Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on how to remove the carbs from a 98 RSTD? much thanks in advance.

I can't tell, but they look okay. I used carb cleaner to test and all responded with increased RPM.

Has anyone tried a spray sealer for stopping air intake leaks on a v4? If so, which one do you use? I suspect I'm going to have tear the carbs down over winter and likely replace the rubber at that time, but would really like to get the rest of this season in. Thoughts? Ideas? Much thanks

OK, so a couple of people said I should be running 87. So could the higher octane fuel I've been using be the cause of by decel backfiring?

So I like to run 94 in my bike, but here in the Cariboo the only company that carries the grade is Chevron and their stations are few and far between. So, I when I have to, use 91. Good? Bad? Indifferent?

If you mean on the unkown thingy, nope. It's solid, no holes, ports, nada, butkus, diddly, zero, nothing. It just is. LOL

Does the 98 RSTD have linked brakes?

How do I become a supporting member?

To the administrator, how long do I remain a "trial" member? I tried sending email, can't also tried to ad photo to a question I have, can't. thanks. Precious.

How do I upload pixs from my computer when I don't have an URL link? Trying to post a couple of pix of a piece that was in the saddle bag of my 98 RSTD because I have no idea what it is. Looks like a cover of some type, thought it might be for battery, but it's too big. Instructions say link with URL or upload, but I don't see anything that shows an upload link. Thanks

Much thanks. I got seven in the front and will check the one that had zero air in the morning to see of it's leaking. Again, thank you.

Okay, so I discovered my front shocks are air. Question, on a 1998 RSTD is the rear shock also air? I have run my hands over the full length of the shock and I can't feel nor see a valve. Am I simply missing it, or dumber than the POTUS?

As a followup, can I just bypass the ignition and install a toggle switch?

So i chose to post here in hopes more people will have answers or suggestions. As mentioned in another area of the site for RSTD, I have n issue of the bike just quitting. My question is could it be a faulty ignition switch? I have cleaned the carbs...TWICE, cleaned the kickstand switch, checked for air flow. I ask because after a clean 50 K trial run after putting the bike back together yesterday, with no issues, I went for a scoot today and it quit 6 Xs, twice it strted right backup on it's own, four times I let it rest and it started. I made it to the gas station and after filing up, it won't start, so I grabbed a soda and let it rest for about 15 minutes, much longer than normal. It would not start! I played with the key and it started right up. I made it about half way home and it quit. This time I didn't let it rest, I played with the key and it started. Thoughts?

Well here I go again. Getting scoot ready for a test ride to see if the quitting issue has been dealt with and now there's a new issue. While idling with the choke engaged I'm getting popping from between the heads below the carbs. Thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.
