I took my bike down on Superbowl Sunday this year. I got sick and finally got healthy this week (mostly).
This set of work is done (more to come), and the beast is a banshee now. I thought this beast was screamin before I worked on it....
Work completed:
- remove, disassemble and clean carbs in ultrasonic bath
- rejet all carbs (idle and main)
- replaced all float needles
- found a vac leak on EVERY carb at the base of the intake runners (bad orings)
- carb balance (thanks again, BonS). All carbs numbers now change at the same time.
- remove broken CB radio and wiring and antennae
- partial desmog
- adjusted valves to spec
- coolant change from old rust to new green
Still need to complete:
- adjust idle pilot screw
- finish desmog (pair valves already removed, just need to remove pipes and block off ports)
- service controls
- rear end service
- rewire driving lights
- move choke controls off the handlebars
- move Neutral / Turn / High Beam indicators off headlight housing
- replace headlight housing with VTX style housing
- change all lighting to LED
- build or machine new LED turn signal indicators to replace lollipops on front
it only gets better...
