Hi Guys, have just purchased a 1984 510 TE in pretty original shape
Fired her up today after removing some old varnish from the tank

it looks like it has been ridden on the road a bit as its as clean as a whistle in most respects tho I see what looks like "marked parts" from the aussie 4 day. this ties in with the story that 4 te's were brought in for the 84 four day. probably only ran the bikes in completion till the new single shockers arrived and they would have been refitted with the "stuff " and flogged to the public.

it has the 40mm carb, and interestingly enough, it has extra long fork tubes which poke right up past the handlebars... weird. I will wack up some pics

here are some more piccys

check out the rear axle and chain adjuster nuts, not a mark on them weird how there is so much over hang of those tubes..is there longer 40 mm tubes? I thought they were all the same length and on the sliders and damper rods varied from TE to TX..

Yeah it will lift i straight up on 1-3 gear.
The gearing is changed to 16/48 and a custom rear 44 sprocket is being manufactured this week.
Higher gearing is not possible without changing the rear wheel to a model without the drumbrake.

The next fix is to mount a Mikuni fuelpump because im having problem with fuel starvation.
Something I didn't thought was possible on a one cylinder bike.

look at boring out your fuel tap and the carb fuel inlet through to the needle and seat, when they run on meth, they quite often do this to the fuel system, bigger diameter fuel line as well. may be easier than a fuel pump.....

This was actually my first idea, but a friend told me that I could use a Vacuum fuelpump from a snowmobile.
They have a low pressure (0,1bar) and a high flow rate 35L/h and cost only 20 bucks.

cant go wrong then.... unless the tap wont flow anymore than it does now etc

I have to measure that first.

awesome video . you still have the internal rotor ignition on it aye ? def sounds like it

bigger fuel line and filter solved this problem on my 82 cr 500 . it would go lame if i wound out through 2 3 4 . but not do it in one particular gear . guess the old owner never wound it it out . he also told me you couldnt kick start it . soon proved that wrong

on my bike the fuel tap and the spigot on the carb are both 3/8 size . well 3/8 fuel line fitted on them good . make sure ur fuel tap is clear also etc
