T500 Tunning
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 9:57 am
I have 250 miles on the T500R rebuild. 100 of which was 45 mph easy and city stop & go cooling off between runs not going over 4k rpms. I ran the tank half full with premix.
I was not happy with the performance at all. even after running unmixed gas. She started on the first kick with starter channel open but had poor throttle response. Went in and out,(air) up and down(needle) and hot to cold(plug). nothing worked until I put on a different set of carbs and now I have my bike back
Still had to do the usual tuning but now it pulls in all gears and good throttle response as long as the Rs are 3k or better. I took her out on the highway yesterday to 70 mph and still had more left. This is after I found a station the serves PURE GAS (0 Ethanol) @ 91 octane. Its about 30 miles from home. but worth the trip.

I think it is a bit lean or timing abit advance. Ill try the timing first.
Im getting about 290-310 F on the left side and 270-290 F on right. this is after a hard ride at 95 F sunny day.
Well off for another ride today because its a bit cooler 80s and want to see if my changes worked.
