Try contacting Jeremy. His phone number is right on the front page of the shop.

Yup, he said he didn't have anything on my order so I went ahead and ordered again. Worked this time. Today I put the starter motor back together with the negative brush from the old one and it works great. Way better than it ever has. Must be the paint job.. Also installed my new gauge and went for a ride. CHT topped out at 200f, which seems low to me, and revs never went above 7000 or so. (45MPH max speed) Was doing burnouts to use up the old tire when the electrics shut off and the engine stopped. Saw smoke coming out from under the floorboard thing and turns out the little fused wire for all the electrics minus starter shorted on the frame and completely burned off its connector. Ended up cutting the stock battery tray and putting it back in which is what I should've done months ago when I got the battery. Wired it all back up and everything is working great again, minus the USB/voltmeter which seems to have died.. It has an inline fuse holder so I took out the fuse and it looks fine to me.   |

Did an oil change today and cleaned out the filter. Lotta little bits of crap in it. Stock rear tire still has tread left so I'm still working on that..   |

Rode for about 10 miles today. Everything seems to work well, but it tops out at like a bit over 40 at 6500RPM. Max was 50 downhill.  |

Got my gears, so now I'm just waiting on the torque sheave which should take a week+ because apparently Enviromoto was out of stock..

Also I ordered a fancy bigger battery off Jet because I had a coupon. Also got a bunch of Mtn Dew to up the price so I could get free shipping.. Took the valve cover off and the spark plug out to remove the spark plug ring, (Didn't realize I was supposed to when I put the CHT thermocouple in.) re torqued the head bolts, and did the valve gap. Then I took the fan cover off to finish up the pickup mod. (Last time I tried it I didn't get much material out because I didn't have the right Dremel bit.) Also replaced the 9g rollers with a mix of 7 and 9 for 8g average. The engine revs up to like 7200 at low speeds and settles down to 7000, before it was 6500. It's a bit more vibrate-y, but the speed on flat-ish ground is up to about 44, so I'm happy. However, after I got back home I noticed a low speed vibration that starts when the clutch engages. Dunno what that's about. Also I don't think my Powerlink with <50 miles on it should look like this..  |

Still need to clean up the wiring sometime. The bendix ringing is getting reaaally annoying. I have to put it on the center stand if it's running or else I'll go crazy. Would just replacing the bendix fix this?   |

If the bushings aren't loose then it's probably the bendix.

Went for a ride in the darkish. Lights work well, except that half the LEDs on my right front blinker don't work unless I jiggle the thing. Belt still seems to work okay. Practiced my wheelies, hard braking, and scraping the stand in corners. Also tried out my new cheapo eBay leather gloves.
My tach/hour/CHT gauge won't work off external power. The connector is wired right to the battery terminals and has voltage at the plug but the gauge still wont turn on when the coin cell is taken out. I read that it's supposed to turn on when the engine is running, but it just won't. It's fine on the internal battery, but I'd like to have that LED stay on.
EDIT: Hey, wait, is my belt the reason I can't even hit 45 right now? I do remember it being a bit faster when the belt was new, even with my 50mm kit..

Someone on here in the last couple of weeks bought a gauge and it ended up that the wires were marked wrong. That positive was negative and negative was positive. I think it might have been Raizer? |

Yeah spaz12 that was my CHT display, red wire marked DC+ on the back of the display and black marked DC- were completely backwards lol. |
