    Handling upgrades / frame stiffeners

    Unless you have addressed the suspension then adding frame braces or solid mounts is unlikely to give significant benefit. Also IMO either braces or mounts- you don't need both.

    Paint. Experts chime in please

    Oh go on, you know you want to...you could have something like this. 😀

    Paint. Experts chime in please

    Post #4 explains the process. I had a belly pan decal wrapped and whilst it looked OK in MO it wasn't a patch on what I subsequently has hydro dipped. It lacked the gloss and depth that the lacquer coat gives. Also attached full list of paint codes and colours.

    Brake upgrade ultimate stopping power

    That would suggest that the lever ratio (m/c piston area to caliper piston area) to too low. Suggest a m/c with a smaller diameter piston will help.

    And note that they are handed.

    Paint. Experts chime in please

    That effect is applied by hydo dipping which then transfers whatever is on the decal onto the part. The effect can be altered by changing the colour of the base coat. a clear coat is then applied. Not that this process is different from a vinyl wrap. This is how I got the carbon effect on my...

    Need help identifying electrical connector.

    This will sound sarcastic but isn't intended to be; you need to look for a similar connector. If memory serves well (dubious) there is only one like this on the loom and may be from or to the alternator.

    Which carburetor needle to choose, I need your advice.

    Attached are the instruction for fitting the DJ S7 which has the part numbers of the components. Is there somewhere you could get it on a dyno so you had factual data to work on? (Aw c'mon, you would have been disappointed if I hadn't asked! 😁 )

    Changing front tire, need help with options and with brake system.

    Yes it i possible. If you have stainless for front and rear brakes then if only for aesthetic reasons I would go with SS. As Mr Medic has mentioned a rubber reinforced hose will have some flex in it and the longer the hose the greater this will be. Don't know how much this may affect the feel of...

    engine case swap

    Perhaps I'm missing something but why can't you count the number of wires on the lead coming out of the flywheel cover> Five with twin pick-up and two with single.

    Vmax suddenly barely idles…won’t run

    But it will idle satisfactory when testing.

    Front and rear wheel conversion

    Short answer - I 'm very happy with them. Longer answer - How much benefit they gave I can't say as I also had the motor bored to 1300 and the heads gas flowed with an already fitted Holeshot exhaust. A dyno run gave 137 GG's albeit with a misfire ('cos some moron hadn't screwed a plug lead into...

    Power boost at high RPM 8K

    Agree with both of the posts above. How do you synchronise the carbs without V Boost?

    IGNITER BOX

    Apart for making sure it is correct for your bike, no.

    Hard to find neutral, when bike heats up???

    It has a gasket. If it is a clunky shifter has a full plate replaced the half plate which will introduce this. Will give a rattle at idle too. As the OE hose will be some 22 years old the rubber may be tired so a single piece hose should give a firmer lever but not necessarily improve the shifting.

    Tach and 2 cylinders dead when hot

    IMO what you have is OK. Cap I don't, much higher cost for no benefit. Stick with DPR8EA-9 NGK caps haven't given me any problems. If there is sparking from the HT leads or cap then that would suggest that insulation has broken down and is allowing the current to take an easier path to...

    Carb kits or just needle shims?

    Have you checked that the needles have the grooves to allow shimming? Those on my '99 don't.

    Bad pickup coil?

    Perhaps Service Manual would help? ;)

    V-Max Speed Wobble (ran it up to 115mph and...)

    A few thoughts: What percentage of bikes in original condition exhibit this? How may accidents from minor spills to fatal have there been that can be directly attributed to the issue? How many reports have national governments road safety departments received regarding this and what was the...

    Rear view mirrors?

    Depending on what bars you have (i.e. how wide) IMO all you will see is your hands and body and that is about it. In the past I have has some Rizomas, albeit a different design, and I ended up making some extensions to move them out so I could at lest have some idea what as behind me. Only...
