The Duplicolor Wheel Coating is great general purpose, durable stay and bracket paint that I use a lot. Shoots easy and dries pretty fast for general handling. Available in Gloss and Matte, I would go Gloss for a factory look. The Duplicolor Caliper paint is great too. Has a very unique, factory like finish for items like that too, but is harder to shoot. It is thinner and runs easily, but dries to a hard, durable finish. I used it on the 1992 VFR lower cowl brackets I made.

Yes, what they said, perhaps better. I meant move the nut so it has no effect on the SV's when hot...... and see if your idle creep is still there..... although somewhat explainable as Mohawk says. Once the engine is at full operating temperature, I have not noticed any idle creep with my manual lever backed off...

Cool. My first real Enduro / Trail bike was an '86 TT350. Loved that bike and the dual overhead cam engine revved out real good.

Well it's strange sometimes, you make a good plan to reduce number of motorcycle s you have in your garage, then a few days later a Japanese bumblebee arrive to your garage 🙈 😂 1990 Yamaha XT350 As many bikes I have buoght, the price is low and the bike needs some work. This bike has a interesting story, former owner buoght it to enter a multi day enduro competition in the classics class as friends from his youth tempted him to come along. He buoght a low mileage bike that was in running order, did take off all extra (mirror's, turn signals..) mounted studded tires and started practice for the race. Eventually entered the race, a winter race, but had a flat in first special test and had a DNF because had not a spare tube or tools to do it along, had planned to ride race on the one tire as there more for fun than competition. I have mixed thoughts of this man, he seems very organized as he did tape all bolts to the part he did take off so easy to know where they belong, still to get the grips changed he cut the other bar weight bolt as it didn't come loose, and worse, he did ride whit the rear studded tire even it was to big diameter and the ends of studded hitting the swingarm!!!! good a good one came along. Mechanical it needs just a few things (aside swing arm change), the decompression oil seal is leaking in cylinder head, carbs need cleaning, don't run Idle but does run whit chocke and sounds good. Has some cosmic bads, fuel tank especially as paint has gone off, probably rubbing against something on way to practice. He seems to like duck tape also, lots of tape here as there even for no reason... lots of cleaning as torn off. And needs propper size tires that I did pick up on way home, now a NHS front mx tire, rear a 140/80-18 FIM enduro tire, OEM size 110/80-18! But the more I look close on bike the more I'm convinced the milage on odometer is all the bike has covered. I happen to have the brochure of this bike to!

Why did I ever doubt the Captain... I gave my sacrificial volt meter a full pardon...reassembled, tested and shelved. Yea, that mod is cool as is, my heart's just not into pursuing the face alterations any further...later maybe. I am going to paint the bracket and I thing the cowl stay comes off for a paint job as well. This aught to be fun... haha

I'm glad to announce it was a blown bulb and no adjustments to h4 bulbs required 😁 Thank you to everyone that commented. You're awesome
