Hey Tom, hold onto your bike, it's obvious you'd miss it a lot. Didn't you ride it north a little while ago? Hey man, yer roadtrip buds now. Can't split up the...
Hi Wee, you might want to check the files for others who have "upgraded" their pipes...it often affects the bike's rideability negatively, unless other...
The undetermined ticking noise definately speeds up as the engine revs, but doesn't become louder. Again, I may just be paranoid about the whole thing, or...

I'm going crazy. Bought a non-running '84 700S. Took the carbs off and cleaned every orifice I could see. Pulled the set apart. Put in new o-rings and seat...
Nope, sounds like you've got it right, you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Get it idling, and spray carb cleaner or starter fluid everywhere between the airbox...
Did you remove and clean high and low speed jets ?, they need to be removed so you can clean related passages as well, your problem sounds like plugged low...
Little experience with bikes? Youre busting into stuff that some people ask basic questions on without even taking off the side covers(my analogy to popping...

Malcolm, I pulled the high speed jets and cleaned them and the needles. I visually inspected the bores and everything looked OK. On the low speed system, I...
Lou, There aren't any vacuum lines on these carbs. Only the petcock actuating line on carb # 2. I have asked on another reply if the fact that I am not...
Yeah, without being jetted quite a bit richer than stock, if your airbox is disconnected, you're running pretty lean. My impression is that the 700S airbox is...
Mark, he's talking about the vent lines... there's two of them, coming out between the #1/#2 and #3/#4 carbs, which just go to hoses which come up and lie...
I have a good friend with a '93 750 Nighthawk. He was telling me the other day that he was worried because he's never checked his alternator brushes and he...
Huh. So robbie and I went on our first long road trip with her riding her own bike. While it wasn't without it's challenges (she'd put her own rear wheel back...
When I did carbs on my 84 and my 86 there were large vacuum lines hooked up to the air, vs fuel, side of the air equation. Wondered what they were and plugged...
Hi Adi, wow, a self-repairing clutch. Gotta get me one of those. Maybe it's just getting used to the new fluids, or vice versa...oil may be heat-cycling to the...

Hi Adi, Lou here is selling a load of 700S parts, I believe. He may have a side stand, so you can save a few bux compared to dealer, I'd guess. DId the bike...
