    V Boost RPM adjustment

    The servo works fine, I feel the boost but it's coming on around 6400. Do I have to take everything off(airbox & carbs) or can I just take the airbox off and get to the adjustments from there?

    Devil is in the details - Carburetors!

    Since we're in carb review mode, ever since I bought my 93 around 8 years ago, I notice that even after I've done the carbs, once doing the rebuild kit (o rings and gaskets) I still get a very rich smells @ idle. They sync well enough, with a little flutter, but pretty steady @ 1,000. My buddy...

    Drain Fuel Tank??

    Thanks Fire-medic & MaxMidnight. What I did was disconnected the fuel pump from the harness, made 2 jump wires to connect the pump to the battery directly and pumped the fuel out from the pump. Pretty simple. Just had to be careful not to spark the jump wires so close to the gas tank. And...

    Coils

    I pulled my coils today after I was getting an inconsistent running sound and thought it maybe electrical. It was! One of my coils is bad. The other 3 have some cracking but they all test good. BTW, the Haynes manual says 2.4-3.0 for the resistence and mine are all around 3.9 Does this sound...

    Carbs leaking

    It seems Rhoy was right. 2 of the 4 drain screw o rings were cracked and the other 2 were hard. Had to cut 2 of them off the screws and the other 2 broke right off. Replaced all 4 and they look dry. Haven't ridden it yet. Could those have leaked enough to cut my mileage to the consistent 80...

    ????????

    MaxM, the butcher you sent has a few different fixes. Have you done this? And if so, which one? As I read the thread a few of the guys just put PC680's in and said the problem went a way. I'm thinking a few hours of work and getting to check and clean the starter and connections would be worth...

    ????????

    Had the battery tested today and they said over 200 cranking amps. Is that good enough for the starter? If not I think the next step is to check the starter. Thoughts?

    Carbs leaking

    Naughty, I just put a new fuel filter in it. Would that dust still get past? I'll check the tank as well. Thanks guys!!

    Carbs leaking

    I have a temp tank that I used when I did my XS11 carbs so I'm thinking I'll drain the carbs on the bike, pull the drain screws, check them to see if the o rings are there/good. If they are missing or bad, I'll replace them and see if that's it. If they're good, I'll hook up the temp tank and...

    ????????

    Checked the battery. Fully charged It showed 12.93. Cranked it and it went down to 9. Did the circuit fault finder and the charging system seems fine. 14+at 2500, 13.9 at 5000. Guess the battery is bad, huh? Some of the cells were down to minimum fluid level so I filled with distilled...

    Carbs leaking

    Ok, now it's getting a little crazy. I put new carbside intake boots when I saw the old ones wet with gas and they're still doing it??? #2 & #3 cylinder boots are all wet and I can see the bottom of those carbs are wet as well. I did a really good clean, shotgun + (soaked them all in my dunk...

    ????????

    Naughty, I put it on the Battery tender overnight so it has a full charge on it now. It always starts no problem when it's full charge. Should I do this test fully charged or ride it, get it hot and then test? Seems to me it should be in hot mode to do this?!?

    ????????

    All the lights came on every time I truned the key on, even when it wouldn't crank but when I tried cranking it the neutral light would go out. Just a thought.

    ????????

    So I took a after work ride and as I came off I-5 and I pulled up to the light, the bike idled down to stall. Tried to start it and it cranked a little and went dead. It's had a bit of a hot starting problem every once in a while. I did the r/r rewire and check last year and everything seemed...
