Re: Cycle whore thread
I lived on the peninsula from like Oct 07 - Feb 08. Really liked it, but had to move back to this side after roommate had some things come up... room was no longer available. Family takes precedence, which I completely understand and agree with.

Re: Cycle whore thread
So I've got the VFR...and the GF has the 500R...and I found this bike FS on Craigslist. It's a '91 CBR600F2. Bike wouldn't keep running without choke at full (pilot/idle jet clogged). Brought it home cleaned the carbs and the jets, threw the carbs back on, slapped on the tank and she fired right up. Doesn't even need the choke to start now that it's summer. I still need to sync them but it doesn't sound that bad. Missing the windscreen though. After I got it running I found it needs a new clutch set, or the springs are really weak. I'm going to pull them and hit them with a caliper to find out if I'm within spec or not, if not I'll change the whole set, if I am and I need new springs I'll still change the whole set.

Cleaning the carbs.
Put back together, running and clean.
