I'm glad to hear your TMEC200 is performing well in the excessive heat.

TMEC-200 Mod 12
Well I got a bug up my arse about fixing the side stand before I went riding today. I emulated the Japanese method. It seems odd to me that TMEC wouldnt just do it the correct way to start with. I took the cut off wheel and clipped the welds then pulled the upper pin out of the hole. I used a bolt that came from the crate packing and put it in the back side of the hole and welded it from the front and back. I then removed the lower pin off the front and put it in the same location but on the back of the side stand. After the modification I only needed the single larger spring. There will be a couple posts to show the before and after.
Here it is. |

Here is how to modify the turn beeper.
Behind the front headlight fairing there will be a small plastic box. Inside is just a simple RC (resistor/capacitor) circuit to generate the flasher interval. To be able to get in there you have to remove the two 10mm bolts on the sides of the fairing and tilt it back. Some times pictures are worth a thousand words so take a look. Remember I have completely removed my piezo so it is not there. You can do the same or just put some scotch tape over the small hole in it to quiet it down if you choose to leave it. Also you can see how I black taped the hole to protect the circuit from moisture. Again multiple posts to show the pictures. Matt Quote:

Excellent! I'm going to try that today.
While I'm playing with the flasher, I'm going to see if I can convert to a regular flasher. If I can, I'll be able to use an LED flasher instead.

Yes, as long as I keep the air flowing, I don't believe the excessive heat affects the bike any more than lower temps. I thought it was when our temps started hitting the 100 F, and I could definitely feel more heat on my thighs, but then realized the engine felt hotter (because it is running hotter) due to the EPA equipment that I did not have on the '09

I definitely need something for my chain because my chain rubs the rubber guide due to my smaller rear sprocket. I am hoping that Wade will convince the TMEC factory to start using 46 tooth rear sprockets as I have suggested to him numerous times. But they would definitely need to figure out a fix for the chain guide if they do that (or if Wade finds a manufacturer to make a 46 tooth rear with this bolt pattern in steel as an aftermarket option). Speaking of rear sprockets, Rebel Gears of Tennessee (I think of Tenn, but they are on the internet) do have the TMEC bolt pattern when I had them make me a 40 tooth, but if you want to have them custom make you one, get at least a 44 in my opinion. But, keep in mind, they make them in an alloy since they are technically made for competition, and I went through a few chains on my commutes since the alloy ate them up (I did not realize people who compete in motocross and such will buy a chain just to use for a race or two, so that kind of made me realize that my sprocket had nothing necessarily wrong with it, as well as my chains, but the sprocket was not made for commuting like the stock 56 or the steel 48 I found in the UK via JT Sprockets (I guess you can order the 48 via JT's US affiliate, but it was easier and less cost to use an online parts retailer in the UK who carried them). http://www.urbanbike.co.uk/ http://www.rebelgears.com/

Let it breathe
I know that some of these mods are to much for some but I will capture them anyway. Here I modded the exhaust to remove the catalatic honey comb to allow the exhaust to breathe more. Cut it, Dig it, Tig it!

How much does Reble Gears charge for a custom made sprocket?
It seems unclear to me how the alloy would devour the chains. Was the actual pitch of the teeth correct? Perhaps the engagement was to deep for the type of chain roller that was used? These are all just questions. I have been looking around for some cheap plate sprockets that I can tailor to the bolt pattern of the TMEC. I have a small CNC at home that I could cut some customs but starting with the plate sprockets is very cheap and then I just need to mill the bolt pattern. I was also looking at Honda and Yamaha sprockets also but just haven't pursued it very hard. Quote:
