Side stand control unit??? That is electronic with a scr in it and is connected to the engine kill circuit. Maybe try disconnecting it.   :umm:

I'm somewhat confused and possibly a bit stupid. Isn't that the power valve controller in the center of the picture? Do you have a Zeel controller (VCDI10VT)?  Why are you using the oem power valve controller?  :umm:

Sorry. All we can do is try our best as time marches forward.

My experiance with stock carbs: They acted up right between 5-6000 and that was it. Starting, pulling away from a stop, no stalling, and everything that wasn't in that rpm range was normal. You could watch the tach and say "ready, right now" as it hit 5000.

Here's the difference between a tube type and tubeless rim.

I looked at a couple spare 1A1 400 clutches and they are 15mm wide gears. Crank gear is about that wide too.

Is there a specific rpm that you notice this is happening at?

I have my HPI using a ground out kill switch, no relay needed. I never have to charge the battery using a LED headlight and taillight bulbs.

Quote from: teazer on October 21, 2025, 01:43:35 PMebay scams are bad enough but Facebook Reels is the go-to place for scam adverts. High priced items at low cost - web sites created to support the scam with fake reviews - website and cash disappear after the scam dries up - chance of getting money back: zero.

Reuters reported that 10% of Facebook's ad revenue is coming from allowing scammers to do their thing.

My clutch slips until the bike warms up all the way (15 minutes) and then it is ok. I've tried different plates, springs, oil but when cold it acts like an old Chevy power glide transmission when it hits peak power. It definitely stops slipping when hot.

Mine would be 30 degrees different at times. After fresh pistons they stay about 15 with each other. Maybe check carb sync and timing if you have points or Dyna ignition.

A steering damper, cranked up, does wonders to get your confidence up that your bike will never spook you again.

It seems the stock RZ carbs are one of a kind. I never found where you could get a 375 needle jet. They are a shorter length than a RD carb jet. Also the pilot jets are shorter length than other Mikuni pilot jets but you can find them.
