    Hi all,
    am wondering if there are any videos available demonstrating how to maintain
    a bike, basic overhaul or carb clean procedures etc. For a UJM, i think its
    reasonably easy to make a generic video?

    Haven't found any videos, but Honda offers a 'Common Service Manual' that is
    quite good.

    Rhatte,
    thanks a ton for that Whitehorse Press link. The Sweet Spot video series
    seems exactly what i am looking for. However, i notice that it seems to be
    for the sports bike crowd. whereas i have a cruiser. Having seen the video,
    would u say that it is useful enough for cruiser bikes as well?
    thanks very much,
    sri

    Having seen the video,
    glad it helped

    i've only seen the carb video and the dude went through a few different
    types of carbs and demonstrated on a yamaha cruiser of some sort. do a web
    search on sweet spot and see if you can find a contact number or address and
    drop them a line. or i can pop the vid in the vcr (if i can find it) and see
    if there is contact info on it.

    here we go - got the vid in my hand that i bought.

    Repair it Right Videos. rirvidoes.com

    seems maybe they went out of business. the links don't work. huh - i guess
    they didn't do so well. i'm not familar with the sweetspot vids but looking
    and the sweet spot site it does seem like a sportsbike thing.

    i suppose you could go from the POV that Japanese sportys and Japanese
    cruisers all work on basically the same principles....

    Thanks for diggin out the video for me. Looks like RepairitRight went bust.
    No trace of them on ebay either.
    Am going to order one of the sweet spot vids to see if its any good. Am
    wondering though if i can convince you to lend me your video? I'd be happy
    to paypal the full cost price of the video beforehand and then you can
    return a part of the $$ when you recieve it back from me? I need some
    cruiser carb wisdom real quick.
