Not getting fuel from float bowl to cylinder, that's the real issue. So you've tried priming it, and it starts that way? (for a few seconds) :idea: I had an 88 FZR1000 that wouldn't start unless you pointed a torpedo heater at the motor for about a half an hour before you tried to start it... Turne...

Chicagoland events this weekend?
Anyone know of any motorcycle related events in the Chicagoland area this weekend? The reason I ask is that I was headed south on I-355 earlier today when I noticed 4 or 5 sportbikes headed north that were being followed by a couple of motorcycle cops.... I thought, wow they are sure watching them c...

Well, I got it licensed and insured today. Cleaned it up, and took it out for a ride. It was supposed to be a short ride, just to get the feel of it, as today was nasty windy and chilly to boot..... 150 miles later I refilled the tank and finally parked it! :banana I'm chilled to the bone, and I can...

PM me your info and I'll send the headlight covers out to you FZRDude. I have to keep the windshield for now as I don't have another one to replace it, and there's a good possibility I'll keep it on the bike.... It's kinda strange.... Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld where the girl he was d...

Well, looks like I blew a seal in the tranny. I put 3 quarts of transmission fluid in it this morning, and it dropped right into gear. Drives fine now, but I've seen transmissions do this before. Sometimes they're fine, and sometimes they work for a week or two, then not at all.... Time will tell. W...

Well, I just got back from picking it up... All I can say is the photos don't do it justice... :banana It's not perfect, but I'd say 99.9%. The only flaw I was able to find was where the seat rubbed on the plastic. You can't see it unless the seat is off the bike. If it were sitting on a dealers sho...

I'm Baaaack.....
Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last visited. After I sold my FZR1000 things got hectic and life sorta got in the way. Haven't really been riding in a couple of years. But all that's about to change! :banana I just couldn't stay away. Check out what I'm on my way to pick up this weekend.......

Barney, Glad to hear you came out of it ok! :banana But, how do you T-Bone a car at 35-40 mph and walk away from it? I'd like to know your secret! I remember hitting a Ford Taurus with my wife's brand spanking new Toyota Corolla at about 35 mph. Got punched in the face with an airbag, and totalled t...

Nah, not looking for the absolute fastest bike on the planet. I just don't like the looks of the Kawasaki. My current bike is an FJ1200, which is a nice all around bike. So is the Busa, just a little more modern. (and yes, a LOT faster :D ) Illinois doesn't have a lot of twisties (none in my area), ...

Nothing dark about that! :D Awesome bike, and from what I read you got a great deal on it too! (I paid more for my 86 FJ1200) Now if you want to talk dark side, I'm thinking my next bike will be a Hayabusa! Not for awhile yet, but the more I read, the more convinced I am. It's hard to go Suzuki, I'v...

Dereku, I didn't know anywhere to post avi's so I put it on Megauploads.com. Upper right hand portion of the page it says "Please enter XXX here" then there is a box right next to it. XXX is whatever code they put there. In my case it was NRF. I just typed NRF into the box and clicked on the downloa...

Take a pic to prove it!
My best friend Jim, and his dog Bumper on my sons 500 Interceptor right after I got it running. Video ok? It's a crappy cell phone video, but it is proof.
