The chain and sprockets not due to be delivered until tomorrow so today I changed the oil and adjusted the valves. I installed some Led accent lights but the didn't turn out well.

still not checked the front sprocket yet...
Got a laptop that wont fix (ordered 4th motherboard)
Rebuilt an XJ900 (from boxes) was a couple of days away and the starter clutch failed.. urghh So.. Order parts, remove engine, split cases.. Funny how stuff I torqued down correctly last week, is now 5,000 times harder to remove?

Can't really see the light show on your bike I'm afraid.. you might wanna resize your pics a little lol There are some free online ones.

My speedo is a joke too.. It was reading 70 when my GPS was showing 62

I'm not very good with pics still figuring them out lol. The light show looks better not on cam but still not the effect I was going far. not bright enough although you can see the individual LEDs through the plastic in places. 62? I'm jealous I haven't made it to 60 by GPS yet. maybe with this mod but doubting it.

Received and installed the new sprockets and chain today. I got lucky and the new chain was exactly the right length so I didn't have remove any links. Took it for a ride around the yard but couldn't get it on the road because I was with my 9 year old daughter. Probably be this weekend before I can test it on the road. I installed a JT front and rear sprocket and JT chain and it so for no more top of the chain tight bottom of the chain loose again. I couldn't tell any difference between the original front sprocket and the new one though.

pics of the old and new sprockets together for comparison. I couldn't see any difference in the new front 17t and the old 17t when I put them on top of each other.

pic of my bike on harbor freight stand

Weldangrind · 06-26-2015, 01:27 AM

I have a very similar stand, from Princess Auto in Canada.

I like the stand a lot, its very stable and sturdy sometimes when you get buy something from Harbor Frieght it can be hit or miss but I highly recommend this stand, I think I paid around $25 for it on sale.

Finally got to test out the new 17T-50T combination. Seems to work out pretty good a little low in 1rst but not extremely high rpms in 5th. Top speed is now 58 mph (gps) a gain of 2 miles per hour. Still not the 65 motobuys advertised but better and probably would be closer if lost some weight. Thank you everybody for the help and advise. speedomet must be breaking in because although still reading high it's not reading as high as it was. I'll post updates as the miles go up. I might remove the air box and try a pod filter.

Weldangrind · 07-05-2015, 07:01 PM

Does the battery reside in the same box as the air filter?

No the battery is under the seat just after the air box

Thankyou, I ordered this filter tonight, Do I need to oil it? If so, what do I use? I also ordered the Mikuni Carb that you suggested in the mikuni recommendation thread. I don't currently have a fuel filter should I order one or will that possibly just make my power loss issue worse if its a fuel flow issue?

SpudRider · 07-06-2015, 02:19 AM

Yes, you definitely need to apply oil to the air filter. Otherwise, you risk getting dirt in the combustion chamber, which will damage your intake valves.

This is new to me, is there specific oil to use? I'm not sure if I'm gonne leave the pod filter on after I try it out, I have found a couple of public road creak crossings and some places to offroad so I may be off roading more than I thought. today when I went through the creek my feet and ankles of my pants got wet so if I do that more a pod may not be the best choice. But I am enjoying working on the bike almost as much as I am enjoying riding it. Ordeedr a mikuni carb today so I can play with jetting without messing up my stock carb.
