Tested a set of Full Spectrum 48mm carbs (from 2006) on my SS900 yesterday. Once again the jetting is goofy. Your Novi's would probably (guessing) be similar in character. 1.8 N&S with black springs (25psi), 2 check valves, #60 return jet Front carb 135 HS, 5/8 turn out. 127.5 LS, 5/8 turn...

The quick answer to your question is 5 points on the HS jet.... so far Xscream recommended (as a starting point with 46mm Mikuni's) 117.5 H/S and 130 L/S jets. That would get you running, but (for me) the front cylinder would run too lean if you tried to ride 3/4 to full throttle for more than a...

Like mentioned above, check for crankcase and head o-ring leaks. It's good to start with a properly "sealed" motor. Remove the head and check the O-Rings (they are probably chewed up). Make sure the domes don't sit flush with the head sealing surface. There should be a interference fit (the head...

The single carb setup on a 62T based motor can be a challenge to get running correctly (46mm). I'm not saying it can't be done, but the smooth linear performance isn't there (welcome to tuning hell) and it can consume more fuel than duals. The best stock/lightly modified 62T setup would be to...

Oh, Btw... All O-ring heads (with the compression o-ring seal) have a somewhat short life span (before messing with them). The longest lasting type is the old original outboard motor kind , like on the stock Yamaha 650-701 (metal/fiber). Some guys like to buy the aftermarket heads because they...

1211 is your head "water gasket". The big dome O-Ring. is a Mcmaster-Carr # 9464K441 . -044. I use Teflon super lube on all the o-rings and 1211 on the outside perimeter. Keep an eye open for ANY sort of corrosion in the surrounding o-ring groove on the domes. Get a spare set of domes...Because...

8 years later... The 1/4 to 1/3 muddy problem didn’t go away. Has anyone been able to “fix” it yet?? Let’s hear from all the tuners out there.

Bonus umbrella mount with grill... Can't get any better than that

Looking stylish there KTM434...

Yea....Typo, thanx

There are normally 3 adjustment screws (valves) on a B-Pipe. Top, middle, and bottom. 10-32 thread. If all the screws are closed, there should be no water entering the exhaust stream for tuning. Sounds like someone drilled another hole in the top for you. Factory pipe uses a jig to hold the...

When you remove the flywheel cover, take a look in there for excessive gunk (fuel oil mix,black & gooey). That is a tell tale sign that the crank seal(s) are leaking. This can haunt you with on going "mystery" seizure issues. Normally, bad/leaking seals can lead to a engine run-away...which for...

It's cool to see the 440's +550's still kickin it. Betcha most riders out there today couldn't even ride that...especially in the surf. Do you have a facebook acct?

440's were fun! Got a shot of you and your buds pushing your ski up the beach.. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1647534518842051&set=a.1645979768997526.1073741850.100007565559644&type=3&theater More Daytona 2016 pix here...

Great pix Pavi !

When you are on top of the bridge and look right, you will see this ("the cove"). Park ski's on the beach, and the surf break is shown just above the center of the pic. (Please be polite to your "neighbors" on the beach, and in the break. As always, observe the NJ boating rules & regulations...

Ok, the weather report is supposed to be real nice for this weekend (sunny, 70's, and light winds). The surf report isn't epic, but decent. Now about the ride... The city controls everything. We are still being patient on the final decision they agree on. The ball was always in their court...

More great shots!!!

Thanks!!!
