Re: Charging

Just had a chance to test the location of my rotor to stator situation. I replaced the rotor last year (reasons a little above this post). It was apparent that when putting the outer casing on,.. the cover with the stator would be snatched out of my hands and slam itself shut. I took the rotor off a...

Re: Z1000st IC/cdi igniter

They do list a repair or replacement option for some of the IC Ignitors for Z1000 A and MKII etc. https://www.carmoelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=493_4686_1830_2163&zenid=j474m77n6hcer4k13gci3u3sm5 https://www.carmoelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=493_...

Re: Twisted but where?

Thats more like it in my opinion. If you hit it, the instaneous force applied is only acting locally and the energy cannot be dissipated or broadly transmitted so something gets bent. A couple of years ago i was asked to do a repair to an Americam classic car chassis in a friends garage with limited...

Re: Twisted but where?

Assuming i have understood youre plan i would say that there is next to zero chance of getting the outcome you need. If youre intending to strike the sacrificial 'slug' sideways i think it will bend the holding bolt first, bend the yolk centre tube / damage its thread and oval the headstock where th...

For completness there is also the self generating CDI version STK 310 which is oddly cheaper for some reason https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/STK-310.html#SID=942 and historically there has been this type of arrangement which you can still occassionally find https://phaseone.co.uk/for-sale/ ...

Re: Charging

If you are currently getting away with no alternator , total loss and swopping batteries between passes i think there is little advantage to fitting one of these except to keep sparks bright and on time which can be an issue with total loss. If you have the standard rotor and stator there are massiv...

Re: ART Pistons

Hi Dave, i have a set of ZX11 (unitrak and Z1100R etc. 18mm wrist pins) pistons here with 114 cast on the side and no oversize stamped into the top.
CMSNL shows 181 for both models. Dont think its a part number, more like a casting number for the blank.

Re: Hello to all - at last!!

INteresting mount for swinging arm wonder where it mounts on other side, would be hell of a wide arm and may have been for fitting rvery wide wheel and tyre for drag racing. Thats what i thought initially but found this which shows how the outriggers might look for the concentric swingarm pivot if ...

Re: Hello to all - at last!!

Welcome aboard zed9, youre five miles up the road from me. That TF frame is something else, he didnt hold back did he? Put me in mind of this which i tripped over recently. Though i am not sure i would like to see what happens with this in reality!!!

Re: Eddie Lawson Resto Mod

Any idea why someone cut the front face off the rear engine / swingarm mount bracket LHS? Seems a bit randon unless there was an outrigger support welded on there for the drive sprocket!
