The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
I completed the bike yesterday but was so tired I decided to wait until today to attempt to start it so I could be alert in case any issues popped up. As the soon to be posted video will show, it took me about 8 kicks to start her. I didn't think about the idle speed screw not being in far enough to actually run the bike. I cracked the throttle a bit and she sprang to life in two kicks. Duh.
After adjusting the idle speed screw she idled perfectly. It sounds crisp and the throttle response confirmed it. I'm running the jetting that Ron supplied (M152, PJ40, CEK - 3rd clip, 7/8 screw) but it still seems a bit rich to me right now but I'll see about that later.
Next up I started to adjust the Dyna Ring. I found out from before that I like adjusting it with the bike running. Anyways, it works much better now that I added the 6 tungsten carbide balls to it. It starts pulling hard almost immediately and feels like it locks up at much lower RPM's. It actually lifts the front end with ease were before it was impossible. I'm feeling very happy with how it works at the moment. Once I get a ride in I'll know for sure. BTW, I didn't install the EBC clutch springs as the place I bought them from sent me ones for a KX80/100 (anybody need a set cheap?). If I'm not happy with the Dyna after a ride I will try them then. Unfortunately, there is some bad attached to the Dyna. As a result of the preload needed on the clutch cable I have now broken my second clutch cover and it was in the very same spot! The mounting tab nearest the sight glass. I think the cover is fine with just the preload but when you pull the clutch lever to override the Dyna it is just too much on it. Instead of buying another one I am having a local guy weld it and beef the cover in that area. He said it will be ready tomorrow and all for $20!
That's it for now. I'll be going riding this weekend, hopefully, and I'll report back then.
