Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Ar'nt you having fun......NOOOOT! Don't worry about the hole Granty. They all have them. It allows you to stick a long screwdriver through to reach the carb mounting rubbers. As for the the choke it has a type of locking adjustment on it to stop it from sliding back in.Your's is prob...

Chugnut welcome to the wonderful world of twin pots :lol: :lol: Granty To find the mixture screws look through from the righthand side of the bike where the coolant expansion bottle is.you should be able to see both carbs. Fist off,yes it is easier with the proper tool secondly the adjustment screws...

Granty Sorry to hear the new bikes not running as it should :cry: . IS it brand new? If it is I would take it to another Honda dealer and get it set back up under warrantee. Anyway just in case The fuel mixture screws are located under each carb to the rear of each float bowl.They have a brass X hea...

Hi Pstormer Start with the easy stuff first.check your plugs and see what condition they are in.If the cathode(pointy bit in the middle) is a nice tan or grey colour they're ok.

Hi Skid, Nah It's just a big V twin. I use mine all winter and I get the same problem. It can be a sign of a weak battery,the optimate a good idea. What I find also helps is to press the starter button and let the engine turn over before pulling out the choke. Sometimes with the choke out first my e...
