1998 Honda CBR 1100 XX Super blackbird remove coolant reservoir
To remove the coolant reservoir on a 1998 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, you'll typically follow these steps:
1. **Locate the Coolant Reservoir:** The coolant reservoir is usually located near the front of the motorcycle, typically on the left side. It's a translucent or semi-transparent plastic tank with hoses connected to it.
2. **Drain the Coolant:** Before removing the reservoir, it's essential to drain the coolant from the system to prevent spills. You can do this by locating the drain bolt or plug on the bottom of the radiator and carefully loosening it to allow the coolant to drain into a suitable container.
3. **Disconnect Hoses:** Once the coolant is drained, locate the hoses connected to the coolant reservoir. There may be one or more hoses connected to the reservoir. Carefully loosen the hose clamps using pliers and slide them back along the hoses. Then, gently pull the hoses off the reservoir fittings. Be prepared for some residual coolant to leak out.
4. **Remove Mounting Bolts or Screws:** With the hoses disconnected, locate the mounting bolts or screws that secure the coolant reservoir to the motorcycle frame or other mounting points. Use an appropriate wrench or screwdriver to loosen and remove these bolts or screws.
5. **Remove the Reservoir:** Once the mounting hardware is removed, carefully lift the coolant reservoir away from the motorcycle. Be mindful of any remaining coolant in the reservoir and try to avoid spilling it.
6. **Inspect and Clean:** With the reservoir removed, you can inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. You can also clean the reservoir and hoses with water or a mild detergent solution if necessary.
7. **Reinstallation:** To reinstall the coolant reservoir, simply reverse the removal steps. Ensure that the hoses are securely reconnected, the mounting bolts or screws are tightened properly, and the coolant drain bolt or plug is tightened to prevent leaks.
8. **Refill Coolant:** After reinstalling the reservoir, refill the cooling system with the appropriate type and amount of coolant according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Always refer to the motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications when working on the cooling system. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with any step of the process, it's best to seek assistance from a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600
Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.

2003 Honda VT 750 C2 Shadow carburetor adjustment
Let's focus on adjusting the air/fuel mixture. This adjustment can help balance the fuel-to-air ratio for both cylinders. Here are the steps you can follow:
Idle Screw (Air/Fuel Mix):
The idle screw, also known as the pilot screw, adjusts the air/fuel mixture at idle. It affects the fuel flow from the pilot jets (idle jets) into the carburetors.
Locate the idle screw on your carburetor. It's usually a small black knob near the choke.
Turn the idle screw to achieve the desired idle speed. Listen to how the bike sounds while adjusting it.
Note: Adjusting the idle screw shouldn't significantly affect the mixture setting.
Pilot Screw (Idle Mixture):
The pilot screw (idle mixture screw) fine-tunes the air/fuel mixture from idle rpm up to about 1/8th throttle.
To access the pilot screws, you may need to remove the air box and carb side cover.
The factory default setting for the pilot screws is typically 2.5 turns out.
Carefully screw each one in until it lightly seats closed, and then count the number of turns.
You can adjust the pilot screws to make the mixture richer (more turns out) or leaner (less than 2.5 turns).
Dual Carburetor Sync:
Since your bike has dual carburetors, it's essential to ensure they are synchronized.
Use a vacuum gauge set to synchronize the carbs. Adjust the linkage screw until both throttle butterflies are in the same position for idle2.
Synchronization helps maintain consistent performance between the front and rear cylinders.
Check Rear Cylinder Idle:
If the rear cylinder isn't running correctly at idle, it could be due to a partially plugged idle jet.
Consider cleaning the carburetors if needed. While it can be a bit of work, it's essential for proper performance.
If the issue persists, consult a mechanic or consider opening up the carburetor for a thorough inspection.
Remember to take your time and make gradual adjustments. If you're unsure, consult your bike's service manual or seek professional assistance.
