OK, just been sitting for a long while. Not exactly riding weather over the past few months, plus I killed the battery in the GS so Bianca had to donate hers.

I plan to clean the carbs and change the oil by the end of April: Bob's BMW will have a Dyno on site and I want to try a few different maps on the TCIP-4. Grin

Yea, the only things that needed replacing were the headlight, brake master pee-cup, and a mirror. She crashes well, especially if she lands on top of me!  laughingdp

Oh, and props to the DC Popo for the zip ties! applause
Did you get arrested? Roll Eyes J/K - hit me as ironic, but I guess used as cuffs, or to hold stuff on an ailing bike, they're solving a problem.

Glad you're OK and the pics from your most recent ride look good.

If I put a side car on Bianca, both nonno and nonna would constantly hassle me for a ride! laughingdp



As for finishing.... I'm thinking of making a carbon fiber tail section!  Evil laughingdp Evil

Thanks, and those zip ties are awesome! I released the lock on them with a flat head screw driver and I've kept them just in case (knock on wood!)  Wink

obviously the flux capacitor was not hooked up to get the proper 1.21 gigawatts it was supposed to get!

Was that it after-burn popping on the wind down? Sounded pretty sharp....

yea, plenty of popping on decel, especially during the first run, she wasn't running well for some reason...  Huh? felt fine on the ride to and from Bob's BMW tho, aside from the lack of (high end power) she runs fine, plenty of low end torque  Evil

As soon as I have time I'll check the spark plug gaps. Eventually (time, time, time) I'd like to take the heads off to give them a cleaning as well, check valve gaps and change the belts...

What power numbers would satisfy you given the current config and state of tune?
