I thought you meant its easy to get around decause of public transportation, but i thought that after i didnt know what the hell ya meant. Lol

Rook, you really need to get the bike out and stretch her legs. You need to see how she performs through all the throttle ranges, to make sure you have this kind of nailed down. Honestly, a 128, even if it's not drilled out, is probably going to be enough. Even if it's not ideal, at least you aren't as lean as it would have been otherwise. People ruin motorcycles though by slapping on intake and exhaust mods and not knowing that they have to upgrade the fuel flow as well... they then wonder why the bike never seems to run right anymore and they sell it.

If you're going to take time to invest money and emotional attachment to a bike or to a mod, you need to make sure you get the most out of it that you can. And, if you ever sell that thing in the future, you don't want to pawn off a piece of trash that idles rough and sputters and coughs at speed. That's not fair to the new owner and it's also going to turn off potential buyers or limit your financial return.

I will get out and ride, too hot right now tho. But what is your opinion on why the motor got so hot and i smeleed something like hot oil. Maybe to rich with the 128/130 main jet ?

[jonathan180iq]

No, a rich situation will actually cause the bike to run cooler, since there would be excess, unburned gas after each combustion cycle.

A simple sniff test will tell you if the bike is running too rich. If you smell gasoline in the exhaust after a ride, then it's a little bit too high. That being said. Since you have only changed the main jet, remember that you need to get into the 3/4 - full throttle range to fully utilize the main.

Running a little rich, I think, is preferred on air cooled engines because it will help with cooling long term. You can also check your spark plug after a full throttle run and see what kind of condition it is in. Black and sooty and it's too rich. White and hot and it's too lean. It should be perfect biscuit brown.

As far as the smell, make sure there isn't some random hose or cable hanging against the motor and getting partially melted. Just throwing that one out there.

Sweet looking exhaust. Hope this is working out ok now for you. Like a few others, if you ever get a vid of the sound, would love to hear it!

[Rookie Rider]

Mikuni large round jets are the technical name for the jets. I used a 130 and 2 nylon washers as well as the original needle shim adjustment of moving the washer to the top side of the eclip i never bought a carb kit this bike was a dream to work on as for the hot oil smell have you cheched that the plug on the bottom of the air box drain is in place and is not leaking oil onto that pretty new exhaust of yours?
