    A somewhat unconvincing new sausage roll recipe and a small French stick.



    New tyres, had 3 dents in the front front rim removed and put a smaller 42 tooth rear sprocket on for 2.33:1 ratio.





    Also put a (cheap) Power Commander FC in to have a go.



    Cheers Andrew.

      Very happy with the daylight version.


      Still MUTE.


      Will have more to show but this short one shows just how hard the suspension works on average roads.

      And this is where I mounted the Gopro.

        Everything looks great, but I must warn you: In an earlier photo, I noticed what appeared to be a steel trellis growing on the back of your Kat. It seems to have metastasized greatly, but fear not. These tumors are easily excised.

        Ride in health.
        1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

          It appears my Kat is on a body building phase and all I seem to do is continually bolt stuff to it... for process improvement naturally.

              Excuse the music I had the radio on.
              I have more videos but it takes ages to load and I'm off to work so will upload later.
              Literally first run, still fine tuning and finishing off.

              Happy first anniversary KatEFI, 12 months of daily riding.



              Nearly done !!
              Nearly forgot happy anniversary KatEFI, 2 years commuting.

                It should be still noted I haven't got my injectors cleaned or remapped the ECU...lazy/$$$.
                So I will continue trying to trick the ECU.
                OK this time lets substitute the engine coolant temperature values. Reason been when it is cold running it has an o2 value of about 12.5, a bit better than the usual high 11s/low12s when warm.


                below is a spec from the manual, approx 2.45kohm @ 20deg.


                It is supplied 5v DC from the ECU it is a NTC (negative temperature coefficient) sensor the resistance gets lower when the sensor gets hotter.
                From the temp gauge on the bike I saw 24deg and 2.2kohm, on par. Also 250ohm at 85deg.


                So for this experiment I wanted to put in my own resistance value. I don't have a handy varible resistor wheel so I scratched the garage and found the old fascia of a washing machine with some resistors of about 465ohm, great.



                And made a daisy chain of about 1.8kohm.


                stuck in the loom,


                Initially it ran leaner then not so yeah/no.

                  Worn gear lever pivot.
                  Thought I would use the donor Bandit setup as it was less worn.

                  Had a spare lever to measure against.
