Re: Slip on exhausts and cracked liners

I don't think that's what causes it. I ran a slip on with a Dynojet kit and my liners in number 2 still cracked. I think one of the reasons they crac…login to view the rest of this post

For the price of a new sensor, you might as well replace it and be sure what your thermoswitch is doing. The wire that attaches to the radiator was b…login to view the rest of this post

Re: Hello

Did you order a wiring kit with the reg/rec? Yeah I ordered the same kit I used on my sp1. If you could still post a few pics of how yours is fitted and wires routed so I've got an idea of how others have done it that would be great cheers https://i.postimg.cc/0KvrPwCJ/Screenshot-20200706-221843-co...

Re: Hello

I found the thread - it was April 2015. In the last post I said that I'd take some photos... can't believe it's over 5 years, which means the Yuasa battery is also 5 years old. I'll take some photos, although the wiring is well hidden. I thought it bolted onto metal, but it was over 5 years ago now...

Re: Hello

There should be a thread on this, but it will be quite a few years ago and I may have used Photobucket to host the photos. :( Probably easier just to take some new ones. It did take a little trial and error to find a neat way to route everything. I have searched but couldn't find any threads with p...

Re: Hello

Welcome, looks good and in the fastest colour. :) The reg/rec on mine was faulty and stopped charging as the revs increased. So it was OK if you were taking it easy but you couldn't ride it hard for long. Took me a little while to understand what was happening... I replaced mine with a Shindengen F...
