December 5, 201311 yr Moderator at a guess I'd say its restricted by shorting those wires together, try unplugging one of the spades and taking it out for a run
December 6, 201311 yr Author http://imageshack.us/mobile/gallery.php Heres a better picture sorry its a link cant work out how to do it
December 6, 201311 yr Author Have tried with a different account if u click the link u should be able too see it now
December 6, 201311 yr Moderator nope, cant see it at work, cant see it at home! learn how to post pics...open a photobucket account
December 6, 201311 yr Moderator There is a clear picture of the removed reed in my pinned topic about de-restricting that bike, see post #45, it seems that yours has been chopped out and replaced with a blade fuse? Like I said, disconnect the fuse and give it a try
December 6, 201311 yr Author ok will try that.after a bit of googling seems the reed switch is a magnetic switch.found this on a site A Reed Switch consists of two ferromagnetic blades (generally composed of iron and nickel) hermetically sealed in a glass tube. The blades overlap internally in the glass capsule with a gap between them, and make contact with each other when in the presence of a suitable magnetic field. The contact area on both blades is plated or sputtered with a very hard metal, usually Rhodium or Ruthenium. These very hard metals give rise to the potential of very long life times if the contacts are not switched with heavy loads. The gas in the capsule usually consists of Nitrogen or some equivalent inert gas. Some Reed Switches, to increase their ability to switch and standoff high voltages, have an internal vacuum. The reed blades act as magnetic flux conductors when exposed to an external magnetic field from either a permanent magnet or an electromagnetic coil. Poles of opposite polarity are created and the contacts close when the magnetic force exceeds the spring force of the reed blades. As the external magnetic field is reduced so that the force between the reeds is less than the restoring force of the reed blades, the contacts open. reading that it seems the circuit needs to be closed(fuse in) for it to not retard the ignition.am i reading it right.also do u know where the red?blue wire goes as mine doesnt seem connected further down the loom.sorry for all the questions but everytime i touch automotive electrics things seem to go wrong lol

For the last time...try disconnecting it!!!
December 9, 201311 yr Author Checked the wiring out last night and the blue and red wire that goes from the clocks is connected tried pulling the fuse but made no difference

December 9, 201311 yr Author I also checked the powervalve was in the right position today.after turning ignition on the powervalve is sitting about half a cm away from keyway could this cause same symptoms
December 9, 201311 yr Moderator I also checked the powervalve was in the right position today.after turning ignition on the powervalve is sitting about half a cm away from keyway could this cause same symptoms when you turn on the ignition key the pv goes through a cleaning cycle (sounds like zzzt zzzt) then comes to rest, the 'U' slot in the pulley should now be directly in alignment with the blind 4mm hole in the cyl head, use the two cable adjusters to achieve this and take care to leave enough slack in the cable so as to not stress the servo
December 9, 201311 yr Author Will try that tomorrow its not out by alot but I presume its got quite fine tolerances.hopefully I will see an improvement
December 10, 201311 yr Author All adjusted will take it for a spin tomoro and see if its made a difference. Is it usual for the left cable adjuster to be set alot further out than the right one.as thats the only way I could get the hole to line up
