The line went with the brake line to almost the caliper. Had a pickup on the spokes. Not worth fixing . Find a newer bike speedometer that might last a little longer.
-
If the plug is `wet` then the engine is flooded. You probably have a pool of fuel in the crank which gets sucked up and wets the plug, fire out. Have you pulled the exhaust and plug and pumped it dry?
-
Just pull the gas line off and see for yourself!
-
Seems I only used off and reserve. Seems if I remember the CDI could break the petcock during a hard drop if left in the `on` position.

I always rode the beta in second. If you always rode in first I would get the half link and try it out. Otherwise go back to 10 t.
-
If you are lucky it will just be the gasket. But when it stopped it could have knicked the piston.
-
I would not risk a motor with cheap seals. The Beta ones are known to last many years!
-
No need for the mains from beta, just the seals and gaskets.
-
I`ve always worn moto-X pants for more protection. Most have shin guards built in.
-
Thanks Kramit, I had wondered for awhile about him. RIP Bob.

I also have a cota 200 and have not had an issue with the stock ignition. The stock flywheel is light for that era. Are you saying that you have changed to a lighter flywheel than stock?
-
Well being an Ossa rider I always thought they had it right! But I am also am one of the unlucky ones who have put the whole kickstarter in my leg!! ( It only blead a whole month) The best thought out engine ever was the Fantic. Forward starting kickstart.(If you ever rode one and had to start it in a awkward spot) Also the shift lever was the best ever!
-
Being one year apart I would go with the better condition/and or the one that was not ridden as hard. The Ohlins is better, better yet if you get the stock one also!

You have to remove the case. Then remove the snap ring on the plastic gear. The gear then comes off the shaft, it looks like the pin holds it,but it comes right off. There is another snap ring between the seal and the bearing. Fairly easy job if you have snap ring pliers.Check the shaft for wear. If it is not too bad polish up the shaft before assembly and grease the seal.

The michelin has directional and a balancing mark (dot). The directional does not seem to have a purpose. If you are a top rider rotating the tire for a one day event does have a purpose. If you are rotating to extend tire life you are actually just wearing it out faster. Rotating the tire will wear the height of the knobs faster, which means you will need a tire sooner.
-
Before you panic, I would drain the fuel and start over! Also check the tranny oil,OVERFILLED? Also check the packing in the muffler.
-
Rule of thumb, you need a new one. Now if you are refurbing an antique just for show try an upholstry shop. My well crashed helmets hang on a wall as troghies, the rest were thrown away as junk.
-
Forgot that since this is not a trials bike you might `fiind` a cooler rack and maybe splurge for a can holder.
P.S. Told ya this was easy!!
-
Yes , find an old super trap or some thing free for the exhaust and you will never hear the intake again. Besides that exhaust must weigh 20lbs!!!!
-
You go up on the pilot because it comes lean from the factory. Needle is non adjustable and if he wants to spend money there are several threads on other needles. At this point I would look at a larger cs. sprocket and in the future an adjustable cam chain sprocket which is only 20 dollars if you like a little work.
-
e Yes, I have an old set of orifice drills from my father. 76 or 77 sounds like what I used!
-
I do not remember what I drilled mine . I think the result was around a 45 or 48. The idea was stock was lean. Everyone always forgets the pilot always flows! Mine coughed and sputterd at mid revs and this fixed it. Good luck!
-
S_hit, give us a hard one next time. The pilot is too small, hard to find also. Adventure rider trials forum had a thread about cb400 jets. I `m inpatient. Drill it!! Also a larger CS sprocket can`t hurt. The air box needs all that silly stuff on top(the plasic looking pipes) removed they come right out and can be re-installed. The main could still be too small at your elevation. Seemed I had a 100 at 6000ft. If your main jet is as large as you say, try the air box first. Good luck!
-
60 psi will just give you a 60 psi tire. Takes almost 100psi which is dangerous. I always set my tire outside on a hose that I have a manual valve and wait for two pops plenty far from me with the door closed. It is worth it to fix the rim band. The only tire I have had luck with a tube and no rim lock is the dunlap. Michelin is the only tire you need a beader on, the rest should pop in place unless stored flat before hand.
