Oh, to be jobless like that...

Mine was one. Maybe that's why it went all the way to 6th oversize.

Pankaj: Sanpada.

Cheif: when you back? Doc's in town. Let's get together some evening.

Welcome Pankaj. Next time you see a green RD ridden by a padded jacket with legs, say hello!

Thanks Ron, I will look into that as well. For the first time, I am riding my bike in all weather without the slightest doubt about the electricals. My only nagging problem remains dirt in the carbs through the fuel lines. Prizm got me a couple of oversized fuel filters. Lets see how that works out ...

Wiring harness is the usual RX-modified job, using RX switchgear. They aren't the best in wet weather, but rebuildable and sturdy.

Now that you mention it, I also replaced the Y-boot, which was cracked in more places that I expected

Update: Something just wasn't right. Most likely culprits were the TKRs. Dumped them, put in Arts, hone, sandblast blocks and heads and go. It has been over 350km since. Bike has settled down perfectly. Jetting is spot on, with just a hint of richness. Engine can now be touched even after an hour of ...

Thanks for the advice. Based on what I'm experiencing, your jetting tips sound about right. However, since I'm ok upto the midrange right now, I will keep the jets as they are and fine-tune later. Plugs look ok with that thin white like around the electrode as you mentioned before. I am riding ...

Amen. Jetting is a bitch, and I fully expected it to be when I made my choices. For the record: the K&N stock-replacement air filter does not flow as much as dual UNIs (I rode Derek's bike for a year), nor does it give you that sharp throttle response. All it does is let you run your Y-boot and ...

The post was meant to be positive. As I mentioned, it was my mistake in ordering the jets. I'm running the stock airbox with a stock-replacement K&N (much as this is taboo here) as a personal choice. My jetting guesses were bound to be out of whack. Anyway, it's always nice to have a couple of high ...

Update: Turns out I was way off on my order for jets. I'm using what looks like several sizes lower than Ron's 200s, and am still filthy rich. Rode a fluttering slug at below 3k for 40km all the way to the garage. Very conservative (18 degree) timing was making the bike that much more sluggish, so ...

Right after the jetting is done Gerard. And no comments about the colour

I figured as much, recalling the other customer feedback about the clean burn using the digital CDI. I have since turned the oilpump down a bit.

Disclaimer: 1. Jetting far from dialed-in. 2. Bike currently running in Ok, now that it's out of the way, here goes. Bike was started and run around a bit on the static CDI. No issues. I have never had my bike (or another) idle like it does now. Finally switched to digital CDI. It really is as ...

A bit premature perhaps, but I thought I'd share anyway. On Friday, my long-dead RD was fired up with a top/bottom rebuilt engine. This was not in my presence, but I am told that the basic wiring was done, CDI installed and kicked. First kick it fired up perfect. Using plugs that are over a year old ...

Welcome KD. You have sealed your fate here on RDD. I'm starting to keep count of the panty-related comments to your posts

Vampire: Yes, this is the same Rahul. We met for the first time recently at my local pump, though we knew about each other through the pump-wallahs over the years. Funny aint it? Welcome Rahul, and I hope you will join us on our next ride when I too am hopefully awake.
