    never thought about hole in fuel line. hole in filter would do same thing. well just came in from changing fuel valve and filter same problem. no pressure after pump just atmosphere flow. I forgot to say ordered Honda civic pump looks the same if I remember tec write up says a little bigger around. some one figured this out before. hope it worked for them. been in this site for a long time. at least I can shut off fuel now. why plastic knob??? going to have to make a tool for on off turning or this one will end up the same. and on another note they had a pole and asked if anyone had reserve on bike. well it turns out I don't just cant read. it said fuel not res. could be glasses or big dummy wearing them. what is your vote... on second thought. took pump apart clean inside so that little diaphragm gave up probably. I ordered pump online one will surely show up .

    well ordered a fuel pump. took two days. went to pick it up they forgot to order it. ordered it again. two more days. woops sent it to wrong store. that's your local o o store for ya. take two more days. checked all other parts houses in area. only place local that could find right pic of one. all others want to sell straight through design. called local yama shop no one in usa has one but japan had 4 for 375. each. so do I wait two more days or order off of internet today and have it in two days. also in the tec section fuel filter 33011. had one on bike leaking where glued together. yama shop sold me a aftermarket filter for 4.95 its thick plastic and has a metal band on seam. cant run bike till I have enough fuel to keep up with draw. dies and fuel pump is hammering but not pumping enough flow to keep up.
  6. you might as well join. these guys helped me bring mine back from the dead. there are some really good tec articles and upgrades also and parts manuals repair manuals etc.
  7. don't know if you know. to operate the class compressor ign switch has to be in acc. put class in manual and dump all air out of front forks. and by the way class is slower than a snail have to hold buttons and wait. I run the front forks a 7psi and the rear at 70 psi. but the back is high as 2up all the time. since you just got your toy get seafoam in fuel quick. also there are drain hoses on each carb takes a Phillips driver to open.
  8. well mine is dead again today no forum:bang head:
  9. are you talking side to side or up and down. has a piece of faring gotten lodged by the neck because bike fell over or did you compress the forks all the way and there stuck.
  10. well I cant get on any forum either. top bar is there blank down below. so its not your computer. freebird out there

    carb adj

    well ordered a motion pro manometer hope it works don't have cash for a better one. I think tec write up will help do this as never done this kind before. only done British car duel carbs with 12.00 tool.

    carb adj

    well I ran the bike harder than I ever had. kept running better and better. then I ran it low on fuel on trip home. that is what started all this. well I changed the fuel filter it was time. replaced the other three coils. cleaned all wire plugs. removed yics. fixed fan relay. now the bike will start right up. when you turn off choke cant rev smooth. stumbles. need to set carbs never done this. don't have tool either. don't think I could ride it this way. any one close. also my eyes are burning after running bike a short time. after having all plugs in wiring loose cms display shows tail, brake, and brake fluid, and as always oil. lol my biggest problem is carbs. could only drain two carbs no water 5 grains of whathaveya. help
  14. anyone know of aftermarket pump and filter part numbers. looks like you have to take tire off. hope not cant get bike on center stand. cant pull backwards. let alone pull tire off. I got one coil off with out removing faring so I will try to remove it with tire installed.
  15. well i cant get bike to run with out full choke. wont rev sound like running on two. started to drain fuel bowls. number one drained couple pieces of sand out. number two hose is off screw is in so tight wont move. number three hose is off wont move stuck also. number four screw opened, no fuel, tried to put small wire in hose went in and stopped half inch in. reached behind holder there was a bulge. pulled hose out of holder well what do ya know a roller bearing is shoved in there. I spent good money to have them rebuilt a year and a half ago. my question is how big of a flow should I have with pump running. the two that drained seamed like a weak supply fuel. never stopped for fuel coming home from up north. problem started the next day. and pump is louder. so I got p*&^^ off going to fix all little problems. changed the other coils that I never bothered to change don't think they were bad. one wire had a white ring by coil. took every connector apart and added die grease to them if they showed green cleaned. took all non working cb parts out. did I mention replaced fan relay. added compressor for cheep horns. removed ycs vacuum tanks. found my rattle that started on long ride, back heat shield on exhaust. im not happy:bang head:

    no fan

    I replaced the relay. I can actually hear the fan run now. the relay had a red composite plug on wiring. and the wire colors you gave me are correct. green was coming from the relay. plug wire ends looked clean. I had bought some relays off flee bay. as no one bid on them so I got them cheep last year. good thing I did put three of them in bike. then bike would not run. lol. got one bad one, ign relay. blue plug. so put old one back in. I can hear the fuel pump when turning bike on. before had to listen real close. found and fixed dash rattle. prariehammer I wired the extra switch on the sensor, used splitter terminal. both systems still work. if it functions correct will remove switch. I hope it does don't like farmerizing. the best part rolled over 30,000 today im relieved its fixed want to ride not work on it. need to get highway pegs.

    no fan

    well bike was running warm in the small cities. I had added a switch to activate the fan ie. ground it. I cant hear the fan but switch seamed to work till today. stopped where im staying. shut off bike turned switch back on no fan. flipped the switch quite a few times then it would work part of the time I have about 137 miles to get home all highway should cool good enough to get home. any one know what the relay on the 83 looks like. none of them are in there rubber holders any more. any after market relays fit. want to get it fixed fast as want to ride with new friends if I have to will wire in a total wiring circuit temporary
  18. ran fine 139 miles the wing gust was 30mph according to weather man, rode straight north couldn't hardly keep her down. when riding west wind kept twisting my helmet didn't care for that. only saw one other rider. when I head back home should roll over 30000miles on od. o and I forgot best the fm radio ever worked.lol who knew just needed drown. I don't have headset just wally speakers:doh:
  19. didn't mean to derail thread just messing around with thoughts:yikes:
  20. well I will be lucky if the bike runs. been raining cats and dogs. I forgot my cover so its drowning right now. worryed
  21. I don't know if you can chose the route you want or do you have to take the ones it picks. the brand we have you have to hit detour and it gets lost recalculating
  22. so the calipers don't move away from the disc enough to make a difference to the fluid displacement. so there is a very small movement of fluid. so no difference to strokes.
  23. well I have a question. if you hook both front calipers to one lever the hoses must be the same length or the fluid will take the path of least resistance. ie one will take the fluid first. example if you hook two hyd cylinders to one valve together the ram closest to the valve will move first. is that kit out there making all hoses equal in length
  24. well going to ride around the Marshall town area. Friday after the storm goes through. I don't ride fast, like to gawk around and don't know the roads that well. 5 to 6 hrs worth of riding prob. any one want to join
  25. bryan would have rode with ya. interstate wasn't busy. and it was a fun time. think I have a little steering problem. but im not going to mess with it till winter. prob bearings in head and progressive springs
