    The END is near (California guys)

    Check into Yamaha generators, good stuff. Get plenty of watts, the Honda I bought at 1000 watts is pretty wimpy. I still run a 2-stroke Lawn Boy up at the lake. Kicks ass on a 4-Stroke of similar size and starts in 1 pull even after winter storage. I see money to be made on black market gas...

    Forks leaking after new seals!

    I always replace all the bushings with a fork seal leak. It's more often the cause than a leaking seal. As a former dealer service manager , unless they're unavailable use OEM seals and gaskets. The cost of time and money by doing it twice is not worth the savings. Would also suggest that when...

    Lithium-Ion batteries, rules, myth's, facts not fake news.

    I will have 3 bikes that can all use the same size standard battery. They all will need a battery eventually. They are not everyday drivers but not garage queens either. I would like to buy 1 battery and swap it when necessary. 2 of the bikes, weight is no issue. 1 bike, I'm trying to shave as...

    Trying to repair wore out Needle Jets/Emulsion tubes.

    Lots of internet time netted much info as did Nessism on carb work. Found some similar nozzles that may have worked but would take considerable modification. Do-able, but probably very expensive. In the mean time I had been in touch with a seller on Ebay that was parting out a 82 GPZ. When the...

    Trying to repair wore out Needle Jets/Emulsion tubes.

    And after just reading about rebuilt choke plungers from Jedz in the UK, i will probably try that update. The bike is running rich and would then eliminate that as a possible cause. I will speak with the tuner tomorrow.

    Trying to repair wore out Needle Jets/Emulsion tubes.

    It's a fairly common problem. Intake vacuum pulls the needle into the nozzle and over time elongates the hole causing a rich condition. Honda V-4's are notorious for this issue. The previous tuner had used larger needles in an effort to compensate and it ran like sheet. I understand not wanting...

    I only paid $1200 for a fully original 78 GS1000 with 12k. The exhaust is perfect but where ever it was stored the head pipes got extremely rusty. rechrome is $900. It would be hard to come to a price that you would accept. I almost bought a GS850 as the pipes will fit the 1000 but I would have...
