Infant Tylenol works great too. Good luck, it will pass.

I believe mine is just the oil as well, but I will confirm when I get home from work.

I'll do the same with RTV then, thanks. Makes me wonder what was done if someone was in there already, because that's news to me. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm replacing the stator on my 85' and had a question and thought I would also share the pictures to add to all the awesome reference already on this site. Is this normal? Seems like some sort of coating. Original stator. Gasket hadn't been cleaned off the case yet. Close-up of...

added Bothell, WA (just outside of Seattle)

Interesting...thanks for the info. I've put about 200 miles on it since starting it for the first time(September) and I still get squealing on idle, but it's definitely not as notable as it was the first few starts. I didn't even think to smell the exhaust, I'll need to do that. I'll email...

How long does it take, normally, for the engine to heat up? I'll let it run for a solid 5 minutes and the temp needle will move maybe 2cm. I took this video after shutting off the engine. Is that amount of smoke normal? I understand that there is probably some exhaust gases that didn't get...

Haven't gone for a ride yet, the weather has turned sour. Haven't noticed any issues from running it in the driveway. Here is a video of her running for the first time in 9 years. Carbs haven't been synched yet. There is a higher pitched noise prominent in the video(you'll know it when...

WOOO! Not sure what was going on, BUT SHE LIVES! I pulled her out of the shop and just tried starting her up and she came to life like there was no problem.

Coils are going to the right cylinders and all the connections seem to look good. Does anything need to be done with the idle screw? Right now its set so that the throttles are closed all the way. I'm going to re check the gaps on the spark plugs next.

Thanks, I'll look into this tonight. I'll take some pics of the connections and post them here and someone can tell me if they are correct or not. Or maybe someone will notice something else that is not correct.

Tried to start it again Sunday afternoon, sitting overnight from previous try. This time there was a super loud(ear ringing) bang from the rear end. I immediately let go of the starter, not only did it startle me it scared the crap out of my son who was playing in the yard. I know the...

Update: Got the battery charged and on the bike. Fuel in the tank. Turned the key to on, all the lights came on, horn worked and battery was ready 12.5V and vboost did it's thing. Tried starting it and it turned over like a champ, but no start. Tried it 3 times for about 3 second each time...

Sorry it took so long to get more pics. Here's one with the carbs back on. For an update... Got the exhaust back on and picked up a battery the other day, which is now charging. I went with the larger battery and modified the battery box to accommodate the larger battery. Waiting an...

Update: Ordered the collar that I need for the wheel. And bought a Motion Pro Syncpro for synchronization. In the meantime, I put the carbs back on last night but didn't have my phone with me to snap a picture, will do that tonight. That went smoothly for the most part. And screw the...

That's what I need! Thank you very much. I never thought to look at that diagram. Yes, I checked there multuple time to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Again, thank you everone.

New tire was put on. I've run into a problem with the wheel. The manual mentions there is a spacer that sits between the wheel and the brake caliper bracket. There was no such spacer on my wheel. There is no mention of that spacer in the factory manual, unless I was looking at the wrong...

Here are a couple pictures of the workspace. It's not a garage, but the closest thing to it. It looks like a little chaotic, but it's organized caos. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] Carbs have been torn apart, cleaned and are back together ready to go back on. [/URL][/IMG]

Thought I would start my own thread where I can post progress and questions. Here is the post I put up in the new member section: Hello all, I joined a few months ago, but haven't introduced myself yet. I've spent these last few months reading the abundance of information this site has to...

85' bought in August 2012, 12,000miles. $1500. Bought not running, carbs were off and needed to be cleaned and rebuilt.
