I will never complain again about removing and cleaning my xs 11 carbs . I just got finished removing and cleaning the carbs on a Honda v45 Sabre. 10 times worse than cleaning my carbs. LOL. Later 'Dog

Hey Scalded Dog,
My friend just bought a 82 honda sabre VF750S a few weeks ago. I wathced him pull the carbs off of it and it looked like it was much worse thanan XS11. I have helped him clean them, and they are going back on the bike soon. I can't wait to take it for a spin. I have rode a V65 Magna several years ago, and loved it . I have heard for a 750 cruiser the magnas and sabres were pretty fast.
Looks kinda like the VMX1200 Vmax enigne, and that can't be too bad.Bill Woods

Hello Bill, this is an '82 also , cleaning the carbs are a pain in the..uh..neck. But this bike was give to me, already had it cranked and running on starting fluid, so I know it will run, .I havn't put the carbs back on yet , I bent the clamps while I was taking, yanking them off.

My friends would start and run, but ran poorly off idle. We found 1 bad carb diagphragm and the usual carb sludge. He is going to try them in a few days, after he gets them on the bike.Bill Woods
