Our kart track just got shot down for sumo activities because it apparently was against its permitted use.  Bummer. Glad I didn't pick up the sumo I was looking at though. |

Well, I was feeling a bit under whelmed by the SMC front brake - but some knob twiddling is making life better. The PO had everything set to the 'Sport' settings for forks and shock - which reading and adjustment have shown me are just too harsh. Sport is 10 clicks back from all-in and the front brake was felling pretty sad and the ride was harsh - one could feel too much of the little bumps for having all that suspension travel. Backed it off to 15 clicks, the 'Standard' setting for the forks and 13 for both com and reb. and 13 for the shock. Nicer ride and to front brake does a much better job now... ahh. Now... I need a new rear tire and tube as I got something big and nasty though mine  |

ahhh...perhaps they may have but not show a 17'' application...I inquired with them a while back for the Cagiva since it is tubed and mentioned the Ducati SC Market as a potential suitor to vend at and they said they were in a process already looking into development at the time... |

Well got the 690 out for a decent 2nd romp. Last go I was using the manual recommended 'sport' settings... What rubbish they are. Bike felt harsh and I was wondering if something was wrong with the front brake on my previous sporting ride. Sport is 10 clicks (backed out from all in) on Reb and Comp for the forks and shock on the Enduro. As said way too harsh - this last weekend I set it to the 'standard' 16 click setting in front and 14 in the rear. Oh so much better, took a much of the harshness away and the front brake is so much better now. Might ad a click or two back to the rebound to ensure it doesn't po-go back too quickly - but I'm on the right track. Installed the EVO1 airbox lid (open) and remapped. Couldn't really tell too much difference between that and my previous mapping effort. Well aside from the significant increase in the noise from the intake. Other fiddling - new fan temp swtich came in. Lower set point than the stocker which lets it run up to 8 or 10 bars before kicking the fan on. Wrapping the exhaust. In it's short time in my stable the header on the 690 has singed my kevlar jeans and left a couple light melty spots on my leathers No wonder folks make an additional heat shield for the damn thing. |

And the story continues
The cam chain tensioner on a lot of these bikes - including yours boys I think - is know to be lacking. I installed a manual one last night. Gotta set the engine to TDC as part of the process - pulled th valve cover to do so and found the bearing on the valve rocker was showing the easrly signs of being one from the 'bad batch' that a lot of the 690 bikes got. So a new set is on order... bah.
