So the mpi gems controller is just rebranded and is actually made by EJK? Thanks for the link I'm gonna start learning right away!

I agree, those instructions make no sense. I've read them at least 4 times and I still don't really get it.

I didn't need any shims for mine. If you need shims let me know and I'll send them to you. Good luck!

This is why we need solid state relays!

This is interesting. If you look at the gauge, it has the "reverse" R so the system is really confused. After being in electronics repair and manufacturing for the last 15 years I have seen this type of thing many times on other types of equipment. My guess is that there is a bad connection...

Good catch there my apologies. You may find someone here who has some preliminary settings for the coil overs. I've heard many people say the coil Overs are better.

Shoot you need to get that baby up higher. Get one of those secondary adjusters. I did and it solved a bunch of issues. 89 bucks from thunder products. I also got a gates carbon fiber belt and the pair made things better. Here is the link...

any idea what is left to finish on it?

Belt deflection set properly with the belt ribs just peeking out over the top of the secondary?

I would check to make sure the chain isn't too tight. For starting, I'd let the fuel pump cycle and then turn it and hold it til it's started. It should start very easily. If you buy it make sure you have a real solid battery because the ECU on this sled seems to misbehave when starting with...

Are you using a clutch kit? What belt are you running?

Thanks for clarifying that. I guess what I meant to say is that at the station where I get gas by our cabin in Wisconsin only the premium is ethanol free. This is why I shouldn't post before drinking coffee!

The only reason I use premium is that here in the states, the other grades have ethanol which can build up moisture in the tank. I'm sure it's still fine, I guess I'm just paranoid.

Congrats! I'd run a can of sea foam in the tank to help clean up the fuel system. Once you get it it on the trail let us know your thoughts. 75 psi in the front shocks are a good starting point. Hopefully it came with the shock air pump, if not they are pretty cheap. Good luck!!

Wow that's an amazing race! There are a few threads on TY that talk about bearing upgrades and have part numbers. You should be able to find them.
