Good to hear, Randy. I'm tempted to truck my 3xv over to Posey County. Some of the best country roads ever.

The biggest issue for all us riders is, "we must not put ourselves in the E-Room."

I'm sure you were exhibiting "polite motoring"*, but my goal would be to test mods made for the track. That's pretty selfish.

That flat spot will go away once you change out the ignition box on your SP. Are you still running stock pipes? I'm too lazy to read your threads. Just curious.

There's a lot on your bike to be "unlocked".

My best. Stay safe.

Ran without the slightest issue. There is a bit of a flat spot that varies between 7000 and 8000. But pulls through no problem, and gets better as speed increases.

Check the PV mechanism and cables are moving freely. That sounds like they are snagging then popping open/closed

Thanks guys  (-P)

Is there anywhere I can find out when the powervalves start to open on a 3XV-10 ignition?
I have a 3XV-80....but need to stock up on some jets before I play around with that.

As a side note.....I got my RZ350 out in the sun also.
I have owned this bike for 35 years now....still screams when kicked.

Nice in the sun! The bodywork looks in great condition. The 10 info is in the attached excel file. Check out the 'Sugo Cdi for borut " thread for background. All the CDI's were mapped out toward the end.

Thank you  (-P)
I have a few weeks off work forced by the state, so I will dig into the TZR a little and see what I can do.
Might try playing with the 3XV-80 and SPR airboxes...
Also have some needles on their way for my RZV project, which still needs some final tuning at the bottom end, for more useful stop and go riding.

I might have two more bikes that run properly after all this is over... :o

The post is holding up my progress on the RZV....
But I did get my HEL lines on the TZR as well as the Nissin front calipers. Everything rebuilt front and back along with HH pads....one finger stoppies now. Only issue is that the front pads are bigger and contact more of the rotor....so that is the only part of the rotor making contact with the pads until they get broke in a bit more.

75 degrees in November
But cold is going to be here by tomorrow this time....and snow not far away.
Probably the last time for a chance to ride, and the 3XV2 got the short straw.
Bike has worked without the slightest issue all year, and my 40 mile loop around the lakes and rivers in the area today....will hopefully keep me satisfied for the next 4 months or so.
Over 700km on it this year....not much, but I have other bikes I have to keep limbered up as well.

For a bike that I bought as non running junk....it has worked out pretty good.
One day I'll have all the bits, to do it right.

This one certainly turned out nice :) Do you winterize your bikes in some way?

jwalk3r

Busa1300 - nice garage and bike collection!!! That is the way to do it for sure. Awesome!
When I'm next in IN I'm dropping by for a beer ;-)

Good question on the over-wintering - is there a good thread on this?

Same down here, Randy. It was 82F on Monday. Mid 50's today. Unfortunately, my 3xv is dissembled waiting on a full crank diagnosis. My natural heated workshop is comfortable, however. The 3xv2 is looking good. Hope your ride was joyous.

Here's to a few more good days this year.

I keep them clean as much as possible after every ride.
The only thing I do with most of my bikes is either drain the tank completely, or put some Seafoam in them.

I keep the garage at about 50 degrees throughout the winter, and if there is any kind of early heat wave....I'll open the garage door and fire a few up just to keep them freshly oiled.

And the garage is always open to two stroke lovers if ever traveling through (-P)

Hope you get your 3XV back together without any issues Steve.
You need a good year where you just ride the bike, and the only maintenance is changing out your worn race tires throughout the year

That seafoam motor treatment sounds like good stuff, do you only use it in the winter lay up?

busa1300

I use it a few times a year in just about everything that uses gas....just for peace of mind on a cleaner fuel system.
I used it to clean out my throttle body/air meter/injectors in a worn out Mustang GT I bought....cleaned it right out....as well as one of my kids cars.

The spiel refers to it as a " moisture controller" would it have any effect on the moisture/ethonol scenario do you reckon? Think ill get some, so if you add that to ethonol free fuel you could leave the bije over winter with full tank and carbs?
