Zx10r race bike build.... the sequel

(1/14) > >>

LeeV:
Yeah I know I had the blade all of 5mins, but it just didn't fit, so I sold it and bought a road bike to convert to track myself,

So here is what I picked up on Friday
Shes just been run in, and in mint condition, a perfect candidate for a race bike.




I spent Saturday taking all the road kit off the bike, boxed it all up so it doesn't get damaged.

then did a list of all the parts i'm gonna need/ want etc.

1st job,
re route the rectifier cables so that they reach the new bracket by the water pump, there are 2 ways of doing this, the easiest option is to lengthen the cable, but rather than cutting cables and soldering them, my self and Allan split the cables out of the main loom and re routed then under the throttle bodies.
this was probably the hardest job to and seemed to take ages to do


Now we have the airbox off, before putting it back on, it made sense to do all the small wiring mods and cable routing etc.
so next step was the pair valve removal as this wont be needed for a race bike
So first of, remove the sensor and hoses from the ram air tube
 
Now that is out, it makes for a perfect place to relocate the fuse box rather than inside the fairing.


Inside the ram air tube is a large valve that works with the pair valve, as this is no longer needed, that came out too to help get more air into the airbox



Next up
Pair valve, again, only there for emissions, and needs to blanked for Dyno work anyway, so ordered some blanking plates and a resistor so we don't get any fault lights, blanked off the vacuum hose to the throttle bodies as this is now redundant



picked some more parts today that also need to be fitted before the airbox can be fitted back on, and waiting for some other bits in the post.




Before i can fit the Bazzaz unit, it makes sense to make some room in the battery tray for it,
So, out with the exhaust servo, and then fit a servo buddy so no nasty warning lights appear

Luwi Kawasaki:
Nice work so far Lee.

Kaos Theory:
Loving this, keep it up!  :hello2:

LeeV:
will do chaps, just waiting for some more parts in the post.

and off to get some new lights for the shed so the pics are clearer

LeeV:
Update chaps

Only at little bit done today, as I'm still waiting on parts,
so cracked on with the wiring for the switch gear

as said earlier in the post, after thinking about it, id didn't see the point in having a bike with proper traction cntrll and deleting the switch, so I bought an STM switch for the traction and power.

then located the wires that connect direct in to the loom, cut the plug off, and then soldered the wires together and re sleeved them, so that it can just be plugged straight in

.

Then, me being as OCD as I am, I didn't like the switch not matching the starter switch, so bought another one for that too. so wired that in exactly the same as the TC/power switch, only this time I have left a short section of the Break light wires in place should they need to be re connected.



now both wired in and sleeved, they can be mounted on the left hand bar , as my thumb throttle fouls the starter switch until I get the new clip ons with longer tubes
