Yes, it could be clogged idle jet. Unscrew the needle completely and remove the o-ring at the bottom. The o-ring is hard to see and remove sometimes. Then spray some carb cleaner into the opening. Carb cleaner will damage rubber parts so don't over do it and get some gasoline flowing into the bowl soon afterwards. This is part of the shotgun method of cleaning carbs.

A can of seafoam or Gumout with Regane in a tank of gas might clear it up. There is a "shotgun method" of trying to clean up carbs without removing them and Cowpuc has a method where he uses a turkey baster to pump some carb cleaner into the carb bowl and pull it out and keep doing this a few times. I don't remember all the details. If you do a search of this site you might find the details of the shotgun method and Cowpuc's method. Also, cowpuc has youtube videos listed under puc puc. You might find his method there. If the bike has been sitting a while the carbs usually need some cleaning.

Many members have installed Harley mufflers, Road King I believe. Someone with more details will chime in

Wish I could ride there. I just had my second cataract surgery today so I need more time to heal.

I ran across this video about motorcycle engine design pros and cons. Interesting.

Maybe the tank isn't venting properly. If it happens again, remove the gas cap and see if there is a vacuum on the tank. Just guessing.

Are the tubes the exact same diameter now?

That is a beautiful example of an 84! I love that color, my favorite color for the 1st Gens.

I spent many winters in NE, WI, MI, NY, IL, PA, VA, and OH contracting so I saw lots of snow. Don't miss it at all. My favorite job was south of MIami, FL close to the Keys. There were only a few nights here in Wilmington, NC this winter when it got below freezing.

Awesome!

I don't know if this applies to you, but several times over the years, I would get sciatic nerve pain in my right leg when I was on my feet. I would have to sit or place my foot on something high to relieve the pain. What seemed to get rid of the pain was going on a 1,000 calorie/day diet which is a good solution for any pain related to arthritis I suppose.

I bought a slightly used 73 Honda CB750 in Feb of 73. It ran great on the test ride. After buying it I stopped for gas at a country store and by the time I got it home, it was running ragged. I replaced the plugs and that helped just a little. After putting more gas in the tank it ran great. But in the mean time I thought I had gotten taken on the purchase. I paid $1150 for it with 800 miles on it. A new one was $1450 in the winter and $1750 in the summer in Raleigh, NC. I loved that smooth 4 cylinder bike after learning to ride on a vibrating 71 Honda CB350 twin.

I start my RSV occasionally to try to keep it running properly and the last couple of times I tried it the fuel pump doesn't appear to be clicking as much as before and it won't run very long. So, I'm guessing it's time to check the points and probably change them out. I'm assuming it's under the gas tank? I bought a set of points for the pump.

Is the fuel pump clicking normally when you turn the ignition on? Fuel pump points are a fairly common problem with these bikes. That shouldn't explain the smoke though.

Way too many leaves on the road! Should have made the run in the spring.

Have you tried Dennis Kirk? They have a Michelin for the rear. https://www.denniskirk.com/tires/2013-yamaha-xvz1300tfs-royal-star-venture-s.mmy

I didn't know about grapes being toxic to dogs but I haven't owned a dog for about 27 years. Before that though I had a dog most of the time. I'm surprised my kids didn't give our dogs some grapes when they were growing up.

That British guy gets Chinese replacement engines for his. I think he has changed it out more than once since he has ridden it all over the world it appears.

I've really enjoyed watching this guy's videos! https://c90adventures.co.uk/ At CT70 just popped up on Facebook Marketplace I noticed today. It looks like new. The owner said he bought it at an estate sale and it only has 300 miles on it.

My son has been recording/mixing music for Beyonce' for over 10 years. She won 4 Grammys last night and my son who recorded/mixed her music was awarded 2 Grammys. This makes 4 Grammys total for him! Had to brag a little! Sorry!

Seems to me that a master cylinder rebuild is needed and maybe a caliper rebuild also while you are at it.

Recently, a Partzilla ad popped up on my computer for LED bulbs for motorcycles. Perhaps they are plug and play more so than others? I don't know. They claim to be guaranteed to fit. https://www.partzilla.com/search?q=led+bulbs&ui=typeahead

I'm confused about the legal limit on lumens. I have read in some places that 3,000 lumens is the federal limit and have read other information that didn't agree with that number. So I'm cornfused. I noticed that the bulb in the link is rated 6,000 lumens.

Lay z boy recliners are the best in my opinion.
