I attempted it with ac stick at low amperage.. wasn't happening, so off it went to the welding shop. He tried his clark mig 1st, no go.
I got the paperwork in the mail today, so I must have been one of the lucky ones (I ordered from that Manny feller). Heading out here in a few to adjust valves, change oil, and a couple other things. |

It took its first breath! I have to let it cool down and do some minor carb adjustments. I have a slight pop/miss at idle, and it's slightly worse just off idle.. I probably just need to open the fuel mixture screw a touch more. I can just "blip" the throttle and it's very responsive, so I'm surely not off by much.
Still gotta adjust the chain, swap the wires for the front turn signals (might be confusing when the front signal is the opposite of the rear when flashing ), adjust the clutch cable at the motor (too hot ATM), and a few little piddly things before the 1st ride! |

Run it for a while. Take a few rides. It's mood will get better. Then do some more adjusting.

After you hit about 500 miles these bikes really smooth out.

I bet I'll hit that before summer's over! In two days, I've put 32 miles (as per the odometer, so probably closer to 24) on it, so I went ahead and changed the oil. Nothing too surprising, just the usual fine aluminum powder mixed in there. I did start out with fresh Rotella before i ever fired it up for the 1st time.

I do want to thank all of you who have made various comments throughout all of the threads on here about what you run for carb jets. I did go ahead and play with the idle mixture screw yesterday, and it only needed another 1/8 to 1/4 turn out to get the popping at idle to go away, and the 120 main along with the needle clip one notch below center seems to be dead on. I'll know more when I run it a while and check the plug.

I drained the forks and refilled with dexron VI (it was on the shelf) last night. I drained out 180ML and put the same back in. Should I add more, or does that sound about right? I'm thinking they could hold more, but how much?

200 ml's is what i got out of mine, you can adjust that a little depending on your preference just dont put too much in. whatever they had in min forks looked like burnt motor oil. |

I drained 200ml out and put 210ml in. Made it nice and firm for off road trail riding. Before I changed it the forks would bottom out.

mine were the same way , they would bottom out thats why i changed it, i put in 200 ml of 10wt fork oil and it is good for me,
im not sure how much more you can put in without running the risk of blowing the seals out, i wouldnt go over 20ml just to be safe. |

Same here! It was used break-in oil without a doubt. I'll ride it a while before I add more, but it does seem a bit spongy. Another option would be longer spacers to increase the pre-load on the springs, but how much is too much?
