Ignition update
Well guys...
I got the SS on the road, even though it's a little tatty round the edges. If i'd waited until it was perfect it would never see the light of day!
Guess what? the ignition's playing up
It's OK until the motor's really loaded, then one cylinder starts dying. I've got spare transducers to play with, but I've already got the message!
I couldn't get a reply from the manufacturer (Uwe Witt), but I tracked down the German agent , OCTeam...Really helpful, but they only do the electronics: Fine for a Bosch ignition, not so good for mine.
No-one seems to do them in the UK, so I've taken Denis's advice and have been in touch with Wolfgang; it looks like he can help me out.
Seems a long way around for a European, but if that's how it is...!
I noticed that ORSP in Italy advertise the stator and rotor to use with Kokusan pickups, and pattern pickups and igniters are available from Electrex World.
This means I could fit a Bosch replica ignition, but ORSP don't seem to want to quote for the parts, and having heard the feedback from here and elsewhere, I'm more than happy to get one from Wolfgang. Hopefully it'll be on it's way before too long.
Anyway, here's a recent pic:
Yep! I loused up the fairing!:jerkoff:
I reckon that once the ignition's fixed and the front pads are changed for something more sporty (any recommendations?) I'll be happy to let the 851 go - this bike matches my limits much better
Cheers,
Andy
