are you going to drill the slide vent or just do the jet kit?

Guys, how do I find motorcycle groups to ride with? No one who will make fun of my 78 honda 400 twin. I just wanna ride and don't know where to look.

Still taking questions on the bike.

Previous thread had someone looking to buy the cafe racer version of the bike.

>>15675287
try advrider forums, thumpertalk, vintage bike forums or just find some guys from here to hoon with

>>15675279
I probably won't do the slide vent. I haven't really read up on it.

theres a small hole in the slide adjacent to the needle well, if you drill a second hole on the other side to match you get a faster throttle response.
youll need a smaller bit than the kit came with.
if you do the vent go super light, the plastic is a glass-nylon and it flakes if you drill too hard, not a problem just looks ugly

Second bike I've owned.

(0) Rode a Nighthawk 250 for the MSF Class.
(1) Bought an 84' Nighthawk 650 for my first bike.
(2) 14' Bolt has been a great second bike. Learned I love v-twins and will probably stick with cruisers.
(3) Already want something bigger though. Bolt is great everywhere but on the freeway over 60mph. Too vibey. Gotta find something to hold me over until I buy my dad's 09' Road King or win the lottery and buy my dream bike (pic related).

>>15675320
Interesting, thanks. I'm OK with how the throttle reacts right now, but I may just do that down the line when I have the carb off next.

>>15675404
if you have any Qs on the kit let me know i might be able to help out.

>>15675433
coat all the screws and orings in motor oil when you get it apart to help it go together good and not seize up later on. itll smoke and stink when it first fires up.
and pull the pilot jet and choke out and blow out all the passages while you have it out.
if your airscrew is loose like mine is put a dab of silicone sealer or blue locktight on the tail end of the threads so it wont move on its own

>>15675382

For a DR where torque is king I suggest trying the kit without drilling first. You can easily drill afterwards.

A much better way to rebuild carbs is use a light dab of anti-seize on threads, and a light wipe of vaseline on O-rings. Neither drools or attracts dust. Anti-seize (a jar lasts most people a few years) is available at any auto parts store.

Anti-seize any fastener you don't Loctite. (I never Loctite carb parts, too small.) Dry threads are the devil. I've taken apart fasteners I anti-seized thirty years ago with no problem.

>>15675287
Facebook is a good start.

Silvery brush-on like Permatex or generic. If you score some nickle or copper marine anti-seize that's even better.

Milk of magnesia works are was used in jet engine hot sections.

I always anti-seize exhaust bolts and hardware, and I use clear RTV to seal pipe/head joints (wipe some on the gasket) and downpipe/silencer slip joints if the pipe is on something where staining matters.

Are your carb spigots snugly in their happy and supple rubber boots? All vacuum lines happy and supple?

Take your time. Learning carb-fu is fiddly but eventually you will be high-test and potent, able to field-strip your baiku in a rainstorm under artillery fire with a dull Leatherman.

Describe precisely what you did. Having to use the choke to idle indicates low speed circuits didn't get clean of perhaps an air leak.

Syncing is not idle adjustment.

If you like rum, it's good. The Private Stock version is smoother and has a slight buttery? taste over the regular stuff. Kraken's good if you like something a little more "harsh."
I can deal with the early-90s slightly rounded headlight, but I have always had a thing for 80s-styled cars and motos.

Kinda smeary but it does work. I grab whatever jar is closer and have da nickel and copper too.

I've done thousands of fasteners including all the bolts on my steel building twice (I tore it down and moved it) with the silver herpes and only had to clip three or four fasteners which I'd probably crossthreaded during assembly.

Oh wow, I have done the same route but it wasn't nearly that lush! It was kind of at the tail end of the monsoon season and Timberon and South didn't get much rain. If you go further on 506 eventually parts of the "road" are just gravel washes like you see in Afghanistan.

Parts of E001 you just ride up the riverbed/wash which I was worried would be impassable since they have been getting rain like crazy in the mountains this year. It was mostly dry but fuck those river rocks with street tires. My backup plan if it was washed out was just to ride up 506 to Pinon and back to 54.

Funny you say that, it was actually worst right off of the highway. Got a bit smoother near that range, I figured the military must keep parts of it groomed.

The biggest thing to remember that I kept almost screwing up yesterday, if the front starts to wash out on sand or rocks, throttle out to pick the front end up. Almost rekt a couple times in sand, will see if I can get webms I still have to scrub the footage.

Fuck off Jared

Are there any bikes that are significantly faster than a ZX10R/R1/GSXR1000? The reason I ask is because I currently ride a 600 and when I first rode it, I was scared but that feeling dwindled quickly. I want to be scared again but I don't know if these traditional liter bike are going to be enough, so I am considering something faster like a Hayabusa/ZX14R/S1000RR. My concern with these is the massive size of them kind of diminishes the returns on the higher displacement and it ends up not being that significant of an upgrade

What do you guys think?

I may or may not have cross threaded an engine bolt while installing a frame slider. Bolt started off kinda tight, then got tighter, then got loose, but then tighter again. I took it out like twice, on the third try it went in pretty smoothly. Will my engine fall off now?

Hopefully you only jacked up the first few threads. At absolute worst, you can get a tap for the size and pitch that the hole is supposed to be, use a little cutting oil on the tap, and gently clean up the threads.

Apparently it is "Candy Napoleon Blue." That's as bad a name as "Crystal Blue Metallic" on 2nd gen Miatas. Still like the actual color though.

>>15677177
I would have but the bolt sat pretty deep in the slider. Either way, it's in there pretty good and tight now and didnt take too much force to get in the last time

>>15677188
Quick question: Was there any threadlocker residue on the bolt when you took it out? That would explain the resistance. If the bolt is set deeply into the slider, I kind of doubt crossthreading would be all that easy to do.

>>15677200
Yes, yes there was, both times i applied blue loctite and there wasn't really enough time for it to set so there was indeed residue in there

>>15677180
yep that's the one, thanks

>>15677208
well thars your problem.
You have to really force a bolt in for it to be cross threaded.

>>15677242
If it is cross threaded it will be near impossible to get out without drilling/tapping the bolt then you will need to re tap the hole and just use a slightly larger thread size on the new hole.
If it is not cross threaded you will be able to turn the bolt and it will come out.
Seriously you would need at least 15nm of force just to turn a cross threaded frame bolt.

Well. This Monday got interesting. There wasn't a cop car, just FD and an ambulance; my neighbors are in their upper 40s so I really wonder what happened.

So my fairings are cracked and the tab is broken off. The crack runs from where the tab was down.

Tab is still snapped onto the bike so.
Gonna snap it out, apply ABS cement to every part that should be connected, duct tape it all together on the outside, then tomorrow take the tape off (cement should have..cemented by now), then duct tape the inside.

Will this work?

It sat for a year or two before the PO got it and who knows beforr that. It only has 13k but it probably needs rings and valve guides/ seals. Also fixed one leak and another gets worse. I don't mind feeding it oil but rubber is probably all dried out and the engine is dirty af so.. once I get another ride I'm gonna rebuild the head, do the rings and reseal it all.
