It is through our own human addiction that we take part in activities that make us feel something different than we're used to. By positioning ourselves within the comfort of discomfort and the repetition of change, whether it's designed or coincidence, we find the experiences that remind us of the reasons why we're here. This is an exploration into the mental phenomena of the human experience. Please explore the ARCHIVES at the bottom of this page. kclickenger@c-jr.com

Supermoto

Well I still haven't completed the supermoto-switch-over, and I'm still battling a bit of fine-tuning to correct for whatever the hell the PO was doing with this bike.. but overall so far so good..

I mounted up the 17" Excel wheels & modified the chain guide in the process.. the clearance between the rear wheel and the chain guide couldn't have been more than 1/4".. I think I bought myself another 1/4" at least, so I think I can stop worrying about it..

Finally got the pilot jet installed that I think will be the right one.. if not I'm only 1/2 step away, but there's still something else going one because it doesn't like to idle consistently.. It'll be just fine when cold, but once it warms up it seems like it leans out since the idle rpm will run 500 higher than it should be.. It'll pull (hard!) through the gears all day long with no flat spots or stumbles.. so I know the jetting is pretty right-on, but there's got to be something else.. air leak, float level, valve clearances possibly..

Who knows.. in the meantime, enjoy these:
