I got one of the ones from DB electric a couple years ago for my 81, it fit correctly and spun the engine over a lot faster than my old one. Not saying they couldn't be having the same problems now, but it was a good deal then.

It wasn't my first bike, but my first street bike i bought for $500 when i was 18. I wish i had it back, was a 1980 KZ650 in metallic blue. Sure had a lot of fun on that bike :Egyptian:

Been riding the aspencade to work most days in spite of the 100-106 degree temps............ :heat:

Had a new rear tire put on, I pulled the wheel and took it to my local bike shop where he mounted the new tire for free. I went with a new tire he suggested, a Michelin Commander that's supposed to have two different rubber compounds. A harder compound down the center for mileage and softer on...

lol, i save the cheap plastic containers from ham and turkey lunchmeat :)

ok guys, i am a forklift mechanic and i work on both gas and electric forklifts so i know my way around an ohm meter very well. One ohm resistance to ground is basically a dead short. when reading ohms, the higher the number, i.e. 50,000-2,000,000 ohms, the better your insulated. so aaples...

i agree with slabghost, 13.2 volts at idle is just fine for a 12 volt battery. I don't think any of my cages charge much more than that at idle. You don't want much more than 14.3 volts at maximum anyway. :)

Chas, that sounds like Murphy's tire and tube mounting lube :music:

BTW, I sure hope you are feeling much better, Joe. You are in our prayers, as you are in so many others

sure was a good time, Joe. Planning on doing a lot more of it this season. She has a twin brother and i also have a 16 year old girl that loves to ride, so I think they will keep me busy, lol. :Egyptian:

Then i had an 83 GpZ750 that was also a lot of fun, but a little too laid down riding position for very long rides

Took my Aspy for a 30 mile ride this evening with my daughter, just rode the back roads enjoying the views :music: Uploaded with ImageShack.us

sorry no pictures, but after the 1969 yamaha 125 enduro when i was 15, i bought my first street bike at 18, a 1980 KZ650 my parents cosigned my first ever loan and bought it for $500 :good: I had a lot of good times on that bike

Hey Slabghost, that Yamaha that was your first looks exactly like my first bike, except mine was white! 1969 125 enduro :good: :good:

I don't pray a whole lot either Joe, but I will pray for you........ God bless and heal you. Bob

Welcome to the site from Kansas :wave:

started building the manifold for my single carb conversion on the 83. No pics yet, but i'll try to get some loaded soon

Today i pulled the fairing, false tank and carburetors off. Carburetors are dripping fuel into cylinders causing bad fuel smoke on startup. I have had lots of trouble with these carbs despite them supposedly being rebuilt by PO (he paid Honda shop to do it) and having pulled them myself to...

Got to ride to work today, was only 32 degrees this morning but got close to 60 during the day. :cool: I can ride pretty comfortably for the 10 miles to work down to about 35 without getting any serious cold weather gear out. Thanks to the full fairing on my Aspy, lol

Belated Merry Christmas! lol Hope everyone has a happy new year :salute: Any good New Years resolutions out there?
