    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Looking at one, not because I want another bike to keep, but to flip. Its an 18 year old who doesnt want to work on it, i say that because he says it needs a carb clean and the tank cleaned but hes selling it stupid low. All i asked is if all the plastics are there and if theres a title, he hasn't answered or seen it but I was gonna offer him a grand. The thing runs he says, I know I'd be stepping into new territory with it being liquid cooled and also chaindrive, is there anything new to look for when inspecting other than the obvious coolant and oil mixing making blueish smoke.

Not buying before my bike is done but I have high hopes it is once I get back my choke plunger, got told the rubber was more like plastic.
 
Also a guy that lives close to me has a gpz900r that's been sitting for a while, he got it out of storage but never worked on it, I'm gonna have to stop by and talk to him about it and based on what he says and how he talks about it I might offer to take it off of him for a good fee. The thing is, it's been sitting for quite possibly decades, I'll have to talk to him.
 
The carbs on the CBR are easy to remove being downdraft. However, getting to the clamp screws can be a bear. You need a long screwdriver and there are holes in the frame to get access to them. The regulator rectifier on these are notorious for melting. Upgrade it with a SH775 and Triumph harness.
As for the Ninja 900, for sure give it a compression test. Some have bad valves

We sold my son's 1991 CBR600, running and with all its bodywork for $1000. I'd offer the kid $500 and negotiate.
You can get replica bodywork from China
