No key, just the remote control gizmo, like the wife’s new Landy!

luckily my fob battery died when I was home, but unknown till after I replaced the bike battery for no reason

One advantage of keyless ignition I guess Stig, it's now always in my jeans' pocket!  (Must check to see if my Shad box will snap locked - 99% of the time mine is unlocked!)

Until the fob battery goes dead

I've never had E10 cause any problems, run it in everything except my chainsaw, for that, I run VP 50:1 premix, 94 octane, non ethanol (not really gasoline either, naptha?) My small engines do get premium 93 octane, I keep 93 in my 5gallon jug that fuels my power sports and power equipment, sometimes my K-Pipe


What happened to Amoco Super Premium ?

« on: May 18, 2024, 09:23:14 PM »
sounds like you have a vacuum leak, not much to remove and block off, really won't gain you anything

use some kind of aerosol carb cleaner, with engine running, spray a mist around the vacuum lines, when the engine picks up speed, you have found your leak, also check for gasket leaks at base of carb and manifold

there is a damaged one on ebay, in Italy, but shipping is 4x,   the damage is about same as mine, I refabricated the tab, as I said, with Gorilla tape, 3 years ago, still holding

3 more weeks of PT and I graduate. throwing my leg over a beach ball sitting atop a 5 gallon bucket is a good exercise for regaining the ability to ride a bigger bike, higher seat height, get a bigger beach ball, if ya don't quite make it, no big deal, the ball and bucket go tumbling away, set em back up try again

check the routing of the vacuum line, but I believe it opens a petcock on the fuel line, swap the vacuum petcock out for an old fashion manual petcock, sure, block off the vacuum line

my ZS190 has a cone filter, but also a 28mm carb

glad you're back in the saddle, again!


I honestly thought I was due for a hip replacement or surgery to remove bone spurs. After my ride yesterday, I moved a small amount of firewood (15-20 cubic feet at most) and I'm in pain again, massage at PT this afternoon will help that

General Discussion / First ride of year on my K-Pipe
« on: May 06, 2024, 11:30:17 PM »
been looking forward to riding, been in physical therapy for a couple months with the goal of throwing my leg over my motorcycles without a step up. Successful, the first 4-5 weeks didn't seem like I was really getting anywhere, last 2 sessions, throwing my leg over a huge beach ball atop a 5 gallon pail, was my workout

It worked, I easily get my leg over the K-Pipe's relatively high seat for the size bike it is, I think I can even mount my V-Strom now

the Zongshen 190cc fired right up as if it was already warmed up, and without any choke or throttle, I had forgotten how much quicker it is over the original Kymco 125cc. I rode around town (rural roads) and hour or so, till I was reminded that I want to change the saddle

my AK550 that I thought was on a battery tender all winter was on a GFI circuit that popped, battery completely flat, I have another on the shelf, a Yuasa GYZ series, I have a flat SAE pigtail for battery tender access, but I'm gonna add a remote battery jump post kit, BS removing windshield, mount, front panel, probably dead battery in my fob too.

Side By Side / Re: High RPMs low Speed issue
« on: May 06, 2024, 01:24:43 AM »
sounds like an issue, not familiar with the 700, is it just hi/low like the 450i, or a 3 speed?
I get nearly 30mph in low range, and 48 in high and I can do it pulling a 1000lb toe behind backhoe

another project of mine that hasn't happened yet, I want to replace the stock saddle with a solo saddle, and custom rack behind it.

my more immediate project is installing the steering damper I bought for it, with my 190cc engine, frame stiffness has become a concern, just got it out of barn and started her up for the first time since October, this afternoon
