Modified the pilot jet to 17,5.
First ride on Sunday with original CDI , short ride, 60km.
Was running well. Water temperature 65°C outside town.
EGT up to 600°C at full speed. :grin:

The only problem was the chain reduction (16/42), too short.
She is running at the 6th gear without any problem until 11 000rpm.
Changed today to 16/38 and new chain. Would be approx. 24km/h more end speed.

Will try during the next days, hope first gear will not be too long. :???:

Ride last Sunday,
the chain reduction is okay. She is still going to a very slight wheelie at the first gear. :razz:

But engine stopped a few times. :smt009
No fuel out from the fuel talk. :smt017
Hope the engine is still fine.

And she is consuming a lot of fuel, 14 litres for 100km.
I´m shocked. :shock:
