if you go through with it, be sure to let us know how it works out
i woulda high temp soldered it with a butain torch , but live n learn
I considered the soldering but I worry if heat rising or fl heat loosening the solder.
:rolleyes1:
that would be my first choice.Quote:

After I saw the picture Bobthebobber sent with the chewed up tail light wiring I when out and checked mine. Since mine is the same model. I was relieved to see there was about 3/4" inch of clearence
With my luck I go to put it on and make another leak. But I'll consider my options. Cycle world here locally has something used and similar for 75.Quote:

Any ideas? Its got the bigger main jet, at 38 spocket. Havent messed with the needle though
Cheers Matt
Pull the plug and clean or replace and check for colorQuote:

start it , go wide open throttle and chop the kill switch and check your plug color , (better yet ride it untill its studdering and cut kill switch and check plug then)
and have a look at chain and air filter /choke
u using sparkplug that came with it ?
shuddering under acceleration makes me 1st think , leaking air intake manifold (the rubber bit that connects carb to the bike)
Can anyone who installed the 38t sprocket verify that you dont need to remove any chain links....and did the sprocket make much of a noticeable difference?
i put on a 35 and needed to remove no link , but will need to , its at maximum adjustment back now , if it stretches even a bit im having to pull 2 links
speed change went from 55 top rpm top gear to shifting from 4th at 70 indicated into 5th as on "overdrive" or cruise gear
I also use a 428 chain to let me get larger front sprocket (17 tooth) stock bobber it 520 chain that cannot do this
42-35 = 7 teeth , and 15 to 17 front , 3 teeth rear or 1 forward = 10% speed change so , about 43% speed boost just from my sprocket change = geared for 79 mph indicated max rpms , but remember we have pushrod motors so it makes more power 1/3-1/4 below max rpms , I think my powerband is set for 70-72 max hp in 5th gear
ps - I have seen this bike hit my indicated top speed of 80 , but conditions had to be perfect , without help it just purrs along at 70
6'5" 175lbs - flat texas highways
a 38 tooth no front change , your looking at perhaps 62-65 mph indicated top speed a 35 would add another 6 mph to that
:popcorn:
:popcorn:
To me its definitely worth doing, the gearing is way better. Not sitting at 30mph in top gearQuote:

Thanks for all the input on the sprocket. I got a 38 i picked up from amazon a couple months ago that has a silver plating on which i am going to sandblast and paint black before i mount it. looking forward to this upgrade. Just hit 100 miles yesterday and the bikes running 100%. Got to change my oil now.
BTW, i ordered one of those electronic needle tachs from amazon and it arrived today. I plan to take the tank off in a week or two to repaint the bike and i will wire it up then. Ill keep ya all updated on how and if it works.
:scooter:
Thanks for the tips. I run it on 98 ron/octane so should be ok on that frontQuote:

going to hook the blue and white together and leave the green alone.
headlight blinding. tested it today.

:deal:
so both blue/white come from the front? I will remove my tank and have another look.
Thank you

dandaman- how did those sprocket bolts fit that you just got on page 326? did you have to cut them for length or do they fit right in?
direct fit
