I should have my bike registered this weekend. My endorsment class is Sunday. I am so Jazzed to start riding....
I am anxious to see how my engine holds up on the daily 20mile R/T commute. Thx to Barnone, here is my first upgrade.

Gardo,
You need to take you Heist back to the dealer and ask them to adjust your carburetor to take out the cold bloodiness. I raised the needle with a washer and adjusted the idle mixture screw. I can fire my DF up and she is ready to go.
Have them take a look at the following to get an idea of what to adjust.
"Tuning manual for a PZ26 carb ( PZ30 on the DF250RTB/Heist looks similar except for 30mm instead of 26mm size) is located at

Engine should hold up fine with proper maintenance and proper mods. My valves were too tight so you might want to take a look at them. Watch the color of the plug for a too lean condition which could cause excessive engine temps.
Nice. Quite loud sounds.Quote:

How about sharing the pdf on valve adjustment?
Nice vid Gardo... yeah she's a cold bloooded widow.
Awesome Carb PDF Barnone!
KTM +1 on the MSF class! It's really fun, you learn alot and get legal. Can't beat that :)
Enjoy the bikes guys!
the intake should be set at .002 and the exhaust at .004 and that is directly from the guys at PITQuote:

Going to a ride in for some breakfast tomorrow and then a small ride. Cant wait to hear if the exhaust is doable or not. Tom at the Weaver group is looking at my design. Will see. Will grab some more pics tomorrow in the light. Safe riding all.
So, you took my suggestion and started your own local CCW dealership in Vegas?:thumbsup:Quote:

Can't wait to read your reports--and take video; I always like Vegas
Thumbs up on the dealership KTM!
Here's a pic of the '33 ford style taillight...

CHAINGUARD:
My State requires one to pass inspection.
LOL at that janky bicycle chainguard. I can't imagine it will actually do anything should the chain break.
HOW TO:
~ Drill a big hole in the guard to bolt thru the turn signal mount. Note: You gotta pull the signal wiring out of the can and run it through the hole you just drilled.
~ Bend a little bracket off the bottom fender strut mount.
~ Cut the guard length to the match the frame angle in front of the turn signal mount.
~ Pass inspection. Somehow.

It's thin as shit, sits up to high, doesn't match the diameter but passes.
I gotta say my local dealer, Brett @ PIT, and even Scotty were awesome helping me out that day. Emails were flying. It's really good to know the service is there when you need it. :)
*** Also notice in the top photo, my tire wasn't totally seated on the rim... I inflated up to 50+ psi, squirted some soapy water in there and left it overnight. Popped right over. :)
Kevin,
Like that tail light, thanks for the excellent photos. Good tip on getting the tire to seat. I had the same problem on my Qlink XF200 SM.
What does PIT say for the PSI front and back?
Are they using metric or inch values. I assume they are talking about a cold engine. Every place I read says metric .06 mm to .08 mm cold. Guess if I set the valves with Pit's recommendations (cold engine) then I would check them hot to make sure they were not open a bit.Quote:

CCW says Intake valve/ Exhaust valve gap: 0.05mm/0.06 mm

Too tight clearance can cause burnt valves.
Anybody have a lead on the Pilot jet for the Sheng Wey PZ30?
28mm x 5mm looks like this:

ride report is up
Clicky clicky here
I never could find pilot jets for my Dezni PZ30 copy of the Mukini PZ30. Seems all the different clones use different pilot jets but the same main jet?Quote:

Just put another 40 miles on the bike with a quick romp around. With all the emission stuff off the Bike is pulling stronger. Need to pull the plug and check to see if its running lean though.
Removing the SAI and the charcoal canister should have no effect on performance.Quote:

Well, I've had the bike for a week, and tonight after work I went out on a 60mile trip. 15miles south on the Freeway, at 70mph to Sahara blvd. Worked on the Mother-in-laws pool heater. Then I headed east on sahara, and went north on the Las Vegas strip. I went north all the way past freemont street up to Lake Mead blvd, and up north on the freeway back home. The bike was a real head turner. I stopped at the "Pawn Stars" shop, parked right out in front and attempted to snap a shot of tha Heist in front of their shop. Attempted...
The biggest body guard I have ever seen came outside and asked me if the bike was for sale, and when I said "Not exactly", he booted my ass off the sidewalk. Not to self, DO NOT PARK in front of Chum Lee's pawnshop...
I am very, very happy with the bike. It runs like a charm, and cruises great at 70mph. I am much more comfortable at 50mph, but it's nice to know i can hop on a freeway from time to time when I need to. I am now commuting 20miles a day to work and back.
That's it. I'm posting a vid this weekend from a quick ride up the Las Vegas Strip...
Do it I dare ya :icon10:Quote:
