    I ordered a set of the nylon shims for both of mine last week. I hope it helps my mileage. My biggest problem right now with the 86 is the diaphragms are shot. That$ gonna hurt the wallet !

    Uhm...does buying you an ice cream sundae keep me off the "LIST" ??

    Dan, (Or anybody ) where is the best place ( cheapest) to get a set of carb diaphragms for my 87 ?
  4. KIC
    Well I removed the after market oil breather and returned the 89 to original venting with the t-fitting modification. I really believe it is running smoother and with a little more power. I found the cap on the bottom of the box was leaking big time. Also the breather line was kinked in order to allow for the after market vent breather to be attached. I also re-installed the original set up on the 87 today, but it still runs like crap. So I took one of the carb sides off and found the diaphragm filled with holes and tears around the edges. That could definitely cause the running issues I have. Going to check the other 3 BUT.... Anybody know what the size or number of the special security screw on the side of each carburetor is ? I bought a set of tips that were supposed to include the size I needed, but none seem to be the correct ones. I will have to fight getting those PITA's off and replace with regular screws.

    Real problems are for people who can't handle the fantasy world. You need to come over to the dark side......

    Never mind. I answered my own question. I removed the little after market filter and replaced everything back to normal configuration with the T-fitting upgrade. Got it all put together and I feel and hear a BIG difference in the engine. Took it for a short ride and it felt smoother. I will be interested in seeing if it improves the gas mileage. I will also have to see if it gets rid if the oil smell after being ridden and parked in the garage.

    Thoughts and prayers are with you. Been through it. I understand what you are going through.

    Earl, Need Update: Did you keep your mod this way ? I have a similar set up on my 89, but it is on a longer hose that is "kinked" coming out of the crank case. I also just found that the plug at the bottom of the air box is shot and leaking air. Trying to decide if I want to return to original design or modify the modification.

    And the wind speed was......????

    We also need to know the elevation at which the weight was taken so we can figure in air density and gravitational pull...

    Having lost my mom I know what you are feeling. Sorry for your loss.

    Good point..so how about it raises and lowers the case for 2nd battery that is installed to run that motor.
  14. KIC
    Does it just spin one way ? Can it reverse ? What type of power/gear type ration does it have ? Does it have more torque than a 2nd Gen ? ( Sorry couldn't resist) Tell us what the motor can do, we will figure out what to do with it !

    I ran my VIN through it and it told me to clean my air filter and sync my carbs.

    Rode my 89 to an ADRider bike night last night and got a lot of compliments on the bike. Most people like the old bikes.

    Knowing that this could happen to any of us at any time. Sent a PayPal. Wish him luck with his recovery. If everybody just sent a little, I'm sure it would add up to a lot. Good Luck.

    The stuttering is caused from the speed of a 1st Gen. 2nd Gens just whine... or so I'm told...
  20. KIC
    Yea.. I knew it was coming. BUT.. I was hoping ANSWERS were coming too....

    So I have the opportunity to pick up these two 83 MK1 carcasses. I have been out of town so it has taken a while to try to finish this deal. I went back and really looked over them. My intention is to store them and just have the parts available. I would like to sell enough parts to cover the cost of the bike then the parts, nuts, bolts etc are there to pass on. Can you guys look at these pictures and tell me if there are parts here worth selling/keeping and passing on ? I have a few people interested in some of the parts already, just trying to figure out if it is worth putting the money out for them. What do you think they are worth paying for ? The fuller carcass has what appears to be: Good solid front forks ( not leaking) with anti-dive units. Good front fender Good Rims front & back Good right lower fairing Left side mirror ( light scratches on back) Good radiator Good right rear bag Left front turn signal lens Handle bars 1 chrome vent cover Misc chrome bars on sides two complete rear turn signals rear trailer hitch trailer light connector and wiring Most of the CLASS system ( condition unknown) Seat carcass Misc electrical connectors Engine looks mostly complete, but missing carbs and been left open to rain and elements.

    You just can't make up some of the stuff I see while sitting on surveillance... I thought of BigTom when I saw this.... :ICwink: Of course the last picture just may have been BigTom looking for the Rescue truck...
