This is my documenting my experience with the PAMCO installation from a newbie perspective...hoping that it helps others....I will be updating as I hit questions and hope that I can get answers and to a final state...aka...running with PAMCO.
First things first...1981 SH Heritage, mostly stock. Did valve adjustments, cam chain adjustments, checked timing and adjusted carbs in January. Just put on pods and rejected carbs....all was good.
Second...preparation....
1. Why PAMCO :: starting my bike was difficult at best. I read the the PAMCO upgrade was a reliable, quick start system.
2. I previously had to get into the clutch side to put tension on the wishbone spring as it was wearing out during the lengthy start process.
3. From reading others feedback and posts on this site, watching videos and reading the intsructions on 650central, it seemed like something a newbie (me) could do.
4. I PM'd pamcopete directly to ensure that I had my thinking right...he was very gracious in his response......so I ordered!
Next post pulling it out of the box.
