Re: Won't start
Had my eyes open nothing turned up as yet!
Just re read this thread - realized I swear too much and have a crap memory as I had forgotten half the things I had done and redone. I think the overall message with this build is buy a decent compression tester - then borrow a different one to confirm if the first one was right . Then borrow a different one for a final check.
For another bike project I am working on (turbo related - cant get away from the things) i am having to learn how to do and interpret Computational Fluid dynamics. Lots of people use this in everyday engineering design and I wondered if anyone on here has a scooby about this subject - shot in the dark maybe but i never ceased to be impressed by the wealth of knowledge here.

Forum member has sold his and neither of the above suppliers have stock or know when they are going to get any more.

Re: Won't start
Chaps
I owe you an apology for my absence and lack of updates, particularly in line with the amount of help and support you have given.
In a Nutshell since January i have been tied up with work probably putting in a 7 day a week innings to make a crust. I can't complain about being busy though as that's a good thing. The majority of my free time has been taken up trying to get the drag bike I am building/working on in some sort of shape. It's a turbo charged 810 Kwak with lots of trick bits - unfortunately it has had a hard life with the previous owner and the start point was a total rewire - long story short - it runs and now its being totally dismantled to to try and get a few more horses and a bit of plenum redesign.
So to the Yam
All that was left to do when i last posted was to put on the plastics and ride into the sunset. Irritatingly after assembly i noticed some technical mistakes in the respray patterns so it was dismantled and resprayed again - yes I told you early in this thread I am anal.
Two weeks ago i got back all the plastics to my satisfaction and reassembled the bike (the spray job started last May - wont say who did it but if you want to know the trials and tribulations PM me). I took it out for a ride and was pleased with the results although the suspension needs setting up properly and there is still a "Fueling Issue" (i think that is where i started). It runs rich and i am going to put it on a rolling road to sort the fueling and find out how many horses it s capable of.
This weekend was to be MOT time but the "evil" work has crept in again so that's off the cards at the moment. I am actually working in the Isle of Man this week so will be doing a few quiet miles on the circuit on a mates (who lives on the lands ) commuter bike. Could be worse.
I promise I will update all withe progress!!!!

Re: Won't start
Drag Bike .... now that's not a bike in womens clothing is it ?
You know the rules about pictures (although you're away on work so there's a bit of leeway)
The FZR - once the carbs and suspension is set up you'll have a great bike

]The Highs, Lows and A Favour Needed
Ok it's finish and I MOTed it on Saturday. A bit sad that the the guy I have been using in Stroud for MOTs is retiring after 35 years and this was my last MOT with him.
Bike passed with no problem and I was able to get out for the first decent ride since I finished it.
The handling, power, braking all surpassed expectation and I think I probably had one of the best rides I have had in a long time. Sort of made up for some of the shit I have had will the build. I was really impressed with the bike and did about 60 miles of twisty roads in the sunshine - marvellous! Came home and so excited that I went straight back out. I stopped at a garage to fuel up and the bike fell off the side stand! I scratched the mirror but cracked the generator cover. It can be welded and and repainted but it will take time and I want to ride the bike.
So my request is can anyone lend me, for a week or two, a generator cover Part No 3tj-15415-00 whilst I get the other one shorted - I will pay courier etc.
Thanks in advance of help.
Incidentally I should be really pissed off but I am very happy with the bike.
