    passenger seat

    This is the passenger seat mod I had done here at a local M/C shop. The owner has modified his own seats and several customers. He specializes in KLR650 seats. It is a wider and more bucket shaped, at first I didn't like is but function beats out form and I like it (wife does) just fine. It cost...

    Welcome to Bazaar World

    That's funny G, I can laugh now; my bike is running good. I hope MaxC gets it figured out I would be panicky. On a separate but similar note, my wifes DR125 California model needed more power, go figure. So I rejetted and removed the Cal. canister. A year later I'm just now getting around to...

    bad gas

    I also did the carb removal/cleaning with instructions and pictures from here. It was not anywhere near the difficulty I had expected. I even called the dealer, about 1 month and $750! I did have to remove and refrence pitures again but this was all in 2 evenings. I too did the solder on the...

    how to install a 4 way flasher on the v-max ?

    I have thought of installing dual filament sockets and bulbs in the rear only. Using one set for the turnsignals as they currently are. tie the other filiments together, adding another flasher and a switch. You would only have emergency flashers on the rear. It would be totaly isolated from the...

    dead cylinder

    Done: All cylinders running. Synced up and smooth. I will have to pull my left side scoop and check routing of throttle cables. Doesn't seem to snap back closed like I think it should, or like it did before. That ain't nothing.... Thanks for the help!

    dead cylinder

    Bike was still running on 1 cyl today. Removed carbs again and found more rust in the bowl. Recleaned everything and tried again, this time things were worse! After careful study I found one of the sync screw springs was on the wrong side of the tab. This seemed to be holding one of the...

    dead cylinder

    Cleaned fuel lines with cleaner and air. New fuel filter (replaced twice). I did turn the key on with fuel line disconected and fuel spayed. Not sure how clean it was as it went across the garage floor. I'm hoping with air box and air filter it is running fine. I wll know for sure this evening...

    dead cylinder

    Took out carbs this evening. The one that was causing so much trouble had a lot of rusty junk in the bowl. Cleaned out the enricher, the jets, and blew air through everything. Did all of them. Put them back on and started, without the breather box installed and seemed like my dead cylinder was...

    dead cylinder

    You mean cleaned up renewed carb rack. Won't they still need to be adjusted? I'll check around on the site for replacement. I thought it might come down to this, I was hoping not to. I did find my jet 2 was gummed today, amber colored obstruction, used cleaner and air and it was clean. thought...

    dead cylinder

    Yes I have some of the 'start your engine' in the tank now. Going on a 10 mile ride to see how it does, then if it doesn't work (which I feel like it won't) I'm going to remove my air box and see if If I can see a kinked hose or something. I did the propane gas tip around my fittings with no...

    dead cylinder

    One more thing; anyone ever use one of those laser, infrared temp reading things that you point and get a temp reading? looks like that would be a good cylinder health indicator.

    Dummy indicator/ finally

    06V Yes I though about that. I was able to keep the factory indicator look since I removed one of the red lens from my old scratched tach/temp panel. By the way I removed the red lens from dipping the panel in boiling water and tapping it out with a flat tip screwdriver. Someone could dremel out...

    Dummy indicator/ finally

    O.K. this project is finished. I now have a low voltage (11.95) indicator. It is not on unless voltage gets down that low. I got the schematic from online about low voltage indicator for solar panel battery bank. It is a 741 op amp chip,zener diode and several resistors. I used a pot and power...
