How do you clean a fuel tank?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You will need to empty the tank while hooked to the car. (so when you do drop the tank you dont get splashed with gas to much. when the tank is removed you will need to

Flush out the Contents: Empty the tank of all its contents

Clean the Tank: Use new gasoline and clean the tank thoroughly.

Hot Water and Acid Cleaning: Now is the real cleaning step. You will need hot water as much as the capacity of the fuel tank. Fill the tank to half its capacity with hot water. Remember the muriatic acid we just spoke about? Its time to add it to the hot water. You will have to add approximately half a gallon of the acid to the water. Then add in the remaining hot water in the tank. Close the gas tank with a cap, but make sure you do not use the tank cap. Do not disturb the tank for about 2 to 21/2 hours. Let the entire mixture settle in the tank.

  • Dispose off the Mixture: Empty the gasoline tank of the mixture. The mixture contains muriatic acid, hence, be careful while doing so. It is suggested not to dispose off the mixture down a drain or in the dustbin.
  • Clean with Water: Now clean the tank with water thoroughly. You can use a hand pump to spray water in the tank. The pressure of the hand pump will reach to every nook and corner of the tank, thus cleaning it in the process. There can be several rounds of cleaning with water.
  • Dry the Tank: The next step is to dry the tank well. You can use a hair dryer for the same. It means a lot of work. But if you leave the tank to dry on its own, it will take longer. You can use the hair dryer to dry the tank, as the warm air will reach well inside the tank. This is an important step, as gasoline will be filled in the tank soon afterwards.
  • Gasoline Rinsing: After you have dried the tank, rinse the tank well with gasoline. This is the last step in the gasoline tank cleaning procedure.
  • Fill gasoline in the tank: Attach all the components, which you have removed in the first step. Keep a small quantity of gasoline ready, so that the vehicle reaches the gasoline pump station. Now, do not waste any time and refill the tank back with gasoline. It is important to refill immediately, as the tank can start rusting again.

You need a lighting coil stator from either moose, pro racing, or electrix world. A front headlight with 35w bulb. Very small battery, led turn signals, led brake lights, control switch for lighting and horn. Probably some super moto 17" wheels with dot tires. And depending on where you live will determine how hard it is to get a street title for the bike, but you need the original title. You can read up on this process on many forums. Just search and start reading. Im not going to explain every last bit of my 06 yz450f super moto

"First take off passenger seat by removing 15mm chrome acorn nut where it retains seat to the rear fender. Carefully pull the passenger seat back and up to disengage hold down tab and remove seat. Now, you should be able to see the chrome 10mm bolt that retains the drivers seat. Remove this bolt and again, carefully the pull drivers seat up and back to disengage hold down tab and remove seat. Re-installation is the reverse of this procedure."

----You don't have to remove the seat to remove the speedo

There should be 3 alen head screws around the speedo. 4mm i think. Take those out. Then reach down and push the speedo cable up towards the tank to give the speedo cable some slack. There will be 2 plugs and the speedo cable connected to the back, disconnect those 3 and you're done.

Removing a air filter on a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 is not so easy to do and will take some time. You will have to take off the seat to reach the air filter, then you will unscrew the cover and take out the air filter and replace it with a new one.

How do you change oil and filter on a Yamaha v-star 1300?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I just did the first oil filter and oil change on my V-Star 1300. The oil filter is below the crank case and is difficult to get off if you do not have the expensive Yamaha tool. I had to drive a screwdriver through the filter to crank it off. A cool trick is to buy the cheap 3 dollar filter socket (walmart) and epoxy the entire inside to the attached filter. You wont be able to use the fillter tool again but hey. You go it off didin't you? Once off, I removed the oil plug, stood the bike up, and ran the engine for about 7 seconds to drive the oil out of the crankcase. I could tell when there was no oil going to the engine because the engine slowed down very quickly. Take care here. Do not run the engine without oil.

I put the new oil filter on, didn't check the torque as the manual suggests, and hand tightened it. I have to test ride it with a few rides to see if the filter losens, may have to get that oil filter tool. The manual refers to a torque for tightening the oil filter, but doesn't state what it is. I hope it isn't as tight as when I removed the filter. I put in about 3.6 quarts of 20/50.

I use to work for S&S Cycle and was told that the oil change is critical because lots of machining debris and metal builds up in the oil during engine break in. Believe me it is true. If the metal filings I saw in the bottom of the oil catch basin were gold, I would have hit the jackpot. It is normal but underscores how important it is to change the oil at 500 - 800 miles on a new bike. I will also change the oil and filter after another 500 miles just to be sure.

How to set the timing on a Yamaha banshee?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You start off by setting the piston to TDC (top dead center). there is a "T" on the magneto to assist with that. once the motor is at TDC you take the exhaust valve(front one) , there are 3 numbers with arrows. take the #1 arrow and point it toward the front of the motor at the gasket surface and the #2 arrow will be pointing strait up at a roll pin of the cam chain from that roll pin, counting it as #1 count out 15 pins. on the intake valve there are also 3 numbers and arrows. on the 15th pin set the #3 arrow of the intake valve. Now the timing is set put it back together using all torque specs. the bolts are very easy to strip.

How do you check the oil on a 1990 Yamaha tt250?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Checking the oil on a 1990 Yamaha TT250 is a very simple process that should take you no more than a few moments. Place the motorcycle in an upright position as if you were riding it. Next, look next to the bottom of the right crankcase. There will be an oil level window that will tell you how much oil is in your motorcycle.

How do you change the rear brakes on a Yamaha grizzly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You must remove the rear pipes from the bike. This is very easy and with only 2 allan head bolts that hold them on. On the rear brake you will see two chrome bolts remove these bolts.

Follow the brake line down to an 8mm bolt that is bolted to the frame (it is just a clamp that holds the line from moving) remove the 8mm bolt.

You now should be able to remove the brake caliper from the bracket. You will see a plastic cover on top that says: Remove for Service (or something of that nature). Remove that cover with a flat head screwdriver.

You will now need to compress the brake calipers. I did this by removing the brake fluid cap (in front of the bike again you must remove a bolt to get to this cap). I used a large flat head screwdriver to press in both calipers in.

You will now see two pins with carder pins holding them in. Pull the carder pins and pull out the two silver pins, remove old brakes. You can do this by pulling straight up on them. Replace with new brake pads and put everything back together.

Good luck and keep it in the wind...........

The above procedure is correct and per the manual. However, it's actually possible to change the pads without removing any bolts at all. The hardest part is putting the cotter pins back into the brake pins. A small mirror helps with that job. ---ts

Lower motor to full down, place drain pan under motor.

Loosen and remove lower screw, then remove upper screw.

Allow to drain completely (about 1/2 hour).

You will need a hand operated oil pump with screw adapter fitting for threads in lower screw hole, and at least a quart of lower unit gear oil.

Insert fitting and pump gear oil until it runs from top hole. Replace top screw (with new gasket).

Remove oil adapter and replace lower screw(with new gasket).

Done.

Whats the fuel-oil mix ratio on a 1994 Honda CR125?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I usually work it at about 50:1 ratio. That's 50 parts petrol to one part 2 stroke oil. You might find it useful to purchase a small mixing cup (like a Ratio Rite). It'll let you mix easily no matter how much fuel you have.

if you were smart you would run 40:1 and have your bike last longer.

-Most manufacturers recommend 32:1 ratio as this provides the best lubrication and will prolong the life of your piston and cylinder. If you run too lean (ie-50:1, you will go through pistons and cylinders much quicker) The only problem with running too much oil is you can foul plugs, so it will take a little trial and error as each bike is a little different.

I personally run about 38:1 (according to the ratio rite cup) on my Suzuki RM 125. Keep in mind, if you run less oil, you are also making your bike run richer, so you may have to adjust your carburetor jet settings to compensate for it. Your best bet is to call your local Honda dealer and ask them the correct ratio for the bike, better yet, get the repair manual. (and definitely don't run 50:1 unless you like frying your piston)
