Aaaah I see! That dreaded cross-border shipping... that's so weird from my perspective... another country right on the doorstep and shipping there is a nightmare...Comment

Looks like it won't be too long before your motorcycle finally comes out of the closet.
Anyway, it's looking great! I hope I get to own one of those some day.Comment

Thanks guys
I took it out for a rip Wednesday and it seemed to run alright with the DJ134 jet but I didn't really push it to find out what the plugs would be like on top end.
They do look nice and tan while riding it around and cruising.
I've noticed that with both restrictors removed that the throttle is either on or off for the first bit. but after the low range it responds quite well.
Kind of scary in first and second how much it pulls. It shouldn't have that much I would have though.
Today I put the Mik 150's in and took it for a rip. Seems a bit different but hard to tell. Seems almost a little less responsive on bottom end.
Might have to adjust that later but for now I'm still breaking it in again and can't really wind it out yet to set the proper main.
I did get quite a scare the first time I opened it up and herd this awful winding sound. I thought I spun a bearing but it was just the tach seizing up. Next thing you know the needle starts dancing all over the place.
I'm going to swap it out with another one and tear that one apart. Easy fix but have to cut it open.
Besides that I soon have to check the valves. I still need two shims, A 250 and 255.
Also there is some cam walk. Only at idle and its more of a tap than anything but I know what it is at least. I did have two sets of cams and one set had a shim. I might have to use it or get some smaller shims made.Last edited by Guest; 06-07-2013, 09:19 PM.Comment

Sounds good.The tuning can be a witch to dial in.Check your tach cable before digging into the tach.I had one break but work sparaticly.It sounds like you may have the same issue.The cable is cheap and easy to replace.
My jetting is 142.5/40/no washers under the needle,and 10mm removed from my slide springs.I have the lunch box filter and a flow through D&D muffler from a Hayabusa on the stock GS header.My bike pulls hard from 2000rpm to redline.My jets are Mikuni from http://www.carbparts.com/ .I can get you P/Ns for the jets if you need them.Comment

Cable is new and well lubed but I tried the tach on a drill and its dry as a bone. Still have to swap it out.
Need to get some plugs for doing chops. It will soon be ready for wide open throttle after this oil change.Comment
