General / Tech Corner / What is out there for rethreading spindles?
|
on: May 26, 2010, 02:17:54 PM

I have some spindles that need some attention. I have a need for a rethreading kit that handles everything from a trailer to a D50 from end. I would also like to be able to do the spindles on my ATV’s. I have poked around a bit at some of the kits on the internet. But to be honest I am confused by what all I looked up. I do not know the sizes I require and without being able to compare the size of the tools in the photograph with what I need them for I have no way of know for sure what I am looking at. Can I please get some guidance on this subject matter?

General / Tech Corner / I need help trouble shooting my master cylinder

I just rebuilt and re-installed the front master cylinder and caliper on my 1999 Yamaha V-Star. However, it still does not work. I have rebuilt many master cylinders in the past and this is the first one to give me this kind of trouble. I am hoping I just over looked something simple and some on here might be able to point it out. The issue I am having is it still will not build pressure and has far as I can tell it is not sending fluid to the caliper. The front brake line is clean and the master cylinder seemed to work on a bench test. So any ideas?

It is a HJC 1/2 helmet. I like the fact that is came with cold weather ear protection that zips on and off. But, when I got home and looked in the mirror with it on I realized it looked retarded in it. I did not know it was so much like a bubble. I wanted soemthing a little lower profile. But, for $25 it will get me buy until I can afford one I like better.

General / Open Discussion / Where do you all get your carb parts?

I have found that a little shopping around can get me significantly cheaper parts than what the dealership wants. However, I am having a hard time locating all the small parts I require. The jets are fairly easy and cheaper by $10 to $13 that the dealership. But I need other stuff as well like the main jet holder and the fuel bowl O-rings. I found a place on line that offers small parts for Mukini carbs, but they are not responding to my emails. I have an almost nonexistent budget to get this bike back on the road. So I HAVE to find the best prices. Where do you all get your small carb parts?

Well, the great state of Georgia requires motorcycle riders to wear a damn helmet. That is the only thing I miss about living in Florida. I still had my right to chose for myself. Oh well, this is where we live for the moment so if I want to ride I have to comply. I am getting my bike back on the road and I need some help locating a helmet I can half way tolerate. I know more about motocross style helmets than anything. So I am starting from scratch with street bike stuff. I would like an open face helmet that does not look totally retarded. I saw one on a Hot Rod TV show a while back that I liked but I cannot remember what it was called. Are there any out there that can be open and closed faced? I am thinking for the winter time I would like a closed face that can be removed when it warms up. Shoot me some links and shower me with your knowledge. I need this figured out quick, fast, and in a hurry.

General / Open Discussion / Looking for a Yamaha R1 and have some questions.

One of my goals before I return home is to purchase a 2006 R1 LE. However, I am facing several challenges. First, I have been out of the sport bike game for a long damn time. The second is I am trying to find one from over here in Iraq. So I have to go by what the advertisement dictates. One big problem I am running into is most of these sellers have no idea what they have. Some advertise their R1 as a limited edition when it is an anniversary edition and some advertise it as an anniversary edition when it is a limited edition. It gets me so frustrated that I stop looking for a while. Anyhoo, my question is when I am looking at these ads, what are some obvious tell tell signs I am looking at a true limited edition 2006 model? I want one of the 500 LE models made, not one of the anniversary models. They are very similar in appearance.

Don't make the mistake I did. I bought a pipe for a 200CC Blaster. I should have bought one for a 240CC Blaster. I did not realize they were different until after I did some resaerch.
