Welcome Greg - Former HD owners are always embraced here at Kzr...as long as you have sworn off the twins-for good.

Our resident carb expert is wiredgeorge. He checks in here pretty much every day and has set up quite a successful business dealing exclusively in carbs for old Japanese bikes.

His website is wgcarbs.com

If you would like to also see another reputable contributor to our little community then get to know Jeff @ Z1 Enterprises.

As a matter of fact, Jeff has a page that deals with recommended setting for the carbs for your old 900.

Good luck with the new-old bike and keep the shiny side up.

P.S. When you ride with your old Harley friends, bring a little old oily rag to smudge across your 900's engine, just to make it look like your new ride is leaking some oil...like theirs:)
