how has this turned out mickblues

no sumping, has been retuned with TTS master tuner? new cam?
Hey man, turned out good. No sumping and yes the builder retuned when I brought it back.  Not sure what he did different but the bike woke up.  Much much more responsive and rips.  Maybe because it broke in more then the retune.  He used PowerVision. No new cam added, still has TW-8-6.  I am curious tho about the TTS Mastertune wondering if I can get even more out of the bike.  Maybe something to look at down the road.

i use the tts tuners as they are flexible and can handle almost anything I throw at the bike.  My only complaint about the TTS is that it does not allow for cycling the abs system.  Would love to be able to do that annually at home vs the dealer.
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

So I notice when riding for a while and engine gets real hot that when accelerating on take off when i let the clutch out its choppy. The When i turned the bike off and tried restarting it doesn't start. I tried several times. I have to wait for the engine to settle or im thinking cool down then starts up.

Bike performs flawlessly until engine gets super hot then these issues arise.   Any ideas?

Do you mean the bike won't turn over when it's hot or it spins over but won't fire?
Just because its said don't make it so

It wasn't turning over. I had to let it sit for 20-30 mins before trying again.  I have a video trying to upload but can't

Sounds like you need another new top end.   Bob

Pistons aren't seizing and just got new top end. Spoke to the tuner said that cranking fuel settings might be to high for the temp. Said to bring back in and he can adjust. Said not uncommon for builds like mine

If you paid to have this built and tuned and then have these kind of issues. You need to find a more competent builder/tuner!!!

mickblues

Im bringing it to a reputable tuner who uses tts mastertune

Mick it should never not turn over from heat, I'm a bit worried for you to be honest, are you near any of the regular shops on here? someone that knows their stuff needs to have a look before you spend any more money on tuning it.
