It's Alive / Throttle sync from scratch?

[delpel]

Well tonight the beast that has laid dormant for 18 months finally coughed and spluttered into life. After some advice from a previous thread, I put a charged battery in the slot and fired her up.

Coughed and spluttered at first, then she raced ahead followed by a rapid operation of the kill switch. Found the throttle butterflies weren't fully returning so by operating them by hand managed to keep the revs down and slowly increased the revs.

Lots of WD40 smoke and exhaust smoke in the garage soon cut short my excitment. The only concern I have is the knocking noise coming from the front end engine cover. This cover took a bashing from the front wheel in the crash. I have put a new rotor and lower pulley on which had a twist in them. Hoping there isn't any more damage in there

I now need to sort the sticking throttle and resync the throttle bodies from scratch i.e. cables off and start from scratch.

Has anybody got a link to the procedure from scratch.

Regards and I'm off to get all excited

Well done Delpel. Glad to hear she runs at last.

Doesn' t the engine have a bearing behind the front cover for the alternator pulley? If so it could be at fault on the replacement cover, did you fit a new bearing?

I know the camchain tensioners take a while to pump up especially when the bike is dropped, which can give some knock on startup. A blip of the throttle usually raises enough oil pressure to settle them.

Whatever you do, DO NOT ALTER THE THROTTLE STOPS when setting it up. They are set on a flow-bench at the factory and are damn-near impossible to set manually.
