I've seen MC's on more acute angles than that - it will be fine as long as you fill the reservoir and ensure the diaphragm is pressed in so there...
There was nothing wrong with the original split line set-up (except of course the twisting of the hoses at the caliper ends). Having steel line in...
To the brake lines? Here they are:...
So when I swapped out the calipers I had to twist the banjo 90 deg to bolt the lines onto the calipers. It looked like this and to be honest I...
I've only got access to a "seat of my pants" dyno, but it feels stronger under acceleration and throttle response is crisper. I guess it's a bit...
OK so I thought I would play around with the ignition timing. Most bikes are timed quite conservatively with the idea being they will be able to...
Did you remove the plasti-gauge before you torqued the caps? Sounds like something is still in there?
So I've been loving the Divi - except the front brakes had a squeak..... so here is an upgrade I just finished on the front brakes. The Internet...
The best filters are paper element, however some of them will not flow enough fuel in a gravity system (they are meant for fuel pumps).
Yep - all good advice. Don't go buying bits for it that are unnecessary at this stage until you can assess if the engine is OK. Who knows - it...
Oh well - more fool them - they are stupidly cheap right now so I guess the only idiot would have been me if I didn't buy it :D
They are actually a bit of a cult bike in Europe - every forum and FB group search I did came up pretty much all in Germany. I've had a few old...
Hey guys - have been away from XJ World for quite a few years with a bunch of Suzuki and Kawas parked in the garage but finally went back to the...
As mentioned above, all the pipes you are looking at are emission related. You can remove them all right down to the head and bolt up the intake...
If I Recall Correctly.
Wow 8O Absolutely won't fit. Never. Totally different engines, frames, everything. The only thing they share in common is the badge on the...
Sorry to dig up old posts... But the XT500 rear wheel DOES have a cush drive. Just so you all know :wink:
Well, for starters they're for 43mm forks, your XJ has 36mm. The stem length / diameter is probably different - which means new bearings /...
So your dad bought a Harley that was paid for but wasn't picked up by a customer? Who in hell buys a bike then doesn't pick it up??
:lol:
Don't forget to soak your new friction plates in oil (preferrably overnight) before you install them.
As long as the lever doesn't come all the way back to the bars 8O I tried a 14mm on my old 750 Seca (twin disc) and it wasn't big enough. Had...
Good strong motors on the FZR. They do wear out the emulsion tubes in the carbs quite easily / quickly which can make them bog down around the 3 -...
The guy has 0 feedback - which means he hasn't bought or sold anything on eBay before. He's no doubt hoping there is a world of cashed up idiots...
I was almost going to post that up here too. The guy is dreaming....
Cable pull bracket is 180 deg out.
I would assume the 750 head would have smaller valves than the 1000 - all the better for making low-mid range torque as opposed to top end power...
So if the Maxim head fits the FZR block, then all you need to do is relieve the head to get an acceptable compression ratio. IF the Maxim head...
Didn't you have a photobucket account, wiz??
Check this out: http://www.airhawkguy.com.au/index.htm My brother has one of these for his z1300 and he swears by it for long rides.
Schooter - there is no way you can confuse a slipping clutch with a missed gear. One just has the revs creeping up on you while the other shoots...
Re: It's Aliiiiiiive!!!!!!(in my best Young Frankenstein voi Nice resto :wink: That is the bike I would buy if I was after a Jap cruiser.
If you have access to a welder, weld a nut onto the end of the stud. The heat will help loosen the threads.....and you'll have a nut to put a...
Not sure if this is a re-post, but it's the first time I've seen it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvlaBDxf ... re=related
Hmmm.......every sportsbike nowadays runs 17" rims, so I can't agree with you here.
Your Maxim runs 33mm carbs (I think). Putting 41mm carbs on it won't do anything good for bottom end power. And seriously, they won't work if...
More than likely wont work because the R1 carbs are down draft and need to run at an angle, whilst XJ carbs are horizontal mounted.
In the shop we used to keep the forks assembled, clamp the caliper mount in the vice (so the fork is horizontal) then undo the damper bolt with an...
Or just use silicon to glue the piece on.
DOH....ninja'd....
Not any more....Australia 3 posts, Michigan 3 posts..... :lol:
Spooky... :D How's that shafty coming along Fitz??
This one's better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6sH8WRl6yI
3.5K to 9K is a pretty broad range and is the pilot / needle / main jet territory. Are you SURE it's running rich up top and not lean??...
Jeez - she's small your Mrs.......
You need a decent flow of air to push the wall of the tyre out to seat the bead. You could try a ratchet strap around the tyre to help compress it...
More than likely what razz has suggested. If you are losing that much oil in the combustion chamber your bike would easily be mistaken for a worn...
The other bike is a KZ750 twin (Kawasaki). If you are going to put big fat rubber on the front, you will want a wider rim to accommodate it....
I would have thought it would be far easier to just take off your watch... :lol:
WD40 into the airbox?? Don't do that. You need starter fluid (Aerostart or Start ya bastard). And only use a TINY squirt as you are cranking the...
