Wow..... It's 7/6/15 and the bike has totally reverted to very hard starting. Runs great once started and still gets 75 mpg.
Just I gotta crank the crap outta it to get it to fire. I've changed nothing from yesterday and the day before. |
have you done a valve clearance adjustment? i did mine over the weekend and ohh buddy she is much happier. I think i need to go back in and recheck them, it took me awhile to figure it out and understand where the clearance is. No more high revs and is not ding when i idle. Also start up is a piece of cake. thanks everyone for the info !!

Now it's the end of 7/8/15 and it's easy to start again. Every time for almost 2 days.
I'm thinking two possibilities. 1) Some debris migrated into the carb and occasionally blocks a jet or passage. 2) Intermittent electric fault interrupting ignition. |

I'll bypass the seafoam though... I just love tearing down carbs for fun and cleaning manually. :shrug: :D Just ordered my Suzuki 20w50, 7/8 bar foam grips, new petcock and new clutch plates. The old foam grips were crap... My bad... :tdown: More fun coming :tup: |

Another reason for hand fatigue was my riding gloves. I bought some excellant riding gloves with padding and armor but they were just a tad short in the fingers that was really a bother. I did find that a pair of Red Wing gauntlets were very comfy. They had a light Thinsulate liner too. |
Bought bike with thin rubber grips. Functional but I didn't like very much.
Bought foam grips that looked like what I wanted but don't feel quite right: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o02_s00 So I ordered a style that I have not tried yet: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321745282358...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Wait and see if the new set makes me happier. |
