So because of an awesome neighbor, I have a 87 600 hurricane! Pretty pumped about it. And here is the other side of this story.... Bike has not run in about 6 years, has rust in the tank, needs a few new fuel lines, new fuel Petcock, air box cover and filter. Carbs are so gummed up the throttle won't move them. And throttle cables moved freely when I pulled carbs off. Oh! The kicker, he lost the keys when he moved. ( no bike is not stolen, have the title in my hand). So..... Any advice or ideas where to get parts, and what to do to get this bike running would be most appreciated!! Particularly with the carbs. Not sure what they need or need to have done to them. And the tank rust and key issue. Cheers!!!

 

There is a key code stamped into the fuel door key cylinder and ignition cylinder that a locksmith familiar with moto's can cut a key from. To read the one on the ignition you'll probably have to remove it (two small bolts under the upper triple clamp). Another option is to buy an aftermarket ignition unit for the bike, but that still doesn't account for the key to open the fuel door & helmet lock.

The carbs can be hard to find new parts for, but they'll probably be okay after being disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. New float bowl gaskets might still be available from Honda, but I don't know for sure. Download the FSM from the sticky on the main 600F page and you'll have instructions on how to service them.

Given how long the bike has been sitting I would also do a thorough inspection of the suspension/brakes, wheels & tires, chain, etc. and put a new oil & filter on it at the least once it comes time to try to get it running. Congratulations on the new bike!

 

Thanks Tahoe rider!

 

Anybody have a filter PN? I have the honda number, but am wondering if there is a fram or purolator equivalent that I can pick up at my local store.

I should have the bike running in a few days! Can't wait!

 

Oil filter? Stay away from Fram. I use a Purolator, 14610. Got it at walmart.
