OK thank Kisa will be following the thread with great interest. I'm not that far along with my rebuild. Going with COP's since my bike is all apart.

My understanding is the passenger is supposed to cushion the fall of the bike, drop between bike and ground, so that there is no damage to said bike!!

I thought this is what you meant about taking a nap!! I'd say stay put for the passenger as long as they keep the feet planted on the floor boards.

Which end of the Forks of the Credit where you on? I know the area well. My father was born in a small village at the Forks of the Credit, just up from the big RR trestle that crosses the valley by the hairpin curve.

Guess I will be doing a rebuild on those carbs. Not because I have to, but because I already have the parts!! Was digging thru my spare new parts for the XJ and low and behold!!! A whole set of parts to do a COMPLETE rebuild!! So take that you Marcarl Gremlins!!!!!

Check with Marcarl for time, the ride starts at his place on Wednesday night.

Kisa I have a question regarding your 86 VR did you install the MAP sensor you purchased from Finland if so how did you install it?

OK, so all the red with the white stripe is the positive and all other colors are negative. So what we do is remove the connectors from the old coils and splice them onto the wires from the Honda COP's.

Take a good look at the light blue capacitors!! Make sure they are not lumpy, bumpy or look swollen in any way. If they are replace them!!!!

It's a snowmobile on wheels!! As soon as it gets cool out next fall Carl wont be able to keep it out of the fields!!!!! Maybe he should call it "Snow Flake" or should that be "Gold Flake".

Well I won't be doing no rebuild just removing the float valves and going to either replace them or take some fine sand paper to the edges and give them a rub.

The wurst thing is that when you get a stuck float valve needle on these XJ's is that all the gas runs back into the air box then into the breather tube into the oil. So now I have to replace the oil, oil filter and the air filter!!!! So now its going to take a few days or a week wait for the air filter. So tomorrow pull off the gas tank, pull the carbs, drain the oil. So that's going to be an all day job. But at least I'll have it all back together tomorrow night except for the air filter of course.

I couldn't believe what happened!!! I have had absolutely no problems with the bike since I did the rebuild on it!! The wife and I thought it was really priceless. Ben's basically blaming you for his carb problems and as soon as you guys leave my bike did the same thing. Talk about weird. it's OK you didn't invite me out for ice cream. You left the GREMLINS so I couldn't follow anyway.

Carl come back and get the GREMLINS you left at my house!!!!!! Carl and Ben came by and Ben was telling how since Carl's Venture had dumped gas allover the ground the last time they where going to come down his bike which had never done this before has started acting up and doing the same thing. They left my place to go get ICE CREAM at Long Point, of course they didn't invite me to come along. But I found out why!!! I started up my 83 XJ750 and while it was warming up it started dumping GAS and OIL ALL over my driveway!!! They came down to give me their GREMLINS!!!! I'll get even with them for this, mark my words. I have a MOTHER IN-LAW to leave on someones door step!!!!!!!

Gremlin Spawn!!!!!!

How about "Stinky" Carl and Wayne know why!!!!!!

I have the new TCI which wire from the old coil is + and which is - ?

Dingy I just picked up a set of COP's for an 06 Honda CBR1000RR for $25 will they work OK? I want to put them on my 86 VR.

Carl either eat more or get a butt transplant!!!!

How about, "Old Fart" .

Awwwwww.... and it was just starting to sound like it was going to be fun!!!

I NEVER drink and drive!!! And I do like a good drink!! I wont even go down to the corner and pick up the mail if I've had a beer!!!!

Ya Carl I thought it was you to at first!!!!!!

He could stop at Walmart and buy some MM's!!!

Well after reading it I went out for a lager poutine and a bacon cheese burger!!!
