my fiver is a sumo conversion, so when i want to ride i want it to be ready to go when i am. i think 175F is a little cold for the fiver, don't you?

anybody try to put one in the fiver? i thought i read somewhere ktm has one that will fit? does that sound familiar? I'm looking to get to operating temperature quicker. thanks

After seeing an interested party post here, asking questions about the fit and finish of them. I told him that i read they were nice, but don't fit well. A week later i flipped a rock into the left rad. going against my instincts of just to pay a radiator repair shop, i bought a pair. 119.00 shipped...

my last clutch cover had a rock flip up and smack the cover, smacked a hole into it. i say remove little as possible to fit. its really a bad ass cover as is!

sent mine, 2-3 days

sounds like they took what they had available and made a bike. was this a homemade conversion? did you supply the chassis, or did they piece it all together? i have been there, and got way more than i expected (bad stuff) but all this stuff can be fixed, and I'm sure it will get sorted out. its not ...

yes, that is what i meant! well what ever you decide to do keep us posted.

i would be interested in a stock pipe guard.

have you thought about making covers, for steeles, that mount by the swingarm bolt?

ha! thats funny!

anybody tried to fit their clutch side cover yet? just curious.

sweet bike, i like that color scheme

got my covers today, they are sweet!

many thanks to everyone involved in the whole process start to finish!

the squeaky wheel gets the grease. he has to give up reasons why when money is involved... to keep customers happy. keep on him until you get the response.

:?

i am just curious how your bike sounds and reacts to the throttle only being opened around 1/4 of a turn, going around 40 mph, but not quite "on the pipe." my bike has a strange characteristic at under 1/4 throttle, getting up to speed. it hops and jerks, not sure if this is normal, but it...

ouch, thats gotta hurt his wallet. sucker!

sweet! thanks for the vid. do you have and of just cruising light throttle?

so i should change to 168 main, 42 slow, DGN needle 3rd position, air screw 1 1/2, 32:1 mixture at 80 degrees ferinheight at 4700 ft. sound right?

thanks for all the help!

took the bike out today, i ended up changing to a 40 slow, 175 main, air screw 1 turn out and fouled a plug; cruising at light throttle then got on it and it just blubbered out and died. changed the plug, turned the screw out 1 1/2 and it started up. i really didn't notice much smoke at idle, should...

that does make sense, just needed someone else to say it! thanks

thanks for the tips! i have been searching the past posts and getting more of an idea as to what to look for (the way its acting rich or lean) how would you describe a rich condition? how would you describe a lean condition? its just been a while since i have ridden it. with it being put away for so...

thanks for the tips! will post results and report back

it seems more of a hesitation, it has a 6.0 slide. do you think 38 slow jet , 1/2 turn on the air screw is too lean of a slow jet? should i put a 40 slow 175 main? my mistake, my altitude is 4700ft

my temperature is at 80 degrees. i made the switch from running in the sand to riding on the road a while back, and it seems to start spiting oil on the turn signal, out the tail pipe. i mostly ride from half to 3/4, and some wide open throttle. my dynoport seemed to hop the front tire rhythmically ...
