At least know what you are getting into when you do buy them. In about 45 seconds of research I located this agency in Florida, they claim to be able to get a title without going out of state. It might be a place to start. It states for cars but I imagine it will work for bikes. Either way...

I hate to tell you what you already know but the DMV, court or any other Government agency is at best going to give you the stare of death and next comment. These guys all too often count the minutes till they go home and get their joys disappointing people. It is very likely there is no easy...

Only thing that pops into my mind is if the kickstand switch if faulty it might cause indicate this symptom. I had one that was bad and it thought the kickstand was down all the time so when you put it in gear it would stall just like the clutch was not engaged. I do not know what years had...

I just looked briefly at the statutes for obtaining a title in Florida and I hope for your sake you are a lawyer or know one. Its so convoluted and vague I have no idea. Here is the only document you need in TN, it only requires a bill of sale if its over 30 years old. Perhaps if you can...

Oh one thing I forgot to mention, they will give you a registration and a tag when you go in with the form, and take your money. The title comes a month or two later, unless it denied. In a ironic twist of events the one that I got the denial letter I just kept registering it every year and...

Sounds like its a nightmare is some states. Here in Tennessee its not really all that hard. There is a form you have to download from the state.gov page. As long as the bike is over 25 years old they will do a title check for stolen and if not stolen they will issue you a title. I have done...

I had some pretty significant exhaust leaks where the inner pipe separated from the outer right up near where it connects to the engine. I welded them up but I fear the air is still leaking from the inner pipe to the outer pipe a little bit. Possibly this is causing the slight popping on...

OK I changed the floats to 22mm. I do have a digital caliper and its right this time. I reset the air adjustment screws with the dead cylinder method, The left one changed slightly to about 1 1/8, The right one is 1 1/8 as well. When running on either cylinder it runs very smooth and...

Thanks for the information again. I will do as instructed and let you guys know what results I have. Going to work on it now.

Ok I went back through the carbs just to make sure and I found that I had messed up the float adjustment on the right side. The float was set to about 28-29mm on one of the tangs, not sure how that happened but it must have caught on something. Not sure how much that will affect things but I...

Went out and changed the slides as suggested, It possibly made it worst if any change at all. (its also cooling down now the suns down so that may be part of it) Ran a 3 mile chop and plug was white as new, ground was very white. No sign of a ring. The guide would have me up the main if I...

81 xs running VM34 carbs. Have adjusted valves, chain and new oil. Synced the carbs as close as I can get them. The bike starts easily, idles fine, although the right side seems a bit lean at idle as it has a slight pop until it warms up. Once it warms up it idles fine. It rolls on...

The bike has the vm34 carbs, but it originally had the bs34 carbs, and still has the stock boots. The bs34 carbs have a outer diameter of roughly 42.5mm, the boots have a inner diameter of about 42mm. The Vms have a outer diameter of about 40mm, I have seen mixed post on this, some say...

Just a followup on my problem for people who see this problem in the future. As stated above when the green wire was hooked up to ground the AC voltage was accurate. The rectifier/regulator was in fact bad, The troubleshooting guide in the tech section was accurate on identifying the...

Hmm that makes sense, I did not put that together until you mentioned it. I will check that out tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the insight.
