    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi

My 1981 GS1100E has 4 pods and a 4 to1 exhaust.
The Dynatek manual mentions that a stock compression engen should have the crank trigger set between 35 and 40 degrees.

I have it at 37.5.

Does any one have experience with this setup and if there is a better choice for a degree?
What would be the results between 35 and 40 degrees.


Thank you.
 
Does it pink (or ping or knock or "diesel) depending on what terminology is used out your way...?

If it does then reduce it a bit & if not then increase it till it does then back it off.

You'll want to be under load, in your warmest temperatures with your worst fuel for safety (i.e. low octane or old fuel, high heat & heavy load such as high gear up a steep hill all contribute to pinking).

:)
 
I still have not rode her yet. I'm still adjusting and fixing some electrical issues.
But I will keep an ear on her.

Thank you.
