hmmm... that sounds like the rh and lh valves are little bit misplaced ... they have to be full closed and then at full throttle up to full open ... take a look at the gears at the rh and lh valves and the pulling rod and if its worn out, helps only replacing...
J.ellwanger:
which is where im thrown off...
cause it seems like i have a restriction somewhere else...
tried to ride it today, switched mufflers to see if maybe the wet spark arrestor was holding it back, but the stock one did not change anything, once it gets on the pipe, it falls on its face... so i repacked the the S.A.
cause in the garage it will roar and rev up, but under load... not so much.
:mrgreen: so what would change the kips from where they go working under no load, to not working under load? :|
since May, my bike ran fine, and i havent pulled the engine apart at all yet, cause after i got it jetted, took it to the local shop, and they said it was in fantastic shape, so ive left it alone, ive been 75mph on the thing so far, (gps phone app) and still had more to go on, just no room. before i decided to drown the beast this month
im trying to figure out the kips, would the kips be slack with the engine off hence the exposed outer most exhaust ports?(over rotated closed position) then when idling, would the kips fully closed at idle due to rotation, and the gearing or what controls it? thought it might be difficult to see them working while bike is running and exhaust off, :lol: little loud as well, then everything coming out... to see if the closed fully while idling
but really how would i know... just watch the control lever on the outside to see if it moves out the 1/16 of an inch to close the ports? cause by pulling about 1/16 out by hand, they are fully closed, while impossible to see, could that be one thing? just thoughts running through my head, had to throw out there
motopunk:
sounds at least that the kips is overrotating...i think you can find here the solution for your kips- problem :-)

Just a thought, do you have an ohm meter?
If so, I would test all your electrical components...
J.ellwanger:
I do not have a ohm meter somewhere, I'm trying to find one now. (my friends sleep till the crack of noon)
but as far as the kips fine tuning... that seems to be giving a better bottom end... but my bottom end is fine, idling, and going, but hit the pipe and falls down.
which ill fine tune once i get it to run all the way through the RPM's unload again.
checked compression, @ 145 lbs.
im boggled at what could be might problem... but when i did the Comp. test, i looked at my spark plug and its clean...
like no browning or anything...
while my jetting hasnt changed at all, im running the jetting chart for ....
HOLY CRAP, maybe since the air is cooling off, im running really lean ???
since i was running for 5000-6000 @79-100 degree...... oh F*** where is the smiley bashing his head on the desk??? stupid stupid stupid...
i digress.. lol im gonna pull the jets and swap them for the cooler air jets.
so is that Stewart guy still around, i see his name, but it says guest under it. would like to get that screw for the kips fix for later on!
but, im still confused, could it be fuel starvation that causes it to fall on its face? but when i say falls on its face, i mean it Almost Rides YOU type of falls on its face. it acts like it wants to, pulls real hard for a blip, then just throws you forward like you were trying to go for 8 secs on a 1200lb. bull,
