As much as I love tinkering with things, very seldom does something actually come together right the first time. Today may have been the exception. I spent yesterday running all over gods green earth looking from the right bit and I was beginning to think it maybe futile. After 45 miles of driving through suburbia and 4 stores (2 two of which were Sears) I was able to find the bit! It ended up being at a mom & pop run True Value hardware store which was recommended to me by a sales guy as Sears (and 200 feet from the first place I went). Since they had a few of them I pick up some extra (look for a post in the ‘For Sale’ section) because they can be so hard to find.
Anyway…
Found some time this morning to get things together to make the adjustments. I had watched the video (thanks Rupes) so I knew what to look for. The initial marking was in the middle at idle but did move to upper mark until ~2k RMP. A tap here, a and tap there and the next thing I know the damn thing is at the middle mark at 1200RPM and moves up at 1400 RPM! (Ok, so it was actually about 3 minutes of tapping) I tightened it down and check it again… Same thing. Too Easy.
Has it made a change? I have no idea! I probably won’t have a chance to ride until sometime during the week. Oh well, least I know the TPS is calibrated correctly. Also for shits and giggles I changed the setting on my ATRE so gears 1 thru 4 are mapped to 6th this time.
