HondaCB650

I will be on the lookout for that one.

I had to drill the seat lock out to get the seat to lift up.There was a dirt dobber nest in there,plus a 12 year old battery.Put the key in the ignition,nothing. Jap junk battery I guess.Now the tank is off and full of vinegar for a couple hours.Have to work tonight and tomorrow but wednesday i will...

Did not know that.Very logical solution

A carb expert friend of mine is going to rebuild my carbs.He said to use replacement stainless fasteners(screws). Also I have seen allen head bolts for cases,covers,etc.Anyone know where to get these? I also just ordered some jis screwdrivers.Randakks site said not to use stainless, but instead use ...

In summary, in certain situations pods can be beneficial but overall, for street riding, they cause more problems than they cure. Pods look cool, they make carb removal and install much easier, but they are inferior to a well-designed air box. The manufacturers in the 70s and 80s weren't stupid, the...

no re-jetting is required, all I had to do was raise the needle one groove. The most important this is the velocity stacks (one of the problem with pod filters).

denton texas.I was working on getting a complete 650 shipped here from michigan.too costly.Then the next day I found 2 15 minutes from me.

I am excited.Just bought a used manual from amazon for $12.Going to get 2 more donor bikes tomorrow.one of them has good tires and a nice tank.That pays for them right there.I printed the manual here, but it is large, the small one will go with me wherever i go.

Thanks.The number 5 looks just like the suzuki ones.

Thank you.I did some more looking.Found some good stuff on internal links

I do not want to split the cases.If the cam chain and crank looks good I won't.But a suzuki gs is my only experience with engine rebuild.On those you use no glue ever.Not head gasket,cylinder base gasket,case split,nowhere.If you do it will leak oil.Also when the head is removed on those bikes a sma...
