Hangin out for an update.
My oldest son, who was a wee tyke when this whole thing started, is now a motorcyclist himself, studying to become an engineer, and needs inspiration.
When do we get to see this damned thing going?

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

I keep getting sidelined. I'm building a new engine for a mate's bucket and there's always something to do with the dirt bike but riding season is over for a while. I have new jets and the Ignitech ignition showed up Friday so I can start wiring that in. Figured it wasn't worth dynoing until that was done and can also drive the power valve the way I want.
Rode it down to TSS err, about 3 years ago.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
So... sounds like it's suffering the same fate as my Katana.
That one has now been picked up by eldest son, who figures its a good project for him as he progresses through his mechanical engineering training.
If he had a bit more money I'd encourage him to get a bucket. However, at the moment anything that happens to his current motorcycle is coming out of my back pocket so I'll hold off a touch.
It would be great to see that two smoker finally sorted. In the meantime I'll get my F5 Dave blog fix looking at the magic you're doing to that old TF engine...

Sheesh. So new ignitech ignition. Can hold power valve closed till 7000rpm or whatever I like.
Started it today and adjusted the base ignition timing. Sounds crisp.
Also has quick shifter, shift light and can fit tis for 3D map.
Take it to the dyno shortly.

Back at the Dyno. Maybe last time I can use it. But overall a good visit.
On a cool night I think that would have touched 100. Not too shabby for what started as a RZ350.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Not a bad effort.
I see your problem though - 138MJ. Obviously the carbs are too small
Yeah I went for 35s instead of 39s to try boost midrange but also mileage as it is indeed a roadbike with an already small tank.
Plus the 39s would have struggled to physically fit.

There's a heap several pages back. Its skeletal currently, a mass of wires etc but I'm going to sling it all back together soon now I'm more or less happy with how it's running.
Brakes not so much. I bought some nissin calipers off Daytona600, but they are Yam spacing. I need RF900 ones.

Rush of blood to the head and I hit buy on some Triumph 600 calipers. Known mod for RZs. But different spacing from RGVs. Bugger.
Ordering some RF900 ones instead.

2 stroke frenzy ride over the break then?
Damn straight! Best put the twin seat back on the NSR. Just in case.

PISS!! Can't fit them with the straight brake line fittings. Have to send them up for new ends like angled dummy one shown. Actually the bike came with those nasty coloured ally fittings so they were ripped off.
Not sure why I kept then but use was as a template.
Of course a two week wait before could even start the job.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Yeah. Nah.
Probably won't fracture and then fail at a later date. But I'd hate myself if it did.
