Funny you should mention Google autocomplete, I never really bother to look at it but one of my daughters pointed it out recently

"Why is my left" nipple bigger than than the other two?

Well that was really helpful.

Take the time to read the autocompletes sometimes, it can be a bit of a laugh.

"Why is my" my poop green

It's because you're going to die pal, but thank you for adding to Googles funny autocompletes

OK. I need a good proctologist. Of course, you'll get his name wrong, his city wrong, and he's really a urologist, but I'll figure it out.

lol ....... leaving all the personal medical issues aside for a bit ...--> "avago --->> "

1: basic replacement

2: I believe the fuel pump can be taken out and a line used to gravity feed the carb's

3: Download the manual and break out with a wiring tester - adjust the rear brake switch

4: What you really should be doing is looking for a matched set on Ebay or CL by way
of a specific listing or parts bike , ignition lock, gas cap lock & seat lock "SET" !

5 : The levers are worn ..... get new levers ..pinch the bolt holes close to the new
levers the bike may have been dropped and stretched / widened the housing

That's all I have to torque about lol Time to go clean my bike lol

I just bought a 1987 edition Hurricane 1000 and it needs some pretty serious help.

1. The previous owner lost his key, so instead of calling a locksmith, he took a screwdriver and hot-wired the keyhole with it. The only way to starts the thing is to turn the screwdriver like a key... not okay. I've ordered a new assembly for the keyhole which should be here this week. Anyone ever replace this assembly before? Any tips/tricks?

2. It's got an "aftermarket" fuel pump on it which does not give it enough gas on the freeway. It actually died on the freeway drive home I can't seem to find a stock one online. I was unaware that carbed bikes even needed fuel pumps. Any advice on a part source for that one? Where is the fuel pump even located on the bike?

3. Are there any wiring diagrams for this thing? The turn signals don't work and the "aftermarket fan" has a lovely flip switch that has to be manually turned on to start it. Not to mention the front brake lever does not activate the brake lights.

4. Because the keys were lost, the gas tank lid is also destroyed. I need the whole assembly, including the inner ring that I don't think is supposed to come out... Again, looking for a parts source for that if you can help.

5. The clutch lever is pretty loose. A couple washers could fix the up/down wobble, but not the in/out wobble. Is there a little spring it's missing maybe? Maybe it's just best to get two new lever assemblies seeing how the brake light sensor doesn't work on the front one right now.

That being said... The engine is in great condition, I think, and it runs like a dream around town. I love the smoothness of the clutch, the easy cold starting, and the power this bike puts out. It's a great bike for what I paid for it, I'm just hoping I can make it a little more functional. Any and all help is much appreciated.


I found a picture and price for a fuel pump. I hope that helps you locate yours on your bike.
I am pretty sure my bike does not have a fuel pump atm but this looks like what I would use.

I'd be heading Dub's direction .......... reading your search results ...Bill

I have an 88 coming soon and the first thing that's coming out of it is the fuel pump
in favor of a gravity feed ..........one less finicky item to have let go on a long trip.

He could have excessive fuel line tangled in and around frame causing kinks in the line also.
I cut probably a 1' piece out of mine plus replaced with modern lines.

If you pull the fuel line at the carbs and fuel comes out, life is ducky.
The pump needs to be removed before doing this.
