When I removed the top engine bolt my engine moved enough to Where the bolt wont line up through the frame and the threads of the head, any tips to try and get it lined up? My bikes down until I can get it to thread in. Im mechanical and own my own service company so I understand mechanics

@@imthatguy1878 engine probably dropped down a tad, not sure if you removed both bolts at the same time because if so it definitely dropped down a little bit. I’d just take the headers off or find a good spot to jack then motor up just a hair. It pivots near the front where those bolts were

@MChappysGarage thanks for getting back to me but I finally got it this afternoon, I had only taken the one side bolt out but the Instructions never said to brace the engine with a jack. I locked it into my condor stand and once I started jacking it realigned and was able to get it done

Thank you for sharing the video-it was a wonderful sound . I'm considering getting the same myself and have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1. Are there any aspects of the bike that you regret? 2. How do you decide what settings to choose on the ECU for better performance? 3. After tuning the ECU, does the bike's warranty remain valid? Thank you again.

@MChappysGarage Ай бұрын
@@creed426 hey thanks for watching, to your first question no there is absolutely nothing I regret with this bike. It’s an amazing bike, quite comfortable for cruising around town and having some fun. As far as the ecu flash when you send the ecu off to the tuner you tell them which modifications you have in the bike if any and they do most of the adjustments on their end. The Ivan’s tune greatly improves the throttle response on the bike so it’s not as twitchy as the stock tune on the bike along with turning on the radiator fans earlier so the bike doesn’t run as warm and a bunch of other things. And yeah tuning the bike will void the warranty however I wasn’t too worried about that.

Bro, I timed the cold start and I stopped at 3:30. That is very long to warm up a nonexistent cat. My Zed will only return to normal idle with 2 bars on the temp gauge. I have the same setup like yours: Akra headers, stock can. I am not sure I want the Ivan flash after watching you because it still has high idles for very long time to warm up the cat. My GS only takes about 1 minutes to get up to operating temp and it has a huge 1200 cc boxer engine. Can a lower thermostat be used to let the coolant warm up faster?
@MChappysGarage
@MChappysGarage Ай бұрын
Every bike is a little different, it ramps up to the higher idle to get the motor warmed up before ripping on it. The gs has a completely different motor than this bike
