yeah after putting it all back together after installing all new bearings and stuff it was smooth as a dream around town!! after putting a couple hundred miles on it i noticed its wandering characteristics around town so tonight im gunna do the bounce test and see where im at and then go from...

air pressure is good, 40psi front and rear, i may have tightend the head bearings to much:bang head: cause i had a high speed wobble and thought they needed to be tightened, im lacking a center stand so ill have to prop the front end up some other way, tires are good all the way around:biglaugh...

Well on my way to Texas i noticed everytime id hit a town and have to slow down the bike just felt like it wanted to fall over, the steering was just loose and heavy. it took way to much effort to drive in a straight line i couldnt seem to keep from weaving all over, the bike was never like this...

Sweet, actually im gunna being staying at my buddies house in texas for 7-8 days so ill get his address and see if you could send them there. Thanks, ill pm you his address:biglaugh: Jason

Well i guess thats part of my problem... what do you think about my double spring thing??? should i run it? until i get a jet kit form Sean im thinking it runs good enough to take my trip that im 5 days behind on now:bang head::bang head: I dont know anyone around here with stock parts or even...

Well i decided to double up my slide springs again(using a smaller spring and putting it inside my current springs) and see how it ran... and it was smooth all the way up to 5k with only a few pops, after 5k it kinda stumbled a bit but wasnt bad. Now i dont have much of a topend tho and it feels...

Okay so after talking to a yamaha mechanic, ive been told my needles arent stock(even tho they are non adjustable) they have Y299 stamped on them and according to yamaha mikuni only put letters on the stock needles. Which also leads me to believe that my springs probably arnt stock either. So...

okay cool, whew that worried me im having enough issues with it running right already i dont need another problem. Thanks jason

Well i checked the oil by holding the bike center with my hand and then looked at the site glass and oil was right at the top. The over revving is a possiblity:damn angry: while tuning and testing and having to skip 2nd gear which is not existent ive missed a few times. Havent done a leak down...

I wish i was on the road but my mids still wont clean up, checked the oil level its right at the top of the sight glass, but i dont think i got any gas past the rings. I even drilled the PAJ2 out just a hair more and im still fighting the mids to run smooth. jus tried shimming my airbox lid...

so i pulled my airbox lid to do some looking and testing.... and WTF!!!! oil in my airbox?? why??? i mean there was a good amount too probalby a 1/16th of an inch layered over the bottom. Also noticed my slides had an oily kinda film on them when i pulled them... what causes oil to get sucked...

Just my 2cents but a fella on this forum, went from a kerker 4-2-1 to marks 4-2-1 and made a 10hp gain!! this bike is bone stock too. I saw his dyno print out to prove it:biglaugh: very impressive in my opinion. Marks seems to get alot of good feedback. And after seeing that dyno paper im ready...

hmmmm small ride:biglaugh: Ill check on my route to Texas and see if im heading thru there on my way back, BTW what does going larger with the PAJ1 do fo ryou??? low end, mids??? thanks jason

Hmmm i like your setup, well ill probably put the 165 mains back in after my trip, but the 155s work fine for now, after drilling out a spare set of 170s for my PAJ2 drilled out to probably a 175.5 my midrange stumble is slowly getting better so im gunna drill them out just a hair more and see...

Well i jb welded the holes and redrilled new ones using a 3/32 drill bit, went for a ride and my mids still dont seem right, my bottom end definantly pulls harder but then my top end will actually stumble at 6k when i whack it. I get popping from teh exhaust when down shifting also. If i open...

Well actually after pulling the carbs apart the second time i checked all my jets and I made sure i had all the correct and stock jets. I still have the stock 37.5 in there:biglaugh: Since going larger on that jet what do you gain? 42.5 is a bit bigger than 37.5 just curious, now that ive played...
