Anyone know what size the main jet is on stock carbs and can you get bigger jet size. I cut exhaust tips off and took out baffles and fiberglass for a little more sound and engine breathing, now plugs are a little lean. I have to rejet but it's not like the hot rod days of old just take front...

Does anyone in this forum have any good ideas to install a case unto new rings. Piston holder or just fumble around in case and cross your fingers the rings slide into the bore at the bevel without breaking.

Can a 1982 front cover be adapted to work on a 1981 engine?

Hi everyone been busy transferring parts from my amazing parts bike with 25000 miles on it. Going to put the rear air shocks on and was wondering if there is anything I should do to the shocks before installing. They look almost new but just want to change oil in them and then install. Where...

So I got the engine from the parts bike I bought installed and running, WOW! Now I am working out the bugs. So I have this miss above 4000 rpm, and changed plugs and checked them out today. Looks like it is running lean and may have to rebuild the set of carbs that came with the parts bike...

I am looking for a set of standard pistons and rods for a 1100 engine. Does anyone here in this forum have any for sale that are in good shape? I would like a matched set. Thanks again, Steve J.

Well I split the case and it did have a bend rod on number 4 cylinder. Weird thing is there is no sign of the piston hitting the valves or spun rod bearing. The only thing I can think of if water got into the cylinder and the engine hydrauliced. Going to need a rod, rod bearings and other STUFF...

I got my wing done, (well done enough to go ridding) and the one thing that still bugs me about these 1100 wings is the 4th gear shifting. I have had 3 1100 wings and everyone of them was temperamental on the 4th gear shift. Is there any secret to getting a good 4th gear shift, maybe synthetic...

Anyone here ever try that setup with the carb manifold that you can put a 34 pict volkswagon carb to eliminate the four carbs. I have been giving it much thought and like the setup. Give me some feed back and thoughts on this setup? Thanks again guys, Steve J. :builder:

Hi all. I am doing another restore and am working on the engine which I split the case on. Here is my question, I read someones talk in another forum about the third gear in these bikes and how you can grind the edge off the dogs to make it shift better from the 2nd to 3rd shift. Has anyone done...
