Nevermind I found the link for Buckeye thanks anyway
-
I understand I'd like to find one too.

Oh, that makes sense. I guess that also explains why on my 87 all carbs were equally dirty since that bike has a lean stand on both sides.. When you say banana:banana:/ :cool10:twinkies are you referring to that bent rubber tube that goes from the crankcase through the carb bank to the air box that is a royall pain in the *** to hook up when reinstalling the carbs? Yea I guess an old dog :backinmyday:can learn new tricks after all. The problem is that to fit new stuff into my head I have to discard some old stuff. And kinda like my shop I hate to get rid of anything because I know as soon as I do I'll end up needing it.

I cleaned up the slave cylinder as good as I could before I realized that the piston walls were pitted up to bad to be usable so I guess I need to get a new one. Anyone want to buy a brand new rebuild kit. Do you have a link to the vendor that had the new part for $64.00 local Yamaha dealer wants $80.00
-
Dan, Just curious what you meant because I noticed that the carbs on the left side were a lot dirtier and greaserir than the carbs on the other side and I'm not sure why.

"I Gotta Quit Doing This!" or "Don't Forget Your Gremlin Bell!"

I feel your pain Todd :sign **** happens: -
Yea Condor I caught the link on Speed Bleeders, Thanks alot, They look like the bomb. I'm gonna order me some of dem. No, the other reference was about ultrasonic cleaners. which may be more bucks than i want to shell out for this project at this time. Guess I just try to soak carbs and cleaning manually.

Germany may be a little far for me to come borrow yours, Where would I get some info on a company that sells them in different sizes?
-
Oh I get it :doh:

What good is that if every time you use the clutch it spitts brake fluid all over your engine?

Dragonslayer replied to 86er's topic in Watering Hole
OUCH, Todd I'm glad your not hurt. I hate it when scrapes likes yours, I get in. When the reality of physics and pavement mixes in. Then there's that guy called gravity. who beats my ass with regularity. For God's sake put the gremlin bell back on. New name "CloseCall" -
Good Idea :thumbsup2:I used to have one that I cleaned jewelry in before it overreved and fried itself. It did a great job on jewelry but, the little tub was way to small to soak a carb body in. I wonder where you would find one with a bigger basin?
-
Looks cool :cool10:but, :icon_smile_questionwhat keeps the little ball valve from opening when you depress lever an spitting fluid out?
-
Yea I got one, if you mean the chrome bumper on the 86 and up Venture Royale. I was planning to put it on E-bay

I am Experiencing Site Slowdowns and Lock-ups
Dragonslayer replied to V7Goose's topic in Watering Hole
Me too, I've been having more frequent slow downs and lock ups . Tonight it took me about 45 minutes to get on the site good before it would work. At one point I got a memory error message. -
I cracked open the carbs today and the only thing I can say is that there is Good News and bad news. The good news is the diaphrams seem to be in good shape with no apparent pin holes. The bad news is the interior of the carbs are completely corroded with oxidation, varnish and signs of rusty looking water. :bang head::bang head: I started soaking the carb bodies by submerging them in seafoam. Does anyone have any better suggestions for cleaning totally gunked up carbs?

I Totally Don't Know What This Is But I've Got To Have One. Where Can I Get One Or At Least More Info?

I've been told by a reliable source (GeorgeS) that YOUDAMAN when it comes to bleeding and repriming the clutch system. I'm keeping that in mind should I run into problems repriming.

Does this bike make my butt look big? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
-
I have one of the systems although a littler larger version that doesn't work with a dern. In spite of the intimidating name B.B. for Biker ***** the only thing it does when activated is lick you to a slow death.

When I removed the left top front fairing there was a wad of Dirt Dabber's nest attached to the radio amp. Definite proof the bike has been sitting to long in one place. Also indicated by the amount of corrossion in the master and slave cylinders of the hydralic clutch system. Carbs before and after exterior bath.

Can you tell me if there is a post on rebuilding the clutch master and slave cylinders. I'm not sure how to crack them open to replace the parts. I tried to search the subject and got over 500 results all of which seemed unrelated. I'm wondering if search feature is working or if I'm doing something wrong.

I just tried to search a specific subject (Rebuilding the clutch master cylinder) and got 500 results that all appeared to be unrelated. Making me wonder if search feature is working.
