I have an 07 R1200RT myself. Great bike!

When I do my restorations I use a place called CB750FACES.COM for gauge parts. They have really nice stuff, and they are easy to deal with. I believe they are in the Netherlands, although I’m not sure about that cuz it’s been a couple of years since I’ve ordered from them. Anyway… I’ve noticed...

Did you try the drill in reverse? Counterclockwise? If I’m not mistaken, which is possible, it needs to run counterclockwise to make the speedometer work. You could pull the cable at the wheel again, spin the wheel, and see which way it turns. However, if you’re hearing a bunch of racket coming...

Next thing we’ll see is ORGANIC oil filters.

I ride mine also. But mine doesn’t sound like yours does. Like I said, maybe it’s just me. What do I know? I will just leave it at that… Have a nice day.

Maybe it’s just me, but watching your video I’m convinced that thing is not running on all four cylinders. It’s nowhere near as smooth as a goldwing should be. It should sound like a big sewing machine, and that video sounds like you’ve got two or three cylinders pushing a dead cylinder or two...

Well, he owns several Chevrolets, so he needs as big a tool box as he can fit in the garage. sorry… that was just TOO easy.

I have a Vevor 30 liter unit. If you want to do banks of carburetors without separating them you’re gonna need one that size. If I’m not mistaken, mine was around $250 or so. The cleaning solution I got off of Amazon for about $45 I think. For 1 gallon. It’s just for cleaning carbs in an...

I would have to agree with that. If it runs good once warm I would count my blessings and move on. You do have two beautiful bikes there, so I’m not sure I would sweat a small choke issue. And I know what you’re saying about being tired of messing with them. It took me quite awhile to get my...

For what it’s worth, I’ll toss in my 2 cents here. I recently restored a 77, and I too had a terrible time with the carbs. Even though the carbs were professionally rebuilt, by a person who is HIGHLY regarded by members of this forum, when firing up the bike, it ran pretty bad. I had to totally...

I have it’s much older brother… my latest restoration.

I was not aware that Castrol made motorcycle oil. I’ll look into that. I use Castrol in all of my dry clutch bikes, so if I can find some for my wet clutch bikes, that will work!

Castrol 20w50 is not meant for wet clutches. Put motorcycle oil in it!

And change the belts!
