Looking to sell my Morgan Carbtune II, color tune plug and tool pouch all for $110.00 shipped. I only used it a few times, still in nearly new...
Yep, Evil RN. :twisted:
Got my plates in the mail yesterday... what do you think? BTW... I'm an ED Registered Nurse. If I hear the term "donorcycle" one more time,...
Re: Strat's 85 Maxim project In that very first pic, it looked like the bike was just standing there all on it's own, no side stand, nothing....
Wrap it with that special tape. Can't recall the name, but does give it a sweet look.
Looks to be in decent shape.. is it?
Nursepadawan and I will make the Grand Rapids to Metro Detroit Run.
Thanks Len! Ordered an oil pan gasket, oil sending unit O ring on Tuesday of last week, got it on Thursday. THANKS!! Fastest shipping ever!...
Wow! Nice looking bike! Love the extra long forks.
Re: Anyone else tried synching carbs with and w/o the YICS t I've heard applying oil to the tool will keep it from sticking but you certainly...
Of course. Do you know if the fuel indicator light goes out after a while, or is it supposed to stay on until you add more gasoline?
I'm still willing to do it... but let's get it done. I think the majority of the ride was covered here in MI. The longer we put it off, the less...
I was riding FauX yesterday, marveling at it's superb handling, it's agile maneuvering and snappy throttle response when suddenly, it started...
The one and only bike show I've ever ridden my bike to was a small gathering of local "enthusiasts" showcasing "custom" bikes. I decided to take...
Wow! I thought about buying a bike lift, but your idea is much better! Too bad the rafters in my garage wouldn't support the weight. I see your...
Yeah, it was a trick getting the exhaust off. No broken studs though! And you can bet I put anti seize on those threads... though I doubt I'll...
I hit the ground at 90 kilometres per hour and I only got a few scratches. Dale has a broken left foot, five cracked ribs, a damaged shoulder and...
I found a set of engine guards that came off a 1985 Maxim X. They need some work, but I was wondering if they would fit my 1985 xj700? (not an X)
Make the connection to the carb tight, but not too tight. The c-clamp they come with doesn't fit exact around the lip of the carb, and could cut...
Cover page!! The cover page! Done! This will be a 2 page, back to back motorcycle (specifically xj's) extravaganza! I plan to have...
Ive done a lot of work on mine, but am not sure I'd feel comfortable pulling the engine apart (at least not without having seen it done once or...

I'm surprised it ran at all! What do you mean the needles "look" broken? Are they bent? tips deformed in some way? Can you post any pics? JB...
Nursepadawan and I will ride from Grand Rapids to Metro Detroit area to meet up with Bigfitz, I think. "When" is the question of the hour, it...

I'm picking up the Grand Rapids to Metro Detroit area. I'm riding with one or two other riders. Here are my thoughts: The originator of the...
Only if you're OCD. :) Actually, it may just be some corrosion on the little screw on the inside of the cap. Or, it may be the beginning of the...
Well, the intent isn't to make the person relive the experience, rather, how other may learn to avoid them. If you could tell someone, a new...
Butterflies open and close easily? Clean? I washed the screws that adjust the butterflies down with carb cleaner, then applied some wd40 to...
Years ago, I wrote, edited, proofread and published a martial arts newsletter called FiST that ended up going to Scotland, Africa and Russia, as...
I know what you mean! I've helped a couple different people tearing their carbs apart, seems elementary. :) Let us know what size jets you have...
Well, the way I look at it, we're all in this together. You shouldn't have to break the carb rack down. In fact, at this point, I suggest you...
The R stands for resistor, which shouldn't affect the running of the bike. The plugs getting black though, that is a telling sign that something...
Check your plugs. Did you make sure you pilot and main jets are correct? I had almost the same issue with poor throttle response (wouldn't go over...
Did you ever figure out where your squeak was coming from? I've kind of narrowed mine down to the manifold side of the carb boots. Good luck...
We're all pulling for you bill. Get well!
I took a quick peek at mine but I did t notice anything amiss. I'll definitely look a bit closer though. ThAnks!
The gaskets were much thinner than standard gaskets and you don't need to use sealant. Just lithium grease. I don't know why you couldn't use...
I recently replaced all 4 gaskets and wondered about those o rings but chacal told me they didn't need to be changed. That's a possibility though...

From my research, I've learned that the xj700 carbs are very particular as to parts, and very few things are interchangeable. Plus, those carbs...
"The only real way to fix that is to order new boots that are the correct length and thickness. I went so far as to try adding electrical tape on...
MB- check out Youtube and search for dry ice dent repair. There are a couple of vids on the whole procedure. Of course, there was a vid for...
I like what you did with the tank... but the back end looks like it's missing something. Avoid gravel roads and newly tarred highways. Are you...
Just recently I noticed a squeak emanating from my engine (I think... could be the carbs, it's hard to tell) that increases in speed whenever I...
Seems like one's backbone might never be the same after riding it.
I have the 1985 Maxim xj700 and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with different types of handlebars. I'm not interested in apehangers,...
Make sure all your screws are tight on the boots (both airbox and mainfold side). Usually a hang means an air leak somewhere, and if it's hanging...
