No the carb was modified by the previous owner...need to get to it, and thinking of getting of the stock and find g something I can install with tested settings.

The chain is probably about 17k original but the sound is coming from the left side on the generator area. Isn't the Chain on the right by the oil filter?

Hope next month I have a bit more cash flow to work with and attend one of these things. Things not well with my old lady.

Do you think is safe to ride it about 100 miles

Re: 1st Poker Run- Bike stalled 3 times
Reply #80 - 05/26/16 at 18:16:05

I did the poker run. The bike performed well, but stalled on me twice on the road and once at the end. I used the choke to get it back, but at the end it just died as i was leaving the parking lot.

Another biker, adjusted the carb a little, I think it was the idle "screw"...cus I had to get it home, in the rain. The bike is running really hard in idle now, but didnt die and i made it home safe... hvent riding it since...but I need need to figure out what are good carb adjustments.

If I want to participate in more runs, i need to tune this baby up, any advice?

If you don't have a Raptor petcock and it's a few years old, it's probably time.
If it's idling below 1,000 RPM, adjust the idle speed up.
Don't let it warm up, idling, on the sidestand.

2005 Boulevard S40 - Elevation 13' - 17,180 miles .... Cone filter and jetting by previous owner, said he was running rich and use the ryca jets. (images of the bike in previous post on this threat)

I'm working on getting either a dyna muffler and jetting the carb to thte specs that everyone here knows. or buying a muffler from ryca and jetting to its specs.

There is so much to this bike, that I don't know where to begin.

The engine keeps giving me a sound and I think is the piston, because is coming right under the tank...

In the lower gears, specially when shifting down i get a sound as pebbles inside a soda can.

I been riding on the streets, and haven't had an opportunity to go past 4th gear, but I feel it locks there. (a problem for another time)

The bike has stalled on me on a poker run...probably a badthe carb adjustment or peacock issue.

They changed the tires, and I remember my band was not adjusted to the middle... when I got the bike back, the mark was to the middle....and watching the video for the tension, I feel is a bit tight. I will like to release it just a bit. Not sure if it matters, but the back tire is slightly bigger than the stock - M888 140/90 - 15 ...I'm thinking with a bigger tired and the band tight, it might be putting too much strain on the engine?

My second event, I'll like to attend to. I just hope i dont get stranded.

The headlight rattle can be mistaken for an engine rattle. Put some tape over the headlight housing to the trim around the light, and see (hear)if the sound goes away. I thought I was losing my cam/rockers as they were getting really noisy.....one day I reached up and put my hand on the headlight, and the sound went away! The cure was to take the ring off and put a couple pieces of foam tape on the retainer tabs.

And.....if it is the cam chain as Verslagen has suggested you check.....and you keep riding it without doing something about it....you may need to walk home soon, as the tensioner can come apart and ruin your engine.
