  1. i am looking for a set for a MK1 pm me details
  2. Im not sure this is the right area to post this I am looking for a set of arm rests that can be mounted on and are ok for a wider frame (i mean the passanger) i am looking for something that's almost a straight bolt on If this is the wrong area for the post let me know thanks
  3. yes i still have the old school one i am afraid to do it but i want to put all new wiring on the bike is this something i should wait till my electrical class at MMI lol
  4. Hey eveyone Duck again When i picked my bike up the front headlight bright didnt work then the whole light went out i got a new bulb and it works fine on low now but sometimes when riding around the white light flashes like it has a problem and the little light on the dash that looks like a light sitting near the gas gauge is always on so i tried flicking the high beam on and it still doesnt work. I dont know much about wiring but i know someone over the years took all the wires wiped there a$$ with them and put them back in backwards (the wires are all messed up and covered with tape and cut in places I want to try and get the high beam working again any thoughts I see the fuses are all good under the the false tank but behind the light i see all the little boxes i think they are called relays but not sure how to check those and how much are they to replace if i have to just randomly replace some Thanks guys
  5. I just wanted to say really fast i have only been on this site a few days,It has been the biggest help in getting my bike running and driving. I also wanted to say thank you so much to Brad for sending my that petcock you are awesome if there is anything i can do for you please let me know and thanks guys for all the help On friday i will be paying for my sub to join as a member Thanks again everyone
  6. It is running just fine again fuel filter getting fuel and the bike idels just fine for as long as i want in the garage i can rev it up and everything is fine Im not sure lol i dont want to ride it far because i dont want to get stuck again this is so weird i dont know whats going on lol i am wondering if it is dirty carbs But i notice the screws that you guys said loosen to see if there was fuel they are kinda wet on the outside and they are as tight as they will go but the screws are kinda messed up i know it will need work over time but im trying to get to school first and fix the bike there so i want to make it safe to ride my trip does this sound like a big problem?
  7. i had the same problem on my 05 ninja 2 hoses were crossed coming from the tank and it wouldnt let gas flow and the bike would die same as this lol drive for miles and miles then bam die
  8. So i got the bike back to the house and i started pulling the panels off to get a better look at everything and i spayed carb cleaner righ tinto the carbs and it fired up. I left it running for a bit and noticed the fuel filter running out of gas. I ws told that after rifing for ahwhile and with having a gas tank the way it is my vacuum lines could be wrong or unhooked i have a vacuum gauge on the bike that doesnt work it has one line coming out of the gauge and it is going into the right front cylinder and there are no other lines from the gauge to the tank or anything Then after pulling the body panels off i found a hose just laying there it has a small what looks like filter on it but the line seems dry so must have been off for awhile i am wondering if this is my vacuum line and if anyone has a diagram of how the lines run i hope this is the problem cause the carbs get fuel to them but only for awhile then it stops
  9. I will open it up tomorrow i cant go get the bike tonight so i have to wait till morning to get it home
  10. i have already filled it up with new gas cleaned out the crap in the tank and filter i put seafoam init already but i havent looked at the line from the pump to the carb. i do not want to take the carbs apart at all i am not there yet. I will check the plugs and the line going from the pump to the carbs
  11. can the fuel pump be working but maybe clogged or not working the way it should like it turns on but wont keep up?
  12. yea no problem starting up and battery holds a charge and charges no problem. I didn tjust hook the radio up last night but i dont think that would do it after i rode it for that long would it? It still trys to start battery wise no problem
  13. So the bike died again Not to sure what did it this time.The fuel filter is still full and clean and the bike is getting fuel from the tank to the pump.The pump turns on and i watch it pull fuel from the filter so i dont think its the pump.I rode it for 50 miles then parked it at the house started it right up and it went just fine.I took it onto a island i live near to do a lap around the road is about 10 miles went not even 5 miles and it acted like it ran out of fuel again and wouldnt start back up not with choke and didnt even sound like it wanted to fire after the first few seconds of trying it would crank just fine just not give me a trying to fire sound you guys know right? lol Reason 1. Maybe lost spark now i tested it with a plug i had with me it sparked so maybe bad plugs in the bike now? Reason 2. dirty carbs Maybe something made its way thru the pump and into the carbs. Reason 3.The carbs arent setup matching maybe they need to be matched Reason 4.When it gets warm ( i took it for the long ride didnt have a problem let it cool then took it out again then had a problem after riding a bit and getting to temp) I loose spark due to the CDI? I do not know much about this little thing but i heard it can have a effect on the bike running at temp. So im lost LOL gonna go down tonight and try to pick the bike up its at a resort in the parking lot nice and safe. Iff i cant get it to start and baby her back home ill call a tow truck and pray i can get her running again tomorrow lol. I have till june 3rd to get this thing running to the point i can take it on my 3-4 hour drives. If you guys have any tips that would be awesome i dont want to pull the carbs apart so im trying to avoid that till the last thing because i know it can be a job and a half. Ill be doing alot of today so ill be online allday LOL
  14. This is my bike I picked it up 4 days ago for 1000$
  15. i put a very good fuel filter on but i will look into a petcock i know i need one fast
