Dyno again

Back at the Dyno again.  The bike hit the same peak as before 94bhp, but the curve was a fair bit worse.  Probably the combination of running too lean, a different silencer and having the body work on.  I'm pretty sure most of the loss is down to the jetting, as the lean area matches the loss of power:

On the way back one of the fork legs  puked out it's oil. While i'm doing the seals I'm going to swap the fork lowers with my standard forks which are in much better condition.  As well as needing some special tools I also had to grind down a 17mm spanner

Running again

After a few wiring mistakes i've got it running again.  Just need to book some time on the dyno to get it checked out

Sleeved the rest of the wiring on the bike and then went to change the plugs on the quick-shifter from bullet connectors to a proper plug.  While testing it all I discovered the actual plugs to the coils gave a bad connection and one of the wires had gone black so i'm going to replace all the wiring to the coils and the plugs.

Also decided to shorten the quick-shifter wiring harness as it was over a meter longer than it needed to be.

Tidying the wiring

I've almost finished the new dash and have been tidying up the wiring, with much smaller connectors and sleeving the exposed parts of my harness. I'm almost finished, just need some slightly bigger sleeving to finish  off the power/starter and warning lamp wiring.

Engine rebuilt

I've rebuilt the engine again, and it's now in the bike.  Should be ready to start tomorrow, though i'm planning to tidy up the electrics and change the dash layout before I take it back to Steve Jordan's.

The engine feel much tighter than before, fingers crossed the rings dont wear out as fast this time.

After much messing about i've found the ring gaps are way too big.  I should have taken the rings off and measured them last time, but for some reason I got it in my head that i wouldnt get them off without damaging the, even though i'd  managed this hundreds of times on my MZ (i'm blaming someone else for talking me out of it).

I have new rings but the lower ring gap out of the packet seems slightly large, while the top rings will need grinding.  Also my bore guages seem worn out/broken as I can't get a consistent reading from the 2-3" one.  I'm going to buy a internal micrometer so I can be sure of the piston/bore clearance before i go any further.

Still no wiser as to how it wore the rings out in less than 150 miles, my hope is that I don't have some other issue and I somehow gapped them incorrectly first time round
