OK, I've had some time to reflect and calm down. The trip was good overall, getting to travel for 2 full days with Kieran, seeing Cathy and Grandma Wanda, seeing other friends, meeting new friends, etc. But I came away deeply disappointed with my performances and with my 'tuning' of Kieran's clutch on the KT100. I wish I knew what I'd done wrong, but I will need some help getting it right. And I think I've figured out the third bearing fitment issue, so I will be able to avoid that unfortunate situation in the future. We got only a few good videos from the whole week, but we've managed to get some good pictures from various people around the country, especially of Kieran. I think Kieran had a good time, but being competitive would have been nice, too. So what's next? I got a new clutch for the K80 for now, while the good KT100 gets rebuilt. The 2nd KT100 was delivered last week, so we can break that one in at NJMP in a few weeks. My motor is working A-OK, but we may need to play with jetting this weekend at the Philly #10 event. I would like to take off the programmable ignition and put the stock CDI on (and remove all that extra lead). |
