What motorcycle(s) do you ride

[TFOGGER]

Anyone titled a motorcycle without papers? FIL got it but never did title before he died. Mobile home flooded after his death and we lost most of the docs. Damn, my life dounds like a country song.

A title search will cost $2.20 at the DMV in Lakewood. If you can contact the previous owner, you may be able to get a duplicate title and have them sign it over. otherwise, you'll most likely have to do the bonded title route, which is tedious and time consuming, as well as moderately expensive.

Yeah search lost title/bonded title Colorado. I've done it once, but it's been a long long time ago in a Galaxy far away. IIRC you need insurance, an affiant (notarize something), a bill of sale or possibly a death certificate or some other evidence, a bonding company you can work with, then you buy a bond from them, then take it to the DMV, and pay your registration and get a title. Like a monthlong process that costs about 10% of the value, lol.

Also a 400 two-stroke is likely going to try to wheely when you really don't want it to... make sure you have VERY good instinct to let go of the throttle with any major issue, otherwise you'll be one of "those" people in a gif online. Basically cranking the throttle suddenly (like when you're falling off and hanging on for dear life) will guarantee to raise the front wheel and send you careening around on a unicycle if you're inexperienced. Even older 220/250s can do this. A 400 is Super-Mario 3.

Been making some minor changes on the Roadster; pulley cover, foot/shifter pegs and still trying to find the type of bars I want. Enjoying the hell out of this scoot, bringing me back to the bikes of my youth.

I got that TTR to turn over today with a borrowed battery, but it's still not starting so I'll probably take the carb out and clean it when I have the time. Initially, when I turned the gas on, it would drain straight out of what looks like an overflow tube. I hear that is a sign that the floats might be stuck. I rapped a bit on the carb with a screwdriver handle and it stopped leaking. Replaced the plug even though it looked fine. Oil level is normal and looks brand new. I guess I'll have to actually go through it instead of hoping it'd start right up.

The needle and seat are sticking. I'm sure the pilot jet is plugged as well. The carb needs a complete cleaning. When you pull off the float bowl it will smell sweet- that's the sign of bad gas. The aromatics evaporate and leave varnish that plug all the tiny holes that make a carb work. You need to take out the mixture screw(s) as well and blow through the passages. An hour with WD-40 and a compressor will have it good as new. Don't forget to lightly grease the o-rings and don't use sealer on the float bowl gasket.

I cleaned the carb on the bike, pilot jet was definitely clogged. I've been riding it for about a week now.
