Cool, just enough time to clean my carb

see ya guys wednesday!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

GOD DAMN SUN BURN!!!!!!!!
AAAAHHHHHH!!!
Great ride Chaps

Sunburn here too.
So I overheated more times on the way home. Walked it about a quarter mile to my house and parked it and let it cool off for a while before re-jetting it and flushing the water. Went riding a little later and it overheated again about 2 miles away when going 20mph

Reminds me of someone did it go into limp mode when it overheated.

Yeah. The first time it overheated was going up a pretty steep long hill. I also noticed that it blows ass at hill climbing. At WOT I was barely even keeping up with everyone else (before it overheated)

Bummed hearing the overheating issue has risen it's ugly head. When I had the bb running I ate hills like a fat kid does twinkies, had to wait for everyone at the top of hills during con.....if we can't get the bb consistently running, I'll buy it back from ya....

sleeeepless in seattle, insomnia bites...

I think my overheating if due to really out of wack jetting. It was really hot today and you have barely tried jetting it, correct? Take a look at your spark plug and see what you find.

I thought maybe it's the new belt and rollers but they've got around 60 miles on them now so they should be broken in. Oil level is normal, spark plug is 3 weeks old, carb is clean enough to eat out of and the jetting seems to be atleast close. It's really just about as fast as everyone else's from a stop. Only really noticing any difference at 40+ but I think it's mostly the drive face shave and cdi
I'm going to try flushing the coolant tomorrow again since it'll be a completely cold engine and see if the bigger jet helps anything, or if there's air in the the coolant/water. If it's not either of those, then I'm out of ideas as to the overheating since everything else was torqued to spec. Oil is spill brand new looking, burned a little bit of oil when riding but it's still just right under half way on dipstick.

That's what's weird with mine though. I did 20 miles before Acrop yesterday and another 20-ish with everyone with zero problems. Overheat light came on 5 or 6 times today and I shut it off immediately and let it cool around 10 min each time and did 1/4th throttle for a few min when I did turn it back on.

Best oil to use with a new motor?

use regular for break in. and change it a couple times soon!
move up to synth after 1000 miles on it.

farmers tan bad!! the back of my neck looks like it was whipped! next time i will remember to apply screen.....just not used to the sun being out at all

steve said to tell you all he had a great time out riding and he now has the bug bigtime!

This is exactly what happened to mine that one time i was riding with you guys and had to go home becasue of enginge problems. Varror had the same situation and destroyed his motor because he pushed it trying to get home. His kept over heating and his top end warped.

ATR Engine extension just came in, wonderin if anyone wants to help me put it in tonight, thanks
