KX Guru Racing

So, I did a little more testing and added a Moose charging coil.
Don't know how well it works just yet but I'll update as I go.
I didn't know it but the moose coil requires that you remove 3-4 mm of the mounting posts.
Thanks for the heads up Motorrad.
So far I can't seem to get any voltage out of it but I do have an adjustable voltage regulator so I'm sure some tuning is in order
Rode it a little harder today so here is the temp recording.

TEMPS 6-4-13.PNG

your numbers are still oddly low. but I attibute it to being on the street.

my bike (evans coolant so add 20+ F) on the street, if I am WOT for a block, grabbing gears, will peak at 220.

Doing the same in the dirt. will peak me MUCH higher.


Only thing I can figure, in the dirt, its the instant wheel spin, so Higher RPM, etc...


the 3 bikes I tracked at dove springs 3 weeks ago... were also MUCH warmer than that.

even the owners of all 3 said "man i can feel the heat off them whiel running down the sand wasH). then I showed them what temps they run.. and they all went

Ended up being sick today so I won't do any more testing till I get back.
I need to see if I did the water pump mod on this bike.
If I did, I will remove the shims and test it again.

Finally got the new jetting in and installed it...
Way better.
Thanks for the recommendation Motorrad.
Also, installed new gearing in 15/42.
1st gear still revs out quick as expected but it is better.
2nd gear is a lot more usable but still loves to wheelie.
3rd gear will wheelie if you want it to.
4th gear? Don't know, I haven't really tried yet.
5th gear, heck no...

After changing the jetting and the gearing I expected a bit of a change in water temp.
Today wasn't the best day to check, it's 59F and 45% humidity.
All this was city driving but not a lot of stop and go.
My max head temp was 152F and the max water temp 131F.
Average head temp was approximately 142F and the average water temp was 120F.
I wouldn't put a lot into these numbers as it was a bit chilly in my T-shirt riding around.
I would like to say that riding this thing around puts a smile on my face and I know it's just a matter of time before I get a ticket

I ordered some Warp 9 SM wheels today.
Should take about 2 weeks or so before they ship.
Warp 9 does not list them as a option but they will make them.
They said they don't get a lot of orders for them.
Understandable, who else want's to ride one on the street besides men of steel

I just finished my reed and carb boot mods.
So..... it's time to bolt them on and add a 41mm carb for a top end boost.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow so I can burn some knobs off

Today I installed my V-Force 2 reed at Hi-Tension setting and a PWK 41mm Pro Series Keihin carburetor.
Starting jetting:
Pilot: 55
Main: 168
Did I notice any difference?
Just a tiny tiny bit
No worries, it's very rich at the moment so I will need to figure the jetting out
Ignore the yellow wire, that is for a later post .....

Temps were all very cool...

The wheels came in today.
Now it's time to get some rubber on these babies...

carb: 41mm
Pilot 52
Main 170
Needle DGH 3rd position
Slide 7
Still seems a bit rich so I'll be working on that a bit.
Although it's really picking up the top end.
