First let me say Gary/Dingy sorry I missed you on Friday would have been great to finally meet you in person, my work schedule just wouldn't allow me to attend Friday. What we had were some V-maxer's from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, & Ohio with a flavor of both gen-1 & gen-2 bikes and free open...

Sean, I may have some interest in the 1445cc, could you provide me finished bore diameter and stroke of the cylinders? Thanks! Damon

Blaxmax, CAUTION, CAUTION, I've read & always been told NEVER re-gap Iridium plugs! You run the risk of removing the Iridium coating.

To the best of my knowledge: All oil is filtered other than what is discarded by means of the oil pump bypass valve (>63PSI on a stock pump). The other un-filtered oil is any oil that maybe bypassed via the internal bypass function of the filter it self (generally >58PSI). My understanding of...

The two middle pipes on the oil manifold, one is restricted due to fact it only has to feed oil to crank journal #3. The other middle pipe feeds crank journal #2 & continues up to the cylinder head oil circuit. Un-like #1 & #4 that feed crank journals, crank pins, rods, water pump bearing...

I have a set like that that was given to me many years ago, my have the changeable type jaws, pliers, wrench & pipe/tubing cutters.

Each of the rear pipes are connected to a short exhaust manifold @ the rear head ports, that has somewhat of a swivel type gasket & tension clamp where the pipe meets the short exhaust manifold. You might be able to slightly loosen the tension clamp position your pipe into the muffler then...

I will try to describe a method I have been using to sync my V-gas system at two different RPM levels that seems to work very well. First understand that carburetors #1 & #2 are a mechanically linked pair, also carburetors #3 & #4 are a mechanically link pair. What I will call the master from...

Possible causes; float level too high? main needle & jet seat are warn? If you are using aftermarket needles check the clip settings?

Did you connect the ground cable on the RT-side of the new engine? Located @ the 6MM case bolt just behind/to the right of the oil fill cap?

I like the color of them not to lean at all, I wish I could keep mine looking that good!

My assumption would be the service manual wants you to be at a known cam position vs. a subjected lobes up. Lobes up could be different if say I eyeball lobes up then someone else uses a different angle of lobes up that may put them into the start of cam profiles?

I had this happen to me once were one cylinder would not read vacuum, it turned out to be a spilt hose for the one channel on the vacuum meter. I chased my *** for a few days on that one! Try to mix-up the hook-up of the hoses to see if the issue moves to a different cylinder? Update now that I...

That engine was under development a few years back, if I remember correctly it uses a push rod type valve train.

Wayne, That is a four brush type starter.

This might be the Dale Walker switch? If so the 1st position is for stock V-boost, 2nd position is for no V-boost, 3rd position is for full time V-boost.

If this is related to just one of the four cylinders then you might have a stuck float and/or a lose cap screw on the back side of that needle jet?

Are you referring to the washer that goes behind the tuning fork emblem on the stator cover? That is about 2"dia. & has a shoulder stamped area around the ID of the washer? This is to assist with cooling of the stator & cover. *If so you can re-install without having to remove the stator cover...

Hey Lee, Mid 11's is a very good unless you are a pro or you have many 1/4 mile passes under your belt. As to the 60' time, what is the rear tire PSI? I've had to run mine as low as 12~15lbs. to get any type of a good hook-up. Keep up the good work!

Biker Dash, The hex portion of the flywheel is 32mm, you will need a 32mm box type wrench or as others have stated use a impact wrench for the removal only. My personal preference is to also use the 32mm box wrench as a hold-back while re-installing to gain proper torque.
