[QUOTE="Anssi, post: 282052, member: 23342"] [B] This is the deal: when my bike (and at least some others) came from the factory, the black lever already puts some preload on the rod i.e. the diaphragm is slightly compressed with the throttle fully close. If you look closely, the hole in the black lever where the rod connects is oval, not perfectly round. So when you open the fork, you will get some play in there and therefore make the spray start at a later time, and if there was actual preload, [B]lengthen[/B] the duration. Then I have to do the electrical connector mod to reduce the duration even more than I would have to without the tape mod (because the rod will start from a greater "height" since previously it was preloaded). To make matters even more fun, the rubber boot thingy over the rod pushes the rod [B]up[/B], and if the black lever allows the rod to move high enough, actually pushes the rod off from contact with the diaphragm. This has no effect in actual operation, but makes the adjusting part harder, so I do the adjusting without the boot. Check out [url]http://www.keihin-us.com/tune.html[/url] [/B] Those connectors you can get from pretty much any old electrics store. They are the stuff that at least here in Finland were used to connect your lamps(as in the ceiling inside your house) to the wires that came out of the ceiling before they got the plug-and play-connectors. Then you just have to use a hobby knife to cut the metal part from inside the plastic block (they usually come in a bigger block with several connectors). [/QUOTE]
