Start the bike from cold for about 10 seconds, turn off & check the header pipes up high, one at a time with spit on the end of your finger or a wet rag & find out if any of the pipes is cold or luke warm is a good place to start, to isolate a cylinder with a faulty/shorted plug or cap/ignition...
Just booked some tickets to Melbourne to watch Casey in action live for the first/last time, looks like the island is booked up, probably have to stay in frankston.
Hi, Do you have the right hand switch block? or is the red rocker (kill)switch button still in one piece? (that's the only bit I need) have you sold the speedo?

If you have ever had that rear sub-frame off you will know that its really heavy , it seems way stronger & made of heavier gauge steel than other bikes I have had. It probably has to support the weight of the exhaust. & so is that thermoset plastic grab handle tail section, loose both of those &...
You can also have this problem if the oil is high on the viscosity side or you live in cold temps,the oil gets pumped up high into the gearbox & takes to long to drain back to where the level sensor is leaving the sump momenteraly low, also if your airfilter is dirty or clogged it can cause the...
If you have a look at my album you will see I have had a r6 cluster on mine, & I had do do some awkward electrical work to get everything running, & you have to disable the fuel light with a resistor & the pulse arrangement made to convert batch fire to sequential fire for the tacho is hard to...
