smccrory Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Cool commercials. I remember "Let the good times roll" (yes, I grew up in the 70s - I'm that old). And woot, I got out for 3 hours of riding on 4 bikes today! Edited March 11, 2014 by smccrory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I remember those old Kawi commercials too. Ancient but hold up better than the pic in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Got my bike home on a trailer. Looked it over, flat front tire. Replaced valve core, inflated and waited an hour, no leak. Put maybe 5 miles on just to satisfy the jones. It's so dirty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bolted on my first new goodie. Billet aluminum rear brake torque arm, had to order it from Britain. Took some minor modification, had to grind some relief on one side but can't be seen when mounted.and yes, my bike is dirty as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_c_F Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Got out for about an hour yesterday... it was beautiful. First time I'd ever really aired out that fizzer engine, too... wow. I know it's not the fastest bike out there, but it's the fastest one I've ever been on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Took mine to work today. Not bad this AM, 40's. Might take a little longer to get home though, 60's. Snow tomorrow?!? WTF!!! Sigh... forgot, this is Ohio weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Put a solid 100 miles on the bandit today. Having a fueling issue, if I get on it and stretch a gear out with 1/2-3/4 throttle it pulls like crazy but then wants to run like shit when just cruising, like it's starving for gas. It's intermittent too. Thinking my petcock may need rebuilt, just did carbs last year and stored it with stabil in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that for a tank or two. Seafoam, not some other brand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I know what dirty carbs do, this isn't that. If I put the petcock on prime it does it less. Ethanol in gasoline is bad for rubber stuff. I'll try the sea foam because it's less work but I'm pretty sure it's the petcock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
