Pinned So what have you done to your bike today?

Nice photo's Grey, at last we see the bike fully clothed So what actually are you saying, on Fathers day you had a need, a need for speed Good for you mate. Look forward to getting your impression of the Hyosung very soon.

 

I thought I could get away with just cleaning the seat and patching up some light rust. After scraping / cleaning / sanding for a couple of hours I ended up stripping the seat to check the condition of the seat foam / cushion (which was great). The seat cover is, of course, unobtainium.

By complete chance, I found a complete NOS-in-box '78 seat for $160. So now I have 5 seats - 2 ea. SS seats and 3 ea. SST seats. If anyone knows any good motor trimmers, am interested.

 

Hey Ian
Came across this crowd, Melbourne based I think. Have a look at there site.

Each LED adds +5HP





And looks MUCH better in person as @Grasshopper will attest to...

 

I played around with jets again, going back to where I was before I started to believe the technology I used to help me sort it out.
It ran like crap !
Upped the needle, slight improvement
Upped the needle jet, big improvement
It's still lacking in the pilot jetting, but that can wait 'till after a flog 'n' chop tomorrow, to check the main jetting (again)
Hopefully there will be no electrodes burnt, or pistons holed

Thanks Phil, looks good. Will give them a try,

Kind regards,

Ian B,

 

I replaced the chain and changed the front sproket to 13t and added a quick turn throttle plus a new front tyre (Alpha 13).

 

Finally bit the bullet today and took my bike to the workshop to put her in to get her cam chain replaced, not looking forward the bill i supplied the chain, joiner link and coolant for the refill and probably close of $400 in just labour :/ Is there specific handles for bikes or are mostly all the same hole size? gonna replace mine as were grip warmers but havn't worked since i got the bike.

 

I used a throttle tube of zxr750 which I think is the same as zx10r and it works great it costs about 50 dollers

 

This is the part number that I used

 

you did a good number on your toe there, good work.

 

XD unfortunately that one provides your balance while walking

 

Nothing to bike but old man just sent me confirmation of are flights from Blackpool (my home town uk) to the Isle of Man next year pumped as

 

so is it just because its a bigger throttle tube??? I was thinking of altering a honda quick action trottle for the zxr..

 

Yeah the cam on the tube is bigger

 

you can buy the cheap plastic ones for 10 odd dollars from the us on ebay, its not as quick turny as i wanted but it is better over stock, dont have to break my wrist to go wot.
