Re: Old VTR, new motor

Welcome aboard Adam :thumbup: Sometimes the front engine mounting bolt can be seized in the engine mounting points, but hopefully with your bike being in a drier climate than us here in the UK yours will be okay, Chris. The environment the bike lives in makes a world of difference. Here in the US t...

Re: Jet recommendations / carb work

I do agree that it sounds like the carbs are not fully seated. You can looking in from the sides and visually check if they are seated properly. :thumbup:

The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems like she’s doing fine, but ...

Re: Jet recommendations / carb work

It is supposed to go to a valve mounted on the bottom of the air box which feeds air to the valve covers....just get rid of it all. Also if that was left open , it was a big vacuum leak which also added to the popping

Re: Jet recommendations / carb work

The pilot setting was most likely from looking at the spec for a bike with 48 pilots, T he mystery hose is from the PAIR system. It should run from the black plastic bit then to a "tee" fitting and the to the vacuum port on the carb. It gets lrft in place and plugged as you need to remove ...

Re: Jet recommendations

Re: Jet recommendations

The pops and bangs on decel can also be caused by a lean setting on the pilots. Check what the settings are and what size pilots you are running. I generally set them up with #48 pilots with the pilot screws around 11\2 to 2 turns out as a starting point. Now for mains and needles. It is pretty comm...

Re: Main swing arm pivot bolt help!

As there’s nothing attached to the other side, anyone know why Honda didn’t make the nut on the RH side, which would’ve allowed removal of the brake unit very easy.
