My time was about 2 weeks

Today I've been busy :-)
Set the tps to 430ohm ish

Added a 2nd lift hole to the rear slide as it was struggling to get onto the needles with the gutted air box
.
Breather pipes all done now but I still need some little filters for the carb breathers .


A small pop filter with a cut down spray can lid to help shelled it from the rain and tucked it up out the way

Hears the air box bottom

Stacks

Very nice work Lloyd. How many miles to the tank now? 20?

And the opened up snorkel shown next to the standard


Just got back from testing and it pull way better than before and I haven't changed anything else in the carbs as it rides great .
Any changes will happen on the dyno later this month .

Chicken strips anyone

the rear tyre is a little dead now !

I'm liking you adapter cable for adjusting the TPS Lloyd

(:-})

Don't know :-( and I won't know till dyno day as I'm in need of a rear tyre and I'm spent up few a week or two

I took the plug of a scrap loom I have and wired it to the tester :-) makes adjusting the tps easy

Wel I have been busy with my suspension today. Just have a little breather to watch the Grand Prix before going out to do the final bit. I'm glad I got around to this because the bolt that connects to the swingarm was dry and a bit stiff so needing re-greasing. All bearings are good.Spent most of the day cleaning and polishing.

Here a few pics to keep you going.







And starting to put all back together

Nice Carl good work I do like the black swing arm :-)

Resprayed the seat cowl to match the bike then treated her to a wash and polish.
Also fitted the front number board.
Will fit the rear number boards after the cowl has dried in the sun for a few days.

All done and back together. Went for a quick spin it does feel little better but that might be placebo. I also managed a 2nd gear power wheelie going over a bridge The next thing to do is play around with the shock setting to try and get the required sag. What should the sag be for the rear? I also adjusted my gear lever slightly, It feels better but I need to train my foot, it needs to get used to the new position.

35mm with you on it .
Power wheelie are fun :-)

I managed to get my front wheel a good few inch off the floor going over a small crest which I didn't think was possible over that certain crest. Felt fantastic and scary at the same time because I didn't realise it until I felt the front end hit the road
