Guess today is the day that...

    Dynojet stage 3 tuning HELP

    So installed the DJ washer on top of the E clip and still the same thing. Light feathering of the throttle in neutral produces sputtering. Steady slow opening of the throttle in neutral revs pick up normally. I am baffled. Any help will be appreciated!

    Dynojet stage 3 tuning HELP

    So after digging more in those forums I found out that over the years people with stage 3s found out that the Dynojet instructions on where to place the OEM washer and the DJ washer are actually wrong. DJ says. Spring -oem washer-dj washer-E clip-plastic donut-plastic cone-circlip. In reality...

    Dynojet stage 3 tuning HELP

    K&Ns oiled with their specific oil valves adjusted over 500kms ago all tests are done with external fuel tank but for years I have canceled the vacuum operation of the petcock by plugging the lines and using an in-line ON/OFF switch. Everything is in order on the bike I was riding it 1,5 month...

    Kerosene carb rack dipping???

    Forgot to add that I have access to compressed air guitar strings and all that jazz regrading the innards of the carbs. I am very pleased with the result I may say that the kero even added some shine to the dull finish that the carbs already had. But keep in mind that I didn’t do the same...

    Kerosene carb rack dipping???

    UPDATE. Split the rack soaked and agitated each carb with old toothbrushes first in white vinegar and then did the same in kero. Again the Kero amazed me like it did when I did a top end refurbish on the bike and cleaned the whole block with it. Carbs look like they have Been vapor blasted.! The...

    Kerosene carb rack dipping???

    Yeah of course they should be disassembled and they are EXCEPT breaking the carbs from the rack. Because I think my original question caused some confusion the real question is. Is kerosene harsh enough on metals or rubbers??? I know it can de-stink an engine bay easily using brushes but the...

    Kerosene carb rack dipping???

    Hi just want to give my carbs a thorough cleaning I already removed all the guts from the carbs and I am thinking will a carb dip in kero do a good job or will it damage the aluminum inside the carbs and eat away any rubber? Particularly the T joint o-rings???

    Rear brake refurbished STILL NOT ENOUGH BITE

    So I think I goofed up on buying new pads and be done with the overhaul. A quick search on the internet pointed out that those goldfren type 076 pads will fit my rear caliper. Upon trying to install them they are not long enough for the two holes to match the guides on the caliper that the pads...

    Rear brake refurbished STILL NOT ENOUGH BITE

    UPDATE. Big improvement with zip tie overnight trick. Initial sponginess before movement of pistons is gone now the bike stops depending the power you use on the pedal. Still not locking the wheel though. I think I am expecting too much from those calipers. Also thinking of cleaning the disc...

    Rear brake refurbished STILL NOT ENOUGH BITE

    Thanks Rob the thought crossed my mind too but I can?t understand how is it possible to still have bubbles after all that bleeding. That?s why I zip tied the pedal in a last ditch attempt to remove them overnight!
