Hello everybody,
Here a mail for the people who are currious about the things I haven't
explained yet on my
pages......Achim ??
=====
Adjustment on the front-suspension:
I first removed the cover of the valves in the front suspension.
Then I mounted a nipple on the valves (which opens the valve).
On this nipple I mounted a tube. (sound like a weird kind of
sex-game...)
I did it on both forks.
Then I connected both tubes with a T-connection.
On the remaining tube I mounted a new valve.
Now I can adjust the air-pressure in both forks by putting more (or
less) air
in them.
The pressure in both forks will always be equal because they are
connected.
Adjustment on the rear-suspension:
I removed the orriginal spring and mounted a "REIGER-CHOCKS"-spring with
more force.
The advantage (my opinion) is that the forks are less elastic (springy).
It takes the 'rebound' of a wheely with more ease.
You easy can take speedbumps with speeds up to 100 Km/h.
What do you mean ?? not allowed ??
The bike is higher than normal.
It also makes the bike a little less comfortable, but I don't care.
=====
Adjustment on the fuel-tap:
When you remove the fuel-tap, you see a long tube, this is the tube
which gives fuel when
the tap is switched to ON.
At the bottom of the tube is a hole wich gives fuel when the tap is
switched to RESERVE.
But in my opinion the tube is a little to long.
There is about 6 litre fuel left when I switched to RESERVE.
I drilled a hole through the tube, just beneath the rubber ring.
Now I have about 1,5 litres fuel left when I switch to RESERVE.
This means that I can drive up to 300 Km (and more) before I have to
switch.
You just have to remember that there is only 1,5 litre left, especialy
in areas with less gas-
stations. But you can always look on the tripmaster and refuel at for
example 240 Km.
I never had trouble with it before, and I have done it also with my
previous bike....
=====
Modifications on the fuel-pump:
I already told in a former mail something about that.......
=====
Modification to come: Carbon-fiber exhaust:
On the 2th December I ahve to call BSM (exhaust company) to make an
apointment.
I have to bring my bike and they will make an exhaust for the XRV 750.
It will be available for everybody.
As compensation they will make me an exhaust according my (my dealers)
specifications.
I think of buying a carbon-fiber one instead of an RVS one.
The eye wants some too.....
When I have this exhaust I'll go to the dealer and modify my carbs a
little more.
(more..more..more..more.. power ??)
If I'm lucky, I get the chance of making some additional Dynojet graphs.
But you'll be noticed when it's all ready.....
Hope to have you informed enough for the moment,
Greetings from The Netherlands,
Raymond Fels.
