Hey tn_cb250,you posted that the guy would supply you with a honda part number for that high performance carb.....can you post it for us? Also,what were your...
Here's a quickie contest for those staying around home this weekend. As usual, the game plan is posted in Files. It starts now and ends tomorrow night at...
... Thanks for the tip. It tired reseating the cable myself (not sure how I missed the retaining screw) without success. I took it to the shop today and they...
... Mark, The results were great! The bike top speed increased almost 10 MPH which in my case was great since I weigh about 300 pounds. There was no stumbling...
Is it bad that I never turn the petcock (fuel valve) off? As long as I have owned the bike I have never turned it to the off position, just leave it on, has...
... If you ride every day, probably not so much. If you let it sit for two weeks (like I did once..), it'll gum up your carb. -- Neil T. Dantam [Non-text...

Well, I actualy logged my first 150 miles on Nitey and heres a little note I sent the original owner, I'm still having issues with this crappy carburetor, low...
... There are two gates between the tank's four gallons of gas and the ground. One is the tank petcock, the other is the needle and seat controlled by the...
My '99 has about 6,000 miles on it now. I have never done the needle/shim mod, though I do have a bit of the hesitation others complain about. I have run it...
-- You mean just hand the carb off to a dealer for a cleaning/freshing up, that would probably cost more than a new one!, wouldn't it? I think though that...
The Kawasaki ended up (round numbers) around $100 per carb. But, with four of them, there were o-rings on fuel manifolds, synchronizing, etc. that added to...
I do ride everyday (or just about everyday some weeks), and I park outside in a parking lot. But, I guess I could turn it off, might have to get up a few...
... I dont know. It was more of a rhetorical statement. As I have never done it before, if there is some issue, then leaving earlier is how I would most...
For the record, closing the tank tap does nothing more than stopping fuel flow from the tank. The carburetor is not affected, there is still has enough gas in...
I love my CB (which I call Black Phoebe, after a favorite bird), but I must admit this little charmer really steals my minimalistic heart. It's a Yamaha 125...
There are other reasons for shutting it off beyond what has been mentioned already. If your bike is knocked over in the parking lot (it happened at a ...
... Looks like a nice bike. I'm a bit prejudiced against Yamaha (not great overall parts support, in my opinion). If you don't plan on riding on interstates...
The petcock on my '95 NH does not respond quickly enough when switching from ON to RESERVE to keep the bike going in traffic when the fuel runs low. This ...
... There shouldn't be any delay unless, after switching the petcock to OFF, you run the carb empty before turning the bike off. Which isn't recommended, btw....
... 125s are great fun around town because they are almost as nimble as a bicycle. The last one in my garage was a '97 Suzuki GN125 http://tinyurl.com/yp2mk8...
I rented 125cc Honda(dream)semi-automatic motorcycle in Cambodia and it was a lot of fun to ride. I"m 6'2" so I was sitting on the back seat with my feet on...
Wow, the cb 400 looks like the ideal ticket. I wonder, how reliable is it compared to the 250 (which is solid as a rock). And, I wonder how it would drive as...
... It is a beautiful bike! It would be as tough or tougher than the CB. Though it is heavier, handling would be similar. We don't get it because the...
