    stewgnu, do you have the mistral cross over as well?

    My understanding as much performance and sound comes from the Xover as does the cans? Also, do you run a custom fuel map?

    Sorting out a multiple-owner 2003 LeMans

    Scud, I chased tuning issues a long time until I finally got Guzzidag going and found the previous owner had been messing with the CO trim.  I move it around a bit and eventually just put it back to zero.  Also, the bike is extremely sensitive to exhaust leaks.  I went with the machined metal bushings in the cross over to get everything sealed up.  the 3000 rpm hiccup finally left after that. If  I use ethanol gas it will pop once in a while.  With premium non ethanol it runs perfect.

     

    How did you set your sag up on the suspension?  I had my Sachs re built by race tech and haven't got around to adjusting it yet.

     

    Thanks and great work on that bike!

    Boiling rear brake fluid

    wow that is a really cool spring idea.  I will be on the lookout for a spring.  I think my problems may have started from my foot inadvertently hitting the pedal. 

     

    Havent heard of the intermittent pedal from heat only fade.  I would get new fluid in there asap, check for rotor warpage, check master cylinder for return etc.

     

    The spring idea is the best Ive seen in a long time!  kudos!  

    Boiling rear brake fluid

    mine was a pain the but also. 

     

    First I check the rotor with a dial guage set up on it.  It was about .005 out.  I marked it and massaged it with a large crescent wrench and got it within .002   (Do this at your own risk....I saw some youtube videos on this)

     

    Then I just took it off, cleaned it up really well.  Lubricated the sides of the pistons with a tiny little bit of high temp brake pin grease from NAPA.  Then I bent the keeper spring until it was almost flat so that it would impart more pressure on the pins/pads. (do this at your own risk..I have never read about this but had to try something).   Then I put the same grease on the pins and the holes in the pads with a small paint brush. 

     

    Then I replaced with DOT4 fluid which the manual calls for...I think its high temp.  I wired the caliper up as high on the bike as I could so the nipple was facing up and bled it a lot with an old brake pad stuck in the caliper to clamp on.  I used a vacuum bleeder then finished it off with the pedal. 

     

    So far so good.  I have always had problems with the rear pads dragging and heating up the rotor.

    which KAOKO throttle lock?

    in 24/7 V11

    Posted

    Does anyone know what KAOKO throttle lock fits the 2004 lemans?

     

    Or if not, does anyone know the inside threaded diameter/size of the handlebar is?

     

    Im seeing lots of options on Twisted Throttle but not specifically for lemans.

     

    Thanks
