Scottyd's mod thread

[ballmead]

Yep it's worth the effort Tony, I'm glad I changed it. The other thing is that I think it has only been kinked since the last service last month, as the tank has not been lifted before then.

Too true Billy, the Yamaha dealer was probably the ones that kinked the line, but how do you prove that??? and the bikes warranty ran out last month. Imagine the frustration on the dyno when it doesn't make the power it should and not knowing about the fuel line. I doubt I would think of the fuel line being kinked on the day.

Yes Eric the cat is still in the stock header and I have not thought of getting any new stacks at all. I might look at arrow headers at a later date though. I still have to install the GIpro into the instrument cluster

Hi Nolz, yep sorry I'm here I've been busy unpacking the house here and modding the bike.
The bike is booked in for the dyno tune sat 10:30 at Doin' Bikes Chipping Norton. Ballmead is coming along too.

I'll see you there at 10:30 am Scotty.

It will be nice to finally meet you and see some of your handy work.

With all this kinked fuel line talk, I will replace mine and give it a power run on the dyno too.

It's bound to be kinked, the amount of times I've had the tank up.

Cool, can't wait! I just have to knock up a small aluminium bracket for the PC5 to be zip tied to.

Thanks Scotty I love build threads and the bike is looking great. Damn it Scotty didn't you see the electrical tape tip I put up for the reservoir clamps?

Hey Johnny, I've decided to ditch the ugly looking hose clamps and I'm going to buy some large black zip ties to hold it on.

I just used Velcro to hold it in place in the tray under the passenger seat.
It hasn't moved yet.

Fuel Hose

Hey Scotty, what ID and app length do I need? Also found Gates does a new hose safe not just resistant to ethanol etc (I might be paranoid but some fuel stations are sus but if you're on E!)

My next job is to try building an Exup eliminator and get rid of that exup servo.

 

[ballmead]

I bought a 50 cm piece of 5/16 fuel injector hose from Super Cheap auto for $11 this Arvo.

It's not staying there, it's only temporary. I just need to make a bracket for it.
There's no room under the passenger seat.

Yep Gates Barricade is the latest EFI hose.
PS I've used Gates products before and had no problems ie Snow Mo Drive belts (they cop a hammering).

Not sure yet but I'm going to the local Car Parts shop to inquire. Gates products are pretty common.

I'll see what forces will try to keep me from riding on Saturday and will try to make it down too. Hopefully keep you company for the ride back home. ie if I can keep up with the freshly tuned beast = )

Zip ties look cool! I'm thinking od heat shrink tubing now.

One more mod? Lose the darn stickers!!!

 

[johnnyontherocks]

I think its ok to leave the stickers. Except Amevl always tries to peel mine off. I think it makes it look stock. I like sleeper mode.
