I'm sad that you're leaving. You and your wife are wonderful to be there for
your father in law when he needs you most.

Best of luck to your father-in-law our prayers are with him and your family.
Everyone here is right, Bikes come and go but you only have one family. So
take advantage of every moment with them.

Hi all,
I appreciate all the help
Take good care of your family, you only get one. Despite our love

Sorry to hear about that Daniel. My mother had colon cancer back in
the 80's. Recovery today is greatly improved since back then and

Hi all,
I appreciate all the help I've been given from this forum... great
members. Unfortunately, I've sold the bike. My father-in-law has
been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, spread through his lymph
nodes and into his liver. He's had the colon surgery, is recovering
from that, and will s

If you think it's fuel, take the slides out of the carbs. You should

in the throat of each carb, replace the slides (and anything else
critical), and give it a spin. It oughta light up and run for a few

Congrats dude! I agree with the others though. Take your time, rent, or even
buy a compression tester. They're cheap enough and hand enough to keep
around. If the compression is off and the rings are fubar'd it's best to
know now.

Daniel,
So very glad to hear that you've gotten her rolling over!
Of course, fresh plugs and an oil change are recommended - Expect
some smoke on the first firing, the remnants of the penetrating oil will

Nice! Might want to find a friend with a compression tester or rent
one from Autozone and see if the rings were damaged at all but I'm
glad to hear you got it unstuck. Can you see the condition of the

Victory is mine!
Pulled the plugs, filled 'er up with Fluid Film (no one in any stores
here in Canada had even heard of Marvin's Mystery Oil) which is a
pretty good penetrator. Rocked it today in 2nd gear, and sha-zam,
fluid film shooting out the plug holes. Never been happier to see
such a mess

Daniel,
Get some Marvel Mystery Oil or another good penetrating oil (this
is not necessarily something for SeaFoam) pull the plugs out and let it sit
in the cylinders for an extended period. When filling up the cylinders,
literally fill them to overflowing - this way you will know if any
Well that sucks. If you get so inclined try taking the starter off
first just for giggles and try and turn the motor again.
I once helped work on a tractor that appeared to be seized. Turned
out the starter clutch had destroy itself and was preventing the motor
from turning. When we opened this
Alright, she's locked up tight. :( Off to see if this is a do-able

Graham is correct! Put the bike up on the center stand, and put the
shifter in second gear (makes engine easier to turn over than when in
first gear; you can even use 3rd gear). If you use 2nd or 3rd gear,

with the spark plugs removed and the bike on the main stand you can

To turn it by hand remove the shifter arm (one bolt) and then take all
the 8mm case bolts off the left cover of the engine. This will expose

Daniel,
Never having done it myself - I am not certain - but I would think
you'd pull off one of the covers on the side of the engine and either be
able to turn it over directly or put a socket on the end of a ratchet and do
it that way.
I have a 450, but I've never torn into the e
I can only find info about turning over car engines by hand, so I'll

Thanks for the reply, Joey. Not sure how to turn the engine over by
hand, but I'll research it and check it out.
