I have been trying to get my 1100l to run right and it's just killing me. Every cylinder is lean. I have had the carbs apart 6 times jetting them and cleaning them. I have the single k&n pods with a v&h 4 into 1. It runs ok but every plug is lean. I think there is something wrong with the carbs themselves. Anybody have a set they want to get rid of. The guy before me did work to these and i think they are done. Thanks for any help Dan :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
 
Welcome to my Hell!
O.K. Calm down.
Spend the cash to get the Dynojet stage 3 jet kit for your bike. Start from the begining. Proceede slowly and deliberatly and all will work out in the end.
We're not only here to help, we're here to revel in your pain and suffering.

Does your bike run allright? Does it overheat? If the answers are yes and no, just ride it. My plugs have read lean for the last 25k, I don't care, and my bike doesn't seem to either.
 
that is not good sound advice..... you have no idea just how lean your bike is ..... also what determin if your engine gets damaged is not just the rich lean condition of your bike but also the load condition of your bike if for example .... you weigh 150lbs have a 1100cc engine with a peak torque at 5 grand .... if you take that bike and lets say its running lean . if you ride easy and shift at 5 grand (peak torque) you may not hurt that bike ..... same bike and lean condition with a rider of 230lbs and someone that loads the engine and short shifts at 2500 rpm then he will have higher comb temps and most likely damage that engine .....

it is critical that you knkow what is going on inside that engine if you are going to be trying to get more hp out of it than it was designed for ....

as an example of how tediously balanced the conditions of an engine is.... a rich condition runs cool .... a lean condidition runs hotter.....
the pistion and cyl head of your engine are made of aluminim .... witch melts at a temp of around 1200deg F even the exhaust temp is higher than that (1600) and the cumbustion temp is higher than that ... and thats for a stoiciometric a/f ratio... leaner will be considerabley hotter .... so why dosnt the pistion and the head melt ... because its only for a split second and the head gets disapated through the cooling fans and sent out the exhaust as well as it getts cooled by the incoming fuel.... if you run hotter than the engine can disapate the heat (lean a/f) then put that engine under load you will melt pistons heads and other parts.....

and we havent even gotn to piisten expansion and rings sticking ........
 
After six years, I doubt the OP is listening any more...
 
:-kdoh..... lol....... i was in the middle of a search and for got i was looking at old post.........oh well now if someone else finds this info they wont be mislead....... or at least have the info to create an egucated choice on the matter....
wow i gues the carb cleaning fumes are getting to my head .....lol :p

DOH!

Yeah, but I'm still writing 2009 on everything, too. I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into this new decade.

But just last week, I told someone I was 42. I was born in May 1968... :confused:

And I can't find my torque wrench, either. Dammit, it was right here a couple of weeks ago... :confused: :confused: :confused:

If you don't already have to wear glasses that's coming.

Just like all the hoo-hah over "the new millenium" a few years ago, it's not "this new decade" yet. :-k

Look at it this way: the first decade was the years 1 through 10. Two thousand years later, the pattern follows, the decade would be 2001 through 2010. :o

Yeah, I'm one that believes "the new millenium" started in 2001, not 2000. :eek:

By the way, for any of you that were involved with the Y2K transition, can you imagine what it's going to be like after December 31, 9999 when we have to go to FIVE digits? :D

Being 1 month younger than bwringer and having my eyesight and memory go in the last year can I be the first to say I won't care. I think at 8031 years old it might be not that important.

Well, not sure about you Steve, but in the year 9999, if I'm doing more than eating my green jello and bitching about my meds and wanting my peas warmed up then I'll be very happy.:clap:
