I personally prefer the Staun or Trialhead deflator styles. They take a few tries to dial into your desired pressure but they are pretty straight forward. If needed you can also put them on and drive slowly for a while untill they are done, then take them off. I don't like removing the valve...

I dig that rear mounted winch. I know it must be heavy but I have secretly always wanted one! Brian

What a riot! :snorkel::snorkel::snorkel:

Hi, Is anyone here attending SAR City 2009? or Has anyone attended a past SAR City event? I'm curious to know what it is like, how many people usually attend. Thanks Brian

Andrew, If you already have a solution dedicated to the vehicle I think the high-powered portable version could be handy.

Darn, Tried linking to pics on my Mobile Me gallery. Apparently that won't work.

Friday night Amy asked me if I had any plans for the weekend or anything special I wanted to do. I hesitated for a moment of thought and then she interjected, "I bet you're jonesing to go for a ride on the new bike." Sold! I was agreed that Sunday morning was mine. Excited and wanting to make...

Temporary storage solution. I have some long term plans for storage, at this point I am planning on Packsafe tail and tank bags along with Ortlieb soft panniers. But for now I have added a Pelican 1550 to the rear rack! This will hold a small first aid kit, some water and a pair of street...

Ok, the bike, which needs a name come to think of it!, is all back together. I replaced the hot plug with the standard spe spark plug, I shimmed the needle up about 1/32 or 1/16 of an inch and I installed a new idle jet that is one size larger than standard spec, from 48 to 50. I also kept the...

Nice Rex! Glad to hear you're getting some seat time. I'm planning on a ride tomorrow morning. Brian

Going to Craigslist

They just grow up so fast! :wings: So now they can hike on thier own and get off my back! :elkgrin: Ok, I have two Kelty kid carrier backpacks for sale. One Pathfinder $75 In great condition, very clean and fully functional. It comes with a small backpack that zips on tot he back for...

Have fun guys! I look forward to seeing pics, hopefully the show is growing or at least holding its own.

Hi, My '88 NX650 has a cracked mounting tab on the back of the front fairing which casuses a bit of a rattle and the fairing to not be 100% secure. How can I tell what type of plastic the fairings are made of? ABS, PVC, Vinyl? Once I determine the material how can I fix it? Gluing, Epoxy...

Thanks Andrew. Great info, especially on the spark plug, I would have never thought. I bought a new, stock spec, spark plug the other day just to have in my spares/tool kit. I'll install it and see how things go. At this point I am on hold waiting for a new gasket for the carb fuel bowl cover...

Ok, new game plan, I got the chance to talk with an old-school Honda moto mechanic. He said that since the jets are the stock #155 and #48 all I should need to do is raise the needle. He said to move the c-clip on the needle one groove up. I soon discovered that the needle in this carb does not...

The issue is no where near as bad as the engine dying. It is just not as smooth as it was at altitude, a mixture issue.

Thanks Brian, So I am a bit baffled. The carburetor has the stock jets in it, Main 155 and Slow 48. This means that the carb jets were never changed out previously. I called a local Honda shop to ask thier opinion as I was wondering about maybe having them look at it and they told me that...

Ha Ha! Victory. I present to you a Keihin CVK40 Carburetor, commonly found on the NX650, the XR650L and the KLR650. I removed the rear fender and battery so that I was able to move the Airbox back enought to disconnect the Carb from the Airbox in the back and the Insulator in the front, then...

Thanks Andrew!
