Its aready out and upside down to pull the pan and check out out. I looked in the service manual and of course the "proper" proceedure shows...
This motor did also have starter issues. I probably will not be tearing into it myself, I have a buddy locally that has an xj650 that he was...
I think letitrides has the right part. So is that piece part of the starter, part of the cam chain guide or both? The parts exposion shows...
Sure its not the starter upper guide?
[img] [img] Found these peices in the pan. This is my spare motor and It ran fine but has begun slipping out of 1st while sitting at a...
could mean a lot of blowby past the rings leading to over pressurization of the crankcase. I would start with a compression test.
much of that spongy feel can be attributed to the old brake lines as well. Upgrading to SS lines will help greatly.
What about the Triumph upright twins? What about their inline Triples? BMW Boxer twin or better yet inline 6 anyone? They also make some pretty...
I use a wooden hammer handle between the airbox and carbs to basically press them onto the boots. While holding the #1 side by hand I pop the #4...
you could just follow the bend line like you see there on my shifter cover and only to the center or your clutch cover. As Fitz mentions the...
Black an polished? I love mine that way [img] [img]
hah, I used to live in your neighborhood. (edit: went to look it up and I lived a couple blocks from 1100 EAST Prince Rd, not West. I lived...
What a complletely useless machine.
Its got to be that you are not keeping your valve open enough. do you have any Romex around? A piece of solid core should do it.
Ebay owns paypal, thus the reason they "require" it for "secure" payment. Getting ripped off is part of doing business whether its online or in...
First of all it doesnt look like your cam is point ing the right direction. cam should be pointing directly away from the shim at a 90° angle...
you may not be keeping the valve open enough. Perhaps a larger gauge wire would work a little better. While all 10ga wire should be the same...
Yikes! Those valves clearances are BAD! I suggest the wire method. Its quick and easy. Solid core or stranded core woks fine. I just used some...
And my original recommendation still stands. Sell the bike to someone who will take proper care of it and buy a moped. You are either too stupid...
looks like wear on both rings and valves but not to the point that it wouldnt run, and certainly nothing that points to #3 having significant...
my 83 seca came with the tour pack but is missing the left side pannier. please post up with price if you have one for sale.
yep, knew instantly what the issue was. I learned that lesson many years ago on my Ninjas. Now I carry a tire gauge on the bike at all times and...
...Im betting a cold beer you are wrong. Just do a compression test. It shouldnt take you more than 15-20 minutes. to do both dry and wet tests.
I always heat cycle my engine paint 2 or three times very quickly before I take a full ride. Paint, start motor for no more than a minute, let...
final attempt to sell this bike, before i motball her until spring. http://corvallis.craigslist.org/mcy/2602195266.html Will take $1000 no...

I used Duplicolor Engine Enamel (500° rating) primer followed by "Ford Semi-gloss Black". Ive only had one season on it so far but its seems to...
You need to pull the headlight out from the front. Once you pull it all out you will see where the adjuster knob threads come down and go through...
If your clutch cable is broken, then simply having the lever pulled in opens the swtich and allows you to start in gear.
They are worth precisely what someone is willing to pay for them, no more, no less. or as we say in the used car business, "There is an...
ATBATT! (all the beer, all the time)
ohh youve only played one class? and republic on top of that...bleh. Im thinking I want to roll a Sith Inquisitor (assassin). But Im definately...
I like the insulated wire method as well. Super fast and easy. For shim removal I pop it out with a screwdriver but use a small J shapped piece of...
What classes have you played? Which do you personally like the most? In WoW I liked being versitile and was pretty much a solo'r. That led me...
can you tell me anything that doesnt violate your disclosure agreement? (That I havent probably already read on the forums anyway)

screw WoW. SW:TOR announced for 12/20, with early access for pre-orders. I'll be there.
congratz. That gives me hope for my asking price.
you should HOPE they get their asking price instead of putting the guy down for trying. By supporting others selling their bikes on the high end...
