Electrical problem

I opened the clutch cover to check the pickups and found on my RVF only one pickup and it looks correct? Does the RVF only have one pickup? I can get the spark to work and have tested all components and they work but still no spark? any suggestions.

Solved all the electrical problems and now working on performance improvements. Hoping to re-jet and get carbs set up. What sort of HP is a reasonable figure for an RVF with airbox?

What did you find with regard to having no spark?

Can't help with the potential hp figure though sorry

They were supposed to be 53 out of the box - and as a standard bike, at sea level you might expect a bit more.

As you are up in the plains - you'll be looking at mid 50s

My experience tells me - keep the airbox and all flaps adn shizzle in there - a well fuelled bike that has no hesitations or flatspots is better than one that surges and gurgles to a peak.

Get in onto a Dyno -get a look at the ari/fuel graph and see what's what

I am looking to find the HRC recommended jet size for teh carbs. #148 front and #152 rear. where can i buy them? does anyone know? Bike is running lean at top end and producing already about 68Hp on the rear wheel. Would like to get that a bit higher. If i can rejet i am sure i will improve a bit.

BTW found the spark problem to be when the previous owner took the clutch off without the correct tool and jammed a spanner in between the clutch basket and starter clutch to get it lose. This dented a starter pick up point and caused the bike not to fire on the rear cylinders. New starter clutch and solved the problem.

You can get them from most shops - Kehin jets.. They aren't specific to the NC35

Have you gone the whole hog then with no airbox and a ram air solution? Loads of us on here have been into trying to get the power - the search function might help you a bit too.

for some more inspiration - have you read the mngforce website for added ways to rinse money?
