Well darn. So a few things. The homemade Manometer works great, but it is too slow. I had wondered about that, seeing other examples using 2 stroke oil like this....but in any case it worked.... But... Ok so test conditions: New Plugs New Coolant My oil is only 500miles old and full and...

Alright guys so.... Yes Randy, hooking up one vacuum to all 4 lines on the motion pro. This is how it is supposed to be calibrated, and how I have been doing it. Problem is that lets say you do that at idle, mess with it and get all 4 meters reading the same, like they should be. Now...

Yeah Scott, I read through all your old posts on that. It's funny because I almost sold the FZ as well, and now I feel like I am an overprotective mother of it ha ha. I absolutely love the bike, and these bars as well. I get up to so many different things in my shop, and don't like getting...

I agree with you on the Carbtune, found it on Ebay. Same price as on website. Around 100$ now, but still not a bad deal. Almost bought it last night, and probably will soon. Maybe I'm wrong on the MP, but I don't think so :rolleyes:... The Carbtune is far more precise. Not too hard to...

Ha ha...you sent me down a rabbit hole, Scott. Suppose I could have looked this up before, but I was already set on the motion pro being something I wasn't going to use again, since the last time I sync'd the TBs, let alone this Vibe issue... So, I had just been asking if anyone else had used...

I'm on board with KISS. But, I don't have a problem with fluids. When I got that motion pro was years ago, and I didn't realize how bad it was. In fact, as I remember it was a "free gift" with a big order I made when I was restoring my 700SC. It did serve its purpos at the time, but now I...

No, The set screws aren't going to be on my homemade job. And yeah, thank you, I know about the restrictors, have a bunch of them in my parts drawers. The set screws are on this motion pro "sync pro" of mine, the one I took the picture of with the levels off. The way it works is you hook a...

Thanks Scott. That pic is NOT hooked up to anything, just taken this morning for reference. Yeah, ha ha, that would be way off huh.... Yeah, I've thought about getting a good manometer. Thank you for that, I will check out and likely go with it. I agree, for precision....For now though...

And just to get it cleared up and out of the way, i pulled the rotor and compared it with new one. It's pretty easy to compare, since I filled out the nub on the original, it fits snuggly into the recess for the nub on the new one. Put them both on a tight fitting shaft, and do comparative...

Exactly....Ok So safety check was pretty simple, long as you're paying attention to what you're doing (seemed to me at least?). Hash mark on the case, right angle to rotor, file, check, file, check, ok. See I would have thought that I would have felt the detonation, or at the least felt a...

Thanks Scott. The orange, I googled the spark plug charts (technology, just easier than grabbing the Haynes) and saw a ton of examples. A chemical in the booster, MMT, is responsible. MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl is an anti-knock additive. Turns out that the brand I...

Alright, before anyone responds, some more info. I hope it's okay to post these pics here. Now that I see these, I really think it has something to do with the vibration, so it is relevant to the thread big time. Most likely it was there, I'm just feeling it now with the Aluminum bars. It's...

Well, I searched all the old threads. Few maps posted, that I already have, or are very similar. None of them from bikes with the trigger mod. FinalImpact, is the pic of those cell settings still pretty close to what you're running? I know you have said you are still working it in, but I...

Hi all. Welcome to my personal page. Feel free to drop me a PM, a reply on the Forums, or anything else, if there's anything I can do to help. I love this site and love the attention we all give to our bikes, and each other! And yeah, ok, I like to go fast too :rolleyes:

Thanks Randy! For what it's worth, if I were describing this I would describe it as "I can feel the exhaust tone". I would 100% have blamed it on the new exhaust cans, had I not taken the few rides already with the stock bars, trouble free. Like a dummy I tested the new bars on a 2.5 hr trip...

Hi all. So over last couple of days I put some new bars on. Been wanting to do this forever. I like to shop local, and it just so happened local shop had these KTM bars. From what I can tell, same as the Renthals. Very little sweep, similar rise to stock. I had heard of aluminum bars being...

That's what I thought, which would mean I would need a PC logger, or a complete setup actually since the PCFC doesn't take piggybacks. I checked out the threads, although most of the files seem to not be there now. Would have liked to check out a few, shoot, may have already, when I downloaded...

I will start a new thread on that, thanks... Back to trigger. I ordered one of those R triggers, so we will see if it is 1.5 degrees advanced, or has any other discernible differences. Thanks again for the info, Loren

Yeah, I didn't think so on the can. There are a few good paint products thes days that come in spray, but not THAT good ha ha. I'll check out the link, thanks! of course if I take them off again I'm going to just have to cut em in half again and straight pipe through those now open cats of...

Are you talking about high heat ceramic paint? Like the 1200 degree header paint you can get from auto part stores? That's ceramic, and I've used it a bunch, but it doesn't seem to hold up to abrasions any better than enamel spray paints, for example, and i thought it might be troublesome with...
