    I'm with Merv here..... Goff's got her beat Hands-Down
  2. Had a similar issue with my XT600 Frank..... Check the condition of your carb manifolds.....if they're cracked, they'll suck a fair amount of air through there & cause the backfiring you speak of. I was advised to reseal the mounting surfaces between the carb boots & the cylinder head with a thin coat of RTV gasket sealer.....as my boots were in great shape......this did cure the problem. Might be worth a try.... Best of Luck with 'em Oh, & BTW..... to the forum!

  5. Cages are a necessary evil....UNfortunately! My biggest issue is trying NOT to drive my YamaHauler like I ride my bikes!

    Clutchless upshifts on shaft driven bikes proves to be quite fluid & smooth......not creating the dreaded typical chassis jacking from the shaft final drive. If they're done correctly.......it doesn't hurt a thing.
  7. Sweet FZ Fabiano! to the forum

    Nice exhaust note
  11. Amazing likeness to our Mistress of Darkness
  12. Used to have an XJ550 Seca with the same scenario...... Ended up being the starter circuit cut-off relay......located right behind the steering head, near the coils. Yanked the relay & ran a jumper wire across the connector to complete the circuit..... Worked great after that! HTH
  13. to the forum Freedom Fighter Used to have an '82 XJ550 Seca that would do the same thing when the Pilot Jets started to get dirty..... Pretty sure a good carb cleaning could cure that issue.
  14. Perfect addition for WF's vehicle collection!
