    A week back the ignitor box packed a sad, got a 750 one in the mail today. I was told it has a slightly more advanced ignition curve, haven't ridden to see the difference.

    I have done the work needed to be re registered, need mirrors so will probably just get a RHS bar end mirror. Thats all thats needed for a warrant, right?

    Will give her away to be checked over next week.
    Will post a list of all costs later when Im home.

    B-T

    I hate to bring it up now that you have already bought it, but if the Ignitor is from a 2LM FZR750, it will not make good power.

    The 2LM model was from Japan and was horsepower limited. One of the mods to restrict power was to change the ignition curve in the Ignitor box (severely retarded, not advanced as mentioned). If the box has 2LM as part of the model info, it will not do that motor justice.

    Hope you got a good one.

    He may be talking new aftermarket 750 ignitor as I have seen then advertised as being retro fit to the genesis 1000.

    Bit of an update
    The bike was at the certifiers this week. all sweet but failed me on a fuel leak by the tap, no rear reflector and a little exhaust leak which was fixed with exhaust cement.

    I sent the ignitor back to BikeBusters in the waikato as he was happy to swap it, Wayne is his name and is very helpful.

    Now I have to wait to get the right ignitor back which should be tuesday, then book a re-check and then get my plate and rego befre the end of the week if all goes well.

    Total cost so far about $2500 plus rego, which is about $330 with a plate.
