up date with pics.
I was hearing a small exhaust leak when it was cold. I had a list of other things to do to so off with the bed.
once the bed was off I found the turbo muffler I used to hold the turbo feel apart. this was not a real big surprise the original design was a cherry bomb stile muffler . cherry bombs are much thicker.
at that point I knew I needed a strong wont rust cheep muffler. I found just what I needed up stairs. its the stock one. it just needed better flow and a flat end to mount the turbo pipe to. o and an extra mount and new tail pipe and I guess an o2 mount. just a little moding. lol
I drilled an extra hole in both baffles for some extra flow.
ready to go.
I even trimmed and installed the stock heat shield. it came out nice and its strong.
next project. I bought a hole Rincon tranny on ebay for 50 bucks .
so apart again. were going to swap out the reduction gears. hear are the two side by side.
I had to replace these two and the reverse gears
while I was in there I decided to put the stock timing key back in. after getting it back together I had to garage test it. dam I have to learn out how to get the video's on here.
anyway it still spins all four tires while chained down in the garage. and rev limiter comes on at about 57 mph while jacked up. one surprise was the bike uses the speedo not rpms to shift from 1to2 and 2to3 . so now the bike makes those shifts at 5800 rpms now. that's not a bad thing the stock bike peaks in hp at 5200 rpms then drop quickly from there on the dyno. top speed is still determined by the rpms.
I have had it out in the local trails and it still has very good power rock crawling. it lost some engine braking but I know were the brake peddle is and would rather me in control instead of the bike.. I plan on taking it up north nin the next couple of weeks where I can open it up to see what top speed is. I cant do it out on the road anymore the guy out on the main road has been yelling at me for fooling around and the cops are out there a lot lately. people suck.
I also had to redo my air filter mount.
its a k+n style filter with a flower pot on top. the pot was just held with a rubber well nut though the top of the pot and filter I never trusted it and if it fell off I would be driving around with know filter.
so I made a heavy dudy clamp with 3 legs to hold the pot with push pins.
now the funny parts was rolling the clamp. does any one know how to get the part off of the roller when your done rolling. I had to cut it. lol
I also installed one of the summit heaters and vent kit. I used 15 feet of heater hose to plumb it. works grate. better than my old one. and a graite deal. less $200 including hoses and all hardware.
to much crap under the hood . 10 pounds in a 5 pound bucket.
