I just put a new Chinese fairing on my 1993 Honda F2 motorcycle. The job was labor intensive and took a lot of hours to complete. The paint job on the different plastic pieces was excellent. Most of the holes needed to be filed out and enlarged. Some were off in location by as much as 3/16 of an inch. I started to use a small soldering iron to enlarge the holes by melting the plastic, this was much quicker than filing out the holes. This fairing was injection molded, it's supposed to be better than compression molding but it was still a big hassle to install. The stock Honda fairing would fit like a glove on the bike. It's to expensive to buy a new bike nowadays so I just tried to fix this one up to make it look better.

He mentions using dishwashing liquid on the manifolds to get them to slide on. My Dyno jet kit recommended using WD40 instead. Dishwashing liquid will leave residue on the manifolds. They are selling the carburetor slide with the rubber diaphragm assembly for the F2 on ebay at a reasonable price at the moment, I bought two. When putting the carbs back together I used cut up pieces of electricians tape to secure the black rubber diaphragm to the top of the carbs and used a small amount of Seal All automotive sealant as cement before removing the tape. The center hole in the plastic slide that secures the needle needed to be reamed out a little bit with a round jewelers file bought at Harbor Freight, the center hole was just a fraction of a millimeter off which prevented the slide from moving up and down. If that little loop on the diaphragm is a bit out of alignment I think you can heat the assembly up with a heater and yank the rubber in the direction you want the loop to move. They were selling black rubber diaphragms with no plastic slide for a very long time on Ebay. To attach those I think you need a credit card and some dental floss wrapped around the very top of the slide to try and wedge the rubber diaphragm into the very narrow gap on the plastic slide. I tried to glue mine on which was probably a bad idea.

hey, i am hoping you see this soon. i just finished watching your video on the cbr600 F2 carbs and i was wondering if you could show us how to change the valve shims for it. i also have a problem with my F2 spitting flames. it sounds and acts like a tuned fuel injected bike by spitting large blue flames. it has some very noticeable valve tap at idle cold and operating temperature. I dont know if it’s the valves or carbs but i think ima redo both. i was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to fix this issue. i mean i truly love the large flames and the aggressive sound but it worries me a little much.

This mechanical job turned into a nightmare scenario. Do you have any updates on the status of your work on the motorcycle? I have a 1990 Honda NS50 50cc water cooled street motorcycle. The bike has a couple thousand miles and is in mint condition. Being a Honda motorcycle a collector would probably pay a lot of money for a bike in this condition. These bikes were popular in Japan but not here in the USA. I don't know if you can even obtain parts for the bike. It was sitting in a dusty garage unused for 5 years. I put a new battery in the bike and it started right up! I bought new tires as the original tires have cracked sidewalls from age. Yamaha had a small 50cc street bike in 1990 but the NS50 had more horsepower and could outrun it.

@@davidburroughs6416 5 years is a very long time for a bike to sit and not run at all. I had no idea if it would start or if I'd have to do a complete carburetor cleaning. This bike has always run like a fine Swiss watch. I only use the expensive Chevron supreme gas in this bike and also my Honda F2. I have a 2001 Hyundai car with 234,000 miles and Chevron supreme is the only gas I use in that vehicle also. I really don't trust the cheap gas sold in town. That real cheap gas can cause your emissions light to come on.

I bought my Honda F2 sportbike back in 1994. It has the original brake fluid in the lines, it's never been changed. I'd say the bike is due for a brake fluid change. I watched about 3 KZfaq videos on how to do it and went to Ebay to buy some clear bleeder tubing. They have these 8 dollar bleeder kits on Ebay that have the tubing along with a one way metal bleeder valve. The thin diameter of the input tubing would not fit over the bikes bleeder screw so I had to cut a small piece of the fatter tubing that connects to the other end of the bleeder valve and slip it over the end of the thin tubing in order to connect it to the bleeder screw. None of the KZfaq videos I watched were using a one way bleeder valve kit. It really seems like the best way to change the brake fluid is to use these one way bleeder valves. The whole process of changing the brake fluid is much simpler. I just installed a 6 Sigma jet kit for the carburetors on my F2. The jet kit works well on the bike but the extra 2 or 3 horsepower it provides is not really noticible or needed for everyday use. If the carbs are off the bike I have heard it's a good idea to slightly raise the main needle that connects to the vacuum slide by adding an additional washer.

I finally got my F2 up and running. The bike only has about 21,000 miles. I think about buying a new motorcycle but they are all very expensive to purchase, except for those cheap Chinese motorcycles you see advertised on the internet. If you buy a carburetor rebuild kit it's best to stay away from those Chinese made deluxe kits that sell for $10 dollars. Regardless of the description shown these $10 carburetor kits are notorious for having wrong parts added to them. I saw a complete K&L carburetor rebuild kit for $80 dollars on ebay the other day. I would think by spending a little bit more money there would be less likelihood of the parts in your kit being messed up. The use of dish washing liquid for the installation of those rubber manifolds was a good idea. I had good luck getting those rubber manifolds to stay on by tightening the clamps for the no.1 and no. 4 cylinders first before tightening the clamps on the no.2 and no.3 cylinders. I was not sure how to install that lower throttle cable in regards to the position of that one nut. This video did a good job explaining the proper way to install the cable. The throttle would probably still work if the lower cable was installed wrong but it's better to have it hooked up the right way with the nut in the correct position.

One thing I can say about these current Chinese motorcycles is that they seem very under powered for their displacement. The CB 100 and the CB 125 that I owned had good power delivery and good top speed for such a tiny bike. The Japanese really did a fine job getting a lot of power out of a tiny engine, something I can't say about these low cost Chinese bikes produced now. My 1991 Honda NS50 street bike has a tiny 50cc engine and I used to get it up to 54 mph on a slight downgrade.
