Re: 954 triple swap bearing/locknut query
Hi carbonxr, sorry for the late reply. With the All Balls kit, the 2 large washers are slightly different thicknesses. I ended up installing only the thicker one. I also had the stem pressed out of the lower triple, had I think 3.5 - 4mm machined off the step so the stem sat a bit higher, allowing t...

Re: Radial clutch MC. Cylinder size
Hi have ZX14 radial clutch (3/4") & brake (11/16") masters with SP2 calipers and HEL lines. The braking is a million times better. I used bendy brackets from Kurveygirl to move the pots inboard as they did foul the fairing, and the masters fouled the dash cluster at full lock. I instal...

954 triple swap bearing/locknut query
I have posted on the SH forum, but thought someone here may also be able to assist. I am FINALLY doing my fork swap (954 triple, SP1 forks fondled by Sir Ditchfield). On SH, CruxGNZ observed (after his install) the All Balls kit comes with extra washers in the lower bearing kit. The washers are inst...

Replacement carb slide diaphragm membrane - ebay
Hey everyone, been searching for replacement carb slides due to a set I have with a diaphragm failure. Paying around AU$250 each doesn't really tickle my balls, and I found these replacement membranes on ebay from seller 'scooterspitanquad' located in Wales; https://www.ebay.com/itm/265131213066?has...

Innovate Motorsports LM-2 O2 meter rpm input
Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has experience with the Innovate Motorsports LM-2 O2 sensor unit? I have got the O2 sensors installed (front and rear pipes), and the analog cable to log rpms. I am unable to get the rpm correct on the meter. Does anyone have this unit, and how did you wire the anal...

Shock linkage hole dimensions
Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone would happen to have on record the hole dimensions (spacing) for the standard shock linkage? I have measured it on the bike trying to see through the exhaust pipe, I got; shock to dogbone - 63mm dogbone to swingarm - 52 or 53mm swingarm to shock - 53mm Can anyo...

Re: Brembo RCS
I've got ZX14 radial brake and clutch masters (coz I get a bit OCD and they have to match ), I used the ladybird style res mounts from kurveygirl. They are long enough (actually too long), and you can bend and twist to get the desired shape.

Re: VTR Down Under
So I dragged out my spare slides which I had blocked up 1 hole, and wanted to drill a second hole 3/4 size. Which I did using the Dynojet drill guide. Upon closer inspection; https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50301086612_80947f4a34_b.jpg Yeah so now I need to source another set of slides. Anyhoo, ...

Re: VTR Down Under
My prediction: 50 pilots will still be too big. So I went from a 168/170 main to a 170/172, but left the pilots at 50. Screws set at 1.5 turns and 1.75 turns f/r. Bike started quite nicely, warmed up etc. As soon as I wound the screw in half a turn, the revs increased a LOT, like 500 rpm at least. ...

Re: VTR Down Under
One thing I did omit in my previous post, when blipping thew throttle, there is a delay/resistance to rev. It doesn't pick up the revs quickly, there is a hesitation there, which I thought was a sign of being too rich. But it did it with the 48 pilots in as well. With the excessive hangup, it has me...

Re: VTR Down Under
So I have a Flo Commander on the way, and I have received some smaller main jets. Installed 168 front, 170 rear, 50 pilots, screws 1.5 front and 1.75 rear. Still getting massive hangup when blipping it to 5k, like 5-10 second hangup. Haven't wound the screws out as I ran out of time, balance is all ...

Re: VTR Down Under
So if I go down to a 168 front and 170 rear for example, how much will that affect the pilot circuit? The 48s with 3 1/4 turns out hangs up, but with the 50s I could close the screw and not affect the idle. Would the smaller main essentially reduce the flow of the pilot? I do realise with these carb...

Re: VTR Down Under
A bit of a callout to Mik_str if possible. I have been mucking around with the jetting after installing the fuel pump and not sure how far to go. First, when I bought the velocity stacks from HPower, Bill suggested going down 2 on the mains, which took me to FP 172 front & 175 rear. I have remov...

Re: Brake caliper corrosion - advice wanted
a really small brass wire wheel on a dremel type device is better, the brass wire wheel is softer than normal steel wool and wont damage your calipers :thumbup: Hey Fabio, thats exactly what I ended up doing!

Re: Brake caliper corrosion - advice wanted
Thanks Wicky, I wasn't aware of the use of red rubber grease for brake system reassembly - that will help a lot. I sourced new OEM calipers from Partzilla and CMS, at a large cost but considering the state of the originals, I felt I had no choice. 2 things I will never scrimp on is tyres and brakes,...
