Needs a few thing sorted - wiring related. On the ride home got the F.I on the tacho aka Fault Indicator and at times it would run rough and almost stall. Once home checked the dealer fault codes - sure enough C24 Ignition signal #1 (Front cylinder) circuit malfunction. PO said the radiator fan was not working and this was fixed by a shop. I suspect either the coil is playing up or to fix the fan the wiring around the coil was damaged as the issue is intermittent.
Bike has aftermarket LED indicators installed and not to my wiring standards so this will need to be addressed when I go over the loom. But for now it will just sit in the garage as I have some tin top projects I need to finish (1970 Mini Cooper S replica - my track car, and a 1977 Datsun 260z 2 seater that needs loom work and assembly after repaint)
Plan for this bike is:
1. Sort wiring issues.
2. Suspension improvements.
3. Tidy/clean/paint.
4. Front brake improvement/going over, doesn't stop as well as I recall.
That is about it - small pic all I have currently.
Like you say small pic but hey looks ok to me,congrats.On the brake thing i (years back) did the braided lines then fitted some Busa 6 pots (hard to believe but they seemed worse) and as i mentioned in the end fitted some K5/6 ? GSXR forks which are still on the thing today and work bloody well.Enjoy her mate and post up progress,had mine since forever and still puts a smile on my dial.
Be the person your dog thinks you are...
