Hey everyone I have a 82 GPZ 550 I took it for a cruise today and as I was in third gear it started bogging and died on me. It would not start after that. When it bogged and died there weren't any funny or odd noises. I pushed it home and I havent been able to start it the whole day? The oil is...

Hey folks. 1st time posting on here. Hoping some of you can shed some light on a potential new purchase for me. A local fella has an '84 zn1100. I've googled, but haven't turned up much info on these things. Are parts hard to come by? Are they decent machines? This particular one has...

Is there a source for finding travel bags made for vintage enduro's? I'm not looking for my ke100 but rather a 83 Yamaha xt250. I know it's not a kawasaki but there doesn't seem to be a better forum than this for vintage bikes ( if there is a good forum for vintage bikes specifically enduro's...

700 yamaha maxim, noticed the left side started a little miss yesterday. Became hard to start and keep running. I would hit the start button and it would fire right up before but suddenly it needed half choke and would run for a few seconds and die. Would not take any throttle and then a few...

This thing has been sitting in the same place for five years! I spoke to the owner again today and he just laughed at me when I offered him $500 for it. His only comment was,"Not even close!"... Whats it worth Jeff Saunders?...Engine rotates and the carbs (in the house) have 17mm plugs in the...
Hey folks...just joined. Looks like a swell forum with a lot of well-informed members. I've been looking for a bike for a while and, though I wasn't looking for this much of a "project" (read: basket case), I couldn't pass up this Big Horn for $100. Someone had to resurrect it or it would...

hey quick question for all of you. i have a 77 kz750 b2 twin. but it has a mikuni bs34 carb instead of the usual bs38. when riding it bogs down as i accelerate and maintain a higher rpm. the previous owner put pod filters on it but it never ran after he "fixed it all" so i got it running and...

I have checked all the bulbs in the DC circuits (turn signals, brake light etc) and all the bulbs are burnt out. With the bike idling I get 7.5 volts at the battery and a 1/4 throttle I get 8.4 volts at the battery. I am assuming this is overcharging and thereby blowing out all the bulbs in the...

A little off topic, but will appeal to the craftsmanship and "vintage" in us! Anders Bike Shop (http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_anders_bike_shop.html)
Earlier post on gpZ900 thermostat issues and additional fan contributors helped one realize one was not alone with the dodgy over-heating issue..In fact, seems to been that way from day one if you read period road tests etc. OK, have done the manual switch route for the radiator fan' ...
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this whole thing as I just bought my first bike and shes an old '73 Kow F7-B 175. She runs great except for some RPM issues. But I think it has to do with it warming the engine up alittle before it can run pretty good. If I still have problems with it Ill probly post it...
