Went out for a ride with my mate steve on his gasser ec250 down some lanes around bromsgrove/droitwich/worcester. bit arty, but why not?!

Why not indeed matey, excellent looking bike and a great thread to follow

Thanks Jimmy,

Still lots to do. Also look whats just turned up! :-)

Just a small update;

When i ordered my trailtech vapor dash all seemed ok, I then went to add power to it and the cable was no where to be found. i contacted the company who i bought it from and ive just received my new power cable, not only that it came with a spare one too!!. couldnt ask for better service. they were also very very quick to reply to my ebay messages. So big shout out to Moore Speed Racing - also on ebay Ebay - Moore Speed Racing

On a seperate order ive had my dash battery's arrive too. So tonights task is fit power wire/test it works as it should, put a new battery in the dash and also fit my new samco coolant hosing.



in other news.. currently bidding on a nice exhaust for the bike :-) will update if i win tonight

Guessing your ankle's not broken then?

Great thread this, thoroughly enjoying reading up on your progress and great pictures too!

Yup.. must have just badly sprained or something. I'm now walking. Still not 100% but I reckon I could kick my bike over.

Thanks dude. Updates tonight on my new parts install hopefully.

Well i just won this on the bay, Arrives friday! :dirtbike: Its supposedly crazy loud.. so will have to see the difference between my stock cut down leaky can vs this.



In other news, I've also attached my vapor power cable which works! :-). ran out of time to fit the hosing today, so tomorrow is samco hosing day.


Cheers!

small update,

Dropped the coolant and got the old coolant hoses off.


Old + New


New hosing in place with inline water temp sensor for the vapor dash


The ti end can should be here tomorrow, so ill fit tomorrow and hopefully go for a ride at some point over the weekend, see how she sounds.


Cheers
Ross.

She's gonna sound bloody fantastic ross, changing the can was a great move for me too on my TTR, it transformed the bike

Cant wait :-)

Well my exhaust has just turned up. much better condition than i thought it was going to be, also came with all the clamps. checked its TI which im happy to say it is :-)

Getting fitted tonight

Before: (note tank,panels,seat are all not secured)


Comparison:


After: (its quite a bit longer than the cut down stubby can)



Sundays the day ill hear it for the first time.... ear defenders on standby

got bored and gave it a quick clean. revved it yesterday and i must say it barks now.....idle appears quieter. glad its a toy rather than commuter

Where's the vid....We want to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the vid....We want to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i did take one. but you just cant make any actual sound out of the video. probably didnt help me filming in the garage with all doors shut..........

I'll get a video soon, idle, rev, flyby etc.

Videos as promised:

idle and rev

drive by

Nice little wheelie on acceleration on the drive by :-)

This was a cracking read rossa, I've been saving this build thread for some time waiting to read it in full and i have to say you've done a cracking job on it. Well done and good effort buddy

A good job well done, really enjoyed reading this thread.

cheers guys appreciate it! :-)

waiting on my seat cover to come from the states currently. Gone for all black with a gripper cover.

Also looking at crash bungs and an oil catch tank, as me and my friend have been talking about tracking our bikes on a supermoto kart track and you need both to use the track.

I'm going to enjoy the bike for a few months, then look at changing the cams out, fit a better header pipe. Then get her dyno'd. so i know my power figure.

Aye ross " no chance of falling asleep thru first vid,,,the whole 7 secs,, ;

Sounds good tho ..

Hahha sorry about that, the original video was longer but i slipped on mud and would have looked a fool Also i wasnt sure how long my camera records for as the SD card was nearly full. so was in a rush

Went out on saturday to Bromsgrove. bike ran great, However randomly its started missing when kept at constant rev's. So i put some good fuel in, same issue. tried adjusting the carb settings, same issue. Bike revs cleanly and accelerates perfect, so im at a loss.

1. going to check grounding of my coil
2. clean/check carb
3. check spark plug and plug gap (i didnt set the gap when it was installed)
4. check jets/replace as per new can install.
