Booked in at Craigs to get the transmission tuned to suit the new powahs.

From talking to a few different people, and the googles of course, not adjusting the transmission tune after power mods can be a sure-fire way to reduce transmission life.

As it only costs around $500 for the transmission retune it is a no brainer to have it tuned to suit.

Ah,  for the motorbike.

LOL, sorry, for the confusion

I have added all my vehicular Bogan news into this thread

The slammer kit drops the whole bike about 1.5" and firms up the suspension 

Plus the OEM stuff is shite, this is "apparently" a little better

Do you need an Asian to show you how to do a mad skid? I don't see the video of your skid in this thread 😂

Because posting random mad skids on the interwebs has never ended badly for said skidder.....

When I hit the drags I'll attempt to get one of the kids to take a vid

The transmission tune is all sorted

I think I want to put a gilmer rear drive on the back of the blower to make it even more whiney and annoying, speaking of annoying......

Funny story, I was waiting for the Mrs to pick up some takeaway, she overheard a couple outside the shop complaining to their friends about the noisy car in the carpark, she heard the friends say,"WTF, that thing sounds hot, not everyone wants a POS car like yours"

It's the little things that make you smile, and annoying people, I always smile when I annoy people

 

Sorry, no skid vids

Car drives great in traffic and loves the Hwy

Drove to Braidwood today, averaged about 9.5l/100km with cruise locked at 100 and 110

Sedate city driving is less fuel friendly at about 16l/100km

Car is wicked fun and fast on the roll

Finally installed the new suspension on the bike, lowered the bike about 1.5" each end

The compliance/performance is so much better than the stock suspension, comparing the new stuff to the stock, front was like a sponge, and the rear was like a pogo stick

Yes I have lost some lean angle, but I really rarely scrapped the pegs before anyway, plus I don't really dive into corners because Harley

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
