Re: 1100 Yamaha Backfires and won't start.
Sorry about the delay, but the weather's finally permitted me to work on it. So, it turns out I mixed the wires for plugs 3 and 4. Now it runs again. I also found out at some point I flipped the fuel filter around, so now it's facing the right direction. I took the carbs off, took out the floats, th...

Nope, I haven't touched anything, and it ran perfectly fine when it ran last...a year ago.

Today, as we're working on his brakes, I kept mentioning the clutch and so he told me to take the cover off the engine to get to it. While I'm doing this, he pressed dow...

'77 Gl1000 Goldwing exhausts
About a month ago, I bought a 77 GL1000 and I love it. It is, essentially, my first bike, since my KZ400 lasted about 15 miles total, but that's not the point of this thread. No, the point of this is that I'm going to replace the exhaust on it. I've noticed it has a lot of white smoke when I first s...
