Still keeping the machine rolling. Thought i would ask if the sages hear any subtle clues and looking for a pointer on the idle hang. Is it normal or is it hesitation. Going to make another manometer very soon if not tonight and double check the balance.

Im pretty certain they are headers that were cut right at the start of the muffler. Or if they made headers that didn't get welded to mufflers at the factory, i got a pair on ebay. Then i put the original slip ons back. This was an attempt to get it back to how i got it. Which i remember running...

lol try and post a video of the idle and all i do is yap over the duration of the video

I actually feel pretty stupid asking for help, then getting all defensive. I do have a stroboscope? "Timing light" but the bikes been hacked up pretty bad and im missing the centre stand and probably the mounts to attach on. Need to get me a proper lift.

Thanks xschris I appreciate the wisdom. The plugs arn't nearly as lean looking after upping the pilots but its starting to look like my midrange is a little rich going to put another tank of gas worth of miles on the current settings and check the overall color again. Idle mix screws are intact...

Statically.

Going to hunt for an air leak. My manual puts 142.5 main and 42.5 pilots at stock. Im just trying to be as descriptive as possible and im really only fallowing the factory pro high rpm guide basically to the letter. Using feel as the majority of my post 4k rpm decision making and using plug...

Blah still lean after 30 miles and im around 4 turns on both. Ive hit the rich part of the fuel screw but i think one size up on both is called for. I might install the 47.5s and use a lower fuel screw out position for the time being. Utilizing lower fuel screws out is totally cool right? I...

Both cylinders are lean, upping pilots to 42.5. I dont have 45s but i do have 47.5s if needed. Carb sync tomorrow after a "spirited" 10-15 min ride in this +70F weather.

I religiously sync a warm engine after each change. I might remake my manometer and find mines wildly inaccurate after a bit of use.

Could use some sage advice. Tested the bike again last night and nothing really jumped out untill about 17 miles in, what i consider is about the time the bike got warm. Was running around the hilly side off town to listen to deceleration and sustained acceleration. Deceleration sounds great...

It never ends does it? Been awhile and thought i would check in. Since my last update I had a scenerio where i rode the bike all day parked it, pulled plugs looked at the color and buttoned it all up. Had to be at work and could not get the bike to start. I was done! Done i say, i drained the...

So i'll be doing a total rewire, there are no fuses in the current setup and no thanks that's not right. Super duper excited and if i can fit it into the budget i'll freshen/consolidate some of the older electronics. Found some schematics on here and will be obtaining the wire and space to do it...

Most success stories and what many would recommend as your start is from 3.25 to 3.75 turns out from lightly seated with 4 being the maximum, haven't heard of a minimum. I kept mine uniform till plug color was leading me to and end result of 2.75 on the right and 3.25 on the left if i remember...

I own the pocket tuner but i finally found the website. http://www.factorypro.com/tech/tech_tuning_procedures/tuning_carbtune,CV,high_rpm_engines.html

There's a guide out there with a pink background or pink writing maybe some blue font as well near the top. It's a race tuning guide and it says that step number 1 is figuring out your main jet and working down. It recommends finding the smallest main with best combination of rev speed a pull. I...

Some sage wisdom from others on the forum informed me that 4 turns is basically max, end of story. If you need additional fuel due to lean plugs at 6 turns, a larger volume of fuel is required which could be an incorrect jet, or a cracked carb boot sucking air. From what i understand, your plug...

Silly question but, your using moto oil designed for wet clutches right. Maybe the previous owner was using the wrong oil.

So the brand new shiny points and condenser have been installed. 2 nights ago i got all the parts on and tried to putt it around the neighborhood. The bike was performing terribly, shuddering on pick up and slight popping on acceleration. Barely put a mile on it and limped it home to shed tears...

From the picture i can see the circular rubber cover that hides the grub screw * i stabbed my finger real good the 1st time i tried to pry mine up, its a rather deep piece of rubber* and locknut for clutch cable adjustments, this is where you would make the adjustment if engagement is poor. I...
