Bog usually means lean sputter or blubber is usually rich. Try 2.5 turns on the air screw if your bog is more like a blubber you might end up with a size smaller on the pilot same on the main I would try a 168. I'm pretty sure I'm on 168 main and 55 pilot right now too. Almost identical conditions ...

Got me a stock 39mm PJ carb on my 94 stock 500, stock expansion chamber with PC 304 silencer. 1,200' average elevation with midwest humdity and 80-90 degree average temp. Got a new set of OEM reeds on the way, want them on and to play with jetting before I commit to a new PWK carb. So I need to gues...

Discount Gonna be needing alot of bearing and seals when I go thru my motor this winter!!!

Came across a kid local here in Omaha on eBay who had a broke open brake system. Convienced him to pull the parts and meet local for a steal, turned out the bolts and washers were missing but everything else was in great shape; even new pads :D The kid had a bad ass 01 XR650R supermoto, looked like ...

Good job man

If it comes in a Honda wrapper it comes from Hondaparts-direct. Over $300.00 in parts on my build, all orders were correct and in my hands in just over a week!

I'm glad I sold the frame, etc, to someone willing to see it through.

That is just crazy, hard to believe that is all I started with; a frame and a dream

Lol, oh trust me I know what it will look like. Thats half the fun, race or ride on the weekend then spend the evenings during the week bringing it back to par!

Thanks for the compliments, just glad it is done!!!!

Here it is all dressed up with no wear to go :D I went with new UFO plastics, had a 04/05 top clamp so I threw it on and got a 04 front number plate and front fender! Only big thing missing is the front brake system, checked with the eBay chop shop I was getting it from since it had been over a week...

I learned to ride a street bike on one of those babies, only mine was red!!!

Just might pick up a PWK if the price is right...

Vimeo is a little larger in resolution, thinks that makes the picture just a little better.

Not sure if they fit, but they show as different part numbers. You can get a new boot and metal ring for cheaper then that old stuff!!!

All i need is my 450 airbox, 450 internal ring. 250 airboot, and 250 outter ring? Yep and.... 3oz of permitex, a jig saw to cut the plate and a hole in theplate and a nice assortment of hardware store bolts and lock nuts to adapt the stuff. Some can standard bolts, but some need to perfectly flat c...

Alum plate attached with two bolts high out of the way to airbox, then bolt box to subframe. Attach boot to carb and then put subframe/airbox on. Top back of boot will hit the plate, but you will have a 1/4" or so gap on the bottom at the plate. Apply heat to upper outside corner of boot where ...

Balaclava wrote:but i've read that the 99 boot is quite a bit longer, which is what i need

That is what I used 7 1/4" total length vs the 6 3/4" length of the 01.

Still stuck on the air box?? I tell you man, the way I did mine was simple and cheap. You will be pissed at yourself once you do it because of how easy it was on how much you procrastinated with it.

I think that is just for the twin air set up, looking at the fiche the boxes look the same, only the filters themselves look different.

New chain and sprokets are on, as are the Works Connection radiator braces. Took it to my buddies and went for a couple spins around the field, runs and rides great and nothing fell off or came loose :lol: Still waiting on the complete front brake system and the plastics are ordered and will be here...

I know when buying Twin Filters, for the 02 you need an adapter kit to swap out the stock filter; where as the 03-04 only require the filter and filter cage. Only place I applied heat was to the outside edge where it hit on the frame, cleared the shock great on its own.

ok...so i got my bike together, she's looking alright, few issues though... 1. Brake pedal hits my clutch cover. (should i just f'in bend the thing til it fits or was there something i'm missing?) 2. Airboot. (Ordered a 02 250 boot, anybody have any suggestions as to if this will work? i mocked it ...

Just a little extra insurance in case it pushes a little coolant out. I am sure I will ride with it out, but it is one of those little things I see as needing to be done before I consider it truely complete.

Took a nice break and came back third time was the charm, fired right up stayed running thru the grease, paint , hand print burn off :roll: Cleaned out nice and crisp and now starts on one solid kick, even idles :shock: forgot what a bitch they were to kick!!! My back expansion chamber frame mount b...

Got the radiator and subframe back from the welder, dropped them off last night and he called me this morning. Put everything together, filled it up with water (just to flush) and fuel...... Gave it a kick and...... NOTHING :? About 10 more and it came to life and ran for about a minute, died while ...

They look awesome man. Looks like you're not lacking much to finish it now. Cool! :cool: Everything accept for the plastic kit and number plate is here or on order. Should be 100% mechanicly by this weekend provided the machine work gets done in a timely manner. Gonna work on the graphixs design to...
