Will radiator hose actually work? Inside the OEM boots is a pinch point im guessing to restrict airflow, you wouldnt have this in a radiator hose. but that would be great if it did. Im going to try the wintergreen oil and see what happens. Any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks Edit - foun...

Okay so while i was separating the top and bot end, the bot end came loose as well I pushed it back down on to its pins but it did break free. there is no oil leak at the bot end or wasnt anyway and I was suggested to leave it be if it didnt leak. is this still the case even though the bot end was s...

okay so i went and done something stupid.. I removed all of the bolts to the "engine head cover" and wasnt paying attention that there is 3 different sizes... any idea of the lengths and where they go? also there was silicone crap on this cover over the old dried rubber gasket should I rea...

Couple questions: 1. my Athena gasket set came with ring exhaust gaskets like what ive used on other bikes but taking this apart there wasnt any just two halves of a wedge. is this the gasket and does it need replaced? 2. what is the easiest way to remove the carb assembly 3. are those aftermarket s...

You urgently need: 1. a manual (see e.g. link in my footer) 2. a small enough torque wrench (that works properly in the 10Nm-40Nm range) - Good stuff - Good stuff - Good stuff Read the manual stuff a few times before you start. Then you know what you are going to deal with. Even I would still do th...

This will be the first time i rebuild the top end of a honda bike. im sure its no different than anything else but i wanted to make sure. I got an athena gasket kit which i was told is garbage but it was only by one person, any comments? ok so can someone point me in the direction of head bolt patte...

can a bad battery make it look like that R&R is bad? R&R showing over 15v at 3k RPMs swapped it out with another R&R (used) it also is giving me over 15v at 3k RPMs

Sorry i havnt replied, ive been waiting out schooldageek as he is coming to help me sort out the problem first hand. ive gone through 3 sets of cdis trying to figure this out. on the first 2 sets the cdis got extremely hot melting the goo and even blowing solder out one of the times and blowing the ...

@80chopper grommet is fine and i think its just for vibration purposes anyway.

i removed the complete harness from pulse gen to the cdi found no burns pinches or shorts. is there any way a bad pulse gen would short the cdi? if so can i test them?

well the time it did blow the main fuse was when the cdi got hot enough to melt solder and blow it out through the "goo" so i would guess an electrical component getting that hot is shorting itself. I have done allot of tests with key on bike off and have failed to blow the fuse again so I...

I am the new owner of this bike, the problem first started while i was riding bike completely shut off with no power and i noticed smoke under the seat. the black goo the covers the back of the cdi was smoldering, after pushing the bike 1/2 mile home i gave it a once over and notice the main fuse wa...
