I like it!

You are welcome.

  
Happy Birthday my dear friend the Blingmaster
M in SC  

Way high. That's a $3500 motorcycle in my opinion.

Coolant drained, (well most of it anyway) and factory impeller cover removed. Gasket area cleaned. New Athena gasket prepped with a light coat of water pump and thermostat sealant.



My dear friend Evans Ward gave me this quick drain impeller cover that enables no mess draining without having to remove the bottom radiator hose. Thanks Evans!!! The cylinder drain bolts declined to be removed so I got most of the old coolant out (which looked just as good as it did when it was put in there) and added back 50/50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze plus 6 capfuls of water wetter.
Hooked up my alternate fuel source and ran it up. No leaks noted.

  

It has. Thank you!

Excellent!!

Chuck is the man   Glad you got it sorted.

  

Today was the day for the Zeeltronic install. Frank B came over and got after it. Frank is a wiring wizard   Thank you Frank!!


About 2 hours later it fired up and ran on the 2nd kick.    We used part of the plug kit and the very cool fancy crimpers from Economy Cycle. Thanks John
The plugs for the power valve controller were a direct swap. The Canadian version has the 29K CDI box with round pins instead of flat so we cut the plugs off of the CDI box to avoid altering the main harness.

The new Zeeltronic units don't have any provisions for mounting the box to the bike. I keep heavy duty velcro on hand and it worked pefectly for the new Zeeltronic CDI/power valve controller now mounted in the spot formerly occupied by the factory power valve controller.
M in SC provided the 7 step power valve control curve and the 9 step ignition timing curve developed after hours of extensive testing on his RZ and we input the data into the Zeel known as the Hasse Curve with the hand held programmer. Mark also provided telephone tech support for Frank B and me. Thanks Mark!!

I test rode it after I got it back together and it is a different motorcycle. More power everywhere, more linear power delivery and better temperature control.   

Vapor or glass bead blasting and ultrasonic cleaning afterwards.

  

Took the RD out for a test ride. Ran perfectly. Deals Gap Prep complete except for a good scrubbing.

Excellent
