    Purpose of Carb stacks?

    I like how the chrome/polished ones look but don't know their exact function (if any). Can someone help me here? Thanks!! Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2

    "Chirping" Backfire?? (video)

    It is almost like air is getting cut off or something. Hell, I don't know! There have been no new mods or anything and I run 91 octane....could the gas be a problem?

    Horn blows turn signal fuse...

    This conversion includes the integrated turn signal. I have to say it doesn't happen EVERY time, which is what kind of confuses me. Seems like when the bike is under a load (merging with traffic or something) is when it happens. Again, not everytime but it seems that when the horn is used, it...

    "Chirping" Backfire?? (video)

    Ok, so Mark and I seemed to get everything going just fine (carb sync) and all was well, I didn't touch anything else and then I was getting a slight backfire at idle or deceleration. You can hear early and several times in this short video the "chirping" that will sometimes kill the bike as...

    Horn blows turn signal fuse...

    Can anyone tell me why (more often than not) when I am cruising and have my turn signal on and hit the horn that my 10A fuse blows? I have led turn signals on the front and the cbr conversion on the back. Both have resistors wired inline. Also, when that blows, my tach and temp guage go...

    Hard Start when warm

    Well, Mark came over yesterday and we solved the problem. Turns out even the new P.O.S made in China maintenance free battery was DOA. Cleaned the starter out, re soldered some 'iffy' connections and voila!! Lesson learned: always start with the simple things (battery). Thank you for all your...

    Too much seafoam?????!!!

    Got it solved today! While I don't know if you can "O.D." on seafoam, I probably did have too much in there. While changing the battery AGAIN we noticed that one of the wires going to the coil connection (those referenced above) was cut. Problem solved! Thanks for the input! Sent from my DROID...

    Hard Start when warm

    Pulled starter....cleaned and bent tabs. Cranked 5-6 times and then nothing. Sounded like the garbled rocks then nothing. WTF did I do wrong? Assembled starter wrong? Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2

    Too much seafoam?????!!!

    I'm pretty certain I hooked them up correctly. They were so short that there is no way they would have been able to cross. I'm leaning towards something with the coils. It is basically not starting and yes, backfiring like crazy.

    Too much seafoam?????!!!

    Siphoned all the gas out and emptied the bowls. Seem to have done the trick. I guess you learn something every day. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2 EDIT! It did not work!! UGH! I cut a small amount off of the wires and there wasn't much left to still connect to the coil. I just bought...

    Too much seafoam?????!!!

    I did remove the coils and such to gain clearance to the battery when I replaced it. Could it be that the coil wires did not 'seat' properly when I reinstalled? Would that cause a backfire issue?

    Too much seafoam?????!!!

    So I have been having some problems with my charging system and bought a new battery, hooked it up, all works, blah blah blah. Well, as I was waiting for battery to charge overnight, I poured a whole can of seafoam in my tank (its the ONLY thing I have done). Now it is morning and I went out to...

    Hard Start when warm

    Had a friend help me check the battery when trying to start and it read 6.6.....pretty sure the battery is toast.

    Hard Start when warm

    I really hesitate to mess with the carbs or any adjustments. I have Mark's (Maleko) old bike. I know he is a Carb guru and I haven't touched them since buying it almost 2 years ago. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2

    Hard Start when warm

The bike runs great with the choke on and when Im at stop at stoplight, I have to keep on the throttle while in idle or clutch engaged. Is there a way to adjust the idle? Im confused because that won't fixt he hard/non...
