Offers there..

Any of you boys got a pair of forks, triple clamps, and front discs laying around? lol I want to get rid of the TZR forks (one is leaking anyway)

[jono035]

I'd use it as an excuse to move to a programmable CDI

I've got a spare CDI floating around. Could send that down for you to test with if need be.

you taking the piss? its hard to tell.

Luke is putting Keihin FCR carburettors on his NC30. I adore the FCR's though they are notoriously expensive and difficult to set up. Plus he has to make mounts and linkages etc.

Nope i never even seen my carbs let alone no what numbers there called hehe

remember not all us here are experts like you fellows so i know the nc30 is a 400cc vfour honda the one with out single sided swing arm ?

Just finally got around to installing the Ignitech programmable CDI that I bought ages ago.

Took the bike for a blast, no more noticeable flat spot then surge at 7k, instead it's smooth through the range. I can't tell whether the bike would be noticeably faster or not, but it's way nicer to ride around town.

Also, apparently my tacho was reading 10% high, too...

Edit: Just having a bit more of a play with it, it seems to ignore the side-stand cut off switch. There was a box in the software that said 'inputs for neutral side and stand' but checking it just made the bike never start, no matter what clutch/shifter/side stand position it was in... Anyone else using one of these and trying to keep the cut-out?

Hey cheers guys, but Gingin already had a look for me found it to be working on his (financial relief for me ) so it's a matter of going back through the whole electrical system with my [cough] awesome mechanical skills to try & find the fault.

Grab a can of that, pull all the connectors and give the contacts a liberal dosing. You can use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol, but that stuff is easier and better on the female faston type connectors.

Look for any corrosion or other white/blue powdery stuff both on the contacts and in the backshells that they're clipped into. Give each wire a firm tug to try pull it out of the backshell, sometimes they'll be broken or the crimps will have failed.

Go along the loom section by section looking for any spots where it might have rubbed against the frame or something and worn through. Check that you've got good continuity between the battery -ve terminal and ground, both on the engine and on the frame.

Beyond that, I have no ideas other than find someone with an oscilloscope and start checking sensor outputs.

[crazy man]

Haven't put it in yet. I have a hunch that it would push the front end about something fierce.

Will get some forks first, then put the shock in.

hows the racing gone this weekend on the classic's

hows the racing gone this weekend on the classic's

Not bad aye. Snagged a couple of thirds, not bad considering Nick Cole and another very fast bloke named Chris Swallow were at the front of the pack..

Had some good battles with a dude that used to w00p my ass. Managed to get off the track and onto the grass at 100mph on the top of the hill, stayed on the bike though. Primo weekend man.

Only problem now is waiting for the next round of racing eh..

Yeah man they are very very quick dudes on very well sorted bikes..

I haven't had my bucket out for about 8 months. I'm making a new fuel tank for it at the moment, as I lost the key to the stock one.. Once the tank is in and a cover made for it, I'll get out when I can..

I see you made a frame for a dudes bucket. Looks pretty mint.

Isn't that the truth! With such a good weekend as we just had, I can't wait to get out on the track next weekend at Hampton Downs too!

Two weekends of racing, then followed immediately by spectating at Paeroa. This is shaping up to be a fine February!
