Heyyyyy. Its the little things that leads into big victories. Definitely something that could happen to anyone. Thanks for reporting back and updating the community

I literally ride them all regular. however, either the cb1100 or the dr650 or the ct125 gets a lot of regular commuter/errand use.

Seems like we have a similar fleet.

A year between post, it always seem to resurrect itself. Let sleeping dogs lie.

A complete wast of my time. Only got maybe 1/2 way through and had to
 turn it off. Pictures of some very nice bikes.
 Otherwise worthless. I hate Ai generated videos.

I thought it was pretty hilarious. I couldn't get far into it, the comments are quite entertaining as well

I have too many to manage but my current fleet of riders are z900rs, grom, dr350se, rd350

Found this video. Tons of misinformation and images that don't add up. Thanks Ai. 7 Valves for the intake/exhaust. What is this the genesis 7 valve head??

Sorry for the delay. Having a newborn really put a damper on your ability to do things. I was able to fit a 3/32 drill bit into the hole and measured about 9.5mm down into the hole. It does not go into the port from what I can see, I tried to get other bits into it but couldn't see anything. I assume theres a smaller hole for the choke circuit to kick in.

Good luck!

Ahhh thats a culprit of the choke circut not being engaged due to how its not getting any fuel! You could drill it, just be very careful. Do you need a drill.size and the depth? I can go get that info for you with my spare carb

Beautiful story. I rode a daytona special this past weekend. Fun bike for sure, thanks for sharing.

Check for some air leaks. Sounds like its running really lean at a cold start. Strange that it will run after you do your method. Is the choke crossover tube installed when you put the carb in? Stock airbox? Double check if the carbs are synced?

Yeah, premix.  The exact premix I'm going to figure out literally last thing.  It's been about twelve years since I had an RD, and relearning all this is harder than I thought.

R5 carbs are your best bet. They don't come with the oil port on the carb. People will say 32:1 but you can get away with 40:1 with today's oil though. You got this!!!

You need some stock carbs? I went to a motorcycle swap meet and there was a guy there with a tote full of stock vm28 carbs for rd350. I got a set of stock r5 carbs for 20 bucks from him. They are out there!

I should have a set or two if you need one.

Which part????

Part 31?

sweet! and we have all made the slide mistake at some point.

Such a common occurrence with these things. It helped me diagnose my friends issue with his kz750 years ago. Quick and simple solution, but ran so much better.

Thats why I call it fleabay.

Don't get me wrong, I've accidentally purchased something impulsively without doing all my homework and asked to cancel before but not at that frequency.
