Monster 750 2000
Finally after 3 months waiting on Adreani to supply the Misano Evo 2 kit to MH suspension I have them back fully serviced new bushes, seals etc , On the bike and wow immediate big improvement in handling, steering accuracy , and ride ,, I have a lot of experimenting to do with all the fully adjustable parameters ,,already reduced preload by one turn and only running 6/24 rebound and 8/24 clicks from minimum . Now the front end is as good as the Ohlins rear end . Bike is running pretty sweetly looks stunning ,,, might have a tiny flat spot at transition between 3000 -4000 rpm ??? Not sure could be paranoia or wind on my body LOL ...
May be time to order a set of new emulsion tubes and try them in the M750 and 750ss as on bike has 42k on the miles and the other 35k on mileage so the emulsion tubes might be worn ?????dunno
1991 750ss is running OK ish ,, its getting up to 120 mph quick and easy , and ticks over ok ish they are always lumpy below 2000rpm , but the plugs are sometimes black sooty and fouled when cold starting and cleaning them makes them work again ,, I think its valve guides as its not running that rich ???? may take the heads off and get Louighi moto to check them some time
I had to reduce the new clutch to only 6 friction plates from 7 to get decent clearance as it started dragging when warmed up ... It has minimum thickness steels but also now one less of them ...Still more testing needed gearbox on 750ss is very sweet smoother than the monster ...Handling is wonderful
My mate jules , Yamaha bolt 950 2014.. is a bit of a saga ,, originally came due to missfire in the rain ,, found one bad Coil , which was replaced with a Hendler coil from a parts supplier and new plugs and HT leads ... but the new coils blew the ECU ...
The ECU may have also had some water ingress a its very common on Yamaha looms ....but when the old coil died it killed it some more ,, repair cost of ECU £328 , new ones are £1400 from yamaha but none available anyway
ECU came back but I was suspicious of the aftermarket Hendler Coils which only measure 0.02ohms on primary where as genuine Yamaha coil measure 5ohms same as all my ducati coils do ....hmmm that may have also damaged the ECU so the Hendler coils are going back for a refund and we have ordered genuine Yamaha coils at £122 each from Yamaha but currently on back order none available anywhere ??? amazing a 2014 year Jap bike is so hard to get parts for ......
Loom has been checked for shorts , open circuits etc , and sealed with amalgy tape and we have new HT leads , plugs etc just waiting for the coil
Ninja 650 needs a service oil , filter and new chain and sprockets ,, will do that in July ...
I have the parts I need for the S4 but not sure when I will get to Thailand this year due to hospital and other issues
Oh i have also received a diagnosis of High function Autism ,, and not ADHD as initially thought which explains my eccentricities and issues since I was a kid ,, but at 67 i dont think I will make much difference but its comforting to finally understand why i am like I am . gives me some solid ground to stand on ....
