  1. Looks to me like the blue linkage needs to be closer to parallel with the ground and the mount on the swingarm should be higher. As the swingarm moves up, the triangle will move counterclockwise compressing the shock

  3. Might have something to do with the dot head. From memory the valves are slightly longer so maybe the cam locations are slightly higher. Ive never done a dot head but plenty here have. 

    Maybe you could machine down the cam chain roller spacers

  4. Good idea. I'll check that out.

    Wound them out only 1/4 from 'close' and she's idling very nicely. Went for a ride and power comes on linear and pulls very hard.

    Also starts first go with a bit of choke only. With the 17.5 pilot jets, it was  was a bit stubborn to start. Way better now.

  5. Been trying to fine tune my 711 Slingshot as its been running rich at idle. Floats are all set at 17mm.  With 17.5 pilot jets, even with the screws 1/4 turn out, still ran rich on idle. Change the pilot jets to 15's and am getting a good idle at 1/2 turn out. As I was trying to find the sweet spot, I decided to wind them all the way in and the bike still idled, not as good as 1/2 turns out but still idled. I contacted mikunioz to shed some light as I've never come across this before. Anyone here experienced this?

  6. I've got the later bpf type which where a little more tricky than the earlier 1000 forks. From memory had something to do with the top steering head bearing but in general, not difficult. Need to make a steering stop also

  7. A lot of US high performance car parts are made in China and have proven to be on par with US made. They have the latest and greatest manufacturing technology that embarrasses the rest of the word. Bottom line it comes down to quality control. They can and will make anything you want, good, mediocre or shit.

    They do, but they're shorter and lower compression. Perfect for turbo builds, useless for NA builds.

    I have busa rods in my 1277 na engine. Better rod/stroke ratio, less sidewall loading, better torque, better for high rpm, piston spend more time at TDC,
