The 33s are just too much carb for my 750. I'm looking for a straight trade, the 33s are in good working order, I expect the same....
Glad to see the airbox in the do not need pile. Youre gonna catch shit for it, but there are a few of us here on your side.
Id love to see an xj toss a rod.
Not all manufacturers use this chart for sizes. Check that you have Hitachi jets in the Hitachi carbs. I know a Dynojet #130 is not the same as a...
You're probably right. It's only been running great for 6 years with nice tan plugs, no backfiring, no problems. It should all go to hell any...
Stock jets. Colortuned and vacuum synced. and for sale. http://youtu.be/Q7yDiT0-Bq0
I have a cb750 and I dropped in cams from a cb900, with noticeable HP gains, and zero modifications. They've been doing this swap for years on the...
Get rid of the stock carbs and buy some keihin CRs, get a performance ignition like the Dyna 2000. Look into better cams too. I swapped stock 750...
Check that your exhaust studs are tight, if they're loose (or missing/leaking gaskets) it'll backfire and pop like that. Your carb insulators will...
About 1 1/2 gallon capacity. Ive had this Virago pushed up against the wall for a few years now, I really didn't notice the resurgence. This is...
No, but you said "By the way, sorry if my question sounds a little amateur hour. I am brand new to the bike world, but this is where my heart has...
That's 100% wrong. It's a matter of knowlege, patience and having the correct equipment, not luck. Some have had problems, and others have not....
One of the organizers/judges is a female, probably 6'1", 200+. She thought it was hilarious, and everyone that knows me knows it's there for a laugh.
Absolutely I am, over 20k without problems. Don't assume.
It's not luck. This isn't roulette. "I wanna change my handlebars, but I don't want to take the grips off". You want "trial and error"?...
Re: Louder Exhaust Rejetting is nothing to be afraid of. If you're not willing to learn to work on your bike, ride a stock bike and forget about...
Rick, I never agree with you, but today, I'll concede that your advice in this matter is 100% spot on.
Do you have a good seal carb to insulator to intake? Thats where the most trouble occurs. IIRC the #3 is static, you tune 4 to 3 then 1&2 then...
Too late now, but if you're planning on lowering the bike, it'll be a lot harder to get up on the center stand the lower you go, Mine is 3 inches...
1983 XV500, my build for the 2nd annual econobike build off here in Columbus. I won Best in Show this year with this bike, Peoples choice last...
Go for it! pods rock!
Are you talking to me? I dont need help, thanks though. My bikes run great without this makeshift mod.
I know. I have stock carbs with pods on my XJ, these CRs are for my CB.
[img] Problem solved.
Why would you need an airbox?
In its current state , I'll put it up against any 750 with confidence of a solid win in curves or on a strip (including RickCoMatics "razor edge"...
http://youtu.be/RqmvSDgweyI A short vid of the bike running (yes with pods) and a walkaround.
You're right, but the issue is more deep rooted than this thread indicates. In any case, gentlemen enjoy your motorcycles.
whatever.
For some of us running accessories other than stock, it HAS changed.
The thing is, Loren, this section is titled "modifications" and there are certain individuals who come in here specifically to tell people not to...
Me too.
And you'll preach to everyone how they cant be tuned to run in anything and anyone using anything other the manufacturers stock equipment is a...
I use Iridium plugs in every combustion engine I own and I don't regret it. Leaf blower, snow blower, tiller, weed wacker, Toyota 4runner, Ford...
I have a used one from a 1982 xj650. Lemmee check the condition. I'll sell it to you if its OK. My bike doesn't require this magical tuning...
You're exactly right i do not run a tach or speedo (presently) on my maxim, but I know it'll go to max speed without missing a beat. I had it 116...
Actually from 1050 on up
Ride over here and I'll make it run right with your pods.
Not cafe, but streetfighter. Looks alright for what it is, but too "youthful" for my tastes.
A centerstand is probably 3 lbs., probably less. Pods are great. I run them on all of my bikes.
There is a guy making adapter plates to put a rear 16" on the front complete with brake mount and plate for the drum side. I'm sure if you dig...
Wow, someone should get over there quick and tell him it can't be done!
Let's not forget that this is the "MODIFICATIONS" section of the forum. The guy is asking here for help modifying his bike. Perhaps there should...
Predictable. pre·dict·a·ble/priˈdiktəbəl/Adjective 1. Able to be predicted. 2. Behaving or occurring in a way that is expected. I...
Can't say I'm surprised at that response, considering the source.
Yeh, the hardest part is ignoring the people who cant get them to work.
Yeh... i think i'll go ride my pod equipped xj, with its stellar performance...
Zzzzzz
Wow is the pod debate still raging? sheesh.
And just to reiterate... I posted a video of my bike running, idling, revving etc. perfectly YEARS ago with pods and open exhaust. Now,...
