Just as the title states, I did a sprocket change, went up one tooth for more top speed, and installed an o-ring chain!
...unfortunately it still is not entirely to my liking. I am still craving more power out of this bike. Anyone got any ideas?
I was thinking pod filters, new jets, and maybe...
By the main switch, we're talking about the ignition switch, right?
I'm decent with a meter, i just don't know the best way to use it in this scenario.
Sorry forgot to specify. That melted connector was due to a zip tie that fell loose and it melted from the engine heat.
I'm not sure if the main ignition switch is the issue, because it could also be because I'm taking all the power away by unplugging it.
So i was riding about a month ago, going over a hill when my bike died out on me. Pull over, tear it apart, find the main fuse blown. Replace the fuse, blows instantly as soon as I turn the key.
I then found a melted connector under the gas tank, so i walked the bike about a kilometer home and...
This is from the main wiring harness, coming from the main fuse to ignition and whatnot. Can try to get a better photo later, i just need a male and female end with at least 6 slots i believe
1-N-2-3-4-5 on the case, as well as shifting through them reveals only 5 gears.
fuel filter is on my list but the tank is mint so I haven't fully gotten to it yet
Okay, so those manuals should be good. Although I noticed it says a 6 speed trans which I don't think i have.
So to clear up confusion: i have a 1982 yamaha maxim xs400j?
