Did the fuel injection not work without the airbox?

Lol, the TM chokes dont work as intended either.

I'm just saying I wish I could build a bike that was all in a box. Most of us dont have that luxury. No electrical either so that a big part of the battle missing. Thanks sounds more bad ass than I thought. Not sure I want that hot exhaust right at my feet I can see why people were injured on...

OK must be a Japan thing. Those guys that drop 40k all day long on kz1000s. Not for me. I agree with your snow mobile comment. I felt bamboozled. I mean I made it work but took 14hrs which is rediculous for a "bolt on kit". I gave them all my specs and then some and shipped with Australia jet...

It's a cool pick but that's for true race bikes not very practical for day to day use. How many needle options 1-6? vs 20+ for fcr? You can get a venturi style injection kit for fcrs too but it's not popular as it messes with the leak jet and adjustable accelerator pump. Also is more prone to...

It was a casual vid nice to watch. The hard part is most of us don't have a bike in a box. I'm not gonna lie not hearing it run at the end was a disappointment after watching it all be put together.

They are fcrs copies in the end. Also you can get fcr parts and jets everywhere because they put them in lots of dirt bikes! Yay! I have boysen thumb adjustable accelerator pups on my xv too. I bet I quote that mikuni carb to my top dealer in the city and they will scratch their heads. Rip...

Looks pretty darn good to me. If anything a tad lean. I can't see the detail but with that plug and a white ring around the electrode is perfect in my books.

That's lighter than a gpz1100!

Ya the deltoros are in the class of fcr and hsr as they are flatslides with another fuel circuit, the accelerator pump. But if u compare any mikuni to any keihin carb the quality of keihin always comes on top and its not even close. I would not be surprised the deltoros are better than mikuni...

Ya that vaguely sounds familiar. Ya it was years ago when installed them. I always keep all that packaging. I remember them coming with spacers, ill investigate.

Ya it's not a sag issue. It's mechanical.

Only 3 pages! Nice looks pro.

I was blown away coming from 2 stroke air jet tuning where you go from 0.5 to 1.5 turns and find the sweet spot somewhere in between. Even 1/2 a turn is a big deal on these carbs. I leaned it out a little too much and got stumble after, I fixed it with half a turn WTF! 1.5 turns on the fuel jet...

Its the progressive spring upgrade for the xv920 so aftermarket correct, your supposed to be able to run these without the air added, iirc. I'll check it the preload I forgot these are adjustable, lol. Hopefully thats it. The front has never felt stiff. Oh the front will never overcome the...

On my tracker I have the vintage air forks and added the progressive springs which is suppose to be an upgrade but they bottom out on hitting the curb on my drive way for example. I am a light person and my rear shock is semi-modern (1997 triumph). Is there anything else I can do? Add more oil...

Got it running good now. I had to make some gaskets and play more with the jetting and bowl heights. And I can't believe how sensative the fuel screw is on the tm's like one turn out wrong the bike runs like ass at idle like it's got a vaccum leak.

When things are custom you never know with fueling I learned. It was pooling gas in the front cylinder for my exact worry which is when a spray of fuel hits the bend. It's a flat slide carb thing.

Nice that's great to hear! Looks like a lot of fun. Ya it's a bit of price jump going 1002cc, 11:1, cams, head work, titanium valve springs, New ignition. Your bike is looking pretty light so power to weight is a big deal. Your getting huge gains in hp tq and throttle response and another...

Ya the 43s. At that point I machine another fcr kit. I didn't want to do that again. But in hindsight thats that route I wish I did. Mikinoz claimed the kit plug and play and I wanted a relaxed install for once. I didn't want to spend hours fudging around with my fcr kit but in the end I think...
