'08 Keeway F-Act

[captincvmn]

I shouldn’t have gone to look at T2’s 0-XX times. Now I know how slow I really am. I better look at some stock 4t times before I feel too sick.

Hey ho my fellow Keeway tuner


I just bought a Tachometer,, but cant remember what wire to connect it to :/

I remember the original display had a RPM.. But after I modified my wirering I forgot to take notice in that..

I hope you can help


Im using the D connection method..

Wow that's complicated,I had a battery powered tacho you just wrapped the "sensor wire" around the ignition coil wire and it got there,I "think" you need power and earth and wrap the sensor around the coil wire,best to have a child or spouse hold it all while you take notes

I’ll look tonight. I didn’t make a picture of my notes for what color went where.

I have my bearing stand, now I have wheel weights. Maybe in a week or two I’ll have smooth riding?

I found my notes from last time and I did not write down the tach wire. However, there was only wire from the plug not being used and that’s the grey wire. I believe the grey wire was the tach input.

Thx alot man In my notes I had written the grey wire to be the fuel gauge.. But will do some testings later today when I get my new cylinderkit installed..

Took out my plug, changed temperature sending unit, reassembled dashboard and finally put the screws back into the top piece. Had to swap out gauge also, plugs were different on sender. I think plug looks ok. I got a new plug to try. Temperatures are higher with new sending ring terminal probe. Metal is thicker on it AND I didn’t bend the crap out of it trying to make it fit into the plug well.

Mechanical advantages can be advantageous.

It’s big. Really big. I believe 134mm. I’m removing as much as I dare for figment. The case itself is done. That was the easy part. The cover on the other hand, that’s significantly tougher. I had the case done and thought, “No big deal, why doesn’t everybody do this?”  But then I started on the cover. I’ve broken through in several spots now. I’m kinda tempted to take it to a local guy who’s arm hurts from patting his own back and having him weld new larger aluminum structure to the outside edge so I can simply cut out the rubbing part completely. I have not given up though. I will get by….(now sing that Grateful Dead song)

Mark, grind, check, witness mark, marker on the witness marks, clamp to recycle bin, grind, check, mark, grind….

There are covers that are better for big ass pulleys. Some have more room stock and don't need much work. These days, covers are harder to find at a reasonable price than I ever recall though. The ATV covers are one that are often larger, but they may also be deeper. Deeper means the shaft won't go into the cover bearing as much.

That's a lot of work. Hopefully the wheelies will be worth it.
What bike did you get the torque drive from?

[captincvmn]

It is a lot of work but I knew going in it would be. The pulley came from Mr. Ott. I can’t leave the reply to check messages but I believe he said a Piaggio?

[captincvmn]

Had my first walk of shame with the new belt setup. I knew it was going to happen though. I had the pulley “darn close” so I figured I’d let it self clearance the remaining bit. I made it 1/4 mile and the TD got hung up on the case and stalled forward progress. I shut it off and walked back.
