MONUMENT TO THE 2-STROKE, PART 2 - FINAL ASSEMBLY
delphipro5:
Finally got the sub-frame and airbox on.
Hit a little snag with the kickstand... The top bolt they supply with the stand is too short (25mm) and it ate the first 2 threads out of the weld nut when I tourqed it down... So If you have one of these stands get a 30mm bolt for the top so this does NOT happen. :| I also made my own sleeve that is longer than the supplied one from pro-moto, so now it goes all the way thru both frame ears and the sub-frame. I also drilled the top hole on the stand to accept the sleeve. I cut some 10mm O.D. x 1mm Wall- tubing, to 15mm length for the sleeve. (All Stainless) So now it goes all the way thru the stand, Frame, and sub-frame. To position everything perfect, and take the shear strain off the bolt and weld nut. Like it should! :wink: I also cut a bolt to 33mm and put a thin backing nut on, for extra insurance.
If anyone has one of these stands, I have a bunch extra hdw and correct size tubing all in S.S. If you want me to make a set up to get it right. All you would need to do is drill out the top hole to 10mm(25/64ths) on a drill press and I'd make the hdw. kit. it really is the way it SHOULD be done!
I will post picks of the whole setup later, so you can see what it is im doing here. :wink:

I should have mentioned that the bolts they send with the pro moto kickstand are too short but if you ask them for the longer bolts they will send them out to you for $4 plus shipping.
Looks real nice delphi and if you are in the market for rollers the TM designs rollers are real nice and at a great price.
They roll much smoother than the stock ones and the chain rides perfectly on the rollers just a thought if you haven't bought rollers yet.

Well, well, well :x NO SPARK! NOTHING! I am having trouble with my ign. I think my CDI is toast! Got it all together and checked the ground continuity and all the wires for breaks and shorts. All looks fine. :? Took the plug out and laid it on the the head, cranked er' over a few times good and nothing! :? Checked it over again, shut off the lights :lol: Cranked er'...NOTHING... What to do.... $325 bucks for new parts :roll: oh boy here we go- maybe I should just buy the MZB Ign. that alwards got and stop wasting my time here!
?????????????????????????????????? :????????????????????????????????

Sounds good to me!! I have a CDI, coil, stator I could send for troubleshooting. I am not using them. Or we could compare ohm's. Let me know what I can do to help.

I see the coil has a good chassis ground, how about the engine case to frame ? Remember the stator is internally grounded via the crankcase....
