I removed the slotted disk, correct?
Do I spin the rotor by hand by putting a 10mm socket on the opposite side of the PAMCO? Do I turn the igntion key and run switch on to feed power to the PAMCO before doing so?
Thanks Pete, I appreciate that. I'd like to use Deutsch plugs for future builds.
The bike has plenty of gas :)
I had a feeling there was something more than just a spark. I think what you described is what is occurring. I'm going to attach a couple photos, as I do not 100% understand what...
Hope everyone had a great Christmas/New Year.
A few weeks ago, I came out to my bike to find one of my rear turn signals hanging by the rear wheel. Someone must have bumped the bike or something. Anyways, I took it to the fabricator to have them weld it back up there.
Shame on me and the...

Thanks everyone. Here's a link to a video that Fasthouse put together on my story with motorcycles. It's put together really well, and it has some cool riding clips with my build, Five-One.

Installed the new spacer I had made. Just under 2 mm longer. I'll post a pic later.
The inner spacer sits in the hub nice and snug now; and still the noise/clicking persists.
I'm totally baffled. I don't understand how this noise/clicking just came about randomly after 800 miles...
Been a while since I've posted. I've been meaning to upload a finished video of the bike. I finally got it jetted right. 32.5 pilot. Did the job.
Got the charging system all worked out. Hugh sent me a brand new PMA kit at no charge. The one I sent to him that came off my bike tested bad...
For those who haven't seen the other thread, the PMA is not charging the battery.
In the process of getting a new PMA kit from Hugh. All the good things I read about him are true. Reccomend his product over others anyday :thumbsup:
Been messing around with the jetting. I went up one...
Sorry for the late reply. The turn signals are from wrenchmonkees. I would not buy them again. I love them and I've yet to see anyone else use them. But when I was ordering I did not realize they were out of the US. Prices were in Euros, and the freight was insane. Way too much money on turn...
Thanks for the reply ippy. Yes I had recall reading somehwere what the values should be and that open was not correct.
I had originally emaliled Hugh about using the woodruff key, and he told me to leave it out. But now that I've seen the flywheel spin I want to install one.
I wonder if I...
Fired the bike up today after charging the battery. I tested for AC volts between the three yellow wires.
1-2: 2.09 AC
2-3: 2.01 AC
3-1: .32 AC
Hooked the wires back up to the reg/rec. Bike was at 13V at idle. (fresh from the charger) Reved to 2,500 RPM and the...
Findings so far.
10.45 V at battery. 10.45 through 20 amp fuse to one side of the key switch. Turn the key on, 10.42 at fuse block.
Turn on the run (kill switch) voltage at terminal on the coil, 9.4 .
Tested resistance between 2 terminals on the coil. 2.6 ohms.
Tested resistance between...
PMA was tested when it was installed. I have a meter, just not on me at the moment. It tested exactly as you described.
I'm aware of the necessity of a multimeter for proper diagnosis. When I stated 8-10 volts, I was merely using a "guesstimate" so I could get this thread rolling. Nevertheless...
Yeah I didn't think it did. Just describing the way I'm seeing it at the moment. But I'll get back to you with some findings with the multimeter. Kinda hard to diagnosis stuff like this without one.
All terminals and grounds are tight and clean
Some of you may have been following my build thread, "just another first build."
To sum it up real short. Rebuilt top end, custom wiring harness, hugh's PMA, PAMCO from Pete, dual output coil from Mikes XS, Shorai battery, kick and electric start.
Cam chain tension, valves, timing, and...
Brake stay after clear coat. I like it.
The controls after the new grips and mirror installed.
So I mounted the license plate using the horizontal rear axle mount. I can't stand it. It sticks SO far out, I don't see how you could lay the bike over at all without it catching the...
