my fork seals last year roughly and i look today to what seems so be a slight leak and im curious if my seals are bad or just have a little...
i am android but i have searched for an RPM thing and i dont think ive found anything of interest to be good enough. i dunno maybe im just not...
well i had been running it at a 2.5 for a week or 2. and i thought she ran like a beauty. but i was scared of too lean and melting my pistons. so...
My carbs go from orange to blue At about 5 1/4 turns. But i can't find my 2nd at when the rpms die to find the middle. This cold i had has my ears...
Thought orange was rich? I haven't actually seen white which is probably the issue im having. To me it's seeming the same color blue all the way...
got my colortune the other day and i am having a terrible time on differentiating the difference in color in blue the leaner i go. i have no issue...
Yea i did some research. I guess first versions didn't get them and couldn't handle as much pressure. So they revised fixed it with An insulator...
well supposedly someone got ahold of colortune and they sent them free insulators... being in the USA i doubt they would do it. dont get why...
thats what i was worried about. he wants 25$ for that one and 30 for another with the same look but i thought it looked wrong. he says they work
why do these look different [img] compared to [img]
trust me i need to with how unexperienced i am with the old fashion mixture way XD. just slight money tightness till work starts back up. i think...
I know I'll use it but i can't justify 50 bucks or more right now
needing a 14mm colortune for my 83 xj900 or rent one from someone so i can get my mixtures done. i know its a useful tool but i just cant reason...
i cant say ours have been broken here. just alot of rain/snow/ice being persistent
thanks fiddes. now can you make the weather warm too?
is it 3 turns or 3.5 turns for stock mix set on an 83 xj900? been rebuilding carbs thought id double check

the first picture has 2 a little lean looking but i dont know much but i corrected those by richening the 2 suspected cylinders. to try and even...
it more n likely does. i was probably going to redo the carbs this winter.
see i was thinking the flaking was because 1&2 (4&3) were running leaner than 3&4(2&1) so i spruced those 2 up a quarter turn as seen in the first...
well i rode on those for a solid 5k as my avg rpm. for about 30minutes. i guess that isn't a long enough time to be able to judge it huh? i guess...
well they say on this site most bikes are 2.5 -3.0 turns and i honestly thought 2.5 was lean but if you think otherwise then im quite shocked. im...
dont take my word on it but at 12.5 i think it might be time for you to rejet your carbs instead of that many turns o.O
i kinda miss the scroll menu of new posts/threads
[img] non specific order. at 3 turns out. before tune up. [img] new plugs and decreased to 2.5 turns out. plugs are 4-1. obviously too lean so...
