I checked the timing. It is in time. I also checked the valves, and they’re all in spec.

I’m going to check my timing in s few days when I get a chance to look at it. From there, I guess I’ll take it to a shop. I hate the idea of someone else working on my baby. But I’ve not messed with motors on these any.

Spark plugs are tight enough. With the carbs on, there is exhaust coming out of the far left carb. That area is where the noise is most apparent. What could that mean, or is it normal?
Sorry if these may be dumb questions. I’m still learning with these beasts.

My F4 was rattling, so I tried to adjust the CCT. It didn’t do any good for it, so I bought a manual adjust CCT. I got it on and everything this evening. Now my bike is making a strange knocking noise. It doesn’t sound healthy at all, and I don’t much like starting it. I got a somewhat decent video of it.

I’ve cleaned every connector on the bike I could get to without a tear down. I’ve checked every wire I could get to. I’m going to try removing the HID kit completely, ballast and all. See if that does any good. A guy at a local Yamaha shop (where I buy my tires and some accessories) told me he thinks it could be my regulator rectifier. I’m not so…[Read more]

cbrtom replied to the topic Carb Jets in the forum General Tech Discussions 2 years, 8 months ago
I was planning on doing the jets myself. I have done them on an old Yamaha I had. It was a 2 carb setup. My dad will be helping me, and he has had all 2 carb Harleys. I do not know nothing about syncing or balancing them though.

I’m finally getting around to ordering the carb jets for my bike.
It’s a 1999 600 F4. It has aftermarket Yoshi pipes, and a drop in K&N filter. It runs kind of funny, especially when on choke and cold. My buddies bike has the same things done to it, but with carb jets and his runs beautiful.
So what jets should I be running? How difficult are…[Read more]

That would be very slick! ^^ I’m a Ford guy, but nothing wrong with a nice old Chevy! Especially Camaro Convertibles!

My Pilot I had on, was worn down pretty good. I don’t like running tires like that on my truck, let alone my bike!

cbrtom replied to the topic Fixin to Buy New Tires in the forum Wheel & Tire Discussion 2 years, 8 months ago
So I ran into a problem yesterday. I noticed that my tire started to have wires showing in one spot. Then the tire busted. I had to have a tire right then. I found a bike shop that had my size in stock. It is a Continental ContiMotion. I figured, what the heck. Tried it out some yesterday, and been riding all morning (since 630am). I actually like…[Read more]

It’s not just the rpms that is doing it. The speed, RPM, or heat gauges won’t work. The odometer will sit on 1 and not count any miles. If I undo the positive battery terminal, then it will work. If I drive so the odometer rolls over 1 mile, and I shut the bike down, I have to undo the positive cable again to get it to work. I tried a new speed…[Read more]

Carbon fiber inserts? What do you mean?
I may end up trying a set out. I really don’t need a front tire, but I may buy one anyways, just to have a match. The one that is on it now, appears to have no wear on it at all.
