She
doesnt have to UNDERSTAND it,... just make it so it entertains her,...
personally i like watching my bf go out and stun but it's a little more
entertaining to videotape too, and he appreciates it a lot as well!

Unfortunately
I have to report that the gf ran her alcohol mixture a little too rich
over the weekend. Early during practice I tried to tell her it to jet
a little leaner for Saturday night, since it was an endurance race and
not a sprint race. No way she said.
A little after midnight on a trip to the girls room, she went down
hard in a left handed hallway. Tragedy then struck when the fuel tank
lost its load through the filler neck. Several staff were needed to
clean up the fuel spill. She had to be towed back to the condo.
She was real hard to start on Sunday and I think she might be only firing on three cylinders.
Need to sell before the weekend...post a pic of what you've got to offer in trade here.
Jim

Well
if she runs stock lightwieght up front, loose in the rear, rough
lowside this weekend, ruptured fuel reservoir, and only firing on 3
cylinders, I am guessing she comes with a salvage title? No good to me
as a daily rider, but might be interested in picking her up if the
price is right. I could put some race plastics on her, and some other
aftermarket parts to spice her up, then just use her on the occasional
weekend for some race and/or track day action. Polishing pistons is a
must! Are her vacuum lines all intact? How is she on rubber wear?
Could she benefit from a Power Commander for reprogramming and mapping?
I have nothing to trade - so what kinda deal can ya make me?!

It comes with a junk title, but I know a good doc that can turn it
into a clean title. I always sunk my money into the motor and never
had enough extra cash for aftermarket hopup work on the front end.
Rear end is real loose and takes some getting used to. She has
bodywork in the closet for about any ocassion.
The main vacuum line attached to the filler neck is in great shape and shows very acceptable manifold vacuum.
Would like to trade this gem and some $$ for a newer model that requires less maintenance and gives a better ride.

I
guess the fact that she has been maintained in girlfriend status means
that she is certified preowned as opposed to used. I would also like
to know if she has aftermarket pipes, becasue the louder they are the
lower their resale. I mean, I'm not in the market being that I have a
pristine model that I have actually purchased. I agree the resale
dropped when I took her off the lot but she still runs great and is
good for hauling my kids here and there.
Oh yeah!! Greetings form the TLPLANET.

Ok Jim, since I am just looking for a weekend rider, if you throw
in some work up front and tighten her up the rear (I really prefer my
rides to be super tight in the rear), then I can prolly take the rest
as is and had hardware myself as/when necessary. Clean title is not
all that important, I kinda like a little em a bit dirty (you can be
little bit roughter with it than if it had a clean title, usually well
broken in, and able to do things that a new model isn't accustomed too
yet).
I do have a few follow-up questions however.
As a weekend rider, will her main vacuum line perform all weekend, and does she backfire or not? (I prefer not)
What sort of comfort can I expect on her for a full weekend of riding?
Is her seat saggy and in need of reupholstering?
Any rash on her bodywork, anywhere? If so any estimates for repair method and cost?
I may have additional questions.
At any rate, if we can work out the $, and some of the details, I might take her off your hands.
Oh and what about shipping? What about a "Fly-n-Ride" deal?

After a test ride, I think you'll want it for more than just
dabbling on the weekend, at least for a month or two if you're like me.
The main vacuum line performs best when the engine runs a little
alcohol blended into the intake mixture and always pulled strong vacuum
after I get done shopping for it. One feature that I haven't got
upgraded on it is that that the main vacuum line has a low capacity
filter that must be immediately emptied after use or else it will
definitely backfire through the intake.

Well
Jim, I am sorry to say that the backfiring problem is a deal breaker
for me. Best of luck in oyur effort to sell, trade, and otherwise
upgrade to a newer model. Those low capacity filters are a bitch!
Hopefully soon all new models will come stock with a high capacity
filter to prevent those pesky backfires.

Hello hello
And a Big Howdy from corvetteforum.com off topic board!
This just got posted over there a bit ago, its going over well!
Ive got a question, maybe if your piston isnt going all the way
into the bore, if you really force it, the manifold should accept
anything you can throw at it.
Be careful though, Ive heard of cases that, under severe use, the piston loses lubrication, and a ROD can Snap clear in half!
Im personally looking for a fresh one to break in myself!

Jim,
us two stroke guys know to pre-mix the oil before starting, that way
the cylinders are always well lubed. I guess that's why it only takes
2 full strokes to complete the combustion cycle.
Recent compression tests on mine reveal the seals need replacing,
but thats rather difficult on my model. And as I get older, a 4 stroke
is just more reasonable, so I may go that route.
Still just doing sprint races though, don't know how you endurance guys keep it up that long!

Jim,
Before you go out & make a quick swap for your girl, you might be able to do some quick mods to make her right for you.
First, from your replies about low vacuum unless you induce
alcohol, and occasionally running so rich that you need a clean-up
crew, you may just have an air flow problem.
You may only need something as simple as some collagen implants to
modify your velocity stacks. The increased airflow should increase the
vacuum, possibly alleviating the need for a high flow filter. You may
be able to bypass the filter all together!
The only problem with this is that with increased intake you will
have to make 'adjustments' on the exhaust side. The easy way (read
cheap way) to do this is with a slip-on. _BE SURE_ to use plenty of
anti-seize during the installation. You don't want to wreck a
perfectly good exhaust, or your tool, due to being in a rush &
trying to mount it dry. She WILL make more noise, but that is the
trade off for higher performance. You will know if your mods worked
when the intake noise sounds like you loosened all the belts on your
'85 AMC Pacer.
Good luck & best wishes with your repairs. If you need a
spanner tool, just PM me. I would be glad to get out of the garage to
do some side work.

Those are some great points you've made. I think I might just add
some silicone to improve some critical areas that have degraded over
the past couple years. Then I'll do a leakdown check by sealing off
the intake and exhaust ports with suitable equipment and see what it
will hold. I'm suspecting that intake side might have a bad seal from
the abuse I've given it over the years (I don't always let it warm up
before hammering on it). The exhaust valves seal tight, no worries
there.
Hopefully with these mods and running race fuel (alcohol), it'll be
able to run with the newer models and have equivalent curb appeal.
Jim

Hey Jim,
If it doesn't hold up to the "upgrades", I'll take the bottom end
off your hands. You can keep the jugs and the head with those "blowby"
problems 
Forget Supersport, Superbike is the way, I'll rebuild that thing from the bottom up and on the cheap for the loooooong haul!

I
need to get some more info in order to decide if it is what I want. How
much sag is she set at now(front and Rear)?does she a slick finish on
her or is she furred out? Does she mind being left in storage for days
at a time and then riddden hard and put back in storage?Has she had a
recent tech inspection?I would not want her to have any wiring problems
or contaminated fluids.

What
happens when you plug her into your PC for a map change? Once she down
loads this virus the brain box will lock up and you'll be doing no
riding. Hand mechanicing only just like the married guys. She'll just
be good for posing now, standing next to em taking pics, just like the
married guys, of course married guys have a few YSR50s surounding them
as well.

Jim,
I vote that you let Hondahottie give her a test ride on a closed
course, and then we be allowed to view video footage of the test
session, that way we don't have to worry about our own tes-rides and
can make our decisions on her roadworthiness.

Is she a good ride?
What
model year is she? I know that the older they get the more difficult
it is to determine an exact year of production. A visual inspection
typically gives you a rough estimate. Another way to get an
approximation of age is to examine what style accessories the ride
currently has. The stylistic changes are often not compatible
throughout the years (i.e. newer styled accessories just don't fit on
older models, or just look really out of place). Is she top-heavy or
does she carry her weight down low? Does she have a rough time
starting on cold mornings? I imagine I would have to prime her a bit
on days like those. Is she of a domestic make or foreign? I'd
interested in her if she is a metric ride, American ones are so
unpredictable and testy. Is she high maintenance? Or can I get away
with only working on her every now and again but still have a great
ride when I want one? How long of a ride will she accept or how far
can she go before needing to stop? And most importantly, Will any
saddlesoreness occur if I'm going for an Iron Butt marathon ride?
btw: Cheers from BeginnerBikes.com!

rental service
I
could pick her up if she's reliable. I run a local rental service. Most
customers just want something to ride for a day or a weekend without
the hassle of ownership. Others like something they can take out and
ride hard with out worrying about any damage done to their own ride.

to ride. I'll have to admit that all mileage to date has been with a
male rider.
I'd probably get a kick out of seeing a girl ride it, but I'll
probably get pissed if the lady posts better lap times on it than I do.
I definitely get some video,
Jim

How is her tramsmission, does she grind in any gears?
Does the stick pop out of gear if you pop the clutch?
Does it whine at any certain speeds?
BTW, shout out from www.notquitereality.org
Your GF twin sounds like a good trade-in, many guys go for a smaller
ride, even though hogs are where the real fun's at! A large exhaust,
and a smoooooth ride, and you can always spot one no matter how the
owner dresses it.

Jim,
Can this model be converted to a desert bike? How's the clearance?
Will I need to install a skid plate or does it take rocky action pretty
well? In fact does it prefer the road less travelled or only known
paved roads?
Can it take long hard rides between pit stops or will I have to get a larger tank for it?
Now bear in mind after a fifty mile loop I take a quick pit and
then right back out for another hard fast ride. Can it do this without
complaining and raising much of a fuss or will I need to have a spare
ride waiting for me? Please don't tell me it requires a full
maintenance check and cool down while in the pits as that would pretty
much rule it out. At least as far as being very competitive anyway.
If my buddy breaks his ride will this one object to being loaned
out for the day? Will it object if I borrow my buddies ride for the
day?
I'm sure I'll have more questions but I'm almost positive we can
reach a deal here. If not I've told some friends about this offer and
I'm sure they will be along shortly.
Best regards,
Loren

Im new to all of this, Il take the most worn out, most abused POS I can find...as long as the price is right.
I dont care if the body is thrashed from spendng alot of time on
the ground...heck, the way I go, it will probably be spendign alot more
time on its side!
Is she heavy...I mean, how bulky is she? If she rolls over on me...will I die

clean..Im looking forward to installing it on er and breaking it in!

I'd
like a second ride for occasional scratching, but my current model most
certainly wouldn't allow it. There's really only room in the garage
for one anyway, no matter how many others I lust after. I may not be
riding a Benelli, but she's paid for and mechanically sound.

Dude,
how about instead of moving on, just adding to the collection? Variety
is the spice of life you know. Just park her in a shed of her own, and
pull yourself into another garage.
If you are lucky, you may find out that the new ride is cool for
some two up riding, and maybe the old ride can be converted. Sure a
little plastic body work would help there.

I'm not sure if this is a joke thread or not , but I'm looking for a dual-sporter.....How does she handle the rough stuff and is it safe to try doubles on her?
Does she loosen up on hard rides or does she stay tight? TIA

I
would also like to sell or trade: Older model 2 stroker (gawd what I
wouldn't give for at least 4 strokes); comes with large spare tire;
gaskets probably need tightening because he's starting to backfire all
the time; piston isn't firing as well as when new and takes some extra
coaxing to get the engine revving; extra grips have been added over the
years (mostly around the mid section) and will include these in the
deal; Sleek MX style tank, pipe and graphics have been replaced with
IMS extra large desert tank, FMF Phatty and AMA District 37 Desert
Racing logos and t-shirts.
Will trade for newer dirt model that does not have the 12 oz aux
tank permanently installed and has some knobbies left in all the right
places; Would prefer one that knows how to use the "magic button" so we
don't have to kickstart things to get in gear; Remote start not an
option since this requires a remote control and all older models have
one permanently affixed to the manual operation mechanism; Newer model
must be able to fire on first kick and keep engine revving long after
it has boiled over for optimal user gratification. Will consider dual
sport option if the flipside has the same equipment as this user.
P.S. Checking in from So-Cal... Stinkbug - with the current
CARB/DMV restrictions on dual sporting in Cali, you would be wise to
stick with the straight ride option...

another interested party here but need a few Q's answered before i can make any kinda offer.
you say "box included" exactly how big is this box and is it clean?
i don't want any rough cut box! will you part out the box seperate for
the right price. basically, this is all i really am looking for. what
else has been in this box? or is it basically used for this single
purpose?
now if this is a package deal, i am simply looking for somthing to
ride hard this summer and dump come winter as i live in the north. i
would not be opted to keep 'er in storage in the winter and maybe rev
the h#ll outta her once or twice a month to keep the pipes clean.
Also, and this is important, does she take well to new riders.
since i am simply looking for the box i would like to loan her out to
new riders for training purposes. no money would be invloved as a few
friends of mine have no idea what a nice ride is like. can she handle
being tossed around by a newbie?
the more i think aout it now i wouldnt mine having her for a few
night rides in full dress, does she clean up well, say if i take her in
a field and ride her hard stripped down durning the day? how well would
she take to a nice qujiet ride in the woods? can i install an insert in
the tail pipe if needed for this?
either way i wouldnt be putting much into her as i just want
something that can handle multiple riders and then dump her come fall
or better yet, give 'er to my father.
need more info on where you picked her up at as i saw similar on ebay but she was pretty banged up.
well, sorry for the long post but if you want to dump em both quick
you can reach me at (920) 555-1212. if you can't reach me there, just
give me a call.
Thanks,
intereted party

 Look no further JIM
Jim
I am new to this board, was told about it from my good buddy
Loren.....He thinks I might have a crack at her. He thinks I have the
charm and smooveness to get 'er off your back.........I am not much
into woo-ing them but can usually sneak my way into their hearts....If
you wanna dump this ungrateful woman of yours because she's not into
the same things that you are in to, I am the man to do
it.................I only ask one question before I take her off your
back.....................at 5'5 and dirty blonde (which is normally not
my type but...) will do it for you (my new friend)..............I need
to know..................does she have a set of ears to hold on to ?
This is my foremost concern as I really need to keep a rythem.
lemme know and i just might send you a picture or 200.

Does
she come with any type of aftermarket seat or tank cover? Most times
when I ride for extended periods of time my ass starts to hurt and my
knees start to cramp so this would be a necessity. Plus if she is left
in the the sun for awhile with a tank pad you can just jump on and
start riding without worrying about discomfort. Do you have a manual
cam chain tensioner installed? After being dropped a few times I would
think that the cam chain would be stretched a bit and the tensioner is
near the end of it's useful life. I know that they don't increase
performance but at least it has the possibility of saving some major
money and reduces the chances of a too soon rebuild. Do the gauges
work properly or would they need a bit tweaking to read properly?
Being that she is a bit of an older model normal wear and tear is set
in and I wouldn't want to get in trouble for speeding because of a
faulty gauge. Also, currently what kind of mileage do you get out of
her? I am looking for something that doesn't need to be refueled
frequently, it just bugs me if I have to stop every couple of miles to
stick a nozzle in her to pump a few gallons in repetitively over the
duration of a trip. If she is carb'd when was the last time that they
were sync'd together? I have heard that this can be a pain to do
properly and you have to have extreme patience and attention to detail,
the end product would be a smooth running bike that gets great mileage
and without the worries of running too rich or lean in any cylinder.
I'm new to bikes and am looking for a weekend ride that I can tweak
every now and then but I don't wish to dump lots of money into
initially. Reliability and a low initial cost would be the key to a
done deal.

Any idea of previous ownership? Service History? Was she run in
properly? Do you have a service book, or does one have to judge the
wear and tear on close scrutiny??

Man
thats why ya always check the title history. After what you have
described I am almost certain I was a previous owner. If so I feel for
ya because I lobbed her many times while she was mine. Just like
always she was never the same after I laid her down hard that first
time. I tried everything to get that "original feel" back but it was
never the same. I finally found the feel problem. I found that after
a while the inner fork tube didnt fit the outer. Somehow the outer
fork tube got bigger without me knowing how? From that day on
everytime I rode her it just wiggled around in there especially when I
really tried to push her hard. Needless to say this took all the fun
out of the ride so I traded her. I have pics if ya want to compare
to see if we talking about the same ride!

I
currently have a 'busa and was wondering if yours would be faster than
mine, mine is very high maintanence but runs great in every other
department. Only problem is any "spicy" additives such as nitrous smell
bad coming from the exhaust. Exhaust seems to be a problem with mine
maybe a bad muffler? Also sounds very loud and obnoxious.

Very interested in buying for stunt riding...
Since
you mentioned the loose rear end and the tight front, I might be
interested. I ride in quite a few endo contests, and I'm always
looking for a new challenge. The rear wheel is never on the ground, so
rear end stability isn't much of an issue for me beyond the launch.
Given the fact that I'll be riding her almost upside-down with her
front end down low, how does she perform balancing on her head with the
ass end in the air? I know it's a fairly acrobatic position, but you
seem to have a good bit of experience with this model- so I'm sure
you've tried it once or twice before. I just need to know how well
she'll hold up in this position for extended periods of time at
extremely high velocities.
How is the front brake? I like a good amount of control up front-
plenty of clamping action on my front hardware, but without too much
bite. A little roughness is ok, but I don't like to see too much long
term damage after a performance.
I'm confident that the loose rear end will suit my needs just fine
for a hard landing after a long run. Does she like her tail being set
down hard on the concrete after being airborne?
I have cash in hand, and am willing to buy without trade to add to
my collection of hard ridden twins if the specs match up with my needs.
I do wear them out pretty quick...
Greets from HondaSwap, and thanks for the great laugh!

Fantastic!! I think this is a match made in heaven. She's
definitely a showboater and performs best when there's an
audience...sometimes too good.
She's used to being ridden a little hard and under adverse
conditions. She definitely can go longer than most riders can endure
though, sometimes after the rider jumps off she'll kick into autopilot
mode and run a few extra laps/tricks until she runs out of gas. This
is pretty cool to watch
