So, finally finished my carb rebuild and reassembly onto the bike. A few too many explicatives resulted from trying to get the throttle cables back on. With the help of all the resources here, I was able to work my way through removing, disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, replacing a few parts, reassembling, and reattaching to the bike. Yesterday, I picked up some vacuum line and a 5-port junction to check the sync tool I have. It was originally designed for my dad's old Honda CB750 with some unique attachments and a bunch of indicators on the gauges, rather than actual numerical vacuum levels. With the junction, I hooked up all four gauges to #1 port and they were all right on. So, proceeded to hooking up to all four cylinders. I spent a good 20 minutes with a fan on the bike, getting things adjusted. Things fell into place a lot faster after I opened up the 4 idle adjustment screws another half turn - they were originally all open 2 1/2 turns during reassembly. They were all over the map when I started, but got all 4 lined up very well. I initially set it right around 1000 rpm, and then checked and tweaked things around 2000 and then again at 3000 rpm. They remain well synced at all three levels now. Granted, this is not the same fuel flow/load as actual riding conditions. On my test ride, I noticed that things were more sluggish than usual, and it doesn't seem to have the same level of "snot" that it used to. It's slow to respond to medium or hard acceleration. It doesn't ever "bog down," so to speak, but just not as responsive as it should be. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a little disappointed with myself that it was more responsive with 1 main jet completely plugged and 2 others about 20% plugged Thanks much in advance! -
Oil leaking from right exhaust pipe
rcijr posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Hi all, I have a 2005 RSV that started leaking oil from the right exhaust pipe today. It's been sluggish on occasion until the bike gets warmed up. Today it seemed extra sluggish and doggy starting from a stop sign. I parked it in the garage, went in the house for a half hour or so and came out to see a 4" by 2" puddle of oil on the floor underneath the right pipe. Any ideas on what it could be? I'm under warranty until 2/2011. I use Rotella synthetic and purolator pure one filter. Will these cause me any issues for warranty work if I bring it in? Thanks
