Rich Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Got my EXUP pretty much sorted now, valve clearances done, exup valve sorted and set up, carbs balanced etc. In town though, I find second gear a bit tall for some really slow corners, especially up hill? Below 25mph, second gear is about 2000rpm and the bike tends to chatter below this speed if the throttle is wound open much :? Is this normal? Apart from this she rides very nicely and goes really well. Cheers :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted August 8, 2004 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2004 I've encountered that chatter before also.......I think it's just that weird ratio span between 1st & 2nd gear's........sounds like you're going just the right speed.....a bit too slow for 2nd & a bit too fast for 1st Just my 2cents worth :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks for that, not just my riding then :wink: Apart from that, it's an awesome bike - the pull in second gear is amazing and takes it to almost 100mph 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted August 9, 2004 Admin Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah that sounds right mate, it does get a bit annoying but you could always change the sproket :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robing Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 i've only just found this newsgroup so excuse my ignorance but what was your exup problem and how did you get it fixed. i have a Y2K R! and am having a nightmare swapping servoes and oilling cables etc... i now have a 98 servo in a Y2K bike and still have the 7000 tango but only after a quick turn around. the dealer recommends that i buy a new CDI unit but i'm not happy about this, a lot of money and maybe not a fix in sight.

Bazz Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Rich, changing the sprocket ratios will fix it, but will obviously affect accelaration/top end, an easier solution is to take the corners/junctions in 2nd gear with a little power on and slip the clutch all the way through the turn, it'll be much smoother :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
