It’s running folks!
Now I’ll have to connect charging from regulator and do some checks. None of that rattling noise is there anymore.

The idle sounds So Smooth and balanced !

Thanks! I’ve spent quite some time on jetting. Followed a good guide. Start with idle adjustment and slow speed jets. Then midrange and last 3/4 to full throttle. Maby dyna ignition helps?

Yeah sounds great! Glad you’re getting the jetting going but normally you want to go mixture screws for idle, main jet, and then work your way down from there. If you go right up the line - mixture screw, slow jet, needle, main - then once you change the main that will alter the ones below it. Main jet affects everything from about 1/4 throttle up. But either way you do it you’ll learn something, haha

Well guess I’ll have to redo jetting a bit then.. everything is wired now. To bad we got weather similar to a monsoon now. Does not work well without rear fender. HAHA

A small test outside our house. Soon roads are dry.

Sounds smooth. Enjoy the riding weather!

Checked the voltage today. Stable 14.4V at high idle. Have to do some measurment while driving. If it is 14.4 all the time it should be safe for lithium battery?

DaveBarbier · « **Reply #81 on:** July 14, 2020, 04:39:50 AM »

My shorai’s max is 15.2 but any lithium battery you get will say what the voltage requirements are. I’d bet you’d be fine. Look on their websites though and it will say.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #82 on:** July 14, 2020, 08:38:18 AM »

14.4 should be okay but like Dave suggested, check the battery specs. You have the correct type of reg/rect.

On the flip side, make sure to check your battery especially if you take a long break in riding (or storage). If the voltage drops to a certain threshold, it will not recharge.

Yes, 14.4V is optimum for LiFePo batteries.

Thanks for chiming in Scottly. It's been a while since I ran one.

I will happily second that nomination!

What did you come up with for a taper angle on the two parts? I went with a CBR600RR rotor because it is much thinner than the VFR one and thinking since it was a honda they would be the same but the rotor angle was a little larger than the crank taper.

I measured it to 5 degrees. But I used a micrometer on my lathe to adjust the taper. Of I would do it again I would go with a cbr rotor. There is very limited space worh the vfr one.

Some minor stuff has been done. Got my hands on some fine cb650 custom forks. My old one was leaking. Will shorten them later. Bought emulators from Mikes XS.

Your 650 looks great! 👍

Do the emulators make a noticeable difference and in what way?

Thanks!
Fork feels a bit mote smooth now. I have not adjusted the emulators and all I hade in my garage was 10W for oil. 15W is recommended.

Looks nice!

That will be very interesteing to see, how a 650 will look with spokes. I bet it will be super!

I hope so! Will take some time since I got my hands on an incomplete hub. Have to make a few collars, and I’m tripple checking all measurments for the spokes.

Waiting for parts. Ordered spokes and they were to long. Waiting for a thread rolling head. Shipping is slow these covid-days.

Rear wheel in the making. Also bought CBR600RR throttle bodies..Think it will be fun to build a CB650i with a speeduino.
