Hello All, Jim rebuilt my rotor, it looks brand new and measures perfect ohms, (definitely the way to go! Thanks, Jim!) and I do not believe I'm getting it all the way on. My evidence is that the stator won't go on all the way. I looked real close with a flashlight and I can see probably a mm...

Hello Community, Could I get names of the parts in the pictures? It's not charging and it fails the slap test, (by the way so does my 2004 Honda Shadow - is that completely different?) so I need to start troubleshooting but I'm not sure what's what. Also, regarding the awesome write up by Jim...

Hello, 83 Heritage Special, stock Kind of out of no where I have lost electrical features like starter, lights, etc. I read a lot of the threads but I have a question: will it make it 12 miles home? Probably way easier to have someone get me from work and leave it here if it's questionable...

And/or spent chain? All of a sudden I’m gettting a rrr rrr rrr feel-it-in-the-foot pegs on decel/coasting It’s audible and sounds like “chain lash” which is a term I made up I think but hopefully conveys. Like the chain is all of a sudden rubbing on something Pulls strong going fast and accel

Hey All Happy 4th! If this forum only had an App.....is it just me? So my bone stock 83 with brand new (Old Skool Carbs!!) carbs runs like shit Like barely runs, real rough etc. Clearly electrical. So I got my Haynes and I figure its probably the coils but lets check everything. So I pull...

Hello Friends, 1983 Heritage Special - bone stock. Started up all right, seemed good enough to finally ride. Went a couple miles, nice long 60 mph straightaway, slowed to the stop sign...stalled and wouldn't start. Had to get picked up and trailer it home. I actually thought about just...

Hello my Friends, Just wanted to mention how much I enjoy and value this forum I think about many of you with your profile names and how much help I've gotten I wish I could ADD more tech content - in due time I suppose I wish I could post a new thread from my phone (can anyone?) Seems like I...

Hi All So I cleaned my carbs and thank s to Mcmacmac got everything reassembled. Sort of. Checking things and the choke pulls to choked but doesn’t snap back. WTF? I sprayed it of course in situ but still sticks I guess I can ride like that but is this some newb carb cleaning error? Peace John...

Good day All Could someone share a photo of the bracketure which holds the choke cable ? Installed. I’m having a serious brain cramp. Does the “C” shaped bracket with the one-screw hold-down go in the middle of the right side on top of the wishbone plate? I’m trying to get it on the right side...

Good morning, Folks, On my 1983 Heritage Special I have what seems to me to be an unusual fuel leak. It isn't running too well either. When I say not running well, I mean it starts but sometimes get a racing idle, sometimes it stalls. So basically I have two questions: (See photo)1. if fuel is...

Hello Everyone, I admittedly didn't search on this one: when I get it running, gasoline leaks out the bottom of the LEFT side cover (the chain side), before I pull that cover (which is thankfully not the drain-the-oil side) any ideas on how this is even possible? It has to be the carb and it's...

I looked on MikesXS and it seems we buy these in pieces. Can I fix this? Does the end screw on? also got some new foot peg rubbers, those need to be glued on? Thanks as always.

Vacuum type, new soft parts. Drip, drip , drip this is the normal Run position, in Prime it flows freely, Res same drip Since it's dripping from the fuel outflow port I think it's OK? But I do not know if I put the plastic block in correctly. Too stupid to pay attention when I took it apart...

After an oil change which took forever (ordered yamalube which took two and half weeks because shipment one got damaged) And a clutch adjustment. Both intending to reduce some pretty bad slipping I took a spin tonight. It shifts good and I do believe the OEM oil helps the slip a lot. However in...

Hi 1983 Heritage Special I tried to reopen an old thread but it seems to not have worked. My tach cable disengaged. I was able to pull the gear/shaft right on out. So I had all the oil out anyway so I pulled the cover off because now I need to find the washer. Found that. Now, what does the...
