Wow. I picked up a used 98 with under 5k miles in 99. Put 80k+ miles on it till 2008. Never had any of your problems. Only problem was getting the front wheel back down for the next corner! Ate tires for breakfast. Wish I never traded it. complete hoot to ride!

After a brief foray into Yamaha FZ07 and FJ09, back to my roots. And yes I'm 60!

It's always been this way since the beginning. US doesn't even get some great bikes or gets a toned down version missing a lot of features. I own one now. 92 Honda 750 Nighthawk VS CB750 everywhere else.

Having done multiple bikes with ABS and cars, just do a normal flush. Be VERY CERTAIN you don't let a reservoir go dry. Once done I've gone and done some ABS stops and never even went back and re- blead.

Thanks! .007 and .009 sounds good! Anyone know the compression spec.? Don't know if there is a decompression built in.

I have a Pulsar G65BN and the owners manual has you taking it in for service for valve adjustments. All I need to know is the spec. I've got .007in. for both to .004-.007 intake and .008-.010 exhaust. None officially for this model. Anyone? Thanks!

Just picked up a Stihl BG50 blower after 3 Husky 125B Blowers. Long story. I'm impressed! Lighter by 1.5 lbs, as or more powerful, more compression when new, (150psi). Bought some Stihl HP Ultra to double my warranty. After much reading/YouTube I'm not using it and have switched to Echo Red...

Filled my carb. bike with E0, Stabil Marine 360, 1 oz of 2 stroke oil, and 2oz of MMO. NOT going to drain carbs, may run bike once over the winter. See what happens.

I have several guages and too much experience with them. Don't use pencil type, never accurate. Got a guage on my compressor that perfectly matches my compression tester, that perfectly matches my talking digital guage. Must be right. Digital talking guage can take multiple readings off the...

😭😭 Not there yet here in central PA, few more rides, but by end of Nov. for sure.

What is the PCV system on this bike? Honda liked having a little reservoir that filled from the airbox that had to be emptied periodically.

I can go to many all you can eat Chinese buffets around me for the same cost as Mcdonalds. We're talking shrimp, crablegs even some times, etc. Way more tasty. My wife loves the sushi. Its good Mcdonalds has the $5 meal deal. Only thing saving them.

Here's one reference to it with a quick search. The forum has lost a lot with a few "resets". Ethanol IS the boogeyman. Dont ever think that it's great, or causes no problems. It's an excuse and joke shoved on us by the government.

I for one will stop at 5w-30. Have a 24 Chevy Trax. calls for 5w-30. With absolutely no change in the engine, 25 now calls for 0W-20. Not only that, but talked to my dealer and they said they'd be putting in 0W-20 in my 24!! No free oil change for me.

I had an ST1300 couple bikes back. Didn't happen to me but it's a fact. Happened to more than a few people. Do a search on the forum.
