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

@dubv has got my vote!

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.

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]

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.

Miss my F4 and love his, so I am going with @cbrtom

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

Definetely going to have to be a 67′ Shelby GT500. Always have been a Mustang guy!

Not going to vote for myself, so it is:

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!

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]

Sorry! I did not read the thread completely, and I was unaware my photo did not go through.

The post is corrected now. Thank you!

Hey @cbrtom – Welcome to the site! Post up if you have any questions.

CLOSED. Sorry a bit late (as usual.. been super busy).. posting late voting thread now and will post new BOTM for next month asap. @cbrtom edit and fix your picture asap so I can post voting. I was late so you can still get in. Will post voting tonight.

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.
