That seems to be the most common complaint regarding oiled filters. It is my understanding that it is best to oil & let is set or hang for 1/2 a day. This allows any excess oil to drip off. I have a couple on cars & need to clean one of them. That is the way I intend to go about re- oiling. Tha

Not sure. I'm planning to have the wheels balanced with them in, just with a "spot" over the battery so it won't light up. -Kurt On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 2:43 PM, Kyle Munz wrote: > I've always wondered how those valvestem lights don't throw off the > balance. They weigh just as much as some whe

Update minus pictures, the camera's still in the garage all set up. I'll get pictures later once I have time to resize them and The left side pivot bolt takes a 14mm allen bit. The right side is a 10mm allen, and a 23/24mm or 1" deep socket can be cut down to make the tool for the locking nut. I c

So, to take advantage of this, I AM looking for some good turn signals. I'd like something a bit more understated than the ones here. If I can find some that match the angular lines of the bike w/ clear lenses and 3-wire pigtails on them I will consider them perfect, as I'm looking at doing four-co

nipple on bottom of carb (float bowl) is overflow tube (doesn't need a tube attached although originally it did directing any overflow out under the bike). If you have gas coming out of it then you have a stuck float or leaking float valve/seat. Sounds like carbs need to be removed and cleaned

Sounds like float bowl drains and/or overflow tubes. And there should be at least one tube connecting the carbs to one another. Try: http://www.servicehonda.com Click OEM Easy Search, then drill down -- Honda/motorcycles/1983/ CB450SC/carburetor -- to bring up an exploded view microfiche of the
