  1. Clutch slipping 22 Jun 2012 00:19 I always change my oil twice as early as I should, usually at 1500 miles. But I'm definitely changing after 50-100 for this go around because of the fuel wash. Still stumped on the clutch issue, I guess I'll just have…
  2. Clutch slipping 21 Jun 2012 22:54 I had a stuck float in one of the carbs so I removed the carbs and took everything apart, cleaned, and reassembled. That solved the fuel leak issue. Just changed my oil a moment ago and must say there was a significant…
  3. Clutch slipping 20 Jun 2012 17:56 I recently noticed a slight to moderate odor of fuel in my 93's oil. At the same time my clutch has started to slip in 6th at about 1100 rpm. I am most certainly changing my oil today but wanted to get the opinion of…
  4. Shake, rattle, & roll. Fork spring swap? 2 Jun 2012 15:24 Reading up on what JD has to say about the issue in general is inspiring and at the same time daunting. I wish I was better educated in the engineering behind all of the factors involved, appears to be somewhat…
  5. Shake, rattle, & roll. Fork spring swap? 1 Jun 2012 17:47 My '93 750 is starting to show signs of fork spring/old oil stress. The handlebars shake and rattle over just about every bump and the front end dives more than it should when coming to a slightly aggressive stop. I…
  6. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 30 May 2012 00:41 One of the mods I did this winter was yank the 93 subframe and swap it with an 08 cbr600 subframe and tail. I integrated the tail lights with the viffer's wiring harness. I have my friends 08 cbr600 stock exhaust which…
  7. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 30 May 2012 00:13 Found this on eBay, tell me what you think?…
  8. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 29 May 2012 19:24 Definitely worth checking the plugs, I agree. I found a really interesting article online while researching my predicament. I want to provide the link just because it may be usefull/ helpfull for anyone else in my shoes…
  9. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 29 May 2012 18:03 Timmy are you really a cop? I don't think I'm breaking any noise ordinances but I still don't want a ticket. The collector box has a baffle-like structure built into it, not sure what it's for but it seems to also aid…
  10. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 29 May 2012 18:01 Monk, I was going to take the junkyard route like you mentioned but I'd rather just leave muffler off all together if possible.
  11. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 29 May 2012 17:58 The muffler broke off right where the flange bolts to the collector box. I read about the cold air getting sucked in and warping the valves also buy most of those complaints came from people who had bad header gaskets…
  12. '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? 29 May 2012 17:36 The muffler on my 93 came off (read: rotted and fell off) a few days ago. The sound really isn't that loud, compared to a Harley it is more like a loud whisper. My question is, can I just leave it off and ride without…
  13. Need fuel level sensor plug pics please!!! 15 Mar 2012 22:23 I found it. It was jammed down the side of the frame between the rear cylinder head, #3, sandwiched between two thick bundles of wiring harness, phew... should be riding by Saturday.
  14. Need fuel level sensor plug pics please!!! 15 Mar 2012 12:46 I'll look when I get home but I can't say I'm too inspired really, I swear I've checked every inch of the bike with a fine tooth comb and still can't find it which is why I was hoping for a pic. It's a '93, three prong…
  15. Need fuel level sensor plug pics please!!! 15 Mar 2012 02:24 This is real dumb but here we go. I absolutely CANNOT find the socket that the fuel level sensor from the tank plugs into. I know how lame this sounds but I am tearing my hair out over this. I unsecured the wiring…
  16. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 23:55 Holy crap, I heated up the new boots and swabbed the inside with dish soap and then pushed down on the front and rear and felt a very positive pop from the rear left carb (cylinder 1) and looked, it's defiantly in. But…
  17. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 14:22 Yeah I remembered hearing about a method involving ratchet straps but didn't know the whole process. I'm gonna try the dish soap/ oil trick along with the heat gun, thinking I might get lucky with that. @Eamann, looking…
  18. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 02:18 Small problem big headache, trying to pop my 93 carbs back into brand new insulators. I knocked the insulators onto both cylinder heads first, they are rather soft compared to the hard, 18 year old boots they replaced.…
