I'd love to see someone sketch up a wiring diagram for just the coils.

Beautiful bike.

I was looking at my coworker’s bike today and realized his front tire is almost the same size as the rear tire on a V11 Sport. At 2300cc that triple is bigger than a lot of cars on the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shipping from the UK will cost as much as the item.

Long range forecast was making me nervous. Still looks like rain on Thursday and Friday but not much. Saturday looks great. Has anyone been following Craig Rodsmith's V9 build? It'll be at Barber. This guy is hilarious, although you don't want to have the volume up at work.

Why are you parting it out?

Actually I was wondering how the mechanical part work. What does the TPS connect to inside the TB?

That was an expensive lesson...

I belive coils have different resistance values. Something like 3 ohms, etc. If the wrong coils were used could they burn up?

I had an FZ09 for a while, same basic bike as the FJ. Yes, ugly but a truly amazing engine. I test rode the FZ when it came out. Most disappointing motorcycle in memory, terrible suspension and worst throttle EVER! Frame and engine were great. I suppose I was let down by my expectations but no way would I ever get a gen 1 FZ. Actually all those bikes are too ugly for my taste. Too bad they don't make an FJ with good looks. Still jonesin' for the SS..... I think they fixed the throttle on later models.

So bad ECU or bad ground at ECU causing someone funky at the ECU?

Dave, almost forgot. Here's the disemboweled TPS. Just don't stare at it too long. You won't be able to sleep. The photo is so tiny I had to stare at it for a while. Having only loosened the TPS to adjust it how does it work?

With twice the horses it's not surprising...

I thought the engine was the ground wire for the coil?

They are? Where?

Do take pictures for those of us not brave enough to take one apart!

Are you supposed to take it apart like that to clean it?

Ya'll need to ride a British bike for a while. Then when you get on what you think is a buzzy Guzzi you'll be like, "What vibration/noise?"

I'll share my secret spot that I got from the Ducati guys. http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/alabama/hampton-inn-birmingham-colonnade-280-BHMCOHX/index.html This is an awesome location (there will be a lot of bikers there) as the back roads to the park are quite lovely and there's no traffic. Plus you come into the park from the opposite side as everyone else. In you go. We stayed there two years ago. Last year we had an RV spot and staying at the park is obviously the best option if you can.

Aren't you always in California?

Plane tickets secured! There's an AccessNorton.com meet up at the Motorcycle Classics show on Saturday (not far from the ginormous Triumph tent). These are still not on my ride but there's still two weeks! So no one else is going?

When I joined this forum I didn't know it was full of "hammer whores". I've seen some disturbing things on the internet, very disturbing things (some I weren't even looking for) but this hammer fetish is really creeping me out...

Now the question is... how much are they? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I want to see the pics. I'll email you and then post them here.
