This has been a while and I want to give an update. After sending in my engine to Heidentuning and getting it back with a "all good" reply and a few days of running "ok" and after that another summer wasted on a engine that won't run properly (and never has), I discovered XS-Laden in Bavaria and...
Hi. I am from Berlin Germany and will be travelling to Los Angeles in a few weeks and was wondering if you guys can recommend any good shops with serious protective gear (mainly leatherjackets) in LA? So far, JC Motors looks good. I am specially interested in trying on a VANSON jacket but every...
sorry for getting back so late: we recieved the engine, built it back in the frame ... and it works fine since then ! we changed nothing on the cables / electrics and heidentuning told me, they also changed nothing. it's a miracle haha. the one thing i realized is, that it starts better without...
i am running a 26 oz (750 gramms) rotor that comes with the only system by powerdynamo suitable for a 277° rephased engine.
and i run a battery but it is only for the lights. but i might try the earlier mentioned converter to add the battery power to the ignition. would make sense right?
it is hard to start - sometimes i kick at least 10 times, then wait, suddenly it would start. then idle runs really poor but when i go faster the bike runs ok ... at least on the right zylinder.
we sent the engine back to holland to have it checked again by heidentuning - all fine.
so i got the spark exhaust now and we will rewire everything next week.
does anyone here use the PAMCO rephased 277° version with a bigbore? the system costs only half of the price that the powerdynamo...
Oh man of course those are Mikuni carbs, sorry for mixing this up. How did I come up with Keihin? It was late :)
Yes, we switched the spark plugs once - same problem. Funny thing is that everyone "involved" in the bike says it is another problem but not from his side: Heidentuning says the...
ok cool, thanks for the spark plug hint. exhaust: i ran a set of supertrapps before the upgrade to 750. now i am thinking of getting me a set of SPARK universals.
throttle is fine. but yes, I guess I have to rebuild all cables from scratch. again. I mean the cable tree is all brand new but I am pretty sure that the problem is hidden there. The guys from powerdynamo will run tests with all parts so I can be sure that there is no failure hidden there –...
Thanks for your suggestions. I've got the longer straight original K&N filters for more air intake since the updrade. The Carbs are brand new, directly ordered here in Germany ( I am located in Berlin ) and have run less than 200 km so far. The only thing that was not changed for new parts since...
Hi. I switched to a bigbore kit 750 rephased with a Powerdynamo ignition system, all done by Heidentuning in Holland. Since then, I have the problem, that the engine runs poor in idle (right zylinder runs good, left zylinder runs bad) and it backfires with smoke from the right carb (open...
