Well,,,, got my carb back on yesterday after cleaning it real good (outside of it at least), got the airbox back on today, race cut my wiring harness (I have some tips for doing that I'll add in), got a stripped exhaust boss fixed up, pipe sealed up real good (hopefully) and a few other small things like getting the clutch perch and lever back on, cable rerouted, throttle spring clipped, etc.
heres the harness
basically i looked at the wiring diagram and unplugged everything that has to do with the stock kill switch and lights. My bike doesnt have a lighting coil on the stator but its got the wire for it (wtf?) and all the stock lighting wires were still there. i pulled all that off, regulator included.
The stripping down is the easy part but whats the tricky part is that all the black/white wires in the harness are grounds and everyone of them go to the lighting circuit. so when you are removing them you think you dont need them completely. YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE. For the black/white wire thats coming out the CDI box (the black thing on the left side of the frame). I thought i didint need a ground hooked to it but you do. you leave the yellow/black wire coming out the CDI open,, thats what your aftermarket (in my case tether) kill switch goes to. If you ground the red/black wire it kills the ignition, so you need a tether or kill switch thats a "normally open" style switch and then when its in the "off" position it grounds the "hot" wire. Hopefully this makes sense. I'm gunna make a copy of my wiring diagram so i can draw on it or edit it in paint or something for yall. so it's more clear lol
Ok so now heres the exhaust stud threads. The last couple times i changed out my pipe i noticed my exhaust studd was pulling out of the cylinder. well i pull it out today and get this sight
so i went and grabbed a bolt with the same size/pitch of threads and a matching nut
(note, the one i used was actually a little longer than this)
and did this
the bolt was able to thread in and got decently tight before i felt like it was going to slip the threads then i put the nut on and tightend it pretty good. I figure it should hold pretty well and the pipe does NOT move now lol
so my little lady is starting to look like a bike again!!
I'm going to wait untill alll the parts i ordered are in before posting pictures of them. Make yall wait to see those carbon fiber beadlocks
LOL
