Nah! They needed something lawnmower speed...

Yup, stator, transmission, all the chrome covers, and the valve covers so 1st gen owners can add chrome fake covers...

I looked at 11 but everybody was snoozing...

POOF!!!

Hey, Ace is the place!! Good find, is the clutch lever any stiffer now??

Heh! Jeff and I were typing together!!

The tach is fired by the TCI, number 2 cylinder if I remember. I would suspect the TCI or the vacuum advance being defective. The TCI is different for the '83 and can only be used on the '83. The vacuum sensor is under the battery under the coils next to the TCI. I would highly recommend updating your TCI with an ignitech unit available from member Dingy if the TCI proves out to be the failure. Check the pickup coils and all electrical connections to it and the TCI as well as the vacuum line to the sensor...

Oy Vey! Post Labor Day here comes the SN** blues already???

There is also the possibility that it is time for a valve adjustment...

So that's what mine would have looked like if I didn't talk them into the custom paint job!! Now get out and enjoy!!!!!

Dunlop e-3's for great treadwear, the best out there!

And we learned this because???

Nice find Brian!!!!!

Sad to hear that. Prayers for your friend!

Let the work...errr...fun begin!!!

Fantastic Gary!!!!!

Jeff is correct! The problem with higher output stators is with more power, more heat is generated. Heat is the enemy of insulation on the wires which is the main source of failure, the windings either shorting out to each other or to ground...

Contact Earl, Skydoc_17 who makes them. Shipping to the UK might be pricey but maybe shipping via Canada may be cheaper. Earl could ship them to me and I could take them to Canada and have them shipped there if it is cheaper...

Here ya go, straight from our "Read Only" tech library... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=508 and this... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2922

I want one!!! http://www.chonday.com/Videos/bikenotip2

Angel, make sure you are using an JIS tip on the screwdriver!!! The angles are different on Japan Industrial Standard screws and if you use an SAE tip you will strip out the screw head!! Harbor freight sells a nice set of JIS impact screwdrivers...

Yup, either an exhaust leak or plugged up AIS system...

Cheaper better faster (choose anything not beginning with B)...

Yes! Think centrifugal force and the fact the sensor is in the front...

What Jeff said!! I've been watching this thread and I too am wondering how the tests came out yesterday! Best wishes and prayers for you my good friend the world is a better place with you in it!
