[Adjusted the chain-L/R swingarm notches not equal?]

No need for picking fly shit out of pepper.

What, you don't do that???

[traxxion has 1.1 and 1.2 kg/mm fork springs in stock]

If you don't mind Herb, what do you weigh in pounds?

[Ross Pistons]

I like this part:

Ludicrous Liteness Design.

[preload spacer on forks]

I bet I could use those 1.0's

[cct replacement problem.......quick answer would be nice]

Oh, and smack your buddy up the side of his head.

[Tires.. Mounting and balancing..]

So, the metal pieces on the end in the photo are bearings? Is so, will you be selling the full unit or just the cones or both ways? If you sold the full working piece, you could sell them for any bike, make tons of money and retire.

[Fork air gap]

Thank you.

[Tires.. Mounting and balancing..]

When you can, how about a photo with them on the wheel as it would be used, please?

[Fork air gap]

A little bit less on the air gap can help with a too light spring but won't get the job done in the opposite case.

So me being 225 lbs. with stock springs could reduce the air gap to help my front end?

[Question about plug gapping]

All I know for sure is that I still remember the days of breaker points/coil ignition systems, leaded gasoline, and all the PITA changing/cleaning of plugs every 2000 miles or so, and resetting the timing and points gaps, and I don't miss a bit of it. With modern electronic ignitions, plug gap is certainly less critical, and if the plug gap is close, I wouldn't mess with it.

True but I also remember buying a brand new car for $5,000.

[Fork air gap]

so I've changed the oil out again today, Getting pretty good with this now... lol  

Are you pulling the forks each time or are you draining from the bottom?

[Forget underseat - UnderBODY exhaust?]

Has anyone tried it?

Yea, Buel.

[Rectifier - Where to buy?]

plus they give a discount to forum members.  

A Yamaha dealership gives discounts to a Honda forum members? If so, great :!:

[Air filter opinions pleeze!]

You have an accelerator pump circuit to take care of that very thing

So the Bird does have accelerator pumps like a Holley? Twist the grip and it shoots fuel in even with the motor off?

[Bringing back flooded Blackbird]

The only thing that would really bug me would be water in the cylinders.

Salt water, no way.

[Customizing Stock Exhaust,,need advice !!]

I frequent a pleasant outdoor dinging restaurant over there and the frowns on the faces of the patrons (can you say rich and influential) as another herd of flatulant bikes go by and stop all conversation has to be seen to be believed.

Why are bikes not treated like cars when it comes to noise? If run around with a big hole in your car's muffler, you will get a ticket. I often wonder that when a hardly comes past the house shaking the picture on my wall.

[Storing tires]

I store my spare tire around my stomach. :wink:

[Ohlins rebuild]

Just ask Alphabird. Ah, nevermind, old board humor.

Yea, I remember that.

[Slip-on modifications]

I have modified a set of Yoshi's for my bike

So, just how do they come apart? Can you just take the four screws from the end of the can and the tailpiece come off or do you have to take all of the screws out and the cover slides off? If you take the cover off, is it hard to get back on with the packing and all?

[Slide Drilling...]

Some don't need drilled, they are already the right size. I have a early 97 and did need drilled. Runs great :!:

[Oil filters for bird]

I like the Hondas because there is a guy on Ebay that sells em for 5 for $15 + $4 shipping  

Yea, let us know. Both of my bike uses the same filter and that would be alot cheaper. Just warn him, he might get swamped.

[Moving from mineral to synthetic oil]

I have heard that new corvetts come from the factory with Mobil 1 in them. So, maybe the slick oil don't harm brake in.

[How long do you let your oil drain for?]

When I come home, I'll let it cool down alittle and take the plug out. I put the new oil filter on the seat and go in the house. The next day, I take the other bike to work. When I come home, I finish the oil change. I guess you can think of why I put the filter on the seat?

[some basic questions, please answer]

1. How often should the chain need adjusting, I did mine 2 weeks ago and after about 300 miles it needs done again

Seems to me that there was quite a thread about after tighting the jam nuts on the chain adjusters, that if you didn't screw in or out (can't seem to remember which) the adjusters themselves, that the chain adjustment would change. Clear as mud, I know. Maybe Pete in Pa could shed of light on this.

[Shimming vs. lowering forks]

I have the same problem. I dropped the rear 1" with a lowering link and slipped the forks in the tubes about 1.25" - 1.5".  

I have done this but only a inch in front. I have very little trouble with things dragging. On some bumps while leaned over it might drag but I have stock front springs. With firmer springs, I think it would be OK. And I am not a light weight.
