Also I've been reading up on jet works flow control valves. Would it be a good idea to add one for acceleration? I can always wait and test without first.

I have tested my compression, it was 125-130 across the board when I bought it last may, and I checked it every 5 or 6 rides and it stayed there all summer, until I blew a lower rod bearing lol. I...

Would the 40mm vs 38mm carbs from an SLTX make a difference? Or should I stay with the 40mm set up? I know the SLTX's had 38's with accelerator pump. I believe later SLX models had 40's with...

I have the stock carbs from the 97 SL1050, the 40mm 2 jet carbs without accelerator pump. I would really like to find a rack with accelerator pump to fix the lack of low end acceleration.

I have...

I don't see anything about it in the link. It has a section about re-assembling a three cylinder engine but the one they use is a fuji engine an doesn't mention hardly anything about the domestics.

Yes it is in my paper Clymer shop manual. It specifically points out the chamfering of bottom edge of the exhaust port only for 1050 engines.

Anyone??

What happened to the cooling rail... LOL that ain't right. Nice score though at least the hull looks clean, especially for being free.

I see. I will be sure to check that when I get it all put back together.

Also, I'm getting my cylinders bored out to match my new top end, I know there's a port chamfering specs that are special...

Can you explain squish? I've heard the term used but just not familiar with what it means or how to check it. Thanks

Northern Crankshaft does seem like a quality option. WSM has reman cranks for sale, but they're out of stock right now. Their price listed is $410, but it says $300 core charge, which makes sense. I...

I've seen a fair amount of people using carbon tech reeds in 1050's with good results, would that be a good way to go??

Also, I've got some high compression heads on order from a guy that is...

Hot seat domes are pretty rare aren't they? I was thinking maybe Boyesen Power reeds too, has anyone swapped reeds? I had good luck with the Power reeds on my 750. Anything else?

I’ve got a 97 SL 1050 that is getting a complete rebuild this winter, all internals. It was completely stock before, but I am looking for any mods to up the performance a bit. Let me hear any and all...

My SL 1050 gave up on me on what turned into the last ride of the season. The weather was getting cold anyway. She blew the center rod bearing, it's got about half an inch of vertical play on the...

My buddy’s 96 Waveblaster 2 760 just started running poorly this week, and it turned out to be 145 psi on the mag cylinder, 30 on the pto. So I’m doing a top end rebuild on it. I have a lot of...

Has 125-130 psi on each cylinder. But I found several broken reeds, and 2 petals gone from the center cylinder, which would explain why it wouldn't run lol

I never found out if it was running or not. The plugs do have good brown color on them except the center one is just much less color from not hitting all the time obviously. What should I try next?...

My buddy bought my 95 SL 750 from me, and it ran great when he rode it with us, as I sold it to him in perfect running condition. Couple days later his family took it out without him and forgot to...

Haha. That was a pretty stupid question. I was more so wondering if it needed to be unplugged from anywhere, but that works too

As for the thin black wire you mentioned, how do I go about eliminating that?

The seal looks like it’s in great shape. I did notice the bolts that hold the two halves of the box together were not as tight as I thought they should have been, so that probably wasn’t helping to...

Opened the electrical box, and there was a little water in it. So that is currently drying out. Also, my CDI has the handwritten part number 4010447 on it, so that means it had the updated ignition...

Anyone??
