So anyway
We had to get the synchronization right, so we put in a vacuum pipe and used epoxy.
Making it from scratch was a pain, so we went with a modified Kitaco.
I thought about whether vulcanized adhesive might work, but we didn’t have time for that, so we scrapped the idea.
From the exhaust sound it was going brrrrr~ ★ Sure enough, the synchronization was way off.
When we pushed on it, we heard a “clunk clunk” sound, so
The drive sprocket must be loose ★
RK uses external bolt locks, but it’s best to add a lock washer.
That’s how much tighter it got ★
The GSF had 115 N written on it, so we verified it with a torque wrench.
The noise went away.
Then we went for a test ride out to Togashi Engineering
And the shift feel was really bad,
So I was thinking maybe we should swap out the return spring and ratchet~
Pondering this in the cold north wind, we headed back to the shop
It was hitting and occasionally catching, so something was definitely off.
Hmm
We moved the top and bottom each 5 mm to create clearance
And the thought crossed my mind, “Yeah, 75 is the way to go~”
And we actually had a 75 in our limited inventory ★
But the rod is long and I’d like to swing it one more notch to the right, but we ran out of time
Grinding the shaft would be easy, but if it’s original,
I don’t want to touch it, so maybe we’ll cover it with a “Type 3″…
We also shortened the throttle cable inner length.
