Question back side of the kick stand bolt, is there a nut that goes there? I was doing an inspection and noticed that noting is there.[/QUOTE]

Nope no nut on it

What kind of goop did you use on the tank? You were sidetracked by lack of ammo:gun_bandana:

Each time I take the bike apart make me feel like the old timer biker movies. You know there's always something that has to be worked on. And if your not riding it. Your fixing it.

First time was an epoxy putty that I used to repair a plastic gas can. And I had it for other things but as you know it didn't work. Not sure if it if it was the location of the crack or the test ride that made it leak. So this time I bought "quick steel" states works with gas and under water. I mixed that up and put it on the inside of the tank. The tuffest part was to get it to stick on to the metal using a screw driver and then a metal rod to get the farthest weld. Fully cured 1hour later. Put it all back together. When bending one of the brackets I think I zaped myself with coil. The covered wire going to the back of the coil was lose so I tightened it up.

Just about an hour ago I put gas in can fired her up. I was looking at fuel filter and the gas never filled up. ???? I moved the petcock all different ways and it finally filled 1/6 of the glass filter.

I still can't get it to start on its own with out one of 2 things happening.
1 killing the battery, or 2 giving it a twist of the throttle.

Waiting on brother the bring me his old k&n filter from an old kz1000 he sold many years ago.



Tomorrow wil determine if I've fixed the leak or not.

"I see you are going red Bob. Just FYI, not sure if you got rid of your air injection hose but they make a red hose that is high pressure and wire reinforced. Just food for thought."

GonzoX, Now that the bike is running as good as it is I may leave the air pump on. If I do the red hose might be just the thing. Thanks

Crelow here is a picture of the choke control and a picture of the breather mod I did. It seems to ride good just the way it is with the hose applying downward force and the spring clamp holding it centered.

I thought I see. An extra cable.

Well there's the clutch, head lamp, choke, and turn signal. The choke cable is the buried one, gold color on one end, silver on the other.

I can't wait to get my K&N

:deal:

Hello everyone, What is your K&N ?? Since Ive yet to post pics of my duct-taped df, its still considered a vaporbike. I have done a few mods and i'll eventually post some pics. My new 2010 model bike started out blue but is turning black very soon. I'll check back when its a little warmer out.
