    Looking for suggestions on converting a bike to straight pipe, and pod air filters.

    Steve may be a muffin deprived hornswoggling bushwacking no-account but he's an awfully nice guy so we'll keep him.

    Looking for suggestions on converting a bike to straight pipe, and pod air filters.

    Check your valve clearances if you're rockin' a cherry red header. That's totally not groovy. You'd have to tune the bike to get it to run right with straight pipes, then when you put mufflers back on you'd have to re-tune again so it doesn't sound very productive. The tuning on these things is...

    Old School riding video (how to)

    Seriously specialized skill. He doesn't appear to have been especially skilled as far as street riding goes. He could ride wheelies and jump cars for days. I've seen a few foot dabs and balance/control faux pas in clips.

    Old School riding video (how to)

    I was expecting to see such old chestnuts as 'when to lay it down'. I was pleasantly surprised. Knievel wasn't much of a rider but his safety gear advice is good.

    Bike won't start ! Yes, another one

    Great news, so obviously you're getting fuel in there. A good carb dipping and attention to air intake will give you piece of mind, for sure. But don't worry, you can have a running bike and still be crazy. Just look around you at your new 'associates'. lol

    Bike won't start ! Yes, another one

    You never know about them varmints. I had a 550 that I was trying to make run. I'd cleaned up the air intake, moved on to clean the carbs etc, and the thing would NOT run. Going over all the things I could have screwed up in the carbs, looking at ignition, the whole works ya know... it turned...

    Bike won't start ! Yes, another one

    It sounds like 1) gas is getting to your carbs. 2) gas is not getting to your cylinders. Therefore either a) there is not enough vacuum to pull gas into the cylinders or b) there is something blocking the gas from being pulled in OR not unlikely c) both. FUEL Did you dip the carbs and clean...

    Muradic acid time :-0

    I got a snootfull of vapors once, knocked me right on my asgard. It felt like it was tearing my sinuses out by the roots. I used vinegar in my tank with great results, but it wasn't very far gone to start with. Not sure but I'd think Muriatic acid would work much faster, the vinegar does its...

    How to Install Ignition Coil Properly

    You guys are lucky I didn't ask the question because I would have called them 'the two thingies'. I'm thinking probably not on hooking both plug leads to one coil. If your bike has two single coils it's probably so that they both send juice at different times. A single coil with two thingies...
