Thank you, and god speed on your R1 rebuild. I like to do a leak down test before I tear down just to see exactly where Im loosing compression exactly.

Thanks for your input. This is my beginning stage of doing videos and I was not at all comfortable with anyone hearing me talk. It was either do zero videos that no one could at all benefit from and I would never build up confidence or do the videos the way I was comfortable doing them at that point in my life.

You might need to clean up your grounds. Your power is getting robbed from somewhere. For full on tech support email me or call. My time has value. [email protected] or 408 630 0809

I start the mix/stew at two turns out from fully seated as a start point. There is a procedure for tuning. I can send you a video if you like. Idle screw you will want to adjust when running. Between 800-1000 rpm

I don’t but I can help you with tech support either through phone or email. [email protected] or 408 630 0809. I will need to purchase service manual and donation for my time for tech support. Thank you

I need to purchase your service manual to give you exact direction. Why I wanted to go through email. So I could get reimbursed for my time and manual. 408 630 0809 is my number. If you want to continue with the tech support either call or email. I run a shop and I am one person. My time does have value.

I can be your tech support and help you diagnose your no spark issue. Send me your year and model to [email protected]. Put in the subject line “KZbin tech support”. I will download the service manual and guide you through the diagnostic procedures.

If your wire isn’t connected that could be the issue yes.

Why the hell would I listen to your stupid ass opinion. Piss off loser haha

I took the tang off. After I took it off I made sure the float could drop fully and open normally. Gravity holds it against the float tang. I have seen older carburetors without a hanger many times before.

That had around $200 hours on it. He was a rancher and there was hay everywhere!

Gasket set $280 Cam chain $50 Piston ring set $176 Exhaust valves $120 Intake valves $$400 Machine work to clean up seats,ports, and combustion chamber. $600 Manual cam chain tensioner $75 Bearings $250 Oil and oil filter $48 Engine ice $50 I only charged $1000 for labor which is ridiculously low

The clamps came with the kit, off Amazon. Naked fairing conversion.

You rude ass pos. My fuel pump ran great. Sorry you’re too stupid to figure it out haha. Sucks to be you.

Yes high beams are only the top added LED it doesn’t get brighter if your connect both red and blue to power. It’s two separate wires for high and low because we can’t add more then our 12volt system operates on. A traditional bulb gets brighter because it has two filaments. So the one filament is supplied with 12 volts then the second filament is supplied with 12volt to make it brighter. It’s not a Baja light by any means. I was straight going for a sleek look with just enough light to get me out of a late night back home. I don’t do much night riding.

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029​​⁠Thank you. The exact answer I was looking for. I just want the light for the look as well. No night riding for me. 👊

Lol yeah the trick is to not look down that’s for sure!!

Glad to help

This is on my 2003 Ktm 525. My 2012 500 exc has a Baja designs headlight.

I have this headlight by polisport but i have some problems for installing because the cables doesn t fit

So do you have power on the Brown wire going into the switch? Do you have power going out of the switch on the black wire? If so go to your starter relay and check that you have ground on the black and yellow wire. Power on the white with red stripe wire, then you should have power on your black wire when you hit your start button. If you have those on the three wires at the starter relay then check if there’s power coming out of the main really to starter when you hit button and activate relay. If you have everything the relay needs but it won’t push power through then bad relay. If you have power going through to starter then bad starter.

I don’t think so but I can’t say for certain. The one I torn down was extremely clogged and no damage was done from lack of lubrication to the top end. The three different clutches have different oil pressure circuits. I’m assuming the top end has its own also but not sure if that is connected to the clogged sump. Even as a trained technician I would have the service manual by my side on this one.

First of all I apologize for the late response. I was moving my entire shop location. That is a very strange symptom. After doing the checks you have done I would also start to think the same thing. There should be a check engine light on so if there isn’t it must be mechanical or bad ecm.

I love to hear that. I’m glad I could be of help. KZbin has saved my butt so I’m glad to return the favor.

Thanks for your comment! I’m glad to help!

It is bad ass “looking” it gets the job done. A really good headlight costs around $500 so for the price and the fact I don’t do much night riding, its great. It’s just to get me home if I happen to stay out a little late.

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 sounds perfect 😎

Then watch something else lol. You’re not paying for my video and no one else is paying me either. This is completely my free time and creativity. If you don’t like it then poss off lol.

Thank you! I’m glad this could help.

That’s the reality exactly. I just want to give props to anyone that left that start line. I think by posting my struggle I’m also prepping myself for the redemption story. In the end tho I will never be afraid of failure. I am more fearful of not trying at all.

Yeah there has been 100,000 acre fires left and right up here.

Well thank you you’re too kind. The soder I’m not too sure of but I can show you how I soder. I have the heat underneath the wire until the wire is hot enough. Then I put soder on top with heat on bottom and the soder gets sucked down into the wire.

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 I picked some up yesterday and will give it a go.

No actually the Big Red has a completely different motor, clutch, and transmission. I have another video of one I torn down.

Thanks!

Yeah that’s Hondas spec for that bike. Seemed high to me too you’re not the only one

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 is it .28 or .18 for exhaust? Manual says .28mm. Witch is what I measured at. Bike runs horrible and has almost no compression so if .18mm is actually correct then that’s a good thing for me lol

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 you may wanna fix your description so someone doesn’t adjust to .18… everywhere I’ve found is .28 I’m assuming it’s a typo ?

I don’t have anything bad to say about Rotax engines. Not sure if I would own one but opportunity hasn’t risen I guess

@@grizzlymotomotorsports1029 Like tractor engines...they sound sorta industrial.

Thanks for your comment. Glad she’s back to top notch and ripping again. They really are great mini adventure bikes.

I want to do another video for you guys because I don’t think I can answer your question clearly. The groove of slot on the plunger slides into position in the fuel pump body with a little dowel locator in the body. I will post another video in a few days if you want to hold off for a bit

He explained towards the end where he saw the pin fell out. The small pin aligns with the groove just below it and keeps it in place. Don't tilt the pump and lose that pin or you'll have a bad cylinder. GREAT VIDEO!!! Can't wait for grizzly to do a 4 cylinder with geared rack as well as when the rack is frozen where slide pin doesn't match engine opening. Stuck. There's the side fuel adjust secret 😉

Sweet I’m glad you found that useful. I’ll be having the FZ1 back in the shop next week so let me know if you need a certain video of anything on the bike

I love my bike for the places I get to go on it. Wouldn’t catch me hiking and 4 wheels is just not that fun.

You know I think that same thing sometimes. I’ll get frustrated and something would give me trouble so I take a break, wooo saww, then when I come back I get it right away. It is a mental struggle sometimes. There is a book I have been meaning to read. “Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance” I think it would shine light on this topic.

Can you hear your fuel pump prime when you turn the key on?
