Hell, I didn't even know there was basketball before LeBron.

Sorry, I just seen your question. How about $10 plus shipping?

A local school teacher was talking of selling his 250 Ninja for $2000, if you would like I will ask for sure if he wants to sell it.

CrazySkullCrusher did a good job on a set of Yamaha carbs for my kid and is a lot closer to you. I won't dis Greg's ATV because he has give me some great prices on parts over the last several years and even helped work some shocks for my Dad's race car a few years back. All that said, go to Crazy, he is a lot closer. EDIT, LOL, crap I just seen this was two weeks old, add face palm here.

I bet Tonik will still think it sucks.

I used to dive for the fire dept. and the Treasure Cove in Niles used to have some killer deals on dive gear. I haven't been there in 20 years but it may still be worth a look.

Back up for air after a year, I hate to throw out good stuff.

The front tire was about 12 pounds low, rear was about 5 pounds low. With the front tire off the ground the steering was stiff, the wire guide that holds the handlebar cables/wiring in place along the frame seemed a little tight so I bent it a little bit and that helped. blueskeyes, if you are talking about a rear tire, it has a 180/55 ZR17 on it now. First chance I get I will have to take it for a ride and see if it made a positive difference.

If you need it, I have a new in the box K-N filter for that bike. Just let me know if you need it, cheap.

There used to be a real good Suzuki forum with great Bandit coverage, this was a popular hop up and I know you can do it. However I would like to ask what your opinion is on what might be actually gained since the Bandit tranny always seems to need another gear?

Sorry Cdubyah, I just seen this, do you have a twin brother in Newark? I had talked to a guy from that area that could be your stunt double.

Will do, thanks.

I tightened the pre-load on the spring to stiffen the shock and I believe I put a couple clicks on the compression and or rebound, maybe too much. I'm bigger rider but non aggressive and the suspension was soft even to my 150 pound son so I did these things to try to stiffen the ride a bit so it wouldn't bottom out on expansion cracks. I don't remember the steering being as stiff last year as it was the couple rides it has been on this year, as a matter of fact my son was the first to ride it this year and he was complaining how he felt like he was fighting the handle bars.

If I over stiffen the rear shock on my Bandit 1200S will it make pushing/pulling the handle bars feel like pulling a boat oar thru syrup? I can't remember if it felt that bad last year and it feels ok when sitting still so I don't think it's steering head bearings, any input from the suspension guys?

I was thinking I ran across him before but probably not. Thanks

Who is the guy in the middle of that pic, closest to the gold bike?

Looks like you got it covered with help already but CrazySkullCrusher can handle the problem.

I'm glad I didn't decide to try to make it over, the wind over on this side of the state was enough to put you back in the garage.

Ah, that sucks, but couldn't you wait until after Thursday to post this?

CrazySkullCrusher, I will save your number and let you know how the Seafoam works. I actually thought of contacting you as you are the closest that I know who don't mind carb work. Thanks. Have a good friend that is a wizzard with bikes but with his health the last couple years I don't want to bother him.

Prayers sent <><

I have no idea when the last service was done or how long it has been sitting but we will give the Seafoam a try and see what happens, can't hurt right. I hope that it works and it's not a more serious problem, I have near zero success rate working on a four carb set-up. Doesn't make sense that I have done many singles and even a couple two carb set-ups and they worked but four carbs and I fail.

My son bought a 2000 R6 and it seems to have a jetting problem, it has at least a LeoVinci muffler but not sure about the head pipe. It starts and runs at idle but if you give it throttle and let off it blubbers like a fouled plug as it revs down. It also blubbers while riding if you stay at a steady throttle or speed, sounds as if it has a fouled plug but if you rev into it it seems to run until you steady at a throttle position. I doesn't seem bad under power but holding steady or letting off it's like it has a bad plug. Does anyone have any ideas. Plugs, coil, jetting? .

Hey Casper and whomever, I logged out well over a month ago and I can visit the forum just fine. Well I can't see some pics and I can't post anything of course being logged out. I decided to try to log in again tonight and I still have the same problem, as soon as I log in and try to change pages I get the HTTP 500 error. I can't get a screen shot of the error but I copy and pasted it, ______________________________________________________________________________________________ In this spot there is a lower case "i" inside a blue circle, then these words, The website cannot display the page __________________HTTP 500 Most likely causes: The website is under maintenance.

Like I said, if I stay logged off I can change pages at will but can't see a lot of pics and can't reply to threads. This is the only forum that hates me at the moment, after all these years I am still a computer dummy, I can go from one forum to another but don't have a clue how to change most settings or what most of this stuff means. I am not much help in getting help, sorry. I will have to log off to get back here so if someone answers me it might take a while to respond back. Insert double facepalm smiley here.

This sucks, I have to google my way in and play games to get to a different topic. Any try to go to the forums page results in an HTTP 500 error code and then I have to google in again. I tried to log out and clear the cookies but that didn't work either, screw it, I give up.
