    Installed an ignition advancer

    I've been having some problems with the bike running rich since I bought it. I figured out the previous owner had installed a jet kit and before he traded it in swapped back to the stock parts leaving the jet kit.

    The bike would really stumble below 3k, it needed no choke to start up on cold days and I was only getting like 35mpg.

    I installed the slip on and it got better so it got me to thinking that it must have a jet kit so I ordered an ignition advancer from Dale Walker.

    I got it installed last night and finally found some Mobil 1 MX4t oil around so I changed to that also. Put on my gear and went for a ride.

    WOW the bike runs sooo much better, so much smoother, starts up easier and is just all around a better bike. I wish I would have done the advancer sooner.

    It only took like 10mins to install. Once I took off the cover I could see reminents of the RTV that the previous owner used when swapping back to stock.

        I just got back from the local bike night, they had a dyno so I jumped in line to get a run in.

        It came in at 67.3hp and 39 ft/lb. I will post the graph tomorrow when I get access to a scanner.

        It was still running pretty rich. Made a nice black cloud of smoke after he let off.

        I got a ton of compliments on the bike that night and the dyno operator couldnt stop talking about how comfy it was. Of course I had to pimp Kat riders

              You should drill out the brass plugs and adjust the air fuel mixture on the carbs if you haven't done so yet. Mine used to pop on decceleration all the time until the carbs were adjusted.

                I havent touched the carbs yet, I believe the previous owner put a jet kit in it but havent confirmed it. its supposed to rain all weekend so maybe I'll yank off the carbs and check em out
