I uploaded all on photobucket...this one is recent, its still lot o work on it, but this devil aspect attracts me more that the other ones (you can see pics on this link http://s1073.photobucket.com/user/cr4k3rz/slideshow/ )

 

[Who Dat?]

..., a suicide shifter on right ...

THAT is going to be downright ... interesting. :-\\\

I have always seen shifters on the LEFT side of the bike.

Are you actually going to reach ACROSS the tank to shift while keeping your right hand on the throttle?

 

[cr4k3r]

Well...no, the shifter will be on the right side. So that will be no problem. I will think about this though, i have 2 options, the second one is without the shifter...and i would really like to have one, just for kicks.

This option wouldve been better with shifter...the first idk...because of the handlebars, i wont make them apes, i keep them as they are, so i think ill make a right shifter and put it on see how it goes on that.

The "demonic" one i think i like it more than this pic though. I can make it a shifter on right also...but i dont know how it looks.

Like it, not the. Same old stuff.

First startup after engine rebuild, compression test 11 - 11.4 - 12 - 13.5, i think the default compression ratio is 9.6. Either the rings are fresh or the compressmeter is busted.

Congratulations with getting it running and ride able! Much more work than I am willing to complete on a bike. The 700 is a US only bike. I'm sure there is a story here. I hope you have checked that the fuel mixture is not really lean with the mufflers removed. Thank you for posting here.

That must be VERY loud and annoying to people around you.

 

[cr4k3r]

It is a bit loud, but very pleasant sound. When i ride in city i tend to change the gear earlier a bit so the sound stays at a limit. It's a rat, survival, or whatever Mad Max would think about it ...i planned it to make it loud and mean.

Cheers thanks for wathing and for replies !

 

[cr4k3r]

Hey guys i have a little "problem". It did happen before and i checked the timing right yesterday. It wont go over 8000 rpm and it stalls there with my throttle at 3/4 in 5 gear. If i pull the throttle more it starts to idle high, makes sounds like its at its higherst rpm. I should check the pulsar sensors if it makes any difference. I saw the 2-3 magnetic sensor on my pulsar its 1-2 mm off.

What do you say guys? I don't want to dissasamble everything for nothing.

BTW : Everything is clean, sparks, carbs (syncronized), etc. The only thing is that tiny sensor.

Thank you for your time !

I just looked over your posts and didn't see anything about re-jetting your carbs. From the pictures I can see you've got high-flow filters and virtually no exhaust. Between these to you are going to- be on a very lean fuel/air mix without new jets. Check out this thread for more info:

[cr4k3r]

So you are right. I run a bit lean, my sparks are white 80% and a bit of grey here and there. So the problem you think it is are my jets? I did 3 turns on my carb. a/f mixture screw (from above) because i was running leaner. I will check my pulsar also. What jets should i get? Should i just raise my niddle? I will test different things anyways with this. Thank you sir !

The most popular place seems to be http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits/. I have a Stage 3 jet kit on the way for my gs550 right now.

Ok, i made myself with a drill (did this things many times before) a 1.3 mm hole (main jet). The ratio of fuel is much greater than before...i took a ride along with a screwdriver for adjusting the a/f screw. I took it from 1 - the engine accelerate by itself and dies, at 2 the engine makes like before, at 2.5 like before but better acceleration, at 3 and 4 it starts to make like before at half throttle.

Should i lower the needle? My spark plugs are black now (before were white). Can someone tell me a good setup on these carbs with my main jet ? What should i try. Thank you !

BTW : found out what its called "bogging engine". It bogs, thats the word ...but my sparkplugs are black now.
