    it would affect the separate independent connections I made. All i have left is the pickup coil an even that ohms out correctly is that from the ignitor or HT coils?

    no indicators, wasn't even in the position that would tell me he was going to turn (usual alert sign for me). slowed right down near to the curb so i went around, then he accelerated and turned into me to get to his vacant spot opp the road.

    I'm fine thanks folks, the finger is hurting a bit,but the big question is why can't I get sparks on the FZ?

    Did direct connections and not a peep, I recon its the trigger coil.

    Coming down Worsley road on the Gilera and a Citroen pulls over to the left and slows right down, I go round him and at the same time he decides there's a parking space opposite the road and takes me out. Bent the forks, scratched me lovely frame,smashed headlamp etc. luckily I was only doing about 20mph he got away with 2 rubber marks and a busted mirror. I got a broken middle finger when the clutch lever hit the car. At least I got a witness who said it was his fault. me lovely bike

    good news is the ignitor still works. and I got another set of plugs which look a lot better.... still no spark. next step tomorrow will be to separate the connections and see what transpires

    didn't realise the ybr needed 2 sets, never seen them in pairs before always a single relay
  19. raise the caliper up above the M/C if you can and put something in between the pistons to stop them popping out. some peeps can get a syringe and pump in fluid from the bleed nipple, once you get fluid in the system it becomes easier. I have got a clear tube and sucked the end whilst pumping, that sometimes does the trick. (don't drink it though) another trick is the tape the lever to the bars over night and the air will travel to the M?C but only if you have fluid in the system.
  20. looks like you got the good weather this weekend and early next week.
  21. I don't think it mattered she pissed in the tent, do you see all that mud? I recon it was abandoned (if they had any sense)
  22. drewpy replied to drewpy's post in a topic in Projects
    nah, doing my head in. I'm gonna take the ignitor back to the guy in warrington and see if it still works. If it does, i'll buy new coils and a trigger coil, not a lot else I can do
