MT350 : Green Lane Prep

[karlq]

Just finished last updates to the MT350 ready for some light Green Laning around East Anglia.

Mods :

Renthal Bars , lever protectors , Brembo Brake lever , Forged Clutch lever , Chain tensioner , 32mm Dellorto Pump carb , homemade carb inlet , K+N Filter, braided hoses , alloy sprocket , big bore pipes . Rear Mudguard . Tech Speedo .

Fitted new electrical parts from Rex Caunt , s/s cam belt rollers ,

Just come from Dyno Tuning , showing a nice smooth 23bhp at back wheel now . Good bottom end grunt for plodding around off road.

cheers

Karl

Great sounding mods and respectable power at the back wheel. My 500 only produced 24bhp at the back wheel, but it does need new rings and a bit of a decoke!

Cant see the pics but looking forward to viewing them on my own PC..

I know a bloke who can do that for you, want his number?

Looks really good. Also Hagon shocks that will help.

Are you still using the air box?

[jungleMTbiker]

I like that rear mudguard--what is that off of?

[Thumper]

It also looks as if you've moved the rear brake master cylinder to the other side

Any chance of some more photos with the seat and side panels removed?

Always happy to copy someone else's good idea!

Hi All , thanks for replies .

Mudguard was fleabay universal find for £5 , however meant changing frame to alter fixing point for seat .
I fitted an Acebis Enduro LED light plate holder to it , then sprayed it green .

I will post more pictures later .

Yes moved rear brake fluid pot, I will post photo with panels and seat removed .

Air Box has gone , sorry .

Hagons shocks are a revelation , I also fitted 50mm fork pre load spacers which has helped with handling .

Fitted new 32mm Dellorto pumper carb , but it ran like a pig . I had purchased it set up to a 34mm spec as fitted to the Aprilia 350 , but it ran poorly . Most likley due to K+N and open bore pipe . So I spent ages trying to find a solution but just became frustrated ; so I gave in and took the bike to BDK near Norwich . The first Dyno run showed a rollacoster of lean , then rich , then lean etc . It showed @ best 14bhp . They had the bike for a week and using their knowledge and skill gave back a bike with a lovely smooth power and torque curve with just under 23bhp . It ticks over like a watch and has plenty of low down grunt off the line . The dyno and tune up cost me £120 .

regards to all , Karl

Really interesting Karl, thanks for posting

Looking forward to seeing some new pictures as I'm playing around with some similar ideas at the moment

A few of us went to Wales a few months ago when Ady organised a Dyno session here's a link to some of the reports:

This was my initial Dyno run:



But after some further tweaking I ended up with 30.2 bhp - on a MZ500e engine

Your result of 23 bhp on a 350 is very impressive. Most 350's struggle to make anything over 18

Looks good

Do you have the specifics on the levers, I have short fingers and the standard levers are a atretch - could do with some in this style
