Carbs are full of voodoo. the pump that your R1 has is just a simple bi-diaphram with a coil and driver. EFI pumps are a bit more involved, and have much much higher operating pressure. I have a set of 03 R6TBs and the Map sensor is tied across the intake side using vacuum tubing. I've used a koso cluster before that used the sproket bolts with a hall effect for the speedometer.

FZR chat Check your vacuum/intakes. They tend to dryrot and cause leaks. Are all of your carbs equalized? simple poo poo. Is the vacuum test port plugged? fuel levels ok? Floats not sticking etc?

fuel levels. yay drunk postin'. FLOAT levels. Dammit. the main being off shouldn't do much of poo poo at idle, but having em not sync'd, that'll cause some stuff. It took me a while to get mine set on the 400/600 hybrid I had, but when I did get it, ohhhh boyyyyy.

Usually 1-2 plate batteries a year for me in the desert. AGM/lithium ones hold up muuuuch better.

you should have two. one for switched power, another for constant power. It probably goes through the same multiplug... unless its something aftermarket.

Armchair Calvinist posted:If they're Champions, it likely melted off. I don't think there's anything you can do. Same thing happened to my friend, just got a new (non-champion) plug and kept riding. This is what I'm betting on. but like Bugdrvr said, can't hurt to stick a mag on a stick in there. set the piston all the way at the bottom and you might be able to sweep the side of the bore.

If none of the other O rings are bad, just replace the master link with another O ring type. I'd inspect the master link pins for wear, high amounts: replace the entire chain. Theres O ring type, and X ring too. E: Never hurts to carry a spare masterlink either, I've broken a couple retainer clips.

stick it in second gear. if it jumps, run the gently caress away. If it has maintenance history, don't worry too much. no history? run the gently caress away.

1. replace that piece of poo poo. 2. probably a cold solder joint on the cluster or a weak connection in your harness somewhere. 3. uh..wha? I've never given a poo poo to oil stanchion tubes. they're plated.

Every motardy sort of bike here is insanely overpriced because they sell so few to begin with. Here I can get a new SM for a couple grand more than a used one. Why even bother with used at that point?

Crotch Fruit posted:My name is Crotch Fruit, I ride a cruiser, and I ask stupid questions. I am considering getting a sport bike sometime in the future if I can afford one, the first google result for "first sport bike" basically says you will kill yourself if you get a four cylinder super sport since they are finely tuned high RPM engines that will flip over backwards/forwards if you touch the controls wrong. I've logged a lot of time and miles on cruisers, will a super sport kill me? I think something like a Ninja 500 is probably better for me but I just don't know. The RC390 comes out in like 2 weeks. COME ONNNNN

Be careful with starting fluid too. I actually nuked a engine when I was a teenager using that poo poo. a little goes a long way. propane torches are what I generally use. huff it some gas and it usually will start. Chichevache You're in SoCal right?

If you want to ride, get something running and ridable, otherwise that thing is going to piss you off at every turn. Project + DD is the way to go. I learned the ultra hard way.

It'll just ride like a klr. I'd ride it, but I'd ride a lot of broken things. If it bottoms out, I proooobably would set the spring preload higher.

stator sounds fine to me. (they're generally delta wound) I'd be looking for a hosed connector or wire somewhere between the rectifier and battery. E: Shunt rectifiers also are kind of wonky with voltage handling if its cheap. Fets are a bit more consistent. cursedshitbox fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Aug 7, 2015 |

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:$690 + tax for a FCR 39 jetted with the kit/everything needed for a '13 DRZ from sudco in LA. Is that fair? Seems a bit high. For bolt and go? Its up to you. Are you ok with saving a few hundred and possibly waiting a few weeks while you wait for a part, or have to fiddle with bullshit on the side of the freeway when you realized you set the float height wrong, or the needle is too deep? FWIW, I'm $460 or so into my sudco fcr setup. intake boot + throttle cables + air box boot + carb + rebuild kit/jets. It took me 3 weeks to get it to where I could actually ride the fucker, and used a cv40 carb while I waited on parts. This is also like the same question, do I take my poo poo to a tire shop, or do it myself? buy a tire machine and a lot of scotch

You ride a drz that runs sometimes, I happen to own the same, and I'm calling bullshit on this. I'd say 60/40. 60% looking for poo poo that wants to kill you, and 40% wearing the right gear. Play more tetris and frogger until your eyes bleed and you can predict things going on 3 levels ahead of the level you are currently playing. I wouldn't run a diegrinder without a face shield, why commute with 2 ton piuses being piloted by owners playing with their texticle?
