1981 A3 - (Chocolatie) - the 500 dollar special
1 week 1 hour ago- =14pxReplace front brake lever
- =14pxFlush front MC, bleed. Very grody and dry too. But just enough fluid in lines to enable front brake action. Bled.. noticed that MC has no air bubble from either little hole. Put small screwdriver in RHS hole, some small bubbles. Leading to:
- =14pxPulled both calibers. Pistons may be moving, but not by very much. Should probably buy master cylinder kit and new pistons and seals for the calipers.
- =14pxLubed clutch cable. Inspected other end throw out mechanism.
- =14pxLubed clutch lever pivot.
- =14pxWill vinegar hurt the fuel tank level sensor?
- =14pxUnfroze petcock

Funny, because I just picked up a good looking Honda CB350 this weekend from a farmer's pasture for nothing. Engine's stuck. We'll see what happens.

6 days 22 hours agoI have the stock tank, it needs to be vinegar coated to remove some light rust. The TT Yamaha tank is just to start and move the bike off and on the lift..I like the tank. Not. But you can't go wrong for $500.
