DragonRider Posted June 6, 2012 #1 Posted June 6, 2012 I received the carb diaphragms yesterday from Sirus, best purchase so far for the old girl. Took about 1 1/2 hour to change them out. Now I have to find someone with a carb tune so we can do that. Took her for a spin and I have to say, I had forgotten how good these bikes run. I actually thought it was running pretty good, but I was wrong, glad I decided to keep her. I had the most enjoyable ride so far today, only meant to go around the block but went around the county...........I was totally blown away, its like having a new bike all over again.
playboy Posted June 6, 2012 #2 Posted June 6, 2012 Wasn't any pissed off boyfriend when you got back was there.
Trader Posted June 6, 2012 #3 Posted June 6, 2012 I've checked my diaphrams for pin holes and haven't seen any...but it almost sounds like it would be worth changing them out "just because". I have a set I was going to put in when I completely rebuild the carbs over this winter. Maybe I should change them out now?
DragonRider Posted June 7, 2012 Author #4 Posted June 7, 2012 Go ahead and do it, you wont spend a lot of time doing it, the hard part was getting those 4 tamper proof screws out, but with a little tap with the hammer and a pair of vice grips they came right out.........I replaced all of the screws with allen head screws...........next time much easier.
