  1. Engine Vibration above 6k RPM. 2 Jul 2010 03:17 Just as an update. It came down to replacing the muffler, which was pretty blown. And that fixed the issue. I'm sure the carb sync did not hurt either though. But now there is a new problem - oil leak from the water…

  4. Engine Vibration above 6k RPM. 22 Jun 2010 15:02 Borrowed a gauge-type carb sync tool. The readings were all pretty close, but now I think I'm going to build a manometer, as the gauges measure the vaccum in 10's of inHG. And the allowed difference is 20mmHg. (20mmHG =…

  7. Engine Vibration above 6k RPM. 15 Jun 2010 02:13 Pulled the plugs and checked them for clean firing - the all fired fine, although they are all slightly oil-fouled. Going to drain the oil in a minute and pick up a compression tool tomorrow. Attached thumbnail(s)…

  9. Engine Vibration above 6k RPM. 10 Jun 2010 15:14 Recently I started to notice vibration in the engine. Was barely noticeable at first, but now it feels like riding a 250cc twin. Engine vibrations become evident at 6k RPM and amplify with RPM increase. This happens…

  13. My Diy Rack And Panniers Under $60 Ammo Cans *pics* 25 Feb 2009 23:12 I recently sold my car and the tractor is now my main form of transportation, thus I needed to increase its cargo capacity. Being a pretty odd and old bike (1996 Honda VFR750) the only commercial option I saw were the…
