trickedcarbine Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 I think I would consider swapping to a big bore pipe. The CPI’s were definitely keeping it hot as they’re pretty much past their capabilities at 500CC, let alone a ported super cub. The switch to Shearers will help, but after riding for a while in the dunes I bet you’re still fighting heat. They will be sweet for short rides and dyno runs, but a race gas motor with timing over 500cc is gonna be much happier with a big bore pipe for longer rides.

kevshiau Posted November 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 I will pay more attention to my temp next time I go out. I didn't really go on any long day rides last time but it seemed to be holding up ok at night. I might have to bite the bullet and switch to big bore if it starts heating up. Do you know how it will effect the power in the motor? My lights went out went out at the hill on the trip so I had to ride back without lights. I wasn't able to find any broken wires, maybe the stator went out? I was thinking about doing the DC conversion so that I can install some LED head lights and maybe a light bar, but heard mixed reviews on them.

gusto Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Stator failure could be the cause of some of your problems. Buy OEM. DC conversion with JL Engineering battery pack is a nice upgrade, don’t exceed 70 watts. someone in the wanted section was looking to trade big bore shearers for small bore, I’d jump at it if they’re still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshiau Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 I have been trying to find a 22x8 10 paddle tire but came across a 22x10 10 paddle. Has anyone had any experience with this tire in the dunes? Is it worth trying out or should I keep looking for 22x8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshiau Posted Wednesday at 04:45 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:45 PM (edited) I ended up converting my gas to E85 and got it tuned. I haven't taken it out yet, but I can already tell it is a night and day difference from what it was before. I told the tuner I just wanted a safe and conservative tune, it dynoed at 112 HP. I have some big bore pipes on the way, it should free up a couple more hp and help keep the engine cooler as suggested by trickedcarbine. Turns out my stator was ok, it might be my light/kill switch. He helped me hook up a Milwaukee battery to small light bar in the front, and I will try to replace the switch to see if that will fix my problem with my headlights Edited Wednesday at 04:46 PM by kevshiau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:53 PM HJR could t get you tuned correctly? Why switch fuels? Who did the tune? Where the dyno located?, been wanting to dyno one of my bikes. 8 rear rims in my opinion are way better. The tens look nice, but don’t work as well for me.

kevshiau Posted Wednesday at 06:50 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:50 PM I took it down to HJR 4-5 times and he couldn’t get it right. It’s a 2 hour drive for me to San Diego and I was just tired of taking it down to him. Motor ran like shit and was not happy or impressed with it at allI switch because e85 is wayyy cheaper than 110 and it keeps my motor cooler. I got my bike tuned and dynoed with Mike at so cal racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted Wednesday at 09:15 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:15 PM SD 2.5 hours from me I get that. Nice. At least you got it dialed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialblend07 Posted Thursday at 06:47 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:47 PM How the fuck HJR stays in business is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago what was the issue? Just needed a carb tune? What did HJR work on or think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshiau Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Mike switched out my carbs, adjusted timing and clutch. Not sure if there was anything else. I took my bike to HJR when I blew my old motor (7 mil, stock cylinders, blaster pistons). He built my new motor and put it back into the bike. I forgot to add, I will be switching my front sprocket to 16 tooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
