Wiring progress. Got a new connector to fill up for the microsquirt rather than depinning and redoing the original. Using a littelfuse...

Got some mail from Ivan today. As far as I know he is the only person selling high ratio primary gears and 270* crank pins. I have the...

That's why you buy a shim kit before you get into it. I bought one from hotcams, and now I just have to pull it out when needed. It's...

I've done adjustments on a ducati 748, triumph tiger 800xc, drz400sm, and multiple old bikes. The tiger 800 had 2 valve adjustments...

Pipes are coated, packed and mounted. I forget how much I hate packing a muffler until I do it again.

Made a degree wheel adapter. It's a bit longer installed than I thought, I'll shorten it if I need it again. Used it to finalize the...

Tiktok, Instagram and pintrest are popular because, if my inlaws are any indication, they fit with the short attention span that younger...

That's the plan. 36-1 trigger wheel on crank, single tooth cam wheel, both will use allegro ats627 gear tooth sensors for pickup...

Gotta give sendcutsend a thumbs up. Parts arrived well packed and to size.

I can see stopping the dreaded oil and tire posts, I'm pretty sure I see atleast 3 posts a week in the drz groups asking how to check...

Not the same thing but tuning my DRZ400 with a wideband I found the stock airbox on it highly restrictive. With an oem replacement K&N...

Yeah, I would agree the facebook groups seem more contentious than this forum. It seems atleast 1/3rd of the responses are negative...

Ok, I decided to move to a dual trigger setup for ignition. I have an extra microsquirt in a drawer so I'll use it for ignition only so...

Machinist groups are the very definition of toxic. Practicalmachinist would ban you from the forum if you asked about atlas machines...

I know some forums were sold, and the company that took over caused the decline. You can normally tell when the ownership change...

Some forums that were very busy 5 uears ago seem almost dead. Dotheton was always getting new posts and threads a few years ago, now...

Vapor blasted the side covers. I have to say that whatever black paint yamaha used in the letters is some tough stuff. It just...

A lot fewer/more expensive ignitions on the market for a rephase. The vape system is 2 pickups and 2 CDI boxes. Pamco used to be...

Sump filter is finished and mounted.

Sump filter progress. Need to get a filter, deburr and clean parts, and plug the end of the cross drilled hole.

I'd love something a little bigger and more rigid, but the $3k+ price has me keeping the atlas. But the atlas paired with the Induma 1s...

I've done a lot of different things with it. Definitely worth the $500 I paid almost 10 years ago.

I had an extra sump filter plate in a box, so I'm modifying it for a spin on filter. I know heiden and a few other offered one like it...

The UK gets stuff here faster than I expected.

Improved exhaust hanger is done. Exhaust is off getting coated. Biggest change is a set of carbs will be going on. The microsquirt...

Small update. Got a new side cover and oil pump, clearanced it for the high ratio primary. And I finally quit being lazy and made the...

Thanks for looking, it's appreciated.

Thanks, that would be helpful. A lot less parts on ebay than there was a few years ago.

Does anyone have a breaker plate they don't need? I'm wanting to try something for a rephase ignition that doesn't break the bank, but...
