[actungbaby]

Hi I was going use petrol to soak carbs in.honda say not
Use caustic based carb cleaner
what do u use . Just got
home compressor.
Thanks in advance

I have noticed that Yamaha carb cleaner has had very good reviews over the years. No Idea if you can get it or even find a Yamaha dealer in NZ .......

Supercheap is bound to have a can of XXXXX brand carb cleaner!

Thanks allan

super creep do have a reasonable can of carb cleaner...i think about 13$...bought some last week...if you strip all the fragile rubbery bits out and spray clean or soak the jets and bowls before cleaning up with something less chronic you should be sweet...
and careful with the cleaner, your air compressor and your eyeballs...it freakin hurts like a bastard when you catch a stray drip bro...
good luk

Thanks yes i probley still get myself in the eyes i had suffric acid dilluted in the eyes at
work . bleach . u name it hehe

i usally just soak jets in petrol done that holes blocked on in each main jet at the end .
done that , do i have to take cv diaprams rather not. as save cost new seals.

i never found cracked one yet but dont want damage them with compressed air.
i usally just blow the carbs with me gob.. but never had bike that didnt idle so assume

need smething bit more . i be tempted soak whole thing as submerged , but dont have

big enough contanier not going to seprate them. any tips be good.

as i said i cleaned xl 100 , xr 200 carbs just not multi cylinder jobs.

thes have plasic slides so something be carefull of not damaging .

thanks for your help guys

bro just chuck a handful of VERY FINE sand in the airbox, it'll slowly draw through your carbs, like sandblasting the inside of your engine but Heaps easier.

[ducatilover]

The cleaner PineSol works well, just soak 'em over night
Carb cleaner and compressed air works well
Ultrasonic cleaning is best

Use a magnifying glass to check your jets etc when re-assembling and make sure your hands are clean.

[actungbaby]

Yes hear ya about clean hands.
got hose missing ,(keep clean )
From intake top carbs cv part.
so whould taken dirt from there.
I lost little orings that go pilot

availble. assembled tops today.

good luk with your carbs...:scooter:

[ducatilover]

I think I have some orings for the pilot screws somewhere ;)

If you're having problems with the diaphragms seating, use something to hold the slide up a little to take the tension off the rubber

[unstuck]

Stick your finger up it, the carb throat that is. And hold the slide up a little bit while you put the cap back on.:2thumbsup

nah something is wack with the 97/98 fireblade yearing in NZ.. the 98 blade is next gen, diff fairings n stuff to the 96/97 RRV which is the only one to have the double slots in the tail, the 98 one has diff instruments.. diff fairings and shape, honday prob fucked with heaps of stuff for the revised model. but for some reason there seems to be 98 bikes here registered and listed as 97 bikes.. or something.

I often got what they told me were 97 parts from honda dealer which were not for the RRV but for the next version

I get onto it next got cam sorted from encho honda .engine seems fine. except rockers

Pins bit out of square wear i guess from being too loose ? have not seen that before.

shaft drive looks good oh front brake disc looks bit worn i know cast iron but looks bit poked to me.

got work on the brakes , but engine is what wanted to sort flushed change the radiator fulid.

[actungbaby]

[QUOTE=actungbaby;1130573967]yes i did wonder i looked at ebay f middle left middle farings and look diffrent to me .

just post a few pics if can find them sold my phone hopefully pay for vfr 750 fairings.

and plastic welding of the cbr 900 rr top front section. bit holds lights in .

Fairing stay is bent so bit out whack but will look getting another or getting it fixed ?.

Thinking metal craft..

[actungbaby]

Know forks are out doh thought the clip ons went under the top clamp like on the vfr

They dont so bit lazy getting it on something to support it and as need to take front wheel

Of for 3 time i want change the tire at the same time.. and suggestions

I used car jack under pipes under the sump but leant over not fun..

I know rear stand but dont have one..

[ducatilover]

Jack it up on the RHS on the lower part of the frame, swingarm or suspension linkage so it leans over on the side stand. :niceone:
Bloody nice looking project you have yourself mate, I'd kill (not really) for a 'Blade like that

I put lids on and push the plastic carb slide right up took cover of

In carb groves fair amout float on the main needle not sure she how she goes.

well as the first good bike after two lemons well vt 250 was a lemon

vt 500 not sure if i get fired up .

this was 3rd 900rr firblade first i won and ticked insurance guy of cause asked to

have little time to come up with money .. got rather cross with me.

that was crashed yellow one in auckland . was another i got out bidded on

white damm intenet went down on me grr so been 2 years trying.

Most i cant afford 5000 for newer one. yeah am surprised was alot better

Than hoped for .. vfr 750 was gamble cause the chassis . fairings front light.

spent 2000 on it just in second hand parts love the bike..its

got charcter the sound wonderfull its more sedate it take you around.

its solid it gets warm though rear cylinders cook you in summer .

cbr cost me 1500. 700 for re vining tires 2 x oil its going cost more than i

get to sell..i started it the risk is the engine if its good great.

Oh on starting it i cant say i went wow .. i go wow this is light..

I rode down the street few feet no brakes engine didnt idel so didnt feel

comfortable didnt feel great i must say low bars well see.

I sell it mind you i dreaded ridding vfr 750 and ended up loving it who knows.

what nice delemia love your kawaski what your done is brillent.

you way more tallented than me i just bolt things on you change things.

chain and pads all round .

ps guy brought from great guy he didnt crash it either .. good dealing with good people.

everthing said about bike was 100 % right

I but two car jacks under the forks too push them up. mistaken idea

I choudint work out why brake hose and master cylinder fit not long enough..

doh oh yeah clip ons under the top clamp.. know got mover forks in lower clamp.

with vfr 750 i used mx5 rim and tire but sold it aghhh sat on that for month ..

no forks thet first thing got rid of 2/12 hours drag the bitch opps my lovley bike

sidways into shed . no wonder they came of .. gee bike ugly with no forks.

no front wheel . ever ridden bike with no front mud guard. i have talk about

in your face exp on wet day oh my.. ;-) Honesty nah i found whole exp

nasty trying move forks and bloody bike moving.

I thought building a raised platform and ramp up to it .. but think thats bit

nasty too dont think work. and 180kg still 180kg. if falls on you.

so i take of the honda wheel (tire saver spare useless for the task)

jack it up on header as save possible damage to sump . then slide

the whell under , another problem with it was rear wasint flat on ground either.

not good when taking front one of to do the forks.hehe

[ducatilover]

If your garage has a strong roof, you could always hold the front up on the jack and then put ratchet straps up through the rafters? I do it when taking forks off in my garage
