    This is probably already a thread somewhere but here’s a new one.

    Strange things found inside your bike where they shouldn’t be?

    So yesterday I was taking the carbs off my ‘81 midnight maxim 650 because they are probably should be thrown away they are nasty and anything that can rust or corrode has. Previously there was mouse nest in the air box if that tells you anything. While removing the boots from the air box to the carbs something fell out and yes I jumped like it was going to explode or gnaw my arm off. It was hickory and walnut nut bits packed in there. Great just great. DAE38F0A-3C01-4DC8-B9A0-02F83D8CC532.jpeg DAE38F0A-3C01-4DC8-B9A0-02F83D8CC532.jpeg

    You need to look at Hogfiddle thread "worst rack" to see how bad carbs can be and still be saved.

    It ran a bit squirrelly to tell the truth.
