One other thing I need to mention. The compression on the bad side is at 90. Oil on ring test caused no change in compression. The valves are loud so I need to get in there and adjust them. The good side is at 135 and quiet valves. I did just go for a ride tonight and for the first time for a long t...

Ok...so I have a brand new coil, wires and points from Motorrad Elektric, as well as new plugs from my on the road attempt at fixing the problem. But nothing changed until I did two things....regap my points as they were too close, and change the condensor Here is my troubleshooting steps as well as...

Don't recall who originally posted this but I kept a copy - not on the bike though which is kinda dumb. Points and condenser for 1979-80 points style beancan ignition only! Bosch number 01011 for the points denotes softer spring, greater swing of the points arm, and fibrous material tab that rides ...

What is said makes sense regarding not effecting just one cyl. I had doubted that it was the condensor but after switching out the wires, new plugs and checking grounds the only thing left was the condensor. Once I dropped in the new one all problems became resolved. I had new NGK wires, a Dyna Coil...

So I know that there has been an ongoing debate about the reliability of the R80g/s hall sensor and how folks like me put switch them out to points. So yesturday I was 80miles from home and it started to intermittently backfire. Halfway home the backfiring got worse. Figured I'd stop for coffee and ...

I'm surprised you are going to EI. I actually pulled it off my G/S and it runs a LOT better on points. even starts better!!

Well, feel free to search around, but I basically got disillusioned with riding and especially the typical ADVrider who would rather drink and ride dirt bikes than enjoy the love of riding and said so, this eventually led to me insulting a local ADVrider who was tight with a mod, and one thing led t...

Hey man, I do remember you, though the subject matter escapes me. Then again, I don't remember breakfast so that's not saying much :) On my G/S, I pulled the R100 stuff off with the exception of the forks as they were actually an improvement. Everything else added WAAAAAAYYYY too much weight and act...

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah....you know that blinker fluid people keep mentioning? You just pour some of that into an airhead diode board, plug it into one of those hall sensor things, add a Molex to USB converter and plug it into your computer. It allows you to repost old threads. :geek: In any ca...

Well, I'm back from roaming for the summer season and a lot has changed. Basically got banned from ADVposur for pissing off a liked member and was given the reason "Drama to contribution ratio way out of proportion", changed a lot of things on the G/S, basically removing much of the heavy ...
