Mad Farquhar

Now weeded & sorted - in the short term.

Blimey Carl, what are you planning for $2k?

The clever wee iOS app from Norbar says that 120Nm is equivalent of 88.50745791 lbf.ft. I don't doubt it is correct. I tend to torque by blood vessels or pounding in the ears myself.

This was the state of my one! The actual bearing change out was relatively ok - once I learned where to beat the fcuk out of it. The new seal took a bit of burping - make sure you clean the seal face as well as you can as I am now a dab hand at stripping the bevel box down and rebuilding - about 35 mins from bike into lab and down off bench. The rusty bit on the bevel gear "shaft" needs to be cleaned up really really well.

Not really - was in that position almost exactly a year ago. It will come out. Mine came out whole but somewhat distorted :-), but as Lubho said I went for it from the other side. Pulled the bigger bearing out (also Allow you to check / change out seal!) and the coppery washery spacey thingie and then drifted from inside out. Considered dremel but didn't want to groove the bearing housing if I slipped - mind you it may provide an avenue for greasing! By doing it this way you can give the plenum a really good clean up and realise why there was so much rust pissing out of the axle on rainy days.

Tim FWIW: If it doesn't fart and pop too badly with original map then I suggest persevering with what you have, especially as it worked reasonably well before. Its also a useful baseline to work from. If you use someone else's map then you might find you go back a step. If you have closed loop then a couple of hours should sort out any lean or rich parts of the matrix. If not closed loop then enrich up across the map (to be on the safe side) and then work towards leaning out gradually. I found dyno work counter productive but that was because i hadn't a clue what I was doing (still don't really!). Optimiser and decent o2 feedback takes guess work out of it. V11 owners may be able to advise what the afr, in general, is likely to be at various areas. With your mods these may be subtly different. I know I was quite surprised how thirsty my 1100 sporti is - it seems to run best at afrs of circa 12.5 or even lower at some points - but that (as Raz would say) is the dyno-bum method. There seems to be some recent issues with passwords on the forum - not sure if this is part of your problem. I suggest you email CJ to sort out your access. He is pretty prompt at responding generally but maybe is off chasing thermals with all that hot weather over NSW :-) gav

The comment " Does it come with clown shoes?" had me giggling.

Cliff will no doubt pitch in but the myEcu forum is the place to visit to catch up on developments. There is a link on the left hand side of the website IIRC.

Looks a bit precious but I'd shag her. Quite fancy the Stone with spokey wheely things tho'. The cast jobs don't quite do it for me.
