    Hanging throttle?

    A lot of us use CVK34's off EX500s and really like them, they slide into the stock intake manifolds if your bike came with the 34mm stock carbs.

    You might want to watch this, but you've been warned...

    When I knew that I was going to buy a motorcycle I read everything I could about it. I came across Twist of the Wrist 2 and they really pound counter steering into your head. It's helped me more than once get out of sticky situations and all around made me a much better rider. Looking where you...

    Ichiban actually started out his career trolling the guys at dotheton.com into insanity. Great read. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=52954.0

    Keihin carbs

    Mine is an 81, came with factory TCI igniter box. Eventually is crapped out and I had to replace it. A Pamco system with the rod and retarding spring system was the same price so I bought that and installed it. Works great.

    Keihin carbs

    Hey Mirage, any set of carbs off an EX500 work and slip into the stock carb boots on BS34s. If you need new boots a lot of guys recommend these guys http://jbmindustries.com/ For CV carbs we all universally recommend Unifilters. For jetting I'd read the massive thread. I also use the stock...

    If you could buy a brand new master cylinder...

    Questions about the TW200 MC. Do all TW200 year MCs work with the stock brake switch? I just pulled the trigger on a 70cm braided line from banggood which will fit my clubman set up nicely. In for a penny in for a pound, looking to order an MC. Edit: This was already answered earlier in this...

    If you could buy a brand new master cylinder...

    Watching this thread, my XS was my daily driver to and from work for years so it had to work. I remember 3am in the garage cleaning out the caliper piston because it wasn't releasing on a Tuesday morning. I'd love to get rid of my junky, stripped, and cruddy MC for something more suitable...

    Zero Freeplay at Wormgear Adjuster

    Extra ball bearing is what I thought to. I double checked today and I can confirm that the assembly goes Pressure plate/mushroom thingy/ball bearing/rod/ball bearing/worm. The stepped down end of the pushrod is what is coming out of the engine and pushing against the worm. 5Twins, is it...

    Zero Freeplay at Wormgear Adjuster

    Lever perch is set to give full slack, still no dice. I double check to see if the worm is set to 7 o'clock which it is at rest but when I attached the clutch cable it gets pulled to 9 o'clock just through the length of cable coming through the elbow. What I don't understand is that my cable...

    Zero Freeplay at Wormgear Adjuster

    Afternoon, I had to replace my pushrod, pushrod oil seal, and a spring on the clutch side. Everything went well until I went to install the left case cover. I was missing the ball bearing in the worm gear so I cleaned and lubed up the wormgear and gave it the bearing which I was running with...

    Can't quite get it to run right, '75 XS650

    The idle becoming worse after the bike warms up is really typical from what I hear. A lot of us set the idle screw after a good run so that the idle is set at operating temperatures, even more stick an hand down there and adjust the idle at stop lights here at there. Give that a try, it doesn't...

    I need help!!

    Huh, that's the same setting I had. Timing went out of whack, I had to get to work and back. Starting involved a lot of half "feeler" kicks and some gingerly ones hoping the small amount of momentum would send my bike into the ravages of combustion. It really doesn't take that much force to get...

    NKG Iridium Spark Plugs (BPR7EIX)

    I got a complimentary pair of iridiums from my pamco order. Only sparks plugs to not foul on me, of course when I swapped them in I also did some carb adjustments, either or really. I was also curious and got a pair of the autolites, it didn't seem like the threads were the same...
