Expert and others are correct about the polarity of the pickups. I have fixed that issue. The pickups are now at 90° and it works. I'm working on the final design backplate now and mounting the triggers so they adjust as a pair (the software for the CDI allows for any other changes to the timing to be made).
I had intended to race it at the Taupo Road Race Spectacular but a lack of money has forced me to withdraw my entry. That also means not much is happening on the project as funds have ...

Hi everybody. I'm a new member to the KB forums. I have been a closet member for sometime and often refer to KB to find out 'what's goin' on'. Firstly, my appreciation of what KB does and the opportunity it gives us all to communicate directly with others who share the passion.

I live in sunny Nelson and ride a Triumph Trophy. (never too many sunny days...)

The race exhaust turned up today. I was like a kid on christmas day opening it. It's so small and light in comparison to what I'm used to fitting. All I could keep saying to my wife was, "It's so cute."

As soon as I had demolished my dinner I was in the garage fitting it to the bike. And WOW the noise was unreal. it's very well made, snaking up through the swing arm next to the rear shock and then up to the exhaust hanging mounting point on the frame. Where the muffler/expansion chamber ...

I’ve got to be honest, I am getting quite hooked on the idea of Bucket racing!

I will be heading out to the non championship round at Mt Wellington on 18/19 of December to have a look and maybe even have a go if I can source all the required gear in time. (Cheers Henk!)

What lead to this decision? Well a workmate and I were tossing the idea around at lunch and it got me thinking. . . The roads are too dangerous to try and get any real excitement and adrenaline out ...

I'm probably going to getting out to Hampton downs this Sunday if any one else is interested. That will wipe out those tyres ready and I can get some new ones for the 13th

Saturday 20th November is the third Saturday of the month, and accordingly, Botany Honda’s monthly ride. Pitching up at 1445, not a rider to be seen. A quick check with Richard and it appears it’s him and I. In that case, he can wait, so I head over to the gas station to get some gas.
Upon returning, there is now a big group of bikes waiting… excellent, the trick of leaving and them thinking it’s safe has worked. The plan would be perfect if I was leading them to their demise, but alas, that’s ...

It is finally happening to come together. I had a play with the fuel mapping today setting it up as recommended from a friendly member at another website.

i also had a play with the gear changer again. one of the connecting bolts was too long, allowing for too much movement. When changing gears so when changing down to first gear (which involves a fraction more movement than when changing down to other gears) there had been too much movement, stopping the gear change. I need to get ...
