    how to...back registration in California

    I was cruising the dmv website and found a helpful link to some people out there. V C Section 9562 Waiver of Penalties and Registration Fees From what I understand from a different page (statement of facts) you can get the fees waved also by signing that the vehicle (car or bike) had not...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    I'll tell the guy they may need syncing too then. Told him about the boots and carbs being cleaned better and he's fine with it. I had some plans for the fz but no funds so made it rough. Plus the 600r has a sportier ride position so I'm kind of excited. I'm 6'5" and 240# so the fz was thin and...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    So I'm almost positive the idle is in the carb holder boots and carb. However it will no longer be my issue because I'm trading the 87 fz6 for a 90 ninja 600r and a 92 ninja 250. I feel like a trader cuz I love my fz but the trade gets me extra money from selling the 250 and without a job that's...

    I also really want to get the original air box but I can't for the life of me find it. Found the boots for 65. Had found them for 40 but I can't find the site again.

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Haven't had the time to tinker with the bike but I was told how to tell if it was the carbs or the boots and figured I'd post for comments or for others experiencing the same issue. Fire it up with gas tank off to the side to allow access to the carbs. Once started, put pressure from different...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    I will more then likely do that since I found some for 40 bucks complete set. One question I do have is should I stay with the k&n air filter pods or try to find an original air box? I got a buddy who has been working on bikes for years that's gonna help me clean my carbs the right way. Good way...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    I'm going to have my carbs cleaned by someone far more experienced then I as this is my first bike. I cleaned my carbs on my atv but I think these are far dirtier. One of my buddies said to fill a pan with gas and let them soak. Not sure if it'll work so once I scrape together 200 I'm just going...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Then its not the choke cuz its not a cable set up. Little piece of metal on the side, no cable...its a bar that is manually pushed on the side of the carbs to open or close the choke.

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    So someone mentioned to me it sounded like my choke was open. With the plungers down, is there any way the carbs will act like the choke is open? Could engine temp cause this? Is there any engine that will be a simple bolt on swap other then an identical engine as they are hard to come by...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Could very well be. I didn't even connect that in my head lol. Thanks for the tip on the boots. Flex seal is a spray rubber so I figured that might work but atv silicone is cheaper and easier to access. What could the high temp issue mean? Or cause it? What would cause this? I put up a search...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    So the new tank is on. Started up and rode fine. Went to bring it home and the rpm skyrocketed again during shifts. Made for a hard shift and I think its beginning to mess up the gears. Carbs were completely cleaned and parts lubricated for smooth movement. Don't have the cash for new boots so...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Sorry I haven't been posting. Had a busy past couple of days. I won't be back to working on my bike until the 25th when my tank gets here. I can't work on it at my apartment complex and the closest place is an hour away. I will continue to keep you all posted with what I find.

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    It doesn't stay idling that high, it'll randomly shoot up there and once it starts it happens more frequently during the ride. Once in gear and the clutch is slowly let out idle drops back down to normal. Makes me have to half engage the clutch at lights to keep it from being so high or turn the...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    I'll cap the one on the boot that the hose went to and run it to the carb once my tank gets here and let you guys (gals too for those reading this) and let you know how it goes. Tank should be here sometime next week. Could the hose being mounted wrong be the cause of the high idle? I couldn't...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Yeah there are nipples on the rubber mounts. The second hose from the pet**** went to the nipple on the rubber mount, not the carb. It's supposed to go to the one on the carb? I don't have any clue what was done to this bike before I got it so I'm teying to figure it out and get it running like...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    I cleaned the carbs and put them back together but I will be back down to work on the bike on Monday so I'll take the covers off and take pictures. Here is the picture of the carb with the super cool extra piece lol. One awesome upside down picture...easily corrected by standing on your head or...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    Is the vacuum hose supposed to go to the boot between the carbs and heads or into the top of one of the carbs? One carb is different from the rest having another outlet near the choke and it has a nipple on it. I will post pictures of it once I get to my computer instead of my cell phone. doing...

    high rpm when transmission isn't engaged

    It's got two hoses, one to get fuel to the carbs and one goes to the top of one carb. Jblk9695 says its a vacuum hose to actuate the fuel valve. When I blow pressure into the hose there is no free flow at all. It's like blowing into a completely clogged hose but the hose is clear and valve is...

    IT would appear off, run, and reserve. I'm getting a new tank soon so we will see on that one because my old one is super rusted inside with like ten holes. Could fix but its got a vicious dent and I don't want to deal with the bondo. We shall see what the new one has.
