I saw to keep a good working carb. It never seems to fail that its running too rich or leaking gas......carbs stink.

I second that. Carbs are a pain for me.

While, axles suck.....carbs always leak.....The absolute worst is the points on a 70. I mean who's bright idea was it to adjust in a 1by1 inch hole? While you lay on a dirty garage floor, with a flashlight,flattip and phillilps while only useing 2 hands....

The worst part is they dont even line up the hole with the full open position of the points!


Ive got to put my vote in for swingarm bearings. Installing them is easy, but getting old ones out...........

what i think is the most annoying, is actually something pretty simple, its getting that friggen air tube from the airbox to the carb connected on my 85 R, for some reason its always a PITA to get on, i have to screw the carb in that tube first, then clamp it onto the airbox, and then put the carb in the intake boot.

Mine would be "Stuck Pivot bolts!!!" pull them out 1 time every year and lube them up, or at least loosen the nut and tap them in and out so it breaks loose. I also hate changing pivot bearings in the aircooleds, Oh and what about the little ball bearings in the steering neck RRRR!! I spent a day trying to install 21 the manual says that are in there, they only take 18!

Haha..yeah those bearings in the steering neck suck to get back in.

I am not sure what is the most annoying...carb. adjustment, pullstarts, steering neck bearings, top ends, I don't find any of them to be annoying really. But, taking the axle out of a 3 wheeler and with 1 front tire, keeping the bike from tipping over becomes an issue!

I'd definatly have to agree with the guys and the carb and intake boot. I can't even get in back on without taking the airbox bolts out and letting it drop down. MAJOR pain in the rear.

I would have to agree with TimSR on the swing arm bearings. Especiall on a shaft drive bike. No fun. 2 man job. did it 2 weekends ago and it sucked. Axle and bearings were a breeze.

The damn airbox and carb on a 200es, that really is a pain in the ass to get back in and out. Also i hate rusted in bolts! Oh and front axels!
