TE/TC 17 TE 150

That was big help, for sure cause it will give part numbers.

Hmmm no clutch spacing gasket.

Oh well guess plan b.

Which is to move pushrod back and see how much play there is.

New engine slave cylinder is sealed by an O ring?

Yeah, looks that way.

Oh, ordered a fatty pipe so that's coming.

Or install a rekluse brand adjustable slave cylinder.

Good imput! You know that's not a bad idea!

Expensive, but it does offer adjustability and looks cool too...haha

Got 5 good needles coming from oversees.

So takes 4-6 weeks and that's bout all I can get.

Little off topic but why don t you guys just run a Lectron carb. I did on my 2013 wr165 and no more jetting problems runs like efi, no screwing around. Really important on small bore going slow in the woods no loading up.

Hey Norm,

Got blue spring today. Installed it from screw backed all way counter clockwise. Then clockwise 2 1/2 turns.

I only had to go clockwise another 1/4.

My yellow spring from all way out was 2 1/8 turns.

Picked up a titch more gain from bottom end so I will take it!

Thanx for tip!

Oh! I think I know what is going on with my clutch.

I think fluid level was low and when on ground from crash. I pulled lever and sucked some air.

Also, My fluid was black I think from breaking in and aluminum is making fluid look dirty.

So I bled backwards till clean and also topped reservoir all way and shoved cap back on, till it ran over.

There is also room to install a 1/2 mm shim from the retaining clip.

I may order one to try. It would be the exact same one that is in there.

I still like thought of getting adjustable Rekluse one this winter.

Guys, just stuck the stock needle 43-74 in my carb with a number # 5 slide.

I am running 35 pilot and it's nice and crisp. Also, have a 470 main in and can tell it is lean up top.

So I think if you drill minimum of two 1 inch holes in your air box.

Get a number 5 slide, 6 BFY 43-74 needle, middle clip, start with a 40 pilot and work down and try 500 main and maybe have to go up?

Watch your plug cause I was hot with 470 main. Reason for this is the slide is adding more air.

Oh and put yellow stock spring in. Definately get a blue spring on Norms advice.

Back at clutch this am.....

Took cover back off to see if losing fluid.....

Fluid looks dark again with grey tint. Did some riding last night around our place.

So pulled everything back apart and flushed everything clean.

Re assembled and ran 1/2 bottle of brake fluid back through it.

I will check it again in a week but think fluid got dirty as heck from it breaking in.

Working like a charm again.

Thoughts on brake fluid vs mineral oil? I have a full thing of mineral oil, thinkin about tryin it out vs the brake fluid.

This is brushed stainless steel badge I made that will be spot welded on my FMF fatty pipe.

Soon as I get it. Going to blue it with a torch and season it with gear oil while it's hot.

Here is a try, shot in the dark?

Just as an experiment. Going to get a Honda valve shim. 1.20 mm and stick between clutch push rod and clutch pressure plate pusher. They are hardened for valve adjustments, come in all different thickness.
Plus they are $7 ish. Going to see if that makes my push rod release that clutch more without slipping?
These things come in sizes plus over +2mm. Might be good way to fine tune it?

Clutch works good now that it has been flushed and bleed good. Also, dumped mobil 1 oil and filled with Rotella T6. Don't think the oil switch made a difference but will see how it shifts.

I just want to make darn sure this releases on starting line, with bike in first gear.

When the sun and moon aligns, then you hit your estart while cracking throttle little. With Bike in first gear, it hole shots very easy.
If clutch drags then the estart drags and delays you big time.

I'm real curious to see now what the fatty pipe is going to do?

I have way more existing bottom end over stock and way more existing top end/over rev.... Just hope it adds more to my existing overall band......

Always thinking you are....

Ha! Prob too much!

Got one more race ( team Harescramble) with son. Then bike comes apart for winter.

I have a lot of ideas on where I want to take it.

If got time, I might finish up least one of my vintage bikes.

So ? If guy has .42 front springs in. Then wants to test a .44 then a .46 combo.

Couldn't I just get a pair of .46 springs, then mix a .42 and .46 together to come up with a .44 average?

Then if still lil soft, just stick pair of .46's in?

That would save me buying two pairs of springs.

Been looking for a Xplor fork manual and can't find one???????

I don't like taking stuff apart and reassembling without a manual.

Maybe hit up Layton. He lives out in geneseo and does suspension work at very reasonable prices. He just did a 2017 300 xcw with xplor forks so he may be able give you some advice.

Yes you can do that
