Sorry I don't know, not seeing what youre seeing there. You might look up Chacal here on this site, he has all kinds of stuff like that.
You pull it out after the sync is done You can leave it in there when you colortune between syncs after sync you take it out and return the bike...
You really do need the YICS tool. I made my own, there are instructions on this site. The YICS tool seperates the carbs so that when you are...
Forget the silicone and if you need a charger just get a little trickle charger to maintain your battery. They are small and weight is minimal....
Sorry, never had to get into mine yet.
Sounds like the oil may be gone. Can you tell if there was a seal leaking?
SWEET!!!
I find that after I sync then colortune that I need to re sync and then colortune that keeps on for at least several times before I'm really happy.
My XJ runs perfectly fine on regular unleaded. I have put premium in it before but it made no real difference so I stay with good old regular....
sounds like you could have a bent fork tube.... Or maybe the seals are shot and there is no oil in it..... or maybe the springs are shot.......
I use a small aftermaket in-line fuel filter from Napa. I haven't had a problem since. I might add that I ran it about 2yrs and then changed it...
1st rule, until you get to ride your bike and it isn't broke right now...... go for some rides!! After you tear into it, and if indeed yoiu...
Mike's right those pods are a pain in the neck in the long run. There is a groove that a small protrusion needs to go into on the boots, sounds...
BTW notice the burnt spot on the 3rd pic where the compression is escaping? You ABSOLUTLY do need a new gasket!!
OK here's my 2 cents. I'm not sure but looking at the picture, it looks as if there is gasket material on the tops of the cylinders...!? Is...
Real nice writeup John!! Sounds like you got those carbs really close to make you so happy. I use a sync stick with mercury tubes and found that...
Now it's been a while since I noticed the sender on my 85 XJ700N tank but I do know it has a sender on it for the low tank level idiot light....
If that carb cleaner ate those rubber parts, that means it was doing what it should. Carb cleaner that works, generally eats rubber! Be...
1st of all, I ride my bike at 7K elevation all the time and even higher. I never had to swap out plugs but I dont stay up there too long... a day...
If I don't like the looks of the tire.... I break down and buy a new one!! What value do you put on your life and good health?! Don't play games...
I don't have a picture but I built some brackets out of flat bar that holds my bags away from my rear wheel. If you just sit behind your bike and...
Like was said before, these Maxims have their own unique sound which is a bit of a whine... Sorry
If you dont smell gas in the oil filler cap. Then it could be a wear indication, possibly ring wear causing a blow-by. I hope not.
1st thing, check the cable to be sure it wasn't a 1 X thing.... what kind of oil do you use? It is REALLY important to ONLY use oil that is...
I once had a problem with just 1 plug, it seems the wire unscrewed from the connector, but it was hidden under the rubber boot. I screwed it back...
Sorry about the posts Snow.... Not sure how I did this but I'll be more careful.
Fitz is right here! New filter every time! (NOT Fram) No Seafoam in the oil. One thing I DONT agree with is Seafoam being stove gas. I t's...
Lots of good advise. I found the mirrors on E-bay were acceptable if you find them by application. The oil filter in my little town was...
This last Oct I blew out a cervical disc. The dr's gave me so much dope that I couldn't see straight or even think right.... now I know, most...
Next year lay it up with some Sea Foam, it REALLY works!!!
I just got done resyncing mine...... smooth as silk! But I din't ride today.... snow spitting outside today. COME ON SUMMER!!!
Be sure you use a in-line fuel filter when you get done. It may seem real clean but it only takes a small little chunk of junk to blow a whole...
I'd fight it! 1st of all did he show you the radar gun when he accused you? Was he directly behind you so that he could clock you? Both of...
Sure is sweet!!!

Really quite cool!!! I'd like one for an XJ700N..... You realize that once this gets started it could become quite big and overwhelming!
I bought a used helmet once.... every time I wore it I kept thinking... I wonder if that last guy sneezed in here? Was he sick? I wonder if he...
I live in sunny AZ but laid mine up for the winter too! Just found out why my left arm wont work right... and hurts so bad. Herniated disc...
Congrats and job well done! The idle will probably work out when the sync and other adjustments are done.
I meant to get them hot and soft BEFORE putting them on the tank and holding them tight till they cool on the tank forced to cool to shape???
I was starting to wonder..... my bike wont run when the enrichment circuit is open more than a tiny little bit and then it runs really bad!!!
even if it was totally disconnected the enrichment valves will naturally spring closed
How about boiling hot water to soften the badge and then quickly use pressure to form fit!? I've never done this so be careful not to ruin the...
I LOVE IT!!! One way to know if you have trouble on a compression check is if they have too great a spread on PSI but these look about the same...
I agree! SWAP that battery out! Then let us know how it turned out. Please
I run 20-50 and just don't ride when it's too cold.. The oil should be checked "with the bike on the centerstand or held vertically, and after...
You say you "have almost no mechanical skill" I say NO!!! You better not build those carbs yourself!!!
