Re: Flat spot? sort of not anymore...

FYI - the Tace uses a different set of carbs than the FZR, which would explain the different pilot jets. I know because I have a set that I bought with the intent of mounting on my 87, but they would require much more work than the 91-95, so I went with that.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :smokin --><img...

Re: spluttering

I would say that if it's only noticable in the top end, it's probably fuel starvation. Redline in first gear is quick enough that a marginal condition would not show up. In the higher gears, the sustained high demand for fuel drops the fuel level to the point that it misfires from bieng lean.<!--EZC...

P.S.<br><br>I don't have an Exup, so I can be ignorant to some of the minor changes that occured after '88. I believe that it was posted by some that the exup oil pump is a two stage pump to run the oil cooler, so you will probably need to disconnect plumbing from the pump prior to removing it.<!--E...

Re: factory pro shift kit and flo-commander . . .

If you have a Yam shop manual, then open to the page where during motor assembly the shifter and oil pump are being installed. If you look at the shift drum, you'll notice the detent arm which has a torsion spring and a roller that rides on the pins of the shift drum detent cam. That torsion spring ...

Re: factory pro shift kit and flo-commander . . .

I've been running around with the factory pro shift kit for about 13 years and it makes the shifter a bit notchier and forces you to shift more completely. Saves wear and tear on the dogs and it's not cumbersome, just more positive feel in the shifter.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :8 --><img src=http://...

Re: Thanks

The Dude is right - the battery voltage plays a big role in keeping the pump going and the alternator from straining. Replacing it is a good idea.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

If you're interested in dabbling with Micros, you might consider buying an STK500 development board.

Re: Q about ignition advancers . . .

I have the bascom program and I like it. There is a pretty good support group too. I've thought about doing an ignitor, but that was a brief thought. I don't think that I would make a buck on it, and it would be quite a bit of effort, so I moved on to projects with more potential.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON...

Re: Interesting product

I heard of people mentioning it on the R1 forum. It's just a circuit that fools the ignitor into thinking that a motor is still moving the pot to its target position (measured voltage).

Re: valve stem oil seal replacement

the springs are fairly light, so you could use just muscle to compress them. When the piston is at tdc, there is very little room for the valve to drop. I've done it this way in the frame and it was a fairly painless process. Of course, I had to make a special tool that allowed me to compress and re...
