Travels of a coil... and other tales

[Delphinus]

Well... Just got back from a definite 23 day "Adventure" around the north island. Left after work on the 4th, up to chch to stay with the excellent accommodation at Hotel Helen, then off to the Picton ferry the following day, via some devious roads recommended by lemans, and great fun they were indeed!

Met a really interesting biker on the ferry, so chatted away with him which made the voyage pretty quick, then into wellington at about 10.30, and off to get lost going the wrong way down the motorway, before finding my friends place I was staying for the night.

Following morning off up to Paekakariki hill (mmmm), back over that, then up to the Rimutaka's. Managed some great timing here, roadworks at the bottom, so big queue of cars, went to the front, friendly roadworkers waved me through ahead, and I got a magic clear run all the way up the hill. Just fantastic! (more mmmmmmmm)
Trucks down the other side were not so fun, but got through that easily enough. Then onwards up to Masterton to catch up with family.

Following day, headed up through Palmy North, took a friend for a ride, she loved it, and then continued on up to Taranaki, got in with a few motorbike groups on the way up which was nice, and then made it to my hometown of Opunake to spend some time up there with more family and friends, and go visit some clients.
Fantastic weather the whole time which was nice, and low levels of revenue gatherers too.

Stay tuned for the Forgotten Highway :)

its gonna be like my ride report jack .. a novel ... I love novels .. :yes:


:jerry: :jerry:

[Delphinus]

So headed off up to Stratford with Dad and Brother, gassed up, and headed for the hills..... The Forgotten Highway is an absolute stunner of a road. 35k corner after 35k corner. Hardly any other traffic, and of course the famous 15k left hander, all which were well enjoyed!
Came safely out the other side, after a few stops to let the old man on his Suzuki GS catch up, was hard work, definitely up for a meal or 2 by the time we got to Taumarunui, but the Triumph was in fantastic form. I very highly recommend this road if you get the chance. Just make sure to keep left as many of the locals cut corners.

So then leaving Tarmarunui headed up to Te Kuiti, and left at Otorohanga to bypass Hamilton, managed to hit some diesel in a gentle left hander that a bus ahead which had pulled over dropped I think. Whatever it was it was rather slippery and I got a hell of a fright to feel the rear drifting out all over the place. But made it out of that and called *555 to ask for it to be cleaned up.

So headed up the other side of the river and got to Huntly, only to hear this really strange rough exhaust noise coming from behind me, so looking behind me for some crappy car when I realise its me... and my engine warning light has come on...
Quick txt to Maha Man who arranged for a post to go up, and shortly Ixion rings me with Motu's number, who I call, and he directs me round to his place. I nana it over and just pull into his driveway when engine dies with a cloud of white smoke erupting from under the tank...
To cut a long story short, one of my coil plugs has completely blown its brains out, and no replacements are available in NZ for 3 weeks. Motu kindly lets me stay the night there, and the amazing Mrs Busa Pete comes down with the ute the following morning to pick up me and my yellow Triumph and take us up to AMPS! (http://www.amps.co.nz/)

The team there manage to find a 2nd hand coil, which they throw in, fix my broken fuel plugs, update the fuel mapping to latest, and send me happily on my way. Thanks for the really fast service team!

[Delphinus]

I make it up to Warkworth, dodging my way through the horrid auckland traffic (I think I'd be insane by now if I had to do it in a car) (Oh and why is the motorway limited to 80km/h???) and see some more family and catch up with Maha Man finally, who takes me for a wee ride round the local northland roads, good fun they are indeed! Also meet Mom (I have a something for you Oldrider) and enjoy the northland sun on their back lawn for a while, then head on my way. Left a small oil patch on the ground for them to remember me by (It only drops a wee bit when really hot).

Monday I hit the road again, and pop into cycletreads to put a new front on (Running out of tread on the sides before the middle :D) then carry on my merry way to the coromandel.
Some dude is waving at me to slow down for some reason, so I take it easy, and there is this massive queue of cars. Of course I sneak all the way to the front, and turns out they have blown the road up... well actually tried to blow a boulder out of the cliff to make a passing lane but it brought the whole cliff down onto the road about 3m deep. So we hang out for an hour or so talking to the other drivers while they (quite quickly) clear that.
They let me through first (:cool:) and I continue on to discover some of the most awesome smooth sweeping corners I've ever ridden on in some glorious country... Go the coromandel!
I eventually make it into another family members place (makes for cheap accommodation and food) in Tauranga, so stay the night there, then head for the east cape tuesday morning.

[ynot slow]

Strange road the FH to Whanga and further,more so when as you say keep left on corners,you come round a right hander heading from Stratford you meet two ladies on horseback,thank god for quiet farm hacks and slow corners.

Hate that 15km corner lol,you sort of think yeah right,take it at 30km,but nope.

Used to go to Aotuhia and other areas behind Whanga years ago,have a mate who did the walk to Whanganui river with me back in 1978,he has done the trek each decade since and is due this year the 30 yr since we did it.

Took me till last year to do the FH trip after living in the Naki all my life nearly,been out a few times,only ever on my bike,car to Pohokura is furtherist driven.

[Delphinus]

I catch up with DangerousBastard and then we head for the hills of the east cap. Back into real riding again woohoo. I show him a thing or 2, and we take in the awesome views, great corners, crystal clear blue waters, and gorgeous sun.
Hard work that road, rough tight corners, and plenty of them, arms haven't had this kind of workout for a while, but utterly worth it!
We make it into Ruatoria, and go to have a nice lunch, 2 "cafes" to choose from, Rods Takeaways, or some orange place that has.... fish and chips.... (with a salad).
Feed the bikes as well (fuel round the back of the supermarket if you need it here) then head on our way again. Make it to Tolaga bay, and stop for a water to cool down a bit, (also fuel available here, and some nicer places to eat) then keep going again....

Cruising along some straights at about 100, then I see that orange light again... and usual rough engine feel I'm getting to recognise so well.
I ring my dealer, who rekons its fine to ride on 3 cyclinders, so I head off again, and reach the first hill.
There is a clapped out old ute ahead towing a trailer, going extremely slow, who pulls over going up the hill on a wide road... I try and over take.... slowly... its rather embarrassing hardly being able to get past on a sportsbike, but we make it eventually. Until we get to the top of the hill... and bike dies completely. Clutch in, and roll over to a handy pull of zone and think... DAMN!
Also no cell coverage here, so I steal DB's bike and head back a bit to make a few calls.

Its getting just after 5 now, and I eventually get hold of a towie back in Tolaga Bay who comes to pick me up, and take me back into town. Yungatart does the "HALP ME" thread honours this time, and we also meet weaver, and book into the local pub backpackers for the night, then grab some nice cold drinks.

[Delphinus]

Next morning another friendly bikers friends friends mate comes along with a trailer to take me into Gisborne this time. To top things off the attachment onto the trailer breaks, and my poor yellow beastie falls over cracking a nice big chunk out of the fairing!! :cry:

They drop me off at an extremely friendly bike shop (D & D Motorcycles - I very highly recommend them). Not a Triumph dealer (none in Gisborne) but they did what they could, and let me use their phone and computer to do my best to source some more parts. BikeTranz unfortunately dont come out to gisborne, and all the advice the Triumph dealers are giving me over the phone is check the earths, 2nd hand coil might be faulty too, or there is water getting in somewhere.
I end up ordering a new coil from the very friendly team at Peter Stevens Motorcycles, in Melbourne, and they ship it over to Auckland for me in an overnight delivery, Thanks team! Unfortunately due to easter none of the couriers are running Friday so it doesn't look like I'll be getting it for some time....

I eventually give up, and get a ride back to Palmerston North with a friend. Thanks again to D&D for hanging round late that night for my friend to turn up.

[Delphinus]

Enter KB to the rescue... AGAIN! Brett picks it up from DHL depo in Auckland, and delivers it to Opunake, my brother takes it from there and leaves with ynot slow in Hawera, who then hands it on to Chanceyy, who goes out of her way to make a special trip up to Hawera, and bring it back (drugs included) to me in Palmerston North, even with a multiple bike escort! Thanks Chanceyy, you're amazing!

So with a brand new coil safely on my person, back up to Gisborne I trek, to put it in and try for the best. I'm very short on options a the moment, and decide to ride it back to a more useful area to get looked at properly. Engine warning light is still on, but its running fine, so keeping a close eye on everything I start riding south. Some great roads up there, and bike is running well. 1 speed camera van in the only straight in the middle of heaps of uphill corners, with plenty of trucks, but we spot that plenty early and give him a wave, and continue on.

30kms north of napier, I'm in the middle of a corner and the back gives a wiggle... hrrm thats strange, must have been something on the road, unfortuntely the wiggle is getting worse, so pull over to discover a flat back tyre! OMG... can it get any worse!

After getting sick of breaking down, I signed up to the AA just 3 days ago, so find a bit of reception and give them a call. They end up sending TWO trucks to get me, and strap the bike down tight, and deliver me into Pro Cycles in Napier.
They clear the fault codes with their Triumph Tool ($40) and have few tyres available to fit my bike, but find something that will do $315 + $60 fitting (is that high? My local shop does it free...)

Bike looks to be running ok with faults cleared, so I pop round to meet Yungatart (finally) and the crew there, and have a delicious dinner there too. Yum yum thanks Janet!

[Padmei]

quick quick what happens next ? what happens nexxxxxtttt??????

[ynot slow]

Mate I did stuff all,was thinking of helping if able to,that Manawatu and Wellie crew just wanted an excuse for a ride,and try our cafes without a surcharge woohoo,Chanceyy gets the credit.:hug:

Your brothers bike was a sight,used to seeing 750's or similar size in drive,nice small bike,cruises well.The dog liked it too,usually barks madly at cars when they arrive,he gave a muffled woof,then sniffed and approved,must be the suzuki factor.

[tri boy]

Holy hell dude. Last I heard you were up n rolling out of Aucks.:spudwow:

[Delphinus]

hXc then proceeded to show me the interesting roads south, and left me to go on my merry way after the fun stuff ended. Cheers for that you ride well.

Kept a reasonable pace going (dark and empty roads) and was just 10kms out of Masterton (Staying the night there with Mum) and I see some red and blue flashing lights in the distance. Hit the anchors and see its only a house on the move. Look down... and what do you know... coils gone again! I take it easy, and squeeze past the house, running on 3 cylinders again, and manage to limp it home to Masterton and put the damn thing in the garage...

Chanceyy mentioned a Triumph Specialist in Opunake (of all places) and dogsandbikes gave me his details.
I give him a ring - Kerry from Triple Fourensics (06 761 8289) and he thinks he knows what it is. Turns out I also knew his son years and years ago!

Within a few hours, he has managed to source another coil for me, and I have arranged with biketranz to get it up to him. They didn't have room on that days truck, but ANZA Motorcycles (http://www.anzamotorcycles.co.nz/) in Palmerston North were kind enough to let me store the bike there for a few days until biketranz can pick it up. Thanks guys!

Work are getting annoyed at me for being 4 days late for work, so I have actually flown back home to Dunedin now (Thanks again to Helen for letting me stay a night there on the way home). Bike will be going up to Kerry soon and I'm sure he'll sort it out.

[chanceyy]

Nah never need an excuse to go for a ride & just managed to convince the posse to come along .. big ups to Grub, Nasty & dingoz who rode fr welly & bonez & nzsarge .. great guys to go riding with :niceone:

as for me had not ridden past wangas yet so new road & it was a total blast .. good to finally met janine & tony ..

it was just wot the good mood doctor ordered :)

Besides Jack you would do the same for anyone else who was stuck .. it gets passed around & we know its appreciated

yeah us the "drug Runners" & we were all legal .. although I did have to wonder about grub acting drunk & falling over in front of a cop that he never realised was behind him

[Delphinus]

So all in all its been an interesting few weeks.

Cat ate my laptop power cable on the way north... no power = no laptop
Coil blew - Huntly
Coil Blew - East Cape
Bike falls over on trailer - East Cape
Flat tyre north of Napier
Coil blows again near Masterton
Cellphone screen dies meaning I can now only read it about 30% of the time. Will need replacing as well dammit.


I've gone beyond the point of crying, and just laugh if anything else happens now...

Oh and guess what, I get home finally, to discover my landlord has given me my 4 weeks notice!!!! ARRGHHH

[Grub]

I hadn't heard about the puncture ... that's my punch line you're stealing y'know. You're right, could it have got any worse! Waiting, waiting waiting to see if the bike makes it back to Dunners.

[chanceyy]

this man deserves a DB ..

:niceone: :sunny:

[Grub]

.. although I did have to wonder about grub acting drunk & falling over in front of a cop that he never realised was behind him

Worse .... I did it on Nasty's bike :nono:

Holy shit thats some bad luck.As people say what goes round,comes round,you must have done some bad shit lately lol.

I thought it was bad at the mission vineyard last year when the car blew the top radiator tank by the cap,whilst waiting to park in high 20deg temps,then having to go on truck to Norsewood,then next day to Palmy,and the Monday being Auckland anniversary weekend.
Found out there are some great people out there,the Dannevirke garage owner and wife towing us to Palmy on Sunday,the radiator specialist who opened up Sunday and fitted new core the first thing Monday.

[chanceyy]

let us know wot Kerry finds .. be interesting for sure :yes:

[ynot slow]

If you need any help with bike etc,gives a call,happy to help out.

[ynot slow]

Should have sold the story to new idea or similar,even the Aussie kayakers' story pales into insignificance to this one.

heh good point, I should try.

[chanceyy]

hmmmmm just had a thought:blip: ... next mission getting bike from opunake to dunners ..



sooooooooooooo am sure kbers could do a test ride down ie I can pick it up from hawera to welly :whistle: dogsnbikes could prob get it across on the ferry, then its up to the south island crew to get it from picton to dunners :bleh:

by the time it got to dunners we can confirm coil probs would be over

:killingme ...

You'll be lucky!
I actually still have a bluebridge booking for me and bike south, which I have postponed for a while, I'm hoping to get up north again somehow (cheap preferred) and ride it home properly... Will work that one out when I get there.

:lol: .. ohh well it was worth a shot :rofl:

hmm we might have to escort you to the ferry to make sure the bike makes it outta the north island .. & also if you travelling bluebridge should try to get on dogsnbikes sailing .. then you can talk trumpy's & kerry's good work together .. (not to mention he will look after you)

[BiK3RChiK]

You gotta look on the bright side, Jack! At least you still have your job!! Even if you did turn up 4 or 5 days late...

[Motu]

Let us know what the problem was when Triple Fourensics have the bike sorted.Very little can blow a coil from the primary end,unless the one coil is being sent a very high voltage....so that leaves a sparkplug,or the tube connection between coil and plug.

[Delphinus]

Will definitely keep you posted. We checked the sparkplugs as well as we could, they seemed ok. The tube connection between coil and plug is all part of the coil I've been replacing each time. is that what you meant?

[Motu]

Yes,so if it comes with the coil,and the last one was new,that shouldn't be a problem....unless damaged in transit.Think the water analogy again - we are going to burst part of the system,namely the coil.So we need to cause a restriction,and so increase the pressure and blow out the weak spot.So we could just increase the pressure from the input end (high voltage) or cause a restriction at the output end (high resistance)....either one will blow out the weak connection between (coil).

[CookMySock]

Well, I thought MY trip around east cape was a trial by fire, but your trials and tribulations well exceed mine by several orders of magnitude. :crazy:

I watched your bike on the trailer for while and the steering wasn't set straight.. It seemed to me that it was a little vulnerable like that, but it wasn't actually moving so I let you go. I was rather shocked to read about your further misadventures with the trailer hitch. I didn't think to look at that. Who would have ever thought ...?

It felt strange passing your bike on the trailer and heading off on my own - freedom and speed again, but a twinge of sadness for the bright yellow machine that had so resoundly beaten me in that drag race - now silent and its rider despondent, so my 150 click crackle past and wave from up front there had a different feeling attached to it, not the one that I was expecting.

Some days its great to just be back home with all the toys put away safely in the shed, with nothing major broken.

Indebted to ride with you bud.
DB

[yungatart]

What an adventure!
It makes for great reading.
We were glad to be able to help, although I feel bad that we couldn't do more.
BTW folks, Hannah (her of ute and trailer fame) is Zac's ex girlfriend. I'm so glad he manges to stay friends with his ex's.. that is the only time KB has let us down.
Despite trying desperately I could not get a KB er to help Jack out in Tolaga Bay. Hannah, you rock!

We're making progress...

I wonder if Kerry knows its not a dirt bike...

[oldrider]

I have seen that little yellow bike in my mirrors from time to time but not lately though! :Pokey:

Quite a story there Jack. Good luck with fix. :2thumbsup Cheers John.

Oh and I have a certain something to pass onto you too John.... From Mom...

[ynot slow]

Looks like my cousins' bike after getting the cows in,bugger no water shortage now.

[Delphinus]

I'm extremely impressed with Kerry's work (Triple Fourensics) and couldn't recommend him enough.
He's plugged his computer in, methodically checked all the wiring, found Ignition coil loom rubbing on crankcases & kinked, fixed idle trim from 43.7 (rich down to 11.7 (leaner) Its had issues with the surging idle for forever, not sure why noone else has been able to fix it. As well as fixing some other bits and pieces....
And now for the test ride... and its not just any round the block test ride, but a 700km test ride!!! He actually took it all the way from Opunake to Rotorua and back (return trip in heavy rain) with his sensors monitoring system etc attached.
All with pictures of progress, and being informed via txt and email whats going on every step of the way.

And he can also put a proper fuel mapping in, "I have also extensively studied the running data, and have built a fuel map that would cure your low speed/rpm problems and give some more mid-range. Can also adjust the thermo fan & rev limiter."

It'll be a new machine when I get it back!

[MSTRS]

It'll be a new machine when I get it back!

Hell, it might even be a GSXR :Pokey:

[Mom]

Oh and I have a certain something to pass onto you too John.... From Mom...

Top effort mate! Nothing like a bit of an adventure, out and about. Glad to have been able to help you out. This KB community really is something special for sure. Thanks too for remembering that certain something for John. Let me know how it goes...LOL

[oldrider]

pfft you mean you're in my mirrors! :devil2:

Thank you for not wasting my little shot at you! :lol:

All suspense about Mom's surprise! :blip: Cheers John.
