  1. That sort of boost pressure is in the no-mans land for pumps - its too high for normal hi pressure carb type pumps (that normally top out @ about 10psi) and too low for a EFI pump as although perfectly capable, you'll be bypassing most of the flow back to the tank. This is of course assuming you are using blow through carbs and not EFI . . . . . . in which case most EFI pumps will do 3 bar + 1 bar boost.

    Red to the battery, the Orange is the live for everything else

    Orange normally to Ign Sw. then to fusebox so everything can be turned off - bare basic looms are great till something goes wrong and nothing can be isolated or turned off! And I wouldn't put Alternator output (orange) through a kill switch unless you want either a melted mess or a fire on your hands!

  3. I didn't think Ledar kits were available anymore after Leon died, but it seems someone bought the rights and the tooling and they are again in the market - check Eblag - I saw GS1000 kits being offered. I used a Ledar kit on a GSX750 back in the day - worked good and i've used multiple DJ kits on OC engines with great results - pays yer money and takes yer choice! (if available)

    Anyone have any ideas on how to set up the ignition plate on a Dyna 2000 as I want to check that also? The manual is vague. 

    I don't think they are vague - couldn't be clearer. Mount plate centred in the slots, then see photo, then check lines on rotor against the scale on the timing bracket. Adjust the plate to correct timing angle required. Very rarely to the pick-ups need moving on the plate as they are 180 deg. apart. When LED comes on, spark will occur. Oh and don't rotate engine with the cap head screw - it'll snap, many have tried and many have failed. For absolute accuracy a degree wheel and timing light is required but with a CO engine, you'll just get covered in oil from c/case opening beside oil pressure switch!

  5. If you want 'stripped down' - the basic custom loom contained somewhere in the vault is as good a place to start - copied below for reference.

    One advantage these days is wire size against current capacity has improved so loom bundles are physically smaller & lighter !

     they should be wired together in series. All the US models are. 

    I think you mean - wired in parallel. If wired in series each bulb filament would only get 6v power.

    Another thing to check is that if the bulbs are H4 halogen or the pissy weak 35/35w tungsten which were often fitted when dual lights used and these wouldn't have required a relay. If they are, then a wiring upgrade with relays and H4 bulbs would literally make a 'night & day' difference - just follow the coloured wire diagram.

  7. If it ran fine with pods, then its been jetted to suit and won't run good with an airbox - suspect its too rich, so unless you want to go down the re-jetting rabbit hole, i'd put pods back on as a start! Got to ask - why did he change a bike on loan from a mate and without asking?

    You can't defy the laws of physics. If you are moving the clutch actuator by the same amount by applying the same amount of movement at the lever, the fact you are using hydraulics only means you are removing the friction caused by the cable. 

    True, but as the lever ratio is likely to be different with hydraulics the pull could be quite changed - just see the feel differences with brakes and changed master bores!

  9. Bit light on the instructions and seems that its aimed at moto x, pit bikes, ATC's so use on a 'proper' bike may not function well!

    But for £15 who's going to give it a go . . . . . . oh and doesn't appear to have a bleed screw so maybe invest in a bleed screw banjo bolt also !

  10. 'Adapter rings' ? ? ? A picture would help. Surely you don't adapt a filter to match a pipe - you adapt the carb with DJ kit to work with pipe and filter.

    Generally for a pipe and K&N filter, a DJ stage 3 would be good as the filter airflow is not massively less than using twin pods.

     Looking at the photo, it looks like there's more unswept area than the extra 5mm you will gain by changing discs. 

    Have to agree with that statement - appears only inner third is 'shiny' and being used - outer 2/3rds is dull and un-used? What does the other / reverse side of disc look like as possibly caliper isn't square to disc?
