Impromtu gravity attacks
I finally got around to trying out the throttle position switch disconnection...
Basically it made no difference to the bikes performance, 2nd gear full speed before disconnection was 90Km/hr (rev limiter cutting in) and the same after disconnection.
No percievable difference in acceleration etc.
So.. another mystery solved? maybe not.

An Acerbis DHH was the first light I put on the Nordie after the write-off.
2*15W of non-DOT halogen light isn't a hell of a lot
I have a spare UFO that may get used if I change the forks although 5W of blinkers isn't a hell of a lot either.

The dimension isn't too bad.
The number board will have a good spoiler effect as well.

Finally decided to take the header weld back to flush with the header wall.
No lip at all now.
While it was off I should have measured the exhaust port dia. to see if it matched the header

It is a DR650 thread... more precisely it's Nordies DR650 thread all about Nordies DR650.

After seeing and playing with Ryans new braided front brakes I went home and bled mine (very dark fluid) and...
It's no different
I'm getting a braided line too now
On Ryans I could single/two finger the brake lever and it didn't pull in anywhere near my other knuckles.
It's like night and day.

Me thinks me might add that to the tweaks list, am told it makes a big difference to the old single disc Trasnsalps too. Just never got around to doing it before.

Oi you - leave my bike alone!!!!!!After seeing and playing with Ryans new braided front brakes I went home and bled mine (very dark fluid) and...

I was happy with the old set up but was told it would be cheaper for a braded line than to get a factory line. Hope it is not to hard to modulate though - dont want to lock the front to easily on gravel/dirt.
Hopefully the bike will be ready shortly then you could maybe take if for a little ride Nordie (if you play nice)???? Might be an interesting comparison of a stock (as far as I know) bike versus your moded bike. You know how I'm missing the micro switch on the carb (for a NZ model) - maybe its not stock given it was sold new in Mot?????

Make me!
I only pulled the lever while Wayne was trying to fix the dash wiring
I think the main difference is there isn't any "sponginess", it's a more direct connection fron your fingers to the disc - I tested the difference with mine and could feel the brake line expand as I squeezed the lever hard - Hmmm, cheap ABS?.
Would be interestink, even with the 15t sprocket
Also to let Wayne ride both and comment as an impartial observer.
I keep feeling that it's not an "official" import - No TPS, bigger hole in pipe, brake light.
Murray Thorn may have got it in direct for someone or that's what NZ got that year.
