1987 sorry

I have found an 87 Elite that has been stored in a guys house since new.He brings it out every spring takes it to the shop for service and putters around his neighborhood.1400 miles in 32 yrs.He wants 5 I am holding at 4.Good deal.Just sold a 94 and a 99 with AF16 motors built.Not Looking for blazin...

This post is motivated by no time and lazinesss.E start.on recently squired above bike does not crank.New battery toppeoff charge the starter is different from what I am used to sooo.What is most common malfunction?Should I start checking at switch or starter.

I bore cylinders for HD's daily and the advice above is dead on.The same shop you take it to can measure the bore taking scoring into consideration.You may need a second or even third over to get a good seal.

Thanks guys found the problem but now no Estart.Thinking relay or starter button starter motor doesn't make even a grunt and no dimming of lights when I hit the button.Thoughts?

I will grant this post is motivated by pure laziness but hey I am old and hoping someone with more Honda experience than me has a magic bullet answer.When installing a new battery in my recently aquired 99 low miles SA50 Elite I have no tailight no dash light or horn or starter.Fuse near battery che...

Got an interesting situation that poses this question.Bought a 97 Sa50 for a hundred bucks off c/l.Has spark and 130#s of compression.Body fair.Needed some lenses and the lower skirts and any better plastic than on first so I ran a c/l wtb ad for a parts bike with real good plastics including the su...

13/16ths or 5/8s and don't drink and work on stuff it'll kill you or worse your bike.

All excellent advise sounds like it's likely an air leak.If it has set for twenty yrs.I would replace crank seals as a matter of course.They dry out and crack.For the sake of long term reliability I always replace them in old 2t's.Also I use an unlit propane torch around manifold,carb and airbox con...

I am trying to gather info somewhat unsuccessfully but some of what I have observed is I "believe" the pe is a round slide and the Pwk is a flat slide.But that sure could be wrong.I have sent an email to someone who says he's the US rep but no reply.I would like to get a number a talk with...

How long did the bike sit since it ran?I have to go along with Mike and add to that.A recently purchased SA 50 I dragged home not only did that but the check valve on the oil injection apparently failed and absolutely filled the crankcase with it's own premix.I pulled the plug and Cvt cover and spin...

They are under 50 bucks for the pe.The black is powder coat.To be honest with everyone here we build racing and street 500 and 650 Yamahas.This started as a way to finance our racing but we picked up a partner selling our service and cams,carbs,pipes,ignitions for them.Now the vintage flat track sce...

Anyone have any experience with these carbs or know of a good link for some detail on them?My Google search hasn't produced much but they are attracticivily priced and look interesting.

For what it's worth I agree completely.Nice to know your head temp but plug chop all the way.
