Hi all

i completed the twin cam 88 cam swap today ( had two days off thanks to the ekka show and commercial job site shutdown) which was handy cause I need two days to do it!

i re did all the usual things bearings lifters, pushrods etc and learned a few valuable lessons along the way. It took two days cause I am impatient and like to stay focused while on a roll but that caused me to revisit a coupe of key stages once ( or twice)......... ok three times. But I'm glad I did take the time to re do these stages as she fired up first go and cracked out a nice lumpy note ( although pretty loud) 

i was quietly chuffed and relieved at the same time. Thanks to this forum and you tube , I got through it unscathed and really enjoyed the moment when she cracked into life with no scary noises

So now that I've sprouted off about reinventing the wheel, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good tuner on the Gold Coast that can hand tune a carby ( mikuni 42) as while a dyno would be the best proposition, after forking out close to $700 in parts for the cam change I'm swinging low on the greenbacks for a little while.

All the best

Me

 

Well done. How many hours did it take you all up over the two days?

can't help with the tuner down your way sorry. I was however down at bike street (what ever it's called) in Nerang today and surely there would be some one in that area that could help.
Congrats on having a go and getting it done. It don't matter how long it takes you if you have the time spare.

Done the same job on my Evo many times... Very satisfying in doing it my oneself!

You have a carbed bike with a Mikuni 42 check your plugs and save your coin

or install a Wideband O2 set-up on one of the pipes. I have one on my exhaust pipe and its been a godsend in tuning my CV carbby.

Im sure if needed a couple of mains are cheaper than that there device
