Dragged it out of the shed, put the battery back in and she started right up. Believe it or not this picture is before I cleaned

If it helps What the connections look like https://goo.gl/photos/XY3xEFxnCjLtLu487

Only thing I found was when I first did it I just hooked up the rubber hose to the vacuum feed nipple and it gave a poor reading on the gauge, just bounces like crazy all the other three where on those copper pipes, I removed the nipple and screwed the pipe in instead so you get a better...

I balanced the carbs on my 1997 Blade Not sure on the setup on your bike but with the blade you balance them to carb 3 which has a vacuum connection for the fuel tank. Video on the connections on mine if it helps https://youtu.be/SDhbXYrArD0 I found that you can use an old...

Broke down :( Just didn't want to start seemed like a fueling issue Cleaned the carbs, changed the plugs its been running rich for awhile. it has a Dynojet kit on it so moved the jets and leaned it off, its back up and running and a lot smoother. Still some tweaks, almost back...

+ 1 for the checking the rectifier try and get a volt meter across the battery see what its putting out Had the rectifier go on the fireblade and it cooked the battery

I prefer the looks of the older blades with the single under seat exhaust. If you want a bike with some character it doesn't have to be so new. Because its so easy to get new bikes everyone seems to have the new ones, so you are more likely to see someone of the same bike as you. Plus its...

Anyone know were I can find these http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h100i-gtx-h100i-v2-color-kit Had a look on the OC site and can't find them anywhere

Put the blade on the Dyno, its running rich and this comfirmed it, it has a dyno jet kit installed but it needs tweaking so a job to do when its dry, was still fun to watch it. Pictures and Video for you guys LOUD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-MRf3JYHPk

Just waiting on the 1080 to arrive

Yer the previous owner spent 2.5k on it taking it down to the frame and back again, I love the bike and going to try and keep it as clean as I can. Only thing I might do is drop and paint the engine over the winter Its a 1997 with 37,000 miles on it, not that it looks like it does, its in...

You can get tiny LED indicators, but they will need proper wiring in, not a really quick job but manageable

Got it back on the road after the battery decided to cook itself

Sorry for some reason not getting email alerts from the forum. Its done 37,000 the last owner only did a few hundred but the owner before him worked in the motorsport industry and supposedly spent a lot of money on it, including stripping it down and painting the frame and swing arm. Got...

1997 CBR900RR Fireblade Few bits to sort, want to get it tuned as I think it might be running a bit rich, and just give it the once over, not that it needs much doing to it

Cheers

I take it you are talking about RST Waterproof 1 Piece Suit - Black Might have a look at that

I like the looks for these, seen a few reviews of them leaking but then a load that say they are great in the rain I know there is no such thing as 100% waterproof when it comes to bike gear, just hate getting wet nuts

Its going to be for winter only, I have summer gear so looking at jacket and trousers. I have a weise oversuit, but not a fan of wearing it, rather the jacket and trouser combo

Ok so I commute all year and the gear I have been using (weise x blade) has finally started to leak, they had a good run but looking to replace them Anyone have any recommendations, want something warm and needs to be able to hold up against driving motorway rain, happy to pay a bit more for...
