The tank was never lifted. Don't have a laser temp gun. Saw a video for checking the resistance of the ignition coils on youtube. Does it work in the same manner for our bikes. I suppose I could siphon all the gas out of the tank and put in new gas. Though I don't have any reason to suspect the...

Bump.

Went to ride the bike a couple days ago. As soon as the bike started it was sputtering. As I rode it for a couple mins at maybe 20km/hr it was a jerky/shaky ride. It was reminiscent of how my car felt when one of the spark plugs had gone bad (although the bike was more muted). So I parked the...

I got this TourMaster rain suit a few years ago for a long multi day bike ride. Didn't end up needing it, and it has been sitting since. Size Medium Selling for $20

What is the size/type/part# of the dual filament bulb used in the tail/brake light on the gen 2 Fz1?

Any local LA/OC biker wanna split the difference on a Sena 20s. Ends up being roughly $175 per Sena 20s headset compared to a single unit at $220. (That's a $45 in savings). Amazon.com: Sena 20S-01 Motorcycle Bluetooth 4.1 Communication System with HD Audio and Advanced Noise Control...

I have never lifted the tank. But maybe the previous owner did. Though not sure why he would have a reason to at 1500 miles. I visually inspected the lines without lifting the tank, and did not notice anything. But I will look up how to lift the tank and check. Btw you mean the fuel venting...

Sorry to revive an old thread. I adjusted the idle after riding the bike about a couple weeks ago, and that did not help the hot/warm start issue. Any other suggestions? Bike always starts cold on first try in the morning. At lunch after it has been sitting out it will never start on the first...

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I have issues with Hot/Warm start. Bike always starts cold on first try in the morning. At lunch after it has been sitting out it will never start on the first couple tries. I have found that giving some throttle to and hitting the starter eventually...

Just plugged the tire with mushroom style plug. Though there is a bit of rubber missing next to the plug. Seems to be a surface thing. Havent ridden the bike yet. Didn't see water bubbles at the plug areaeither. Going to see if the pressure is maintained. Though I am of the mind that I...

Totally missed these post since there was no traction on it for a while. Am still looking for the rear assembly and turn signals.

Guessing I would need to replace the front tire as well if it is a different brand/compound rear tire. Is this the mushroom plug you mentioned? Amazon.com: Pocket Tire Plugger: Automotive I might trying to do it myself. If it works, than I have the rest of it as a kit to keep in the bike. If...

I did ride it a couple miles to get home on the flat tire at 20 miles an hour. Given the fact that the tire needs to come off the rim and the labour time to patch the tire. Might just make sense to get a new tire installed instead and have the price of mind.

2100 miles on this rear tire and today I got a puncher from highway riding. Is this tire a write off or something that can be patched off? Also, are patched tires considered safe? Or are they likely to blow and/or repunture. Looking for advice from people who have had a punchered tire...

Bump. Thanks :)
