My last post I reported the bike was running and running pretty good.. For about 4~5 mins at a clip that is!! After that it would start missing like it was dropping a cylinder, etc. So I would tear it down, check everything, put it back together, and it would fire up and run perfect... for another 4~5 mins.. I have been doing this for the last six weeks, trouble shooting this, and that trying to figure it out. I even sent the MS back in to have the injector circuits checked.. nope, nada!

So after finally narrowing it down and back tracking a dozen times, I FINALLY found the issue and this was it..

That little slit in the ground wiring was grounding out to the shielding wire while running. What a bitch!!! Of course this was all covered up by the shielding and was invisible. Needless to say the lesson learned here is (as always) its the simple things that take forever to figure out.

I do have some new video of the bike running, but its to damn big to upload. I will get some new stuff taken and uploaded. Now back to tuning.. FINALLY!!!!!

I can almost beat that.....? some of the nice things I found.... :ohmy:

hey mate do you have any pics of where you have "massaged" the tank so the forks clear it?

Didn't have to massage the tank for the forks. If you look back in the beginning of this thread I added a bump stop under the neck which gives me just a little less then 1/4" clearance on both sides. It limited the turning radius a bit, but in reality the only place that will show up will be in a parking lot or something.

BOOSTABLE,

How much longer was that GSXR swing arm than the KZ1000 swing arm?

Just curious.
