2011 TE449 Running well with factory EFI system - finally

IS IT TIME TO GIVE UP THE HUSKIES AND RIDE THE GOOD OLD TRUSTY PIMPED OUT POSTIE BIKE.

See my post a few pages back. If you have air space above the water (so there is a section of header above the water on both ends) you really don't need to seal the ends. The cold air freezes the surface of the water first, creating a bit of a plug. Then as the water trapped between the ends freezes, it expands outwards instead of upwards because it's sealed by the ends.

In my case, I did my steel header, one time in the freezer got it near perfect. Only the deepest dent was still there, but barely noticeable. Two times would have been the best but I waited too long on the project and had to get it back on the bike for my up-coming ride.

I'd go back to just slightly (1/8 - 1/2 extra) over spec'd adjustment on the air screw. Spec, I think, is 2 1/2 or 2 1/4 out. And use your JD to bump up the idle (green + blue setting) richness a little. And bump up the JD accelerator pump (red + blue setting) to almost the top. I have my red/blue set to #6.5 or 7. No flame out. Nice quick idle. Only problem I'm having is that it's running rough on the low end. I.e. at 5% throttle, cruising in 2nd/3rd.

I haven't tried it on a 2T, but when I was reading up on how to do it, I saw that some guys did their 2Ts this way. I also saw the guy on youtube who almost killed himself by heating his 2T pipe up to a nice blazing red/orange color then adding air pressure directly from an air compressor. The thing popped sending red-hot metal flying, and the header shot out of his hand, spinning, and hit the wall next to him. That's why I chose to try the freeze method.

Yea, what ever you do, think twice before using a torch at home. Send it to Tinken if you are even thinking about doing that. It'll be cheaper than having the emergency room pull out the molten shrapnel.

Can any australians here recommend any good preferably local places I could order a pcv from ? I'm looking at them online and have no other options other then from the states.

Motosportz my local bike shop mates have tryed it on a 2 stroke pipe and it did work bearing in mind the pipe is a little thinner. I have also used compressed air and a little heat on these and that worked as to much heat would cause the metal to stretch.

Which picture do you mean Ford?

The one were your bike is on the beach.

that was in tassie. St helens Nov.13

Good place Tassie and St Helens would love to do it a a tour bike. Did you go over there for a bike tour

Tell me about it, pretty thankfull for what we have here in Tassie. Australia in general is brilliant for trailriding.

do the pcv and fbw throttle removle work hand in hand or is it suggested that I replace the throttle plate when I install my pvc ?

The PCV would a great way to tune out any lean or rich points if you have any after the butterfly mod.

Tinken is working on a map for this on modded bikes. (Ones with more flow, open exhaust, head etc...)

If not heavily modified, just a slip on, you might be lucky like my own bike & be able to have it all work with just Map 3 & adjusting the TPS sensor....

That was when i went on the www.tasmanicas.com.au ride last November ...
2 days with Graham Jarvis and Alfredo Gomez through the Tassie Wilderness ...
