finally getting my bike..... - Page 3

Weldangrind · 06-10-2013, 03:52 PM

Here's how I solved the button head fasteners: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/181058002666?...84.m1439.l2649

I also bought a handful of SS socket head cap screws in a few different lengths, along with an assortment of SS washers. I certainly use them.

Let us know how the CDI and coil work for you; perhaps I'll try them if you approve of them. Please show us the links.

Instead of those cheezy clamps for the headlight, I'm going to try SS T-bolt clamps.

as far as the cdi is concerned, that is the same model i had on my pocket rocket, just a different plug, and it really woke the bike up.....coil i have no experience with.....

CDI

SpudRider · 06-10-2013, 04:22 PM

That's the fender I recommended.

I have the same fender mounted on my Zong.

FastDoc · 06-10-2013, 04:31 PM

That is the exact fender I am running on the YZ. I prefer that style.

I thought that might be the CDI you purchased. Humanbeing says it will work, but that it's not as aggressive as the no-rev limit CDI that is intended for the vertical motors. I have no empirical data. I look forward to your butt-dyno results.

I bought two of those fenders in orange, because Spud says orange is the fastest colour.

As for the cdi, i like this model because it has a little LED that confirms that you are getting a signal from the pickup coil...its particularly hand in diagnostics, since if theres no flash on the led, the cdi is either not gettingmpower, not getting signal, or the box is bad... And if you do get the flash, but no spark you know to check coil and plug.....

As for the agressiveness...these boxes let my litle 110 rev out to over 11k with a race cam...so i would saytat the 10k they say in the ad is a bit off....also made it much more ballsy in the mid rpms....went from being dead even in a standing run against a xr100r (5spd vs my 4 spd lifan) to edging him out half a length by 3rd gear...good enough improvement for me...LOL

Weldangrind · 06-11-2013, 10:07 AM

That is a significant upgrade. One thing I'd like to try (if I wasn't so cheap) is a programmable CDI that HB showed us. It has a USB cable and software, and it allows you to tailor the curve to suit your needs. I'd geek out over that.

Someday i am getting one of these for fun....

EFI

bogieboy · 06-11-2013, 05:31 PM

more fun today.... byebye rusty crappy looking header.....i also wrapped the pipe past the clamp all the way to the muffler...event though you cant see it, i wnated to have a bit more portection for the starter relay wires that drape dangerously close to the pipe, that already have some heat damage....

SpudRider · 06-11-2013, 05:56 PM

The header wrap looks good.

My goodness, that's a very clean engine!

bogieboy · 06-11-2013, 06:03 PM

thanks! yeah the engine itself is quite clean, most of the frame is clean too, a bit of rust here and there on the frame, especially the kickstand...LOL but overall its a fairly clean bike for having sat out for several years uncovered....all the vacuum hoses are cracking, but i have a feeling most of that emmissions crap will be coming off soon enough....LOL

bogieboy · 06-13-2013, 11:57 PM

new fender looks muuuuuchh better...

SpudRider · 06-14-2013, 01:08 AM

Yes, the Polisport Universal Supermoto fenders are very nice.

FastDoc · 06-14-2013, 01:14 PM

Very nice!

Looking more and more like a YZ ;-)

bogieboy · 06-19-2013, 09:25 PM
