1986 Radian yx600. I believe they are tubeless. I am normally wrong about things tho.
Oblivion, I am going to do the soapy water test tonight. Gary, I hope you are wrong because that sounds like quite the hassle. I am also going...
What's the tool I need? Anyone know of a pervious thread with some info on how to tighten a loose valve?
Kickaha, is it realistic they would do anything? I paid for a tire change almost a year ago.
How can the valve be leaking if I keep the caps on?
Yay. What are my options and where should I start?
So I had new tires put on last by a local bike dealership. Both the front and back slowly lose pressure. After about two weeks they are around 10...
Jake750 seems like a cool guy. The JBM's fit like a glove and the bike runs perfectly. I was skeptical at first since their website looks like its...
The head gasket on my radian 600 was blown when I bought it. There was a small constant leak of oil from in between the cylinder and head on the...
I typed that weird. What I meant was that I assume some the atomized gas found its way to the diaphragms somehow.
I am not sure. I just assumed that some atomized gas would find its way up to the diaphragms. The diaphragms were probably bad before but they...
I am suspicious that Berryman's Chemtool is what fried my carb diaphragms
The problem might be your religion. May I humbly invite you to join the church of clean?
JBM diaphragms fit like a glove. The bike is running phenomenally. Cutting off the big metal washers on the carb pistons was a bit of a hassle tho.
I dont know if its the best but Dupli-color silver engine enamel or metallic silver acrylic look pretty nice. Seal it off with a coat of diamond...
Has anyone ordered carb diaphragms from JBM Industries? Are they good quality? And if so, does anyone know if they carry any diaphragms that will...
I'm going to bite the bullet and try to just replace them instead of taking my chances with trying to "rejuvenate" the rubber.
I am going to try the air compressor or vacuum test when I get home. It seems that the carb diaphragm rubber on the 3 carbs that dont want to seal...
Carb hats on. So that means that only one is working properly? What is the remedy for clunking carb slides with hats on??
Hey guys. So my radian 600 was running like crap. If the bike was in neutral it would rev normally but any load on it what so ever and it could...
An old cohort of mine is an absolute wizard at 3d printing and scanning. I doubt it'd be a problem for him. I'm going to ask him to scan and print...
A whole headlight or just the bulb?
I also would like to hear peoples thoughts
Jeff thank you. I've been procrastinating due to my hatred of reinstalling the carbs. Jet, I've done all of the usual jazz when buying a used...
I never installed the overflow hoses when I installed my carbs. Could this be causing a lean condition??
This ones been bugging me. Do the carb overflow hoses suck in air?
Anyone know if its actually possible to work on the top part of the carbs without removing them?? I feel like you'd have to have some sort of...
I mailed them to the rebuilder. They didnt have an opportunity to test out the bike or anything. Is that a thing that aftermarket needles are...
Minimutly, it was through wiredgeorge. A friend recommended them to me. If I had know about hogfiddles I would have done that. I already shipped...
I can rule out starvation from petcock then. If it helps, there is also a decent amount of smoke coming from the exhaust.
Would an aftermarket non-vacuum style petcock possibly be causing fuel starvation?
1986 Radian 600. So just got my carbs back from being professionally rebuilt. Hooked them up, fired it up, checked for vacuum leaks, synced them...
99% prep. 1%painting. Use an adhesion promoter for plastic. Prime and sand it. Then prime again and sand again. Then wet sand. Then pray to...
Interesting story about the fender actually. My original plan was to paint the front fender the same color. The bike didnt have a fender when I...
Any chance someone on this forum has heard of or knows anything about Wiredgeorge Carburetor Services? What's the word on their reputation? Are...
I vote 6
Tony, does your clutch feel usually "heavy" or or hard to pull?
What is the reasoning behind that? and does that apply to all applications or just specifically in regard to internal components?
Turns out the exhaust manifold nuts on the #3 cylinder exhaust was very loose and wasnt sealing at all. I had noticed smoke coming out of the...
Can't go wrong with Harbor Freight.
The Radian 600 Manual says that 20-40 or 10-30 oil should be used, depending on temperature. There seems to be a real lack of availability for...
Any chance someone could give me an example of what 1mm-3mm of play looks like? The phrase "a few mm of play" really shouldn't be hard to...
Difficulty breathing and severe chest pain.
first gen kz900?? Pretty sure the original kz900 frame's had a triple backbone like the Maxim/Radian. Speaking of which, might want to consider a...
Got any plans for the front end and seat??
I actually got the paint for free from a local collision shop that had some leftover they were going to throw away. I know that it is color rite...
This is a dead thread, but I just figured out my problem. The previous owner removed the plastic or rubber fitting thing that fits into the bottom...
Girlfriend actually picked the color scheme. Hence the rose gold upper fork bracket. And the gold keychain that says "Brazen Hussy". I think she...
My Radian 600 build. Officially done except might swap to aftermarket mirrors and add crash guards from a xj550 maxim. Modifications include:...
Does anyone know if an engine guard or a similar item was ever produced for the Radian 600? Or if some sort of frame slider exists (which I...
