  1. That's quite a good idea, especially if you have a disagreement and something to remind you of why you love your spouse. Good on you Dave.
  2. Thanks. That is an amazing build, that guy did a great job.
  3. Here are the part numbers used on my XX 16952-MBB-003 Screen, fuel strainer 16953-ML0-034 Cover set, petcock
  4. it still wheel stands when I hit 2nd gear full throttle and the front end gets quite light when hitting third. A little pull on the bars and the front wheel would definitely come off the ground in third. Scary-fast for me.
  5. Where did you find this pic? I'd like to see more pics from different angles
  6. Could very well be. I also replaced the vacuum line with a longer one. The existing line was brittle and a bit too short so always difficult to get it connected to the tank. On another note, sure the XX is 25 years old, many bikes are much more powerful, lighter and faster. But the XX is still a scary-fast machine. And sexy!!
  7. I rode my XX yesterday. I was surprised how easy it started. Normally it will sputter for a while when first started and the choke on. It smoothed out almost immediately to a nice even idle. It ran very smooth and very strong. Again, I'm not sure why but is definitely running smoother and more powerful.
  8. I have 1 Kobalt utility knife in the kitchen junk drawer and one in the garage at each house. Easy blade replacement. And the Stanley blades.
  9. I just took the bike out for a run, ran it up to 140. Maybe it's my imagination but it seems to run smoother and stronger. The cleaning of the tank and the new filter may have something to do with it. I don't know if the diaphragm not functioning properly would have had any effect. Now to lube the chain and wax the bike.
  10. Thanks for the video and all the other posts with info. And thanks to everyone else who provided help. Because I wasn't sure what the problem was, the next morning I took the tank to the local MC shop. They came to the same conclusion and replaced the parts. They charged me the same prices that I saw online and only $25 for their labor. They got the genuine Honda parts quite quickly and no shipping charges. They also replaced the filter which I was unaware of until I saw the video you provided.
  11. I pulled the tank off the bike with the petcock valve in the closed position. The minute I opened the valve gas flowed out, which it is not supposed open unless pulled by vacuum. Gas also flowed out this bottom nozzle, which doesn't connect to anything and is never supposed to do.
  12. There was what I thought was an oil spot on the garage floor under my XX last week after I rode it. Upon research it seems its leaking gas and that has washed residue oil with it as it dripped to the floor. I can't determine exactly where the gas is coming from. I pulled the tank off and the right side gas connection is leaking gas. Isn't the gas valve only supposed to open when there is a vacuum. It appears the diaphragm is leaking. Anyone have an experience like this?
  13. Did you notice what appears to be cameras next to the right turn signal on the first two blue bikes. They also appear to have LED turn signals. I did find these on ebay, may be the same https://www.ebay.com/itm/361025134214?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3Da9f0272c6a08486e922746097bc27a67%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D134303914031%26itm%3D361025134214%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRanker&_trksid=p4429486.c101224.m-1
  14. And the depending on the car the caliper was probably under $70.
