Did a sneaky first ride (proper countryside so no main roads)
Some things no note and the reasons I ended it pretty quickly, I've got a hanging idle which revs up between gears, sometimes to high to be comfortable with. Its definitely running rich which may be part of it?
Secondly when I got back and switched the key off it did a kind of intake of breath and popped a muted backfire, again this concerned me a bit so I'll wait some responses before I go out again.
Lastly, no speedo registering on my koso with daytona analogue to digital speed sensor as well as the well documented lack of rev counter

Don’t forget, Wheelie’s passed the ‘all girl school’ bus stop are compulsory
That's more likely than a stoppie!🤣

Thanks Bryan, I'll ride it like a semi loony then, to be honest brakes will be the limiting factor as they're not that great.

I think I'm just worried it's going to leave me stranded down the bottom of a hill, I can only go downwards from my place

Sorted the leak out!
Before I tentatively try a road test should I try and fine tune my carbs or just take it down the road running rich as it appears to be? I've got a Morgan Carbtune but I'm conscious of running it for too long statically when it's on new pistons and a rebore.

I'll get a quote first I think, I had my xs done by ultimate bike paint for £350 a couple of years ago

I'm considering doing my own paint job too, will spraymax 2k go over any aerosol base? What kind of mask is needed to be safe?

Every time I visit the forum today its asking me to sign in rather than automatically, its also displaying like an early basic forum from the late nineties. Anyone else got this problem?

1 rpm per 2 signals should be correct i think
That's what I initially thought Bryan, more research needed I think. At least I've got it to register some sort of reading

Sadly setting 4 made no difference, only getting a reading when I raise the revs

What doesn't Julie stock! Took me a while but now realise you meant central heating, I'm determined not to load our pellet boiler until September at the earliest.
It's annoying that summer comes along and so many jobs need doing but good to see the 500 is pretty much done.

I'll give it a try later Ted. So why don't they suggest connecting it up on the ignition side rather than from the coil I wonder, then again looking at the instructions I'm not surprised.

It says its suitable for both, I think it's reading around half the revs on setting 2 which is 1 rpm signal per 2 ignitions so u wonder if I change it to setting 4 which is 1 rpm signal per 4 ignitions

I'll try that Ted, I don't have a blue wire coming from my electronic ignition though, there is one with a blue shrink-wrap.
I'm worried about frying the gauge though.
*Well I threw caution to the wind, tapped into the blue sleeved wire from the Dyna S and got a rev reading! Not accurate but I can work on that in the settings I think, it was a bit bouncy
