Ive disabled the start facility on mine, so its just remote ignition and alarm, so as long as there's enough juice in the battery to light up the dash then i can get her bump started:D
There is a chance of it cutting the ignition if its in your pocket so i keep the funky remote on a lanyard around my neck
I keep my remote in the inside pocket of my jacket and it's been OK.
Also, I extended the ignition plug wiring from the harness (under the tank) back to under the seat and re-connected the plug there. Then I went and got another connector plug the same as my original ignition unit and used that to wire in the remote / relay. This way I can disconnect the remote unit and plug the key ignition unit back in (just in case). Also, I can unplug the remote unit if I'm not going to be riding for a few days and my battery is then OK.
Yea, I keep mine in my jacket pocket as well and to this day have only knocked the ignition off once. Keep the pocket empty apart from the remore and you'll be sweet. Also the battery as to be totally dead for it not to work. I have had it so my battery couldn't turn over the bike a vew times but on each occasion the ignition was fine so I could bump start it without a problem. I've since gone the trickle charge and also made the effort to check my idiot lights everytime I walk away from the bike which was my main problem - getting distracted by people when I rock up somewhere.
Now the motors bedded in after the TT, ive turned the Dyna limiter up to 10.5K and have started to have a bit of fun on it :D. Its booked in with Ken Cooper the Gixer doctor on the 29/06 to get it set up good and proper on the dyno. Then its time to go hunt down the Busa/Gixer 1000 boys on the North Circular ;)
The last dyno booking never came thru :( BUT fingers crossed its going in at 9am later today ...(its 1am uk time;))
When you get the results let us know for the bragging board mate: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/ASF_member_times.asp
Will do mate, but im on the graveyard shift all week so wont get it back until next Saturday
I got the call from Ken Cooper at the dyno, its making 143 bhp at the wheel and 92ft torque, he reckons the exhaust is a bit of a compromise and that a bank of 38mm flatsides wouldn't go a miss [}:)]
Next on the wish list is an MTC lock up clutch ready for the go-go juice ;)
Send me a scan of the graph mate or just an email in the same format as the other listed so I can add yours. That's some good HP for a bandit mate.
I got the fone call this morning of Simon Everett the SF photo fella. He wants to shoot it 2morra morning[^] the trouble is im on late shifts, ive gotta collect the fucker from the dyno and scrub her down as it looks like its been off roadin'. Im thinking of either Winsor castle or Wormwood scrubs nick for the shoot location, or do you reckon somewhere industrial/getto looking
Good stuff exile and well worth a
few pages in the mag.
Nice Jim. The nick sounds more interesting than the cliche industrial thing.
