My tool pouch tie down has been gone for yrs... fucking junk Hondas! !!!😀😁😂 then again I am not sure I ever used my tool pouch on my Honda .

Mobil 1 15-50 or 20-50 has been in my bird since I bought it in 06. 76k on the clock and NO issues at all.

As the title states This is my track bike up for sale. She is all stock motor and suspension Just over 13k miles on the clock Woodcraft rearsets SS front brake lines HH pads Front PP 70% tread left Rear Q3 70% tread left Clean NJ title in hand Asking $1800

Sold this girl last night. They showed up with a U-haul truck so I knew they wanted it. The kid was all smiles when he rode it so we loaded it up and off they went. We are picking up the CRF250R on Friday.

It's been a great bike. Starts with only 2-3 kicks. Never had a mins problem with it. If I had the room I would keep it for a pit bike or just to putt around on but with Tyler getting another bike I don't have the room. There is already 10lbs of shit in my 3lbs bag. I need to take stuff out of my shed just so I can work on stuff.

Tyler has out grown this bike. So we are selling it. Tires are good. Brakes are good. Plus I have EBC front pads and stock rear shoes in a box with some extra spokes. I am offering it up here for $1000

The HID headlights are fucking awesome. Just buy a good set. Mine have been in both high and low beam for 7yrs and about 40k miles. Only had to change 1 bulb. The make a huge difference in night riding as far as sight distance. My electrical problem was a corroded ground that was not working as it should. After I cleaned all the connections the problem has not come back. Don't fear the HID embrace it. They are great. Do your research first though.

I always try to shock the stuck bolt with a few love taps from a small hammer. 9 times out of 10 it will breake the tension of what is holding it and it will turn. For those times it doesn't work I try to apply a bit of heat and then tap. For all other times there is Mastercard. ... 😀 😄 😜

Mikey I am not sure how your ballasts are mounted and all the wiring is tied on your bike. I have mine tied to the fairing stay and the bulbs are accessible by removing the inner dash panel. They are still a bitch and many curse word fly when changing a bulb but I have done it twice and didn't take the nose fairing off. As for the bulbs. If you have a 35w ballast you should go with a 35w bulb and you will have to match up the connectors. Whatever you do DON'T touch the bulb itself. Grab it by the base. The oils from your skin will create hotspots on the bulb and it will burn out prematurely. Same as with a halogen bulb.

Good to hear the electrical is sorted out. As for the mix, being at lower altitude than it was tuned for would make it run leaner, not richer. That said, a couple hundred feet makes little difference and would likely take a dyno and/or exhaust gas analyzer to detect. If this is the case then I need to dig into it and see why I am running on the rich side. Because everyone that rides behinde me complains of the exhaust smelling like it is running rich. In the winter months as soon as the bike starts Incan turn the choke off and it will run fine without the choke. That tells me that it is running too rich. Summer time I don't even need the choke to start it. Maybe it is as simple as adjusting the air fuel mix screws just a smidgen. Thanks guys.

👍 sounds like a kickass plan for sure. Damn you got some kickass mpg. I haven't seen anywhere near that. Best I have ever seen is 42. Not lately though. I am thinking it is time to tune the carbs.

For a ride or carb work? MotoAmerica is the second week in Sept.

Just had mine apart this spring. The trick is to get them close and then place the cover on top just by hand (no screws). Then remove it. It seems to push the rubber where it needs to be. Thanks I will keep that in mind and try it when I tear it apart. May wait till the fall so I don't miss any ridin time.

I believe Karen said it was in a box.. winning... 😀

Well I think my gremlins have found a new home elsewhere. .. 😀 The Bird ran flawlessly yesterday and at an average speed of about 5mph most of the day the charging system got 1 hellova workout. She stood fast and never faultered. 😀 My next endeavor will be to adjust the air fuel mixture she has a Factory Pro Jet kit and was jetted for 800'above sea level which hear in Jersey I am clearly not that high above. She runs a tad rich but damn good. That is why I have not messed with it. One of these days I will pull it apart and see what I can do. The rubber diaphragms scare me. The last time i took 1 out it took me over an hr to get it back into the right spot. I believe the main needles have clips on them that I can use to adjust the main mixture so maybe if I ever get adventurous I will give it a go.

Kelly is the proud owner of this topcase. I just need to shipp it out to her.

This how we roll....

I think we just might be able to squeeze 1 more in there if we butter up the sides and shove it in there.

As of right now Kelly gets it if she still wants it.

Why yes yes I do little boy would you like some candy? 😈😆 The van has carpeted walls and floor also... 😀 shag carpet...😉

So you are on FB? Are we friends on there?

My Bird came with the K&N filter. I don't have any dust on the inside of the airbox after the filter. Then again I keep it oiled. It does stop mice and their nest from entering the intake. .. 😀 ask me how I know this... go a head... lol

Yes search CBR1100XX Super Black Bird and a few pages will come up.

Hey you I told you what I spent on them and that I got them from ebay get it strait... 😀 😄 😜 I honestly don't remember the link. I was on the XX Facebook page and someone posted the link. Not sure if my ebay history will go back that far. I'll have to look. Dave if I put anything on my work bench I may very well loose it in the mess. I need to spend some quality time in my shop.. 😉

Karen inspected the case more closely you can see it was used gently. Not new. Still in very good condition. She is asking $150 plus shipping but that is negotiable. The only one that has gotten back to me so far is Kelly if I don't hear from anyone by tomorrow she is the top bidder. 😀
