    Another ignition question

    Well I think I rectified my charging problem 🙂 I redid a lot of my wiring, I was apparently in a hurry to get it running and never went back to clean anything up. Went through everything, Finally came to the conclusion that I did something to the vr115 regulator. Thanks Five twins for...

    This is with a .0035 guage The .002 slaps right to it. I have the steel extended shifter and it actually magnetized it as well. Maybe that’s not a good thing ?

    Another ignition question

    I’m using a jeep regulator, Still hitting 13.6 max even over3000 rpm I hooked up my old regular, the original adjustable one , I’m pretty sure I have it set close to max, but still get the same readings. The brushes still should be good , but I’ll switch them out next and see what happens.

    Another ignition question

    I think I got it. Seems it was a combination of things. Bad plug wire, A bunch of crap in my tank. Clogging the screw. Fuel filter was flowing enough, And some gunk in my pilots Seems to be running good Now. See how long it lasts 🙂

    Another ignition question

    The battery is about as old as the other parts mentioned . Charging at 2k is about 13.6v or so With the ignition on I’m getting 12.6 volts at each orange coil wire. I can’t get it to start again to find anything else out. I think I have another set of points still . I’ll try swapping...

    Another ignition question

    Hi again, I have another question about my ignition 79 special, stock ignition , points etc. It started having a slight cutout on me when I was riding, Now it’s worse, It was sitting at idle and it would just cut out occasionally like 1cylinder wasn’t firing. Then it got worse to where it...

    First start after rebuild

    Haven’t done much on this and I’ve barely been riding, Too busy and too hot lately. Managed to get 13.5inch triumph shocks mounted. They made a huge difference in the ride. Dropped my rear sprocket from 34 to 33. Seems to have dropped 55 mph rpm from 4200rpm or so to 3900 rpm Definitely...

    First start after rebuild

    Finally got back to work on it this week, Turns out my left coil wasn’t working very well. Switched it out with another one, tomorrow I’ll see if that clears up the difference in how the plugs look. Had it out for a few minutes, it definitely made a big difference in how it runs.

    That’s the longest and farthest away from the house I’ve gotten it so far. I’ve been trying to stay within pushing distance, just in case.

    First start after rebuild

    Got the bike out for a 3 hr ride with my buddy that has a klr. Surprisingly I think the xs actually did better on the mountain roads. Granted my buddy has only been off-road a handful of times. On the road they seem to be pretty even as far as acceleration. Higher top speed on the xs though...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - Working speedometer.

    Actually, it would work. I actually bought a whole cluster off eBay from an 80s model, same speedo . It works , the miles actually tick which mine didn’t. I mainly wanted that for tracking my mileage. I’ll be in touch if this one gives out though, Thank you
