All Activity

Had a nice dinner with Sofia, and now settling in from if the TV to see some Youtube Dakar broadcasts and drink a little whiskey. Happy New Year to all!

Congratulations @Saul, BOTY!

No but seriously are you planning to turn the busa into a full blown drag bike ? So your not riding it anymore..?

I just hope i can make to next year, at the Moment looks like the lad is about to through me out now his Mum has gone and the house will be his. anybody UK want milling machine Lathe band saw and Bench drill...the later has not drilled a hole yet...i will be buggered if i leave them for him i will cut them up or give them the scrap man first... No bull offer. PS: i would like 3grand for the lot but: Ow! just remembered..Also 500kl bike lift goes up vertically not in an arc..drybollic with small compressor for locks..

What about the beauty salon ?

That a 2v model Nute?

My plan for this year is a full season of rwyb at santa pod getting ready for bracket racing in 2027

Is he one of those who's tyres cant keep him upright? If so I think he should look at how he's riding before he runs out of his 9 lives, and hopefully long before he does something big

Earth connection was the first thing I looked at, injectors are new, loom is the original and the bike ran (briefly and like a tractor) before I pulled it apart. Continuity, where I can check it is fine. They are crank position sensors, two of them, at 0 and 180 degrees from memory when I pulled the cover off. Depending on how long I spend at the pub tonight I will have a look tomorrow and see what sense I can get from them as Ian suggests with a magnet. I assume I’m looking for a gradual change 0-12v across the signal and ground ( there are 3 wires) ?

Prolly not, his problem if he gets stopped. Shadow’s, is that’s all that concerns me.

You jumping on the band wagon too

Let's start with the basic numbskull...before he starts waving around magnets on a magic wand ...

What sensor are you checking ? Crank sensor ? I imagine you've already checked the injector for 12v and ground ?

surely that front L-plate is not legal?

If you find the specs of the sensors you can make them easily enough. They are a very simple and readily available semiconductor device. You can test them with a multimeter, just power up the circuit then look for a fluctuation in voltage when you run a magnet near them.

Will that be before or after the flounce?

Well it might be not about wild predictions, but more like what you all have in plan for 2026...for me I've got to take my health more seriously and start exercising.., id love to try to make it to sturgis this year , it should be a 2 week journey or possibly more...something I've never attempted before...being on the road for that long...

5. The artist formally known as Marcel will not take his meds go dolally and flounce. Then come back a few weeks later as if nothing happened. Happened before

Yep, all possible

Spent all afternoon fitting How Highs Christmas present and repairing the fairing panels they mount two. Both were cracked and split where he dropped the death trap on separate occasions. Anyway two new front indicators a tube of epoxy putty and a load of new push button fixings and it’s holding together again.

Do i look stupid

Still not got around to the grips… Did fill it with gas, oil, coolant, turns over OK but injectors not injectoring. Process of elimination so far, and something Im not sure how to test is the Hall effect sensors. As luck would have it they are not made anymore, so tracked down some chinesium equivalents ( supposedly) on Aliexpress and waiting for them to show up. Obviously what will eventually arrive will be carpet slippers or a concrete fence post but will have to wait and see.
