    See this link below for pulling the collector out of the way. Once the rear down tubes are loose, you can get at the inner retaining nuts, for the exhaust port adapters. Why not change those head to adapter gaskets while at it, they are cheap & a PITA to get at. Check your other gaskets too. After all, how many times do you want to tear it apart, to seal leaks. To remove the rear down tubes competely, you can move the rear master cylinder & reserviour, or remove the rear valve cover to get the needed clearance. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1002

    Good, I just might do the US route, heading over to Ontario. Guess I'd better submit my leave pass this week.

    George, the puller I bought last year came with metric & SAE bolts in various sizes. If one size of the included bolts, can be threaded in more than a few threads by hand & not a sloppy fit, it should be fine. I am finding that my 95 Chev truck has a mixture of metric & SAE bolts / nuts on it (depending on which component I'm working on).

    A harmonic balancer remover tool, from an auto parts store works nicely. I pulled mine for a look last year.

    How about another update of batteries ordered, Jack???

    I was thinking more along the lines of a loose pin, where it could slide out a little, causing intermittant problems. Another possiblity is the friction plates could be sticking some, as well. But between us, we should get this nailed down.

    Not knowing your location in BC, I would recommend going through a lower mainland member, that is located very close to the border, paying his expenses in getting you 1 or more tires from southwestmoto (facility fee, border taxes, fuel & any additional shipping to get tire(s) to you). SWmoto ships free in the US for 2 tires, some members use a drop ship facility on the other side of the border. They then pick up, bring across border & ship to the needing member. Best way I have found to pay a CDN member is by online banking E-money transfer.

    Yup, as they are normally sold in packs of 2 bleeders, you will need to buy 2 packs.

    Same here, met them on Vancouver Island, a week before I attended Marcarl's meet. Glad it is not worse..................

    Same as doing the brakes. Yup, replaces normal bleeders, makes it much easier & quicker to bleed / flush the system.

    Mine is white too, but in the shape that squid showed in the pics. So, maybe a repair was previously done, with what was available....

    The plug is the right shape for a speaker connection.

    But then, the type of tank is not specified, it could be a storage tank of different types (including for home heating fuels). This will open it up for many more members. Cliff, you should be to be a little more specific, to clarify your pic intentions.

    18MM deep socket will do the trick, I normally use a U joint between that & the ratchet, to give just enough height.

    Yammer, looking at the left front carb, you should see a small brass tube sticking out at an angle. It is just to the right of the main diaphram & about same level as the lower cover screws, in the main body of the housing. If it is in this location, you should have 83 carbs.

    In a previous thread recently, there was a brace shown with slots machined in, to allow drainage from the bolt holes onto the surface adjoining the fork tubes.
