    New needles or what?

    Today I tested the DynoJet 118 mains and DJ needles with clips to last groove (leanest). Before that I adjusted the float levels to 1 mm lower. Bike starts well, but when warmed up it dies, when twisting the throttle. It get a way too much fuel with the DJ needles. I put back oem needles lifted...

    New needles or what?

    Steady cruising in about 1/8 throttle. DynoJet needles are 2.5mm and oem`s 3mm before the clip slots, so maybe smaller main jets are enough for the full power. Smaller mains maybe don?t "over fuel" the low end with thinner DJ needles.

    New needles or what?

    I installed the Dynojet stage 3 kit. 138 mains and needles in third groove. It dies to fuel, when opening the throttle, so I change the oem needles back. Now the bike runs good (needles lifted to max), except 2000 - 3500 steady cruising. It gets too much fuel. Pilot screws are adjusted to the...

    The "Scraps Racer" project

    Thanks for your positive feedback! I got the license plate yesterday, so the project is finished (so far). Bike feels stable at higher speeds and was fun to ride. Fine tuning continues... In the carbs are now 138 mains and needles raised to max. I need to lower the needles a bit. Spark plugs...

    New needles or what?

    I?ve been done some test rides with my Scraps racer. First it does nont want to accelerate at all. Then I lif the needles to the highest position. Now it runs a much better, but far from good. Should I change the place of the thin metal washer and thicker plasitic washer in the needle or buy...

    Carbs balanced. Here is the video clip. The smoke around the engine is coming from header paint. I?m sorry about the video quality. It?s taken with my mobile phone and the bike was inside the garage.

    The "Scraps Racer" project

    Thanks again your positive feedback! By the way, the bike started with first start! It runs a bit roughly, but it should smooth down when the carbs are balanced. The exhaust sound was nice growl. I can take a video clip, when I have carbs balanced.

    I was close to start up the bike to night, but was out of fuses. I blow the last one, when testing rear light wire. It touches the accidentally the frame. The front brake reservoir is only temporary. The fuel tank needs some trimmining and then painting the name & stripes. Licence plate...

    The seat would be cowered with black vinyl with one red stripe in it. The oil cooler has scoops behind, which should help the airflow a bit. Anyway the engine is stock and I?m going to use Motul 5100 15W50 oil in it. Only exhaust and air filter are free flow type. By the way, do you think the...

    One thing I dont like is the electric job. This bike should be as simple as possible and thats why the oem speedo-, rew counter-, warnig lights shoe box size thing is disabled. So I need to butcher about half away from wirng harness... After two days (invisible work) the ignition, starter and...

    If the color fades away in some spots, it?s ok. I try to make this bike look like old, used cafe racer. Thats why for example, I?m not going to paint the engine.
