  4. CRF - New Forum!
    Hi guys. My friend and I recently installed new gears in my CRF 250 R 2007. All works great apart from ive now noticed my bike seems to be getting very hot very fast. Literally within 10 seconds of starting it the pipe at the front is scorching hot! I rode it briefly mainly to test the gears and...

    I bought and rode home 130 miles this xrv750 it ran great, if anything it's a little over fuelling as it's popping when you ease off the throttle, when I picked up it had very little fuel in as I just manage to get to the garage as I had to switch over to the reserve, When I got home...
  6. Varadero
    Right guys after my first successful post on the forum I am back again in need of help! So I am well versed in carburettors however with all the tubing attached to the Varadero I am a bit bemused. Just started her up this afternoon and fuel began spewing out of one of the overflow pipes which...

    Hi All, I fiilled up with fuel the other night, and immediately fuel started coming out of one of the draining pipes at the bottom of the bike. Thought initially it was a stuck float in the carb, but it turns out the drain pipe (for when you overfill the tank) that runs from the tank cap...

    hi everyone i'm new to the forum! I have recently got hold of a transalp 650. Stupidly I dropped it on its right hand side while taking it off its centrestand. iT WAS a controlled drop not a sudden one. it lay there for about 1 hr before I could get help to lift it off again. When I restarted it...

    Most of Henrietta is now back where it should be and looking tidy. Under the tank is just the fuel pipe to the pump but the parts diagram seems to show other hoses (parts 45, 46 & 48). there seem to be 2 short pipes under the tank (nr the fuel tap), one is 10.5mm and the other 5.5mm. Does anyone...

    Hi Guys, the question might seem stupid but it is annoying. When I leave the bike parked I always find some drop of... well, it does not seem to me oil, I am keeping checking the level. Petrol? Last week-end I took off the tank for the first time (I am learning how to do things frequenting...

    Hi Guys I have followed the thread on atic.org how to change the fuel system on a RD07 to RD07A for easier starting. http://www.atic.org/faq/ventilation.php I was not able to get T-connectors for big and small fuel line on the same connector so used the small tube all the way. The bike...

    Hi All I've fitted an Acerbis tank to NX650 but recently it has a couple of times been leaking petrol from either the overflow pipe or carb!! any thoughts anyone. Last time it emptied itself!
  13. Transalp
    There are times I'd like to line up a few of Honda's designers and pelt them with cannonballs made of their own excrement. Sometimes I wonder what they were thinking, or if they were thinking. One of these is the idea that you have to disassemble the exhaust, including headers, to do the...

    I'm getting my cb400n up and running but having a small carb issue, I'm using a drip feed system for petrol just now and I'm getting fuel pishing out the right hand carb at this bit A small pipe with 2 holes in it. What is this ? Overflow? and am I just forcing too much fuel through? It only...
  15. Transalp
    Hi, I'm trying to get a TA 650xl to run that's been standing for years. The carbs were totally gunked up inside and the bike was pouring fuel out the overflow under the bike after running for a bit. I've rebuilt the carbs and re-fitted, but just thought I'd check the oil again today before...
  16. Transalp
    Hi, I've got a 650xl which has been standing for around 5 years and I'm trying to get it running. It's done less then 3,000 miles from new. It would not start. I tried to drain the carbs. Green goo came out, so I removed the carbs and sprayed carb cleaner in everywhere I could until all ran...

    Merry Christmas guys. I've spotted a major fuel leak from another bike I've got, it's an inline 4 and the 3rd carb is leaking from the float bowl overflow pipe. She was fine about a month ago when I last fired her up. I've taken the carbs off for a look and both the float bowl itself seems ok...

    How to delete a google apps script service?? Muggins here thought that a script to dump all the attachment files received to my Gmail account into a Google Drive folder seemed like a really good idea. In fact, it is a really great idea, but for the fact it doesn't work. Every day I get an...
  19. Varadero
    A word of warning for vara owners who remove their fuel tanks! When I came to refit the tank I fitted the two fuel hoses (same sizes) to the wrong outlets. I then filled the tank and left the garage in a hurry - after ten yards and at 20mph the back wheel spun, then gripped, then spun again -...
