I went out on it this morning and was not so happy with the acceleration. Had I been imagining how good it was? Deflated, I looked down at the rev counter....needle was dead on it's stop, indicators didn't work, temp gauge not registering anything, stopped, no neutral light, revved it while staring at the power valves- no movement there, which was kind of a relief- at least that explained why it wasn't wheelying in first anymore.
I took out all the fuses and checked them. None blown ,which was disappointing, but when I turned on the ignition back on...everything was back to normal.
Must be the fuse box. Will spray it with electronic cleaner, get a nail file in there, blast with cleaner and air and then maybe add a tiny bit of some di-electric grease to them later.
Didn't test ride it after the electrics rebooted....roads were a but iffy from the rain last night anyway.
In other thoughts on how to determine jetting: MuttNutts had this to say..."Modern fuels can take an age to colour up a spark plug due to the various detergents etc in it these days, so plug chops aren’t really a good idea as you could blow your bike up long before you get a colour indication of what is going on, also some fuels (like Shell VPower across here), doesn’t even give a colour most of the time
Luckily I have access to 97 Octane Non-Ethanol (Edit oops I had previously lied- it's only 90 Octane!-pic below) -so I'm hoping that helps my read of the plugs to be more accurate than if I was using standard pump fuel.
Got a new screen from Tyga and inspired by Nick's (Rothmans_SPud) VERY accurate Gardner tribute, (Nick also helped me get all the correct sponsor stickers), I will make one side of the screen American (Freddie Spencer) and the other side Aussie....(Mick Doohan)...with the appropriate flags next to the NSR logo, not as accurate as Nick's tribute but the effort is there
