  1. Hi Stan, Maybe there isnt an oil filter on it, sometimes on these small engines theres none, think they just rely on regular 3000 oil changes, But why dont you get yourself a Haynes manual for it, All questions will be answered in there

    No thats exactly what youre doing, bypassing the jets, you need to soak them in carb cleaner, Ultrasonic jewellery cleaners are good too if you happen to have one, ..cant be much wrong if it runs! Just a thought, If its running on two and the other two have blocked jets, Then if you rev it up and give it some throttle, Then the other (Blocked) carbs should come into play throgh the main jets, this is because of the increased air flow through the carbs at the higher revs, you will feel the exhausts warm up and will run smooth...This will confirm the starter circuit problem

    You are confusing me now, you said it runs on two, but when you spray fuel into the others it picks up!
  4. Well its 1 in the morning here and i'm off to hit the sack And im glad to hear that you dont work in...A chain factory See you tomorrow
  5. Im just enjoying myself at home, what do you do at work apart from this, and what time is it in Chicago?

    Hello MrG and welcome, was wondering when you'd get around to an intro, I myself had a CB175, Lovely bike ...Ah those were the days.
  11. Gene, You say the funniest things lol, Your words not mine, :tongue:

    Yes there is, if you get a good magnifying glass you may see it, but it might be blocked up, get some carb cleaner and have a poke about with something like a toothbrush bristle for example, you might get it clear. The carbs could do with a good clean anyway after 5 years, youre lucky to get it running in the first place. Dont forget to use the PRIME position to fill the carbs initially
  13. By all means try yes, but when the weather clears up a bit, The plug chop test is the thing to do, you may already be right with the 95 jet, Getting the right jet is more to do with the air filter change, and really nothing to do with the sprocket change.
  14. Talk sense to a Wa**er and he calls you all - Oldgit I rest mine too!
  15. I prefer bikes that are or have been used to ones that are only shown and never ridden, Having said that I still like to see them looked after and in good nick...
  16. Glad to help, Its a common stumbling block with new riders.
  17. Try again with the sidestand up...Possibly!
  18. And youre not the sharpest one!! And that means everyone other than you does it?, since no one actually agreed entirely with your unique maintenance regime. Accept it Gene, youre WRONG, by popular opinion. Try not to get so angry about it
  19. I'm sure the store is just fine and it will sort out all your carb needle problems once and for all, Not a bad price too IMO, Wish we could get them here but I know one thing, They would cost a lot more if we could.
  20. Hello and welcome , good luck with your DAS, All bikes are fun, just in different ways Not got an R6 myself, so i'll get me coat now.
  21. You tell em ChicagiXS, Words of wisdom indeed IMHO And as for Gman, Chicago wouldnt be half as windy if he left...Another IMHO

    When the bike was sold new, it had the correct jet for the engine with standard exhaust, silencer and air filter, It may now have an after market (Not Yamaha) expansion pipe and silencer, you are also talking of a different filter. These things are changing the bike from how it was, the danger is in running too lean, too lean can cause overheating, in extreme cases ahole in the piston crown or possible seized engine. This is why you need to jet when you start changing these items, although i must add that I doubt you need to make big changes, thats why I said go for the next two sizes up from standard BTW Markyboy27 is looking into jetting on his 125 Dragstar, have a look at his recent posts, you will learn a bit from them See plug chop

    No harm in putting a cartridge air filter in no, As for jetting, only jet bigger than standard, jets are cheap so try the next two sizes up, Have you had the bike from new, can you say its got the original jet in there, If you dont know then find out what size is standard and look at yours with a magnifying glass, size is stamped in the jet, next to the hole. Also you will need to plug chop when jetting

    Its a good charger that one, similar to mine but mine will do both 6v and 12v, I think the light with the tick will light when its full charged, bike looks nice, what do you think , have you rode it or was it delivered?....So you gonna leave us then and join the Honda forum
