Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Yamaha XJ650 front brakes

Were you able to hone clean the master cylinder bore? Not sure you can hone, however, bore can get pitted & let pressure bypass through the bore. Work the brake lever with the top off the reservoir. If you see bubbles or fluid come back up in, you will have to replace master cylinder? Piston

Jeff, Start in the middle and work your way out using an "X" pattern. Go up 5 -10 lbs or whatever the book says until you get to max torque. That will mean doing it several times. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 14, 2016, at 11:28 PM, Jeff Klaiber wrote: > > Hi

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Fuel Shut off Valve

My understanding has been that pressure from that fuel can/will put a ring groove of the needle as it sets against the seat of the jet. I almost always turn my fuel off. I forgot to this summer & that is part of the problems I am having now. Will idle but not accelerate. Carb #4 is screwed up.
