What year is your bike? The PC3 I have is said to be for '02 and up, but some say it'll work on earlier bikes if it has the right connector. I think my '01 has it but I haven't verified.

They're not complicated, just like figuring out a computer issue isn't complicated for the right guy, and fuck that shit because computers suck way more than carbs for me. There are "simple" things that I'm not good at so I can see where someone would give up on a carb, even tho they're "simple" devices. In reality they're a simple device conquering a complex task, the more you know about them the more complicated they become. LONG story short, I can see why people hate carbs, even tho I don't. And I still don't think the issue with this bike is in the carb, but maybe. We'll know once he installs the new one.

If that Bird has an O2 sensor, which I think it will being a Ca model, I think it has to be deleted. But I don't know if the delete is just as simple as disconnecting it or if something has to be done for the computer to be ok with it disconnected. And if the bike still has the cats the air/fuel ratio needs to be kept in a reasonably proper area to not create a problem. My '01 is 49 state so I can't confirm, but I think an '01 Ca model would have O2 & cats. Edit: I think I remember reading on their site about the O2 issue, I feel too lazy to search, but the info should be there.

Pretty sure the PC3 listed here will work on your '00, but verify. The one I have, also a PC3 USB, most likely won't. I just started the research on them and previously had no idea there was more than one PC3 model for the XX.

FI only.

It's also possible that there was a different problem that was accidentally fixed while doing the filter. The best way I know of to really know is to do a flow test or just blow through it and see how much resistance there is.

No idea if it would be worth the shipping, but if you wanna send it to me I'll go through it for you.

Verify that the part # on that PC will fit your year of bike. I have one here I got from Cecome that's listed as working on '02 up only for US bikes. It has a large square connector that plugs in inline with the bike's harness. I was hoping to run it on my '01 but it appears it won't work. Jon's with the individual connectors is probably the right one for the earlier bikes, but do confirm.

Did you also check/clear the idle jet? Your initial problem didn't seem carb related, unless that has an automatic choke. But if it got better from only messing with the carb then maybe there's just something else in it that's screwed up.

5-10 seconds is too short of a run to use up a full float bowl of gas, but there could be something really odd happening. I think the easiest start would be to open the bowl drain and see if you get a continuous flow, if not then start digging for a flow issue. If you do then check spark cold and after it dies. I've had spark issues that 'feel' like a lack of fuel. Last would be tight valves, but that seems like too short of a run for the stems to expand enough to kill it, unless they're at 0 lash when cold. If none of that pans out I'll dig back into my brain for something else.

I'm glad it's not closer to me.

Ahh. You said it was "on for normal running light" and I assumed that meant it was normal light output on the running light. Dimly lit would indicate a loss of ground, and I'll bet the right rear was also dimly lit but there's no reason you'da thought to look at it. $80 seems steep to me. When I see stuff like this I wish I could live near everyone that has a small easily cured problem, that's the kinda shit I fix in my driveway for a beer.....and since it's my driveway I usually end up supplying the damn beer. Maybe I should rethink my business approach.

Almost positive they lied to you and it was the power connection to the turn signal filament side, most likely just the contact in the bulb socket needed a little tweak or cleaning. If the ground was bad you'd have no light, or both filaments would light very dimly if the circuit allows it to pull ground through the rear turn signal.

How and why did someone put an alternator on the bike?

The filament for the running light probably burnt out; one bulb with two filaments, a brighter one for turn and dimmer for running light. Probably just needs a new bulb.

I hadn't thought about alcohol, it should be safe. And rubbing alcohol would be perfectly fine too, the water in it won't matter since the alcohol needs to be flushed out with brake fluid anyway.

That's one way to mask locker stank.

I've got one crazier, water. But I only do it if it's really shitty and can't be disassembled and truly needs to be blasted out. Using brake fluid is the safest way. Dump out the old stuff, fill with new, install cap, shake well and pump the piston. It'll probably clean right up. AFAIKBZITE: Do not listen to Zero. Brake clean is generally fairly safe for the rubber parts because it generally evaporates very quickly, but if it stays in there, like will likely happen when cleaning an assembled master cylinder, it can damage the seals. Q-tips can leave lint behind so make sure it's cleaned out well. If you're taking it all apart then blast away if you want to.

That's about $20 cheaper than eBay and you got to spec your size, nice. Did he charge shipping or tax? Why 47?

Supersprox range from $45 to $180 on eBay, there's lots of different models.

It would be less stupid and more fun than the word fights we've had so yea, I'm in.

Ignore, perfect! I've only been responding to his questions/statements anyway, and had pretty much decided to just start ignoring those, but now nothing I say will lead to another shit show. He's almost as crazy as the other Tom. And the fact that he uses his sign like....oh, never mind, it's not surprising. I don't think I've ever heard someone do that, it's funny. Also, according to the 'experts' (and at least one girl I can think of) I'm a great fuck buddy match for a scorpio, maybe that's why he gets so hot when I speak up.

You've said that a bunch of times yet you keep quoting me, asking stupid questions, making stupid statements, hurling stupid racial insults... Your lust for me is crystal clear, just own it and you might at least get some respect. I wonder if your mechanic dreams are as bad as Dave's presidential dreams. Having my beautifully perfect rock hard uncut Cuban manhood boring you out to a big block multiple times a night must be traumatizing. Your lust is different than Dave's, he's being taken by force where you're probably having people hold me down so you can take a hard ride.

The whole destruction event happened in only 2 seconds, obviously there were unimaginable forces and temperatures going on PLUS this is a totally unique super special motor with the most special OEM production line titanium rods Yamaha ever put into a production line motor; there is no way we'll never know why it happened. Hell, it's a miracle it didn't lead to a black hole opening up and swallowing the track.

Especially you because you can't handle knowing that a Cuban knows stuff you don't. I didn't claim that was how it was damaged, someone asked how they can become damaged and I gave one way that I've seen it done. A decent person would just say I didn't lever it on so I don't know how it broke, or something like that. Or say that with this motor the chain can't be levered onto the sprocket because there's not enough room to, or for whatever other reason, instead you insist on being a fucking asshole about it.
