Helouu and weelcoome

Have to admit that when I got my baby (confession) I was scared to death

But the rattle has faithed away after changing oil and filter and adjusting idle...
I love the purring sound noww

Hope U get it fixed

Nice looking one Btw

 

Well. I did change the oil and filter. And the idle is perfect. I think. I want to take her to work but I'm rather worried, its a 35 mile run and mostly highway.

 

Well my idle was low on neutral. And still when I give tourqe then it gets a bit lower than 1 for a while and after around 3 to 5 sec it rises to steady idle.

I go to work every day. And have no problems.

U can do as I did... make a video of cold start engine running and a warmed up vid. Post on youtube and then links here. U can see my vids aswell.

There are really amazing knowledged companions here!

ya, im going to do that tomorrow. thanks for the advice

 

If the bike is otherwise roadworthy and with the weekend coming up. Take it out for a shakedown cruise. I wouldn't push her too hard. Just get a feel for her and make sure you have someone to come get you if things go south

 

I wish I could this weekend, but I'll be in west Lafayette seeing my girl. (Much needed) but ya I was thinking of.doing that. Taking here down Lagrange (a road by my.house that has a speed limit of 55 and is like a small highway through a forest preserve) and my bro just picked a new silverado today so I can put it in his truck if need be. And I will record the cold start and warm start as well. Thank you everyone for the advice and help. I truly do appreciate it. If I ever become a millionaire, (hopefully :-P ) I wot forget the help lol.

 

Good luck. Mines a bit noisy as well and sprock suggested a carb sync and a balancer shaft adjustment. Might be worth a try. Id still take her out and get a better feel for the bike first though.

 

20/50 weight oil and valve adjustments if ya really get bored and want the
smoothest ride possible

Obviously valves should be adjusted first

 

well i already changed the oil 20/50 and filter. and she did sound a little better but still kind of rough. but i noticed that when i **** she does this really nice low tone growl which i love. and as for the valve adjustments and carb sync and clean, well im mechanically inclined but not at that level and i dont have any of the proper tools for such a project. i wish i had someone out in chicago to swing by and assist me. heck id even pay them for the help.
