That did the trick! I went for a test ride and really, it is much smoother now! There are still some light vibrations at 7-8k rpm but I never felt the bike so smooth. Another interesting thing is that I don't feel that kick anymore when I pull hard on the throttle. The bike goes fast but I need...

No gauge but I went in diag. I guess in d03 I have value 100 and if I crank the engine it drops to 89-90. Engine not running as it,s in diag mode

Oh man, success finally! So the issue was that basically the sync was messed up to begin with. My issue was that the vacuum was so high on some of the tubes that they would suck all the oil out of the other ones so I would get bubbles and dangerously close for the oil to be sucked into the...

I am making a 2 hose version to even out 1 and 2 first, then do the same on 3 and 4 and then all together. I guess that the whole setup was far off from the start. Also I didn't know that the settings are real sensitive. I messed 2 3 and 4 completely by maxing them out both ways. I was trying to...

And I consider the build to be rock solid. I used larger Ts and Ls made for bit larger hose that way it is sealed for sure. I worked really hard to get the hose on those adapters and it's a snug fit. And I don't get any bubbles while the oil level is creeping up no1 hose. It's when one of the...

It's pointless :( I did NOT touch no1 screw. I only messed with 2-3-4. I tried with one way valves and now the oil is not to rampart but still, no1 goes up up up and now it's sucking 3 out :( 2 declines at a lower rate and 4 seems somewhat steady. I really don't get it. I had to stop the bike as...

I built it without one way valves and haven't been so successful. 1st tube gets sucked pretty hard and I get bubbles from the other tubes emptying. I put some more oil and just bought the one way valves and will try again tonight.

I don't get it, isn't engine braking one thing and rev matching another? I use engine braking so I don't use the braking system on the bike. Isn't rev matching something you do so you DON'T engine brake when down shifting? :confused:

I never went beyond 5000km on oil change :) I feel as the bike is preparing to disintegrate whenever I see the 4500km mark for oil change :D And I sure do rev the bike, don't think she ever saw lugging in her lifetime. I like to have power ready for delivery whenever I ride so that's not an...

I guess I could build the contraption out of 2 Ts and 2 Ls ? Can't find any F connectors here...

Hello, I have a K&N air filter and it's time to clean it. I managed to only get the K&N large can oil spray and was wondering on how to clean it. I've seen many recommending for and against diesel/gas/soap/brake cleaners. Is there anything that's readily available for this task? I'd like to...

I gave the chain a good clean and then lubed it proper and now that scratchiness is gone. I still have the rattle inside the engine on engine braking. I will test with the tensioner out and see if the chain is loose or not.

So I should open the upper part of the engine to check this?

I checked the tensioner and it seems to be working fine. I only took out the screw and it seemed to be working smooth. I event twisted it to the max and let it go a couple of times and seemed to be working ok. I will clean the chain once more and give it a good lube and report back. So far...

Bike has about 25.000 km and I was very diligent with the chain since I had it (3000km on the clock back then). I only cleaned the chain once with diesel, but I do lube it every 4-500 km or so. I will take off the front sprocket cover and do your check as well. But anyway, I tried to spin the...
