Whenever I see a car parked like that, I surround the entire thing with shopping carts.
General rule is two turns out and adjust from there And remember, a vacuum sync is the very last thing you do.
Fantastic work! I've been using Prep and Etch phosphoric acid to de-rust things lately. But with all the talk of Evap-o-rust (and with how clearly...
You can stack up blades. Like, stack up .05 and .06 to get .11 -- if it still fits, then stack .05 and .07. Make sense?
If you don't want to buy an OEM fuel pump or take a risk on a used one, there is a Polaris fuel pump which is made by the same manufacturer,...
That just about sums it up! Add just a splash more than 2.6QT (oil+filter change like Ghost said) and that oil light should be history. When...
Rider weight, lol Just sayin............ :P I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I'm just thinking out loud here. What about the...
Assuming the engine is in good shape (compression, valves in check) the fuel goes like this: Tank -> petcock -> fuel pump -> fuel rail ->...
Is this with full choke? Did you set your floats? Choke circuitry 100% surgically microscopically clean? These bikes hate cold starts as...
Interesting, looks like some of my videos that were posted on here aren't working any more. YouTube must have changed something. I just tried a...
Juuusssstttt wait. Someone will come in here saying that it makes them go faster or something.
How are the carb to engine rubber boots? If they start to dry up they'll crack and allow air to get in.
Hmm, differences that immediately pop into my head -- Other than styling, it has a CDI ignition system instead of TCI, 17" front wheel and 18"...
Yes indeed, that tire served faithfully. And I like the stock signals. They look tons better than little crummy LED things people slap on....
Hey guys, thought I'd show you where the bike is now. I decided against putting the front fairing back on. No surprise, right? Well I turned it...
Honestly I think it varies from different parts of the country, but I would have to say that in my experience law enforcement officers do treat...

Currently: The '95: [img] The '92: [img]
More cost effective to put in a different motor.....could be. Astronomical amount of work? Yes. You'd pretty much have to swap a whole FZ1 over...
Very nice work!
With some patience, headwork on these is pretty easy. Don't be intimidated just because you've never done it before.
I hope you kicked him in the wedding vegetables and got your five benjies back.
If you've got gas jelly, that means the bike had been sitting for an extended period of time. This means you have alot to investigate if you...
My '92 is called Xavier because he has wheels and doesn't go anywhere. I ride the '95 all the time so it is naturally named Magneto. (You'll...
It a tool you put in place of a spark plug that has a little window with which you look into your cylinder as it's firing And you tune your...
Excuse me while I go in the garage and caress my XJ's. Unbelievable. I know a thousand people, including myself, who would have treated that...
If it helps, after you send a message it sits in your "outbox" until the recipient reads it, and THEN it moves to the "sent box". But if they...
Thanks a bunch fellas. Yes, all the pictures come in handy. I refer to them very often to remember how a procedure was done, or what part I...
Selling all my worldly possessions short of the bikes and riding all over the country has crossed my mind...
Are you sure the needle valve seat is clean and not clogged? Sounds very inconsistent which makes me think there is foul play in your fuel...
User error.
Head is back on, but as you can imagine after lapping the valves and such the clearances have drastically changed. Addressing that is the next...
Plus, a Seca II/Diversion is probably the easiest bike in existence to get the engine in and out of.
Ledicott is right, the Seca II and Diversion use the same motor, although there are other differences between the bikes like carbs and other such...
Progress today Swingarm and kickstand bits, degreased. [img] Oh this will not do [img] Better. This was handy because I could pick one...
Thanks a bunch Mac! Plenty more to come I guarantee that.
Got around to painting the tree de triple today [img] [img] Touched up a few spots on the frame [img] [img] Painted and assembled the...
Yea, it works great although it depends on the quality of your sand and the CFM of your compressor. But heck, I used sifted play sand and a...
Thanks, this is the '92 with higher mileage. I'm replacing the head gasket in my '95 right now. Even with low mileage it decided to leak. The...
I was going to ride down to Daytona for bike week, but my head gasket decided to be a @&%!@. What do you expect for a bike that had been sitting...
Thanks for the positive words. It has been a while since I updated, but always in motion, the future is. **yoda chuckle** Had to fab some...
I have been working on this, lol Today it got degreased and semi-sanded. A patch was primed and I tested two colors I'm debating on using....
Regardless of the history, I think you got the deal of the year award. Very nice.
Having the chain adjusted too tight will wear it out much faster. It needs a little room to move around. Too loose, and you'll have a jerky...
Re: Proud Dad!!! That is a great accomplishment. Theater takes alot of guts and a special caliber of person to do what she has done. Awesome.
Congrats, don't freeze your tail off!
Sanded the flugen out of the cement, now ready to prime [img] On my makeshift holder. Outside in the cold and wind, too :x My paintbooth isn't...
I've been working on the mounting hardware for the belly pan. So far its been successful as far as lining things up, but I sure wish I had a metal...
The front fairing has a nasty crack. [img] Taped the outside to hold it together and keep the cement from coming through [img] I use a for...
There's a XJ600 Diversion in The Da Vinci Code, 'bout half way through the movie. I've got a screenie stashed somewhere that I will dig around for.
