    I have a lectron on my 86 auto and I love it! I never ride the bike with the stock carb on it though so I can't make a comparison between the two but the lectron will be staying in the auto that's for sure

    I had the 430 air cooled out at the local track for a rip yesterday.
    Bike was a blast to ride around the track.
    My wife got a few good pics for me.

    I did make it a touch leaner for the third ride, my plug was black.
    The idle screw was only a 1/2 turn out to get a warm low idle. Moved the needle a 1/2 turn out and main fuel in a 1/4 turn. Idle screw now sits at 1 1/2 out now like it should be on the tunning guide. New plug in it and went out to the mountains yesterday. Had a good long ride in the mud and snow and all.

    Went way back

    Fresh restore finished tonight. 1977 CR390. Started on the first full kick but the clutch slips so back in I go. Previous owner looped it and mangled the rear loop, so I cut it off, bent it up, and matched an 1980 seat to it. The Ohlins were a tight fit but hopefully they'll be worth it. Never had a pair before. 2008-01-01 13.28.17.jpg
