Total Motorcycle Community Forums

Hello everyone,
My name is Trevor and I am from Denver, Colorado. I just purchased my second motorcycle. The first one didn't really count because I was young and dumb. I never made a payment so it got repossessed. It was a brand new (at the time) 1997 Yamaha Virago 535. I loved it for the short time that it was mine. I am a tall skinny guy and the 535 fit me well. Soon I realized that a little more power would suit me better. A couple weeks ago I picked up a 1981 Yamaha XJ750 for $500 from a friend. I was a little intimidated by the size at first, but now I love it. Guess what, I've got carburetor problems. Hopefully you people are really nice like the introduction said you were. I need a lot of advice but I don't have much to offer at this point, unless someone has questions about electronic music, or recording audio, or plug-ins / computer stuff. If anyone needs advice on wiring their project studio or midi connections, I can help. If I can't, I know people. I can give advice about house painting or home improvement type stuff. I need to tune my freaking carbs BAD!!!! Sorry for the long winded bio, but hopefully I can meet someone who needs my advice for theirs in return. If your advice is "shut up", then please skip it, I will keep it shot & sweet after this.
Thanks,
Trevor....A.K.A. nozzlegoblin. www.myspace.com/nozzlegoblin

howdy. i know more about automobile carbs than motorcycle carbs, and together i think they total almost a thimbleful. sorry.

Welcome to TMW, enjoy the forum and post what is wrong with your bike in the troubleshooting forum and i am sure you will get responses, we are a very friendly community and try to help each other out..... hopefully you paid in full for this bike

We don't often tell people to shut up here so post your question in the troubleshooting section and you will probably get a handful of answers. No payment necessary. Unless you just really want to, then you can send all the $ you want to my paypal.

Fireguzzi was referring to the last sentence in OPs post.

oops!

Hell yes my junker seca was paid in full. Like I said, it was only $500. I think that's a pretty good deal and my credit sucks right now. One day I'll have that Triumph that I want, 'till then I'm gonna love my dinosaur Yamaha. I know that when I finally hop on a real bike, It's gonna feel like a magic freakin' carpet ride! I just need my carbs balanced, otherwise my Seca runs fine.
Happy with what I've got!

Nozgob double up brotherl.
