have you seen the Fortnine experiment with automotive tires? [MEDIA]
So this is because of how amazon stocks things Everything with the same UPC goes into one bin in the Amazon warehouse Amazon buys 10 real plugs...
I had never heard of the candle wax trick before until I saw it demonstrated on a Project Farm video. He found lubricating fluid much more effective.
nice notice. It's on Rollback right now, good time to stock up you can use this tool to see stock levels at stores near you...
I haven't laughed a lot in 2020, but that was good one
yup, that's the stuff. Cheaper at Canadian Tire...
The numbers vary probably because of changing the oil filter vs not. Fill so the smallest of bubbles is visible in the sight glass I can't find...
No problems mixing oils, but make sure that you buying an oil suitable for our wet clutches, I believe JASO certified Rotella T4 is a good...
no worries. lots of people use T4
Bad idea. You got water onto the electrics. My hopelessly uneducated guess would be a cracked coil or spark plug wire. I would let the bike dry a...
I misunderstood, I thought this was something you had already done.
a little more than half of today's price https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Miniature-Daytime-Running-Contains/dp/B01FWOCST4/ probably cheaper at an...
are you saying you let your bike run for 10 minutes before riding it? If so, I'd suggest you not do that to an air cooled motorcycle but yeah,...
twice as much resistance than should be there but I really have no real world experience here maybe someone else will add knowledge here
resistor if you have resistor wires, don't get an R plug if you do... the opposite
yeah I said "valve stem" when I should have said "valve core" oh well, blame it on the beer (actually not drinking atm)
one thing I've done to seat a tire is to remove the valve stem, this allows a much great volume of air to go in
hi neighbour from across the water :) was the kickstand up?
So it doesn't appear to cause a situation where fluids could pass, so I'd say it's not a big deal if you're worried about it a small dab of RTV...
can you better highlight the area you're talking about? I can't really tell what you are referencing. thx
one of the "minor issues" is a broken odometer
honestly, I'm just getting lost of the newfangled words here. First I heard about an Atari, and now a Sega. Is the Xbox next???
when did you change the bars in relation to breaking the electronic bits? is it possible the ground at the kill switch is not ok?
a good vulcanized patch on the inside of the tire? :D
your exhaust looks way worse than mine did, however light rusting of chrome comes off well by rubbing the exhaust with aluminum foil
If I kept a list of expenses of my hobbies, I would never do them. "If you ride a motorcycle, you don't need a therapist"
I couldn't find the right picture, but they are all kinda similar Make sure the bolt labeled 13 in this pic is there and tight [ATTACH]
Yes. From the foot lever, follow back to where it enters the transmission case
as simple as the gear linkage has come loose?
I had a quick look at my '82 750 Maxim and the "cable" that's referred to likely is a wire, so yeah, probably an electronic tach would an air...
I *think* it's a cable as per the following diagram Try to find it at the engine (it's #4 in the diagram) [ATTACH]
I used an aircraft paint remover and it took off the 35 year old clear coat on the engine with no effort I thought that stuff would take off...
I've been doing a deepish dive into xj650s ... you know... cause it's Saturday night and I have no life... the 1983 XJ650 is called a xj650k...

the bucket is the steel piece that the headlight mounts on. It has the mess of wires in it
no spark on what plugs?
if it doesn't flash on one side, then that side has a bad bulb. Switch left for right bulbs (both) and does the problem follow the bulbs? I...
What bike are we talking about here? For example, the 750 Maxim doesn't have a relay
Just pull the wire off and inspect the boot too see if water could enter there. A cracked plug wire would be more likely than right at the spark...
I would guess a bad plug wire. Once things are wet, try spraying WD-40 on the wires & coils sparingly so that you know where you sprayed. WD-40...
