Pour a little gas into the tire, throw in a match, and it seats on the rim like it was hit by a sorcerer's spell. > > > Ah, yes: "Hold my beer and watch this..." > > Or maybe I was just thinking of popping out that dent in the tank from trying to ride on a flat tire. >

Seen it done once with a bit too much starting fluid. The tire exploded and shrapnel went everywhere. As luck would have it, no one, including the strippers, got hurt. Unless you count the ringing in the ears. da Vermonster

is there a process to see if a bike has the proper jet/s in the carburetor/s. i would like to check my 99 klr that has an after market air filter and supertrap pipe on it. i have also just acquired mint 1985 cb750s 4 nighthawk that i have out a V&H pipe and stoke air filter on it. i would like to check it as well. i'm making the assumption that the process would be the same,,, or not?
