It's the little bits..

[st3v3]

Finally took a pic since the work. And as for the NSR sign, can't be bothered to change it, plus it's not a bigger difference as someone put.

Not the best of brightest pic but.....
(I know theres a few fairing bolts missing.)

I think you should give it a total stripdown and clean everything with some autosol (autosol company would love you to )...spray the block, get frame powercoated, swinging arm etc.

Oh and you could of masking taped the front tyre up first

Hehe, joking aside. For its age it still seems in reasonable nick (cosmetically anyway )

Nah I sorta like it now, plus its unique. Not only have I never seen another NS in the flesh, never another bike in these colours.

Couple of half decent pics, how does it look from any of your point of views in general as an overview?

Looks alright, still got paint on your front tyre though

In my parts tray. When I came off mid KD, it failed to hold up and my replacement hasn't arrived. Paint on the tryres gives it that extra flayely race look.

Nice work Stev3.

I feel compelled to tell you though that I find your model of bike ugly as sin. Not just 'ugly' ugly but ugly as in I want to put a gun to my head and blow my brains out so I don't need to think about it ever again. I like to think that I don't give a shit about what the bikes I ride look like but I draw the line at that one...

What made you buy it out of courosity?

I guess it could be one of those things that grow on you. I used to think the Suzuki SRAD was ugly until I owned one...

[st3v3]

I bought it under the impression it was an NSR.

Now I've grown to love it and it's not ugly it's kind of like a grand old lady. if you get me.

Unfortunately I never won he Carbs on ebay so now I'm stuck for a bigger carb unless you want some beer tokens EVO?

Also, Keith, what do you mean by move/fiddle the needle position? And finally, is it better to get a small K&N style air filter or drill holes in the standard one?

https://www.fast-cars-uk.com/images/induction_kit_new.jpg

Not doing bad tho, needs a new chain and I still got her to 80MPH today a few times(private land officer), also broke my single seat cowl thing(wheelie-ing)..... so need to bodge that, They're way too expensive to replace for what they are. One of the nipple things that holds the back faring has snapped and I think the other one's on it's way out. I seem to have lost my right chicken strip too... My sparky sliders are seeing the road too.

Hi

Slide in the carb holds the needle. This is located with a small clip in a groove. There are a few grooves to choose from. Move the clip to a groove closer to the sharp end of the needle to richen the mixture in the mid throttle positions.

You use the idle mixture screw to adjust the mixture on idle and just off idle, and the main jet to adjust the mixture on full throttle.

K&N might well work OK, but then you have other problems (such as them being a pain when they get wet).

All the best

Keith

So, richening the mixture in the way you suggest, is there any performance gain?

With the 'open' filter, I gather there may be damp related problems, but as it'll be in the confines of the fairing I doubt it'd be too bad... will it? I think I have a 26 carb, so by putting a 28 on instead, will that be ok?

Thanks.

Don't have the carb anymore st3v3, you said you were sorted so sold it.

And as Kickstart says, K&N types can work well but have to be protected from the elements.

And the leaner a bike runs the faster it is, Though go past a "certain point" (Unsure there) and you will basically ruin your engine. Richer is slower though won't fry your rings ect.. (I may not be totally correct on the consequences but essentially you want your plug to be in the Best condition. Lean you get white spots, Rich leaves oily plug.

Compare to this guide

Whichever you choose filter wise, go for a quick blast on a road then stop and check your plug against the guide. Adjust your carb settings accordingly.

Fair enough EVO

So, to cap off... I need a bigger carb, around ?28?.

I need to either buy a K&N or drill current airbox(might just buy K&N as then I still have standard one as standard) and adjust carb needle for full effect.

F*ck me, new chain and sprocket set fitted last night in under 2 hours, that DID chain was a b1tch to do with only a flat screwdriver and hammers/mole grips.

Oh, and can anyone sell me a rear brake pedal thing before my test in October?

Forgot another thing - My new rear sprocket was soon demolished as the chain wasn't the right size, the links were too small to fit between the teeth properly, so I had to buy a new full set @ £70, 2 hours and a fresh DID chain it's fine again, now my front fairing brace mirror mount has snapped, needs re-welding no doubt due to my over-tightening and dodgy fairing placement Anyone taking bet's on it being ready, functioning and available for this test?

Well, a little while on and my test planned for 4th October is out the window.... still not got a rear brake pedal, need a number plate mount Cos mine's snapping and my seat convertor peg that I bust mid wheelie after losing balance and sitting on it is nowhere to be found on scene. Then.... sat in town during working hours some fvcking m0ngified absolute fvcking tw4tting mvppet(s) ripped my wiring harness out my fairing and it looks like they tried hotwiring it, the wires on bottom of ignition were pulled apart(even tho it doesn't look like it), and all lights etc wires dis-connected. Was most fecking p1ssed off, Reported to police but not much hope finding the responsible partie(s) pics..... of wiring loom at the time, and the sprocket I went through in no time.
