    A late update, I did this in December 22.

    Well bugger me....

    after 3 years it dawned on me that I had not dynamic checked the ignition timing (only static 71/2 teeth BTDC if I remember correctly), been COP and my timing light is inductive for conventional ignition leads.

    So I thought how about.​





    And an adjustment from the centre punch dots been inline to this position ( an advance in ignition) resulted in a growlier much snappier acceleration, better late than never.

    Did adjust timing in diagnostic mode ?? did see a big difference when it was cold... below 50 deg it was showing more advance, cold start mode.​

      I changed my clutch lever to a 2016 GSX-S1000 type for the easier adjuster, I get alot of cable stretch when in traffic.
      I took the switch off.

        After limping home with another fraying clutch cable, I remembered that I still had 6 heavy springs in the clutch from when the frictions were worn (I have since replaced the frictions).
        Now not wanting to open the clutch cover cause I am lazy and it is not leaking.
        I decided to make a longer lever and offset mount.
        You can buy them but Iam a tight arse.

        Fraying clutch cable​




        longer lever about 20mm.



        added brace cause I was worried the side load might snap the original cast gearbox mount,



        side view threads are 8x1.25.



        cable holder is some nuts welded and a slot cut.



        All working fine since October 22, less handle travel so the new cable adjuster on the handlebar cops a work out.
