Sean literally had the guy who originally worked on/tuned the bike walk up to him when it was delivered. The guy even offered to buy it and/or work on it and Sean said "thanks but I'm taking it to my guy who has never seen it before." We never heard anything about that guy after that. Craig can do wonders but Sean had THE guy within the first 10 minutes of the bike being delivered to his facilities and said nope.

A friend and myself painted the Mrs. Geico boat a few times. We saw this bike while down in Florida at the boating facility, buffing and putting the final touches on the boat. I was told then that someone had been allowed to drive the bike, ran it out of fuel and put regular pump gas in it. The engine overheated and he had to be towed back to the shop. That was back in 2019. So that bike was screwed up long before your friend got it. My buddy actually has 2 of the Mrs. Geico watches also. It was part of the deal for us painting the boat.

Craig: it doesn't have to go to a starter shop to switch that button. That five-sided section is literally the starter solenoid. All that button does is push directly on the solenoid plunger, bypassing the electromagnet that would usually thrust it forward. Stick the output shaft into a hole in your bench or simply open the jaws on a bench vise, letting the shaft extend while supporting the starter with that cover pointing straight up. That part is important until you know how those things Nippon Denso starters are built. Keeping it cap-up prevents you from loosing a ball bearing and one (possibly two) springs. Remove the screws from the corner of the cap, holding slight pressure to the cap (spring, remember?). Lift the cap and remove. Install the new cap. This is literally a three-minute panel swap. While you have the starter solenoid open, inspect the two contacts (the two weird-shaped copper contacts) for pitting and scarring; polish if necessary) and the contact disk mounted around the plunger (again, polish if necessary). The only failures for Nippon Denso starters are these contacts and eventually wearing out the brushes. Things are immortal. In fact, you could probably polish the armature and commutator in the "bad" one, slap in a new brush rack, and your grandkids will be passing it on to their own kids.

The third injector is likely for two reasons; 1. They used smaller injectors on the heads to get good drivability and fuel control and the third injector for additional fuel under boost. 2. Being pre supercharger it acts as an air cooling agent when injected into the roots/screws due to the absence of a cooler.

I don't know anything about motorcycles, but you remind me of why it's fun watching you tinker with it. Your step by step back and forth with how all components work is exciting. DAN, the camera person is perfect co-play.😊 Take care. It was like I'm there. I want to throw that chair also. 😂

Awesome 👍 You are like the Bob Ross of Motorcycle Mechanics. Years ago I worked in a Yamaha Sales & Service Shop. We had a great Mechanic. Very calm, and methodical. He could figure out how to get anything running. Everything but computer gack. He just cut it out completely and worked around it. Would say, "I'm a mechanic, not a computer scientist." Sometimes, he would get frustrsted and then it was time for a break. But he loved the challenge, and never gave up, unless the client decided it was not worth his money. It was fun. I learned a lot. Anyways, brings me back to time in life I enjoyed. Good work. ✌

The injector on the super charger. My guess from having built a couple supercharged projects. Engine runs normally on the injectors in the engine. The injector in the supercharger adds the needed extra fueling for conditions when the engine is getting boost. Probably regulated by a built in map sensor. Bolt on..... no tuning required to the engine fueling.

I'm guessing that is the case too, especially if it's bolt on. Rather than tune and size the primary injectors, just leave the stock ones in and have a separate one for boost. Seeing how it's blowing black smoke they definitely didn't know how to tune it in the first place!

I remember them saying they used nitromethane or sth like this. Even ethanol or methanol need extra injectors to compensate for energy density. Similar to a carbs powerjet

@jonathanflatman 24 күн бұрын
Would a fuel injector on the superchrager also help cool the charge air and increase the charge density as the fuel evaporates? That might be an unintended consequential bonus rather that a primary design consideration
