I am selling my bike because i bought a newer vstar. This runs and drives but it leaks fuel out of the carb overflow. Last year i put on new front...
I mean it is arcing under the ruber boot that is on there. I cant see anything in a dark room. I would wingle the plug wire around near the coil...
I have the 7mm wires from dyna. They come with rubber boots that fit tight over plug wire and the connector. It is arcing internally.
I believe my dyna coils are the ones that slide in. I do not see threads anywhere. thanks
I am having problems with my spark plug wires in my coil. I can hear coil arching at the coil and wire. It is arching inside the rubber boot and I...
Thanks I found that 3d model. I am talking about carb and intake boot covers. I think I can design them so they attach the same way the covers do...
i have an xj 700 air model. I like the look of the xj700x carb covers and that gave me an idea. I want to sketch my own carb covers in a 3d...

It was less than .5 miles home and was like 80 degrees fareheit. I did fill a little pass the neck. So would that cause the gas to come out of the...
I filled my bike up and i rode it home. Then it sat for an hour. I filled it up on the sidestand on level ground and parked it on level ground....
I reset the throttle plates and it is running perfect now. Thanks to everyone
I am sorry for just getting back I have been very busy and went on a mission trip to Haiti. So I have not been on for a while. I check for leaks...
I disconnect the cable last night and still had the same problem. Yes i bench synced the carbs. Are you saying the butterfly could be to tight.
Sorry I am just getting back. I have a non vacuum petcock and have all the vacuum caps on. The boots are not new but are in good shape. The...
I just rebuilt my carbs and got them all clean. I replace the gaskets from head to intake boots. I am idle around 3k and sometimes jumps to 5k....
You could try heating the boot a hair dryer and then try to pull it out.
Yeah i was on the center stand. So is the spec for 2500cm3 the filter and oil or just the oil change. Thanks for the replys
The side of it says 2500cm3 and that is just around 2.6 quarts. Is that like the bare minimum. Does that fill up the oil filter. Will that show...
Thank you for all the great info on my purchases. Very fast shipping and very good customer service
I will hopefully do that tommorow. How many drops of oil should i put in for the wet test
Ok i fired it up just for a minute today and 1 and 2 were cold. I check plugs and they smelled of oil and gas on both 1 and 2. I ordered 8 new...
Should i rebenchsync to or just move the mixure screws then sync it. I think i may be burning oil
I rinsed the tank out but not really cleaned it but i have a new petcock filter
I did a compresion test of thats what you mean if thats just a typo or is compresition something else. My compression test was good dont rember...
I have the bike running pretty good.valves in spec. Carbs went to church. Everything is in pretty good shape. When i fired it up with a bench sync...
First you should get your valves in spec then maybe a few drops of oil into each cylinder
I was doing allmy testeing on the centerstand i am gonna test it right now on ground
ok it tested it today and had the same problem before the rebuild. no matter how much adjusting the tire still spun. while it was in gear i took...
My brother put it on today and I was not there to learn how to do it. I will ask him next time I see him. But I have not tested it out so I hope...
Ok I have them two pins and fit good. I tried turning the clutch lever shaft and I can get the cover fully on but the clutch is not working the...
i did remove the lever and the spring. I had the pull rod at 9 and could not get the cover on. what are the times in reference to on the cover.
I just rebuilt my clutch and got everything back to together except I can't get the outside cover on. I have look at bigfitz clutch threadand the...
I adjusted my valves earlier this year. I must have did it wrong. I replace one shim earlier. The bike has 17k on it. I did what bigfitz said in...
Yeah I took a lot of shortcuts before I started reading alot and I really regret ed it. Do you know if they are special bolts are just a hardware...
Ok that was what I was looking for I will add the list
ok i took it apart today and the plain plates were deeply engraved to much to just polish them up so all the plates are getting replaced. so are...
Ok the bike does slip in gear no matter how you adjust the cable. Does the link I posted have all the plates I need
But do you think that basic rebuild would fix the problem. I had the cover off earlier in the year but not lately. Are all the plates the same in...
No matter how much adjusting you do the wheel always spins. I figured that I probably have to do the plates and the springs. I dont know how many...
Oh I just snapped it while tightening it from when you said to do it before. So you make it sound like that bolt is threaded into the head. I will...
I tried to to do it but can't figure out how to put my location up
I was tightening the nuts and one snapped the whole bolt did not break just what was in the nut. Would it seal good with one nut or is it easy out...
I am having a weird ticking noise coming from the head area. I think it's the primary chain but not sure
Are you sure it is a 20 amp because my Xj700 has a 30 amp main but I really I am not familiar with your bike but check on a diagram before you...
