tgbanshee Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) well the top end kit came in today and i just finished assembly on it...took it for my first ride....the thing is pretty fast although i didnt get onto it much...i cruised around for a lil bit to break it in...im gonna order the pipes in the next week or so...gotta sell my 400ex first...it runs good but needs some carb tuning....previous owner screwed with the TORS screw and carb screws....anyone know a good starting point to get it running from....it doesnt want to idle and backfires now and then....i made sure the carb bowls are on right carbs and the tors are in the right carbs... where do i get the timing plate from??....ive found pretty good deals on the T5's on ebay new for around 550.. unless you guys know a cheaper place....thanks again I bought all my parts from these three places: http://www.ebay.com/ http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/ http://www.cascadeinnovations.net/ I got a bunch of stuff from eBay, you can get some pretty good deals off there. I just picked up a Lonestar locking axle nut for $34, retail is $110 on it. Lonestar's stuff seems to be all pretty expensive but the quality seems to be worth the money. If you want to save money, get the Ricky Stator adj. timing plate or if you want a really nice billet one, get the Pro Design. Also get a Clymers manual if you don't already have it, that is a MUST, tells you pretty much how to take apart and reassemble everything on the bike. After you get your pipes on and re-jet, I would do a plug chop to make sure your jetting is right. Plug Chop BTW I live in Flemington and go to school at Rutgers so if you need help working on anything let me know, I'm not too far down the road from you. Good luck and welcome to the HQ!
