What i have been up to lately

[RT Performance]

Tessie is finally being put back togther.
Tomorrow will get the new voltage regulator installed.
I have to say the valve adjust is quite a bit of work.
New plugs since the motor was rotated they did look good for 10,000 miles.Fresh cleaning of the kn,Ride it moto levers and grips.
Hopefully Barker calls and i meet up with him for my packing.

So whats the deal with the valve adjust? Were you having problems or is it a mileage related maintenance procedure?

 

[RT Performance]

Milage related road 10,000 and the rotax uses followers and lash caps. i think the book actully calls for 13,000 but i wanted to do when i couldn't ride.(ps the follower locks are pictured wrong in the 09 manual for the intake)
All 4 intakes where tight and it would been easier if i had a full selection of shims.I honed mine since i couldn't get any with in a week

RT is the new regulator the roadstercycle one you where talking about in your other thread? Did you send the stator out to be redone too? These 2 mods I am very interested in!

 

[RT Performance]

Yes I got the stator from road cycle. I want to do it one step at a time.
I will do the regulator today.
I bought it with just the connector ends using the recall harness for stator connector.
After I get that done I will do a step by step pulling the stator.
Then send it to custom rewind.

 

[boreas]

sweet!! can't wait to see [up]

 

[Cataract2]

RT, where did you order your VR from again? How's it work if you've been able to test it?

I haven't had a chance to get it in yet and it's 30 degrees so no real test for another week.
I think I have everything to do it tonight.
Solider is a must on the connection.
I will get some photos as I do it. After I get it fired and it charges I am pulling the stator.
If it shows any signs of over heat I am sending it for a rewind

 

[Cataract2]

Has anyone before you used this?

 

[RT Performance]

Black flash put one on his bike and a few others on badweb.
They don't get hot like the stock ones do

 

[Cataract2]

Ok, is there a link to what they had to say about it available?
