... Harley Davidson riders are among the most feeble minded people in the world and Vito proves it with his justifying the many Harley major breakdowns on the basis that parts are available. Of course parts are available. There would be NO Harleys on the road if this were not the case. I'd be offended if you weren't so feeble minded that you cannot comprehend what you read. I don't know of "the many Harley breakdowns" you run on about and suspect you heard all about them from people who never owned a Harley. My 15 year old H-D crossed the country a dozen times, did any number of 1000 mile days, racked up over 200,000 miles and never ever left me stranded. It never HAD a major breakdown. After 90+ 000 miles it went from zero oil consumption to a quart every 2000 miles, but ran fine and H-D fixed it free. 10-15000 mikes later it quit charging, a problem Hondas have every 10,000 miles, so I rode it to a nearby dealer where it was fixed for free. While fixing it he found a porous spot on an engine case that'd caused no problem for over 100,000 miles but when I got home my dealer replaced the cases and all the lower end bearings, again for free. I find that remarkable. I have owned and enjoyed 3 or 4 of every brand of rice plus BSAs, Triumphs and Enfields, a dozen BMWs, and a Ducati. They have all been good bikes, each in its own way, but not one has given me any better service than my many H-Ds. |

... What is the Lentini mod? And what is 0-0 ? Scotty '77 R100S Not to worry on your R100s. BM buys fuel injection systems pre-calibrated from Italy for their R1100/1200 models. They have a simple pot (variable resistor) on the throttle shaft that tells the computer how far open the throttle is. About 1 in 10 of these are off a tad making the bike run crappy. Bob Lentini's "mod" is simply to reposition of the pot with the throttle closed so it sends the right 'closed' voltage to the computer like it is supposed to do and does on most BMs. But the adjustment screws have "tell tale" paint installed in Italy that perforce gets broken during this fix so BMW calls it a "unauthorize modification". Replacing the $10/apiece spark plugs with cheap US ones finishes the job. |

The reason the Lentini mod is eschewed by BMW corporate is that it does screw up the emissions somewhat, which could put BMW over the limit for fleet levels. BMW *claims* that it might screw up the oilhead boxer engines to do such mods, but that's nothing but pure bull****. I have friends who've all done the mod and their bikes run great and have no residual problems. Your airhead, Scotty, isn't affected by any of this. Max |

Shows you know nothing about carburetors for motorcycles.
Nothing beats a Mikuni carburetor. The reason being is that Mikunis are totally adjustable with respect to low speed, mid-range, and top speed whereas crapola like Bings have no mid-range adjustment possible. Mikunis have air and fuel jets for low range Bings only have a screw to adjust the air. Mikunis have jet needles and needle jets for mid range adjustment while Bings offer only needle jets. Both Bings and Mikunis have an assortment of high speed jets. Anybody who knows how to tune a motorcycle for max performance given the altitude the machine is used in knows Mikunis are the preferred choice. I hope this helps.

Smooth bore Mikunis flow better than your European crap

Amateur racing was fun but too easy. I used to clean up. I did MX, enduro, trials, hare scrambles, hare and hound, flat track, drag racing and hill climbing. I'm perhaps the only person ever to top the Widowmaker in SLC with a 90cc Hodaka. (Bored to 100cc and ported and polished and carbureted to run like a 175cc machine). Even got the US Army to sponsor my team. CN National racing is another league altogether. It teaches on the meaning of the phrase -"not quite good enough". "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ...

Beg pardon cappy, you may know more about sailing than me, but you don't even come close when it comes to bikes. Bings, and Amals for that matter, flow better at top end. That's where you want it. bottom end? mid range? Bah! WFO! Scotty #35 Nothing beats a Mikuni carburetor. The reason being is that Mikunis are totally adjustable with respect to low speed, mid-range, and top speed whereas crapola like Bings have no mid-range adjustment possible. Mikunis have air and fuel jets for low range Bings only have a screw to adjust the air. Mikunis have jet needles and needle jets for mid range adjustment while Bings offer only needle jets. Both Bings and Mikunis have an assortment of high speed jets. Anybody who knows how to tune a motorcycle for max performance given the altitude the machine is used in knows Mikunis are the preferred choice. I hope this helps. CN "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Oh. Thanks for the clarification. I have Bing CVs. I like Bings, real simple, that's what my Maicos had. Scotty "Vito" wrote in message ... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... What is the Lentini mod? And what is 0-0 ? Scotty '77 R100S Not to worry on your R100s. BM buys fuel injection systems pre-calibrated from Italy for their R1100/1200 models. They have a simple pot (variable resistor) on the throttle shaft that tells the computer how far open the throttle is. About 1 in 10 of these are off a tad making the bike run crappy. Bob Lentini's "mod" is simply to reposition of the pot with the throttle closed so it sends the right 'closed' voltage to the computer like it is supposed to do and does on most BMs. But the adjustment screws have "tell tale" paint installed in Italy that perforce gets broken during this fix so BMW calls it a "unauthorize modification". Replacing the $10/apiece spark plugs with cheap US ones finishes the job. |

It was the shifter, specifically the ball receiver springs
that got "skronked" (smashed) and had to be replaced to it would shift again. There was a special tool to install the ball receiver kit. I could take apart an Ace 90 down to the transmission and reassemble it in less than 1/2 hour I was so familiar with them. CN "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...
