Yes, I am replying to myself.

Found one place in San Diego that has the box. They are going to let me use it for free!

Lee's Cycle

I may try to buy it off of them for cheap since they said they haven't used it in 10 years and it has no knobs on it. Ha!

And for a third time in case anyone is reading; Clinton is the guy's name. He let me use the box and it worked great. Except that the mixture knob is broken off and only a little nub is left. They even used a sharpie to "redraw" the hash marks on it to use as a mixture setting guide.

Not the best set of conditions. But my bike works much better now that I dialed in somewhere between 1 & 2 percent rich on the idle circuit for both cylinders.

Poway Motorcycle also has one...

Is your bike stock? My stock 03 has a nasty habit of stalling if I twist too quickly off idle. Other than that, it runs great and I get 45+ mpg. It looks like my fuel economy will take quite a hit if I go the PCIII route.

KDA, I may head over there in the next few weeks. I think since the knob was broken off, I could hardly tell how much I was richening the mixture by. I am getting a steady 33 mpg now. Horrible mileage. Now, it does run infinitely better.

Wylee, yes, my bike was completely stock except for 17/45 sprockets. Now it is running so well, I think I will go back to 17/43 sprockets when they wear out.

Marshall,

Did you end up buying that other yosh box or just use it at the shop? If you bought it, and you dont mind, I'd like to throw my bike on it.

Let me know

I just used it. It sucked too. The knob was broken off and they weren't interested in getting it fixed either.

Know how much Poway is gonna charge? Hopefully not much.

LOL! Well it looks like I am going to have to bust out the schematics and build one myself.

 

[kda652]

No worries, Poway Motorcycle charges $75 and they will tune it for you...

Not sure if that helps

Right now, I would rather my bike run smoother than get great mileage...

Haha, I'm in! Maybe we'd make them eat their words.

I hear ya. It really does make a big difference in the way it runs. I did manage 37 mpg on all highway rides this past weekend.

I will think about making a Yosh Box again and let you fellas know.

let us know when it's ready. am NOT kidding. can't find anyone around here that will do it even if they had a box (CARB, pffff). i've a brand new manometer, if that's needed for the job, i can bring.

If you do make one let me know, I'm not nearly smart nuff to do that kind of stuff... I can turn wrenches with the best of 'em, but when it gets to stuff like this I'm way over my head!

Yosh Box is the Best

The Yosh Box tune I did on my bike is the single best upgrade I've ever done on my bike. It cured all the ill's.

I can do the electrical stuff. And this box really isn't that complicated. I tried making a guitar pedal that was REALLY complicated and blew that one up bad. But this is super easy.

When it is done and ready (maybe within a month, busy guy as you can understand), I will let all of you know and we can have a meetup. :hurray:

I totally agree. I wish I did it before changing the gearing so much.
