You say fresh motor, does that mean a rebuild? If so, did the engine turn over easy to set valves etc.? Connections on starter tight? Was the starter refreshed?

Just overhauled both the Spanish Bosch out of my '84 R80RT and the Valero out of my '95 R100R. The Bosch is a lot stouter build and I have swapped them out. I put the Bosch in my long term R100R.

Thanks.

The twin shock early 80's relay that I have, is similar to the mono shock?

What I noticed was when then balancer was hooked up there was no fluctuation in the RP...

This is the interesting statement to me........ " as it can stall when it drops too low while shifting." If I set the idle at 900 and was riding up to a stop sign and had the clutch in the engine would quite often stall when the idle did a dip before returning to the 900 setting. That is ...

New to me '84 R80RT. I am having a slight issue with the idle speed that momentarily drops about 250 RPM's, after driving under load, before returning to the set idle speed. The bike runs up to red line very smooth and strong and she does not miss a beat. She will idle at 900 no problem until she re...
