Very cool, Scubadubbers.  Thanks for the info and for posting.

I will now take to finger-wagging while I watch the temp gauge crawl like molasses.

Heya, FYI, I rode with a pretty open group last weekend via a monthly Meetup clinic/ride called Doc Wong’s Riding Clinic.

Run by an older racer and Chiropractor, he starts off with a short lecture on a riding topic, focused on helping newer riders develop better/safer riding habits. Then an open…[Read more]

It’s 15°f and dark. But I was just to excited.

Totally agree with this.

I’ve picked up a cheap, Chinese titanium header-cat delete, that I plan to finish out with Fresco’s Ultrashorty exhaust. Keeping the dB killer in place.

But first step first, the fueling HAS to be addressed, at least basic tuning like Coober, PowerTRONIC, DynoJet, etc.

Also, exhaust is only one variable. You can only…[Read more]

+1 for the Coober ECU.  I have it and like what it does for the bike.

Your exhaust setup is going to come down to what you want the bike to sound like and how it performs.

I would suggest the Werkes cat delete with the Fresco Ultra Shorty exhaust.  It’s what I ended up loving after multiple other exhaust setups.  It looks very cl…[Read more]

It does have a coolant thermostat.  It is located behind the ignition coil on the left side.

Thanks for weighing in.

Makes sense that it would be a longer slog to reach operating temp when it is cold out. I was more concerned about the oil actually coming up to temp, tho the gauge is probably measuring coolant, not oil temp, so maybe the oil is okay. But it’s properties are inhibited when it is cold.

More curious if anyone knows if…[Read more]

When is stripped the dash apart, it is apparent that moisture is getting inside.

With modern electronic clocks that have chip sets inside, any moisture that allows tracking can give rise to all sorts of strange things happening !

Stripping the dash, cleaning with electrical contact cleaner and ensuring that no moisture can get in should cure it.…[Read more]

I am very glad about this site because I got great information from it.

yep! here is mine!!

I LOVEEEE ITTTT!!!!!!! it had given my 701 a completely new feeling! its AWESOME!

I think about with lm coober ecu and a chamber delete

Yes, mine arrived yesterday. Surprise, surprise.

Long ordeal. Hope it’s worth it.

I  am keen for one !!

Nice!

Some good points here, thanks for posting them.

Where the Loctite is concerned, you can use the 242 type as long as you thoroughly clean all oil off both the screw/bolt and the internal thread. I use Loctite’s own spray cleaner to do this and promote good adhesion. Then allow time for the Loctite to set before using the bike.

The 243 can be…[Read more]

In cold weather, say below 5 degC, my bike will take a good 15 mins of gentle warm-up riding (40mph max) to warm up the coolant. Even then, the temp gauge hovers around the 3 bar reading.

In the summer (20 degC or more) it warms up very fast and shows 4 bars on the gauge.

I think this is normal operation. The temp gauge on these bikes seems to…[Read more]
