Hopefully you can check the Tach cable, but to me it almost sounds like you've
got a vacuum leak whistling. It sounds like one of the carb-to-head boots is
missing the plug screw and is whistling.

Sounds like alternator to me.
Can we get a readout of the voltages on the bike while turned off, and while
running at about 2000 RPMs?
Perhaps the wires from the alternator aren't hooked up correctly.

On the downside, to use this you have to remove the boots on the intake of the

Hey Dustin,
Like others have suggested, spraying starting fluid directly into the open
carbs (spray all four carbs, one at a time while opening the throttle and
pushing the plunger up) should allow the bike to start and run for about 1-2
seconds. This will work whether you're getting gas or not
(not from the
valve covers).
But... Check to be sure that it isn't the overflow from the battery.

One more possibility -

That kit should give you everything you need. Check the write-up. You
only need to unscrew the outer 2 bolts and the main 12v. then the
entire starter comes apart one piece at a time, no more screws.

Hmm... Can you send pictures of the rack? You will most likely have to
remove the two side covers, the seat, and possibly the rear plastic to get
at all the bolt locations.

I'll chime in on this one.
One of the main things that K&N and [presumably] Amsoil is the *way* they

Well you can put $1500 into the bike for purchase and repairs, or spend a
lot more money and get something with four wheels that gets worse mileage.
None of the things you mentioned are really that severe. The paint, seat,
and tank are really cosmetic damage and you could wait to fix them until you

I'm just sitting at home waiting to hear about a potential home purchase. If

Ya know... If you park them close enough and they fall on each other, then
at least one bike won't fall very far. That's good right?

Here's my trick:
First off; +1 for PB Blaster. (not to spark an 'oil versus oil debate...,
but that's the stuff that was designed for *exactly* this application). Let
it soak in for at least a few minutes, if not overnight.
