Previous discussions say sprockets for the displacement size bikes for that Amazon sprocket measure at 9.5mm.
It's like a big flange nut. There's an oval flange with two flat sides for the washer to bend against. The washer didn't extend to the outer hex part of the nut.
When I switch the ignition on I hear a priming of the pump. Question - if I had the other pump installed as well, would both of these prime on ignition or does the fuel harness switch only target one pump at a time?
LOL. I'm losin' it. If you've ever wondered at what age your brain is going to turn to mush, it's 64.
just installed rade garage aux fuel tank. no issues with install, but when I went to reinstall the seat there's a large gap between the seat and body panel/frame? Also seems like the seat is just laying on top of the tank. Can that support my husky 200lbs?
I reinstalled the stock seat support spacers and that will help fill the gap and provide support for the seat. It will also add support to the Rade aux tank as well.
My stock seat fits better than that. I'm wondering if the seat pan of your aftermarket seat is so different from the stock pan. You need to make sure the rear tank support bracket is oriented properly. The tank is molded with a recess to set on the bracket. If the tank is too far back, that recess won't ride on the support bracket properly and that will make the tank sit high. It doesn't look like your aftermarket seat has the rubber support bumpers/pads that would sit on the stock seat supports, so it wouldn't do you any good to modify them and reinstall them like you can for the stock seat.
I did the same. They took a little trimming but turned out well and the rubber bumpers/supports of the stock seat rest on them like they're supposed to. I only had 1 small spot of the seat pan that was contacting the tank, making the rubber support on one side stand off a little. Took a heat gun to that spot of the seat pan and dimpled it in a little, problem solved.
Thanks man. It's not everyday false neutrals, just noticeable enough given that no other bike has given me grief before. Perhaps I have been lucky over my riding career, the only non self-inflicted problem I have suffered from in 30 years of riding were the magnets falling off the inside of the starter motor on a GSXR750 a month after its warranty ran out.
No. The pump that primes is the one that is selected initially with the toggle. i.e. 1.Toggle in position No1 (let's say front tanks) 2. Turn key on. 3. Front pump primes. 4. Front pump stops. if you now play with the toggle, nothing will happen. The other pump will not prime since this is a sequence that the bike goes through when you turn the key only. Then > 1.Toggle in position No2 (let's say rear tanks) 2. Turn key on. 3. Rear pump primes. 4. Rear pump stops. Check complete. When riding, if you play with the toggle, the respective pump will operate. (since you are controlling the current flow). Hope that makes sense, D.
I figured as much. Ended up disconnecting it and pulling the harness clear so I could remove the clutch cover. Made sure not to have the key around so as not to have a brain fart.
Looking forward to your results. Took a good dirt nap on mine this past weekend. My fault, turned around at speed to look back to see where the two 500’s chasing me were at and when I turned back forward I was blowing a corner deep in 4th gear and staring at a field of saguaros and chollas and decided in .005 seconds it would be less painful to just throw it away and low side it and hope for the best and over the bars I went when the bike grabbed the edge of the mountain dirt road. Haven’t brought myself to wash the mud and dirt off the bike and assess the damage but it’s gonna cost me.... noticed the top of the front fender is wasted.. the top? Thinking she did some stunts on me while I was doing a full on Superman [emoji23]
I'd read that the Rekluse Radius X EXP ring for the 690 comes set up with the blue, medium engagement springs. That the 690s idle is just low enough that the EXP doesn't engage well off idle. The solution being, swap 3 of the blue for 3 of the red, low engagement springs. But I didn't remember that until after I started it and did the install gap setting and break-in procedure. Sure enough, I may have to go back in and do that. For now, I'm playing with decreasing the install gap to have just a very slight creep when idling in gear with the clutch lever out. That makes the free play gain at the clutch lever the max of what's recommended but it seems to be engaging smoother off idle, not so much of a sudden jerk as the EXP ring tries taking up a larger install gap as the RPMs come up off idle, like it was doing initially. I've only got an hour on it so far and only street riding. I'll keep an eye on it and see what I need to do, if anything, as it gets more time on it. But it feels like Rekluse and I know I'm going to love it on the 690, just like I do on my 300.
I have yet to change springs out on these from what they come with. Had no issues adjusting free play. That said, I’ve never put one on a 690 or larger.
