well fitted dynojet kit put carbs on to balance and could not get no3 carb slide to move on vacuum so swopped out diaphragm from my original carbs and fixed that next problem no2 carb won't balance so looks like I may have a blockage somewhere will have to strip down and clean again unfortunately my radiator has begun leaking at the joint where I had it modified so that has to come back off to get sorted so not a happy bunny, was nice to see mark and mike today when they popped in for a cuppa.

[haveugot1 0]

Oh so sorry to hear m8. Good to se you again and thanks for the coffee. We went to richmond afters for a ice cream yum yum
.

[gravelrash 0]

Great to see you again Ian bike looks even better in the flesh your bound to get little niggles when you do such a major modification but it will deffo be worth it in the end, great work mate and you missed a lovely ice cream!

[madcarper 0]

got these from Germany this week


fitted them on bike bled them and the clutch master started leaking so swopped it for the zzr1400 radial clutch master I had now works perfect. not sure about the front brake action yet seems to be a lot of travel on the lever before the pistons start to really grip I've got the lever cable tied back to see if its just some air in there. might end up changing the master cylinder later.


I will have to get a shorty lever to match the front brake.
also got the carbs all balanced with the new jet kit in and k and n filter



fitted a new gel battery under the seat hump I will probably change this later for a lypo to save some weight, so just need digital speedo and a few loose ends to sort out and i'm just about there build wise, will have to see what a test ride's like for any fine tuning although I did ride it up and down my street a couple of times today and it feels pretty good.

saw the bike at wetlands tonight and it looks awesome and had quite a crowd round it also me mate had his 500 triple kawasaki there for the first time and it had a crowd round it as well ian painted that also hes done both my lads cars and theyre absolutely stunning ill post some pics when i can  

[madcarper 0]

well I finally got my fueling issues sorted today yippee!
turns out the air pipe which pressurises the float boals was not getting the correct pressures , so I have now routed the pipes into the bottom of the airbox so they sit behind the filter and now have equal pressure . this cured all the cruising problems but w.o.t. was still a bit rough so lifted the needles to the highest point and bike now pulls great and is smooth reving.
I would like a bit more midrange grunt but I reckon this is down to the muzzy 4 into 1 and racing can being a bit to free flowing
when I get a chance I will get it back on the dyno and see how it looks. thanks for all the support and encouragement.  

[dick65 0]

great she's running well and sorted ian - you done a great job there m8 a credit to you  
you riding her tomorrow ?

[madcarper 0]

yes m8 i'll be on the zed.

[dick65 0]

excellent ian can't wait to see it    

[madcarper 0]

made a few changes fitted radial front master cylinder, new x-ring chain,decided I did not like the look of the jubilee clips on the plumbing so I got some of those that look like a hydraulic hose fitting but have a jubilee clip hidden inside just got 2 to see what they were like need to get another 5 for the other side, got my wideband air fuel ratio gauge and I welded the bung for the oxygen sensor into my link pipe wired it up and it works great. painted my wheels gold and clad in new contiroad attack 2 tyres. changed the oil in my forks. and finally treated the bike to a new paintjob, my seat is away getting recovered to match the new paintwork. looking forward to getting back out on her soon.






when I get my seat back I will be able to see what the fueling is like on the road.

took a few tools on a run out yesterday to try and tweek my suspension settings got it a little better but I need softer fork springs fitting as have backed the preload full off and still can't get the required amount of sag, so its compromising the back end setting, on a plus note I have just about got my fueling dialled in to where I want it after fitting my afr I ended up putting in a much bigger main jet and shimming the needles as they were at the max lift on the adjustable clips. so the ram air mods k and n filter muzzy pipes and racing can must be pushing a lot more air flow than standard set up. but need to get the suspension sorted cos it gets a bit lary at high speed over bumps.
ps I can now take my carbs off blindfolded.   

[madsod 0]

Nice on does take time to get it right but well worth it in the end ,

I can read it, but I swear he's not speaking English                

Impressive mate. It's taken you time to do, as the good things always do, but the end product is stunning                 
Hats off to you mate. Respect               

[dick65 0]

suspensions a black art I rarely touch mine and only if the bikes like a kangaroo on speed   
I had to do the Cat last year as I reckon a right porker had owned it everything was maxed out so I backed it off one and a quarter turns and shes rock steady now, im sure you'll get there ian might be worth going with mark when he gets his set up just to see whats what
