It certainly isn't a mechanical contact, I can yell you that much. The tach doesn't have any way of sending back a signal to the spark box. I'd...
Welcome!! If you need some help with parts just let me know. I ship down under pretty regularly so that's not an issue. I'm not sure about the...
Sorry, I saw it on the other forum first:
Did anyone forget about the Laser/Jama systems? Ah yes..... we actually want to forget about those!
FYI - Mark made the Dave Dodge (DRP) kits for a number of years before he fell off the map and Dave had to find someone else to make them. I...
Are you certain that the rev limiter function gets it's input from the tach? That seems kind of weird. So you are saying that the spark box gets...
The dropped valves only occurs in the 500's, no worries there. You'll want to pull the cam covers and check the condition of the cam lobes and...
Bummer, that looks like a neat bike.

It looks like a VFR800 shock to me. They are pretty unique on the bottom side, that's how I can tell. It's probably an 800 swingarm too. That's...
Thanks for the video, that was a big help. I'd say the VFR link would be the more likely choice. Have you thought about going with a shorter...
I'm not sure how much proof is needed, really. If you think sitting at a stoplight on a hot summer day with no oil flow is ok then I suppose...
I, personally, have seen damage done to a 500 engine from improper lubrication. Others have as well, and I think there were some photos posted up...
Dips in the midrange are a typical characteristic of all V4 engines. You can't get rid of that without sacrificing a lot of top end power....
Rear brake strikes again!!!
I've noticed similar effects when bolstering the ground path. Not sure if it has something to do with the ignition getting better juice or if the...
A runner for $400 is a great steal, I normally buy/sell non-running 700's for around that. Keep us up to date on your progress!
