loved that you did not have to talk about scratching your butt or go on about your friend who you were helping out. you just got to the heart of the matter and what we all wanted to know. Thanks a bunch!
thanks a lot mister ! you`ve saved me a lot tries and errors , great video ,quick, simple and precise instructions. you must be a great soul, your an exeption for shure , you said the word ` i ` `me` or `my ` , only 2 times in a 4 min. video (my trick for you) : count the ` i-me-my that some says by minutes (it will keep suckers out of your life ) oh oh it`s in :)
I'm speaking on behalf of 64 subscribers, and my being number 65, along with the 11k viewers this was an excellent, one of a kind, tutorial BUT we all feel you have cheated us Mr. Ziegler, this video and lesson was short and sweet but we all seemed to miss the removal part. ;)
THANKS !! had the carbs off, but didn't know how to get them on the easy way. looked very difficult, but now I've seen your "how to", it will go on easy
vaseline is definately a great tip, i used wd40 but i think the vaseline would've been better...but you also removed the air vent on the top...now i wonder if it can be removed and mod k&n air filters put in place on the air intakes on the carbs, what do you think?
The "surge" box, filter box is only couple screws to remove, if you can't figure out that much you have absolutely no business attempting removal of offset carbs
@@willieziegler851 There are no screws holding my "surge box" (2003 VN750). It is apparently held in place by the air filter screws on either side, and I can see no way of taking it out without removing the wiring harness.
@@viscompulsiva362 Same on 2004. Very difficult. Kawasaki didn't leave any room to get these things out or in. The manual says to remove the wiring harness corrugated covering and lift up on the box, but I am still having trouble getting my carb out.
As an update, I struggled for two days getting these carbs out and two days getting them back in after the rebuild. But even with Vaseline on the intake boots, they were extremely difficult to get back in. In the end, this is one job not for the faint of heart!
@@willieziegler851 I think what Eric Beer is asking about could be called the plenum, too... it's the large plastic box that sits in between the frame rails and pretty much directly on top of the valve covers, not the ones on either side of the bike... with that in the way the carbs do not just come right in and out like that. If you have a way to remove that air box without removing the engine I'm all ears
Rubber grommets? Are you saying intake manifolds? Only use silicon lube on rubber. Check the o rings so no leaks from metal to rubber. I cleaned my carbs does not mean I sprayed the outside of them. Inside these carbs are very precise orifices. One only one grain of sand will make the unit in usable.
Not to shabby.... But you also don't have the original air box in use which gives you room above the carb. But I learned to put the rubber grommets on after. A bitch to do but lesser or two evils....
Would have been a really informative video if he wasn’t drowned out be the music on the radio, and if he had someone shooting the video for him... The camera was too far away, no close ups, and his work light blinds the camera with glare because it’s reflecting off the engine & frame instead of shining between the cylinders. With all that said... He has the best Vulcan carb install video I’ve seen yet👍👍
@@willieziegler9346 You said Honda R1000 forks. So most would assume Honda CBR1000r forks being as you said Honda. So since you misspoke, the guy asked you what year Honda forks, instead of saying you misspoke, you just said it was a Yamaha front end & ignored to answer to his question.
5 years later and this is still helping people, thanks for the video!

Thanks Willie, and I liked the music. I'm thinking connecting the cables first but disconnected up top ? I'll try it.
Thank you,
To the comments below, this Video was evidently for the experienced, looking for another's Tip!
Good Job!

Sir, this is onely half the job. Also the surge box to the filters seems to be missing and that makes it whay easyer.

Sorry bout loud music, vaseline is the trick. Make sure lil tabs on boots match heads and itll go right in
years later and still helping out thanks man
Glad to hear it. I love bikes

What year is the front off the cbr im instead in doing the conversion
It's not a CBR that is a Yamaha r1 front end on

Help me with the float dude
If the floats are sticking then check the needle and make sure nothing is stopping it. All it takes is a grain of sand to stick it .
Espetacular
Badass
What about for a 97 vulcan 750?
As long as carbs are offset
Yes, put rubber boots on after carbs set in
