Didn't touch it. I'm familiar with how fussy setting it is.

I'm impressed. Not many can live on Coke, Moon pies, and Red Bull. In the olden days, it had to be RC.. Red Bull hadn't been invented yet. Oh. Nice going at Daytona..

"What's a Henway?"

I hate it when I don't understand what is happening. I just finished going through the Mighty Scura. Most of the tank off check list, plus one of Scud's nice fuel lines, and a new fuel line from the right injector to the PRV. I had to remove that fitting from the injector so I wouldn't break something, but that is the only thing I changed over there.. oh.. unplugged the injector and TPS. Finished everything up, pushed it out in the hanger, and it started right up and did it's lumpy idle thing. Started to ride it up to the Guzzi Garage, and it stopped dead as soon as I gave it some throttle. Hmmm. Tried it again. Same thing. As soon as it went to 2000 rpm, it died dead as a mackerel. I've *never* heard of this before. Yeah, it's repeatable. Hooked up Guzzidag, and looked for faults. Nada. Hooked up my tester to the TPS, and it wasn't where I set it last. Not terribly far off, though. It was about 175 mv. Moved the throttle a little off idle, and the tester said OL. Can someone explain this to me? I'm *assuming* the TPS suddenly magically went bad? TIA..

henway..

All I've ever used in u joints is Mobil 1 synthetic grease. It's what is in my grease gun..

More than your average rebuild..

You may be right. Honestly, I don't care. I like them, and if they eat the rotors, I'll put new rotors on it eventually. For sure, you don't want to run them on cast iron rotors. They *really* eat them.

I'm jealous, Scud. Thanks for the vicarious biking and baking, though.

I like EBC HH pads front and rear.

I don't know how they are making these springs. I had no problem holding plus or minus 2 degrees on the angle, and plus or minus .005" on the diameter, though. Once set up, a production run should be *very* consistent. The few Scud sent me aren't terribly consistent, but they'll work. Whatever..

Honestly, I expect the name to change to "Jones fireworks sales.." Their inability to make a spring to print (twice) is hard to fathom. That said, the million cycles plus spring looks the same as before testing. They'll work.

Why not? I have reports from people running V11 headers and crossovers on Daytona and Sports, so there is contradiction. You have to remember that Paul is a very experienced fabricator. It might be such as it can be made to fit.

Thruxton = boring. Sorry, but that is my evaluation.. kind of Japanese feeling.

That *does* look like good stuff. I tried a witches brew of dry moly and chain lube on a clutch spline. After a few hundred miles (don't ask) I looked again, and it was gone.

That *might* be overkill, Docc..

Me, too. I've let that one slide..

Thanks for the research, John.

No, it went well over 1 million cycles. We went out to a brewpub for beer and dinner. By the time we got home that night, it was over the 1,022,400 by roughly 25000 cycles. I think we can put this problem to rest..

To add to the above, there *is* wear. I'm not familiar with the forks in the greenie, but if they work the same way as the Mighty Scura and the Centauro, it definitely needs changed. It will be black from aluminum particles. A sealed cartridge fork, maybe not so much.

In 4 more hours, the production UPS (Unbreakable Pawl Spring) will have shifted 1,022,400 times. It will easily do it. I think it would do another million.. At any rate, I'm going to stop the test.

One of my favorites.

Me, too, Docc.

Latest scoop I've heard is the V85 is planned for production in the spring. Of 19.

I have some drive splines on a cnc milling machine that I tried Honda Moly. It disappeared in no time. Truly.
