boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Would this kill my powerband in any horrible way? Also I've seen people put bandit carbs on this bike. That a good idea? how about bst38ss carbs? Give the blue dragon a little moar juice. I know I know if the ports arent matched then bigger carbs only do so much...

boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 What is the clutch supposed to be a hard pull? I honestly hadn't noticed. Quote

Bigkenxx Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I shortened my clutch lever just because I can 2 Quote
boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I grew up on clutch dirt bikes and quads ever since about 7 or 8. Several years of serious fat kid motocross. on 250 2 strokes winning the C class at 14. Practicing every tuesday and thursday. Back in the 90s when people had sweet backyard tracks everywhere. And then on to street bikes in my 20s and now im 33. My clutch hand is good. Edited June 20, 2017 by boilerdude 1 Quote
Dorkburger Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Something sounds a bit off unless it's the camera. I tried uploading a clip of mine, but can't seem to do it from Photobucket. Edited June 20, 2017 by Dorkburger Quote

boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 you mean like the slight stumble. It's dead cold. and its not a constant miss. I figure maybe plugs or something. If its the rattle theres a rattle coming from muffler area. Quote
boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 also header gasket thingies I pretty sure it needs. So a little ticky. Quote
Dorkburger Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Yeah, I may have to load it to YouTube. The bike is a good looker for sure. Those pesky little covers over the dash cover screw that seem to easily fall out are available from Suzuki for a few bucks. Link fixed. Mine was done from 10' away. Someone was asking about the noise level. I was getting rough sound measurements with my phones sound meter app. Quote
boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 yea the video still wont work only can see the images to the left and right of it Quote
Dorkburger Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Heck, I dont know. I can see it from my tablet and phone by ckicking the link. Ill check into it later. Quote
boilerdude Posted June 20, 2017 Author Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Do you mean the quietness. like it sounds too quiet. muffled I dont want it to be sidewinder loud but yea I was expecting a little more BOOM than that. Edited June 20, 2017 by boilerdude Quote
Gammaboy Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Open the can and have a look - someone may have stuffed some kind of DB killer in it. Quote

boilerdude Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 ya that just kinda sounds like a suzuki to me. I just think it needs louder. Quote
Dorkburger Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 It's just where I like it - not too loud, but sounds good. That was after repacking it. Interestingly, packing it (previously no wrap inside) didn't change the sound level much, but changed the sound a bit. It previously had a more metallic-esque ring to it. When rolling out at 11 or 12 at night, quieter is better. Quote
boilerdude Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 Nah im out in the country. Loud is acceptible. 1 Quote
Dorkburger Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Nice. Some I4 noise to offset the v twins is fine in my book. I live on a corner in a smallish town. Whenever a V twin rolls to the stop, I do nothing, or ocassionally mock. When a sport bike rolls up, I'll drop what I'm doing and take a look. I'm like a frikkin kid. 2 Quote
boilerdude Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 Also It needed another minute for the fresh oil to get circulating. it was even quieter yet the next time I fired it up. The oil that came out of this thing was old. I didn't find anything bad coming out with it. but it was black and burnt smelling... Fresh oil and filter. I havent even ridden the bike since I changed it. Just fired the bike up a few times . And the brand new oil is black again already. That oil filter is a royal bitch btw. Quote
