I haven't tried to port and polish or anything like that yet, but I will.
So far, I've installed a pod filter, a free-flowing exhaust, a 112.5 main jet and a 27.5 slow jet in a Mikuni. It runs really well up to 65mph, where it tops out. I'm likely to swap in the 230 I have and port and polish at that time. There's only so much we can do to a pushrod motor that has only one cam lobe, but I want to free it up as much as I can. I'm resisting the urge to use a no-rev-limit CDI, because I don't want to kill it.

I just put in a "racing" CDI which supposedly doesn't have rev limiter and it does seem to run better.

Is it harder to start? That's often the by-product of an advanced ignition curve.

I'm with you on that. I like to quantify changes, one at a time.
When it's convenient, do you mind to measure the length and width of that CDI for me?

Do you have your original CDI? If you have a moment to measure that, it will give me the info I need.

You're a man of many tape measures.
Thanks for taking the time to measure the CDI; I spotted in the eBay ad that the racing CDI was a DC version, and they are a different size that AC CDI's. I suspect that my CDI is DC, and I can now compare the measurements.

Weld,
Can't have too many tape measures, flashlights, and screw drivers. |

Still enjoying riding my DF here in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Very cool. Whats in the trailer is that a camping setup?
Is that the same bike that Cleveland Cycleworks is selling as the Tha Heist? http://www.clevelandcyclewerks.com/h...k1fp26e6qegxev / |

When did you get the Ural, Vince? How do you like it?

I sold my 2012 Ural Yamal last year and I've had the 2015 cT for six months.
It's my favorite ride. Last edited by Barnone; 07-13-2019 at 09:14 PM. |
