    I knew that Earl, which is why I stated the differences between the two in order for anybody to see and understand the difference. As I understood it, he did not know if the carbs were off the 83 or the 86. I can swap any 41r TCI into the 84 without any changes, you'd have to look specifically at the 83 wiring diagram to see if there are any differences in the wiring to an 84-89 TCI. Me

    Look at the #2 carb, if the vacuum line to the boost sensor comes from the intake boot, they are 84 and up carbs. If the vacuum line comes off of the upper throat (above the butterfly) of the carb, then they're 83 carbs. On the TCI, 26H is 83, 41R is 84 and up.

    How Long??

    Picked up my 84 in the fall of 06 (4 years now!) joined here in the spring of 07 (just before Flyinfool) after meeting Millman37 at the local cycle joint, I chased him down after seeing his bike outside and he told me about this looney bin! Been crazy ever since!

    That just shows that he's REALLY feeling better now!

    Congratulations Gary, let the spoiling begin!

    Can you make a small bracket? Put a pic up here if you can (manage attachments) and we'll help you out.

    Inside the left cover of the 1st gens is a sticker that reads "Regular leaded- Research 90 Octane" for fuel usage....... I'm just sayin' The only engines out there totally designed for ethanol are the Indy Racing League engines designed by Honda

    You need to get the Warden to give you a shove-off on Brown Sugar or Ugly and get out for a ride, Dan. All this sitting around is NOT doing you any good! I've never had and never will get a flu shot. Kinda like going up to the baddest dude in the bar and kissing his girlfriend.......... Sure not gonna happen around here! I'll still get my one flu episode each fall, but i need to take a break every once in awhile!

    Hey Lewis, sorry so long for the reply. Since you'll be getting gaskets anyway for the whole engine, your cost would be $280 complete. Just need to send me the old rotor with the starter clutch still on it, theres a thin washer between it and the rotor I have to have to re-install. You'll get the new clutch and a new 72 tooth gear back in a nice package for direct bolt-on when you're ready. If you want to do it, give me a couple of weeks notice so I can have the parts on hand.

    That Kawi is the first bike I bought when I turned 18, kind of a stupid choice now that I've had some time to think about it......

    Then it cain't be runnin' TOO awful bad (for a second gen anyway!)
  13. Dano
    Make sure you're not running too low an RPM in the upper gears, these motors don't like it too much with heavy throttle and high load below 3500. Good luck on the help for the synch, if'n I was closer I'd help you out. Order the Morgan Carbtune, the instructions are pretty easy to follow, but you'll need a REALLY long screwdriver to do the synch.

    Lewis, if you're interested in fixing the starter clutch for the LAST time, PM me if you're interested in the mod. Squeeze developed it a couple of years ago, it handles everything up to a bored out 1600cc VMAX motor. I handle the mods for him here in the Americas. You can replace it with a new standard clutch, but it'll go bad in a few years at most and then you'll have to do it again. Dano

    Pull your plugs and check them, you could be running on only 3 cylinders, especially if it won't go over 80-90 mph. How long has it been sitting? Run a couple of cans of Seafoam thru it over a couple of tanks of gas, that'll help clean the carbs out. Other thing to do is to start it up and immediately feel the exhaust pipes up where they exit the motor. A cold one will show you a dead cylinder. You should do this within the first 5 or 10 seconds, after that they'll get too hot to touch.

    The 1st gen will run up to about 8200 quite easily, that's about the max for this spring/valve combination. Mine pulls steadily all the way up there. Wouldn't do it all the time, but it's fun every once in awhile!

    I was possessed

    Dano replied to Marcarl's topic in Trailer Talk

    Nice go there Carl, thanks for that lesson in how to correctly build a lift. It'll save me a LOT of time and $$ if I put one up in the shed! I'm just glad Marca came out of this one without a scar!

    But, our grass IS greener down here!! That is,,,, as long as we water it!!!

    Phew, I thought for a moment there we heading down the wrong road!!:rotfl:

    Get with Pegscraper, as he has done the most to his RSTD to get her to get up and run. I believe the last thing he did was to swap out the tranny to a MKI unit.
  21. Dano
    Heck, put me down for a set for the 87, they'll probably be ready when I go to work on it again this winter....... If I don't get to it this year, at least they'll be there next year!!
  22. Dano
    I also use the 5 way flat, there is a flat plug holder which is magnetic and I stick that on the side of my hitch.
  23. Dano
    So then explain to me on the MKI's regulator/rectifier why the brown lead from there goes directly to the fuse block to feed the lights, ignition system and accesories without going thru the battery first. If you need to look at the diagram, it's available as a PDF file under the first gen tech section. Also, if what you are saying is true, then why do they offer different amperage alternators for cars? Why do they not just upsize the capacity of the battery? The batterys job is to start the vehicle, act as a "shock absorber" to the system. You described this yourself when you told us about your load tests. If the battery carries everything, why do they have APUs on the aircraft then? Also stated in your recourse is that you "deep cycle" your batteries. Your systems on the aircraft in no way pertain to the systems on these bikes.

    Need a pic and trace the wires out and let us know where they hook up to.......

    Gotta agree with the Goose on this one, being an electrician for over 30 years teaches you a couple of things. Just like two football players across the line from each other, the one with the stronger force will always carry the load.
