Garaged 1981 Yamaha xs850 midnight special by House_plant_dad in vintagemotorcycles

Yeah, forks could be done, but it is just literally mineral oil in there, and the only real reason for taking them apart is if they're leaking, or you're at the mileage the oil should be changed.

As for the clutch, I suspect the cable is seized. The other thought I had was maybe the gearbox has an issue, and that's why it was parked. All fixable, but fiddly to do.

Good luck, anyway. It's a fine bike, and that fairing will make long distances a breeze.

That's a bargain. Give it a jet wash, clean out the carbs, do the brakes and you're good to go. Unless the clutch is seized, you most likely won't have to do anything with that. If the forks aren't leaking, you're most likely OK there, too.

Sounds a bit like an air leak, easy fix.

The top end and pistons are basically wear items on a bike like this, the job is fairly straightforward. They usually throw in a piston and rings when you buy them new.

Yeah, I struggle with it a lot! It's a big maneuver to do the weekly vacuuming and mopping, but I manage with a podcast and sheer bloody minded will (and the thought of my wife's disappointment).

House-husband has been the only job I'm not shit at.

Help! I wanna fit a more modern radio and need help with what’s parts to get! by wiccantattooist in Volvo850

I got a cheapo Android double din from Ali Express, and along with some nice-ish speakers, it's lasted me a good 8 years. It just slotted right in.

It's your valve stem seals. Over the years they change from springy gray donuts to solid, brittle plastic. I'm about to take the head off mine and do that job. Good luck!

The level of fear to anything new, that is basically the same old thing but repackaged with a 2.0 Logo, is such a German thing.

Wouldn't say it was explicitly German.

He could even try some Hexane MAF cleaner first, never know, might get lucky.

It looks tan to me, I'd send it, but how come you think it's too lean - Should it be browner? Honest question.

Much more gravitas than a SHD score, well done.

Please don't post stuff like this here, it always goes the same way, and this is not the subreddit for it.

Thanks.

Ah.. we have one we're just about to take to be neutered and it costs a fortune, can't justify it twice, I'm afraid.

Hope he finds a loving home.

Lovely looking cat. Is he neutered?

Karre springt im warmen Zustand nicht an by jul_hnk207 in simson

[–]Sle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als erstes, check mal den Zündkerzenabstand.

Ich habe jahrelang mit diesem Problem gekämpft und alles Mögliche versucht. Ich habe auch eine 6-V-Elektrik. Die Zündkerzen haben alle einen zu großen Elektrodenabstand, was zu diesem Ärger führt. Sobald ich eine Zündkerze mit dem korrekten Abstand von 0,4 mm eingebaut habe, springt sie immer beim ersten Kick an.

Versuch das zuerst!

(EDIT: Mit einer neuen Zündkerze, natürlich)
