  1. Kit site also sells tiny turbos https://www.ecotrons.com/products/
  2. There's a full efi conversion kit for single cyl engines 100cc to 400cc bout 1k Also saw an old thread of a guy using a megasquirt for a bit cheaper. There's a throttle body unit from a Suzuki 125 on TradeMe now for a hundy. Could mash a speeduino on that and be done pretty cheap I worked out how many Kms it would take to pay itself off. Only 10 times around the clock... Same kit but $430 https://www.ebay.com/itm/motorcycle-ATV-scooter-buggy-moped-UAV-EFI-engine-Electronic-Fuel-Injection-kit/273127447029?hash=item3f97aa19f5:g:PHwAAOSwaudbUUTp Only 5 times round the clock for that
  3. I think that's what they do. The frame looks pretty naff and couple with the tank makes the front look even higher. Not a great cafe base. I want maximum clearance and cush riding tho
  4. Genuine made in Japan enkei rims too
  5. "Can't" find decent adventure tyres for a 16" rim Looked at a new spoke rear but kinda expensive with postage. Suzuki parts bin comes through I picked up a front and rear gt200 wheel. Both are 18" as was the style of the day, both kinda narrow, but I think I can run a 3.00 tyre on the rear no issues. Some of those cafe racer GN things are running 4.00s but I don't see anyone commenting on how they ride. They don't go fast enough to be an issue I guess. Should look better with something bigger than the pizza cutter on the rear now. Rim is narrower than I would like, but such is the budget Will probably go with a shinko rear, I don't see any heidenaus in the right size any more. Will see how the gearing goes, I was considering a new sprocket, this should gear it up a bit. Probably ok with just me on it, maybe not ok with it heavy.
  6. I like this (for a GN) https://atelier-medusa.fr/en/suzuki-gn-125-en/ The fuel gauge especially
  7. Oh yeah, that could be a good start
  8. I power washed my GN yesterday. My jacket is pretty well impregnated with dust. Do you think we should box it up and send back? I know how much Tama Iti hates the white man taking his land
  9. Sorted the DR200 header pipe to fit. Flange end needed to be sanded down about 1mm dia. Have to remove tool box from GN. But otherwise it goes on with no issues. Would recommend offsetting the regulator a bit to avoid the heat and perhaps some reflective foil under the battery box. Header pipe ends just under the battery. Not sure what to do about a muffler and how to route it where it's not going to be in the way of panniers/pillions. May have to just make one up to fit in the allocated spot I suspect it will free up some power. The standard pipe appears to be dual layer from the head to the muffler so is smaller than it looks. For noise maybe?
  10. I'm Gona pull the 3.8 and auto out of mine and swap with another later 3.8 and auto Do try it
  11. All 3 of my go pro batteries went flat in 20mins after charging them the night before. 2 were brand new Pretty gutted tbh
  12. Post eastcape thoughts 150cc kit was pretty nice to have. Just leave it in 3rd gear and use it like a twist and go. Top comfortable speed with loaded panniers is about 90kph. Handling on gravel is noticeably wobblier with panniers on the back. Rear tyre is ok. I would quite like a more aggressive/adv tread for gravel. Not desperate but would be an improvement. Leaving Auckland I lost power for a second on the Bombay's and thought I'd cooked it in the same spot it died last time. Carried on and found it was stumbling at over 8k rpm under a good load. Didn't notice this the week previous but I was going easy on it and had no extra weight. Plug looked like it had some brown spots in it (but was the oil contaminated one from the last rings) as a precaution I bunged in a cooler plug and started using 95 octane fuel. The stumble went away except for a small one very rarely at just under wot under load. I tried 91 again leaving opotiki and the stumble came back. Filled with 95 again and it's gone. So I'm thinking the increased compression from the kit is the cause. Cooler plug looks fine but will try again with a fresh standard. Should add that I never gapped the cooler plug so that may explain the infrequent stumble, wideband shows a bump in richness so I'm thinking the spark is the issue. Riding it today with no weight on it it doesn't happen and bangs out to 110 happily. Current jetting is standard main jet (110) and needle lifted from middle to top. This is the same as it was when the rings went, but wideband says rich and 1000km of loaded riding says it's ok. Guessing garbage rings. Mix is ok at idle and wot. Everything else is rich (high 10s to high 11s). Going to need to fiddle with the emulsion tube I think. Have ordered a new standard one from Ali. Will try that to see how different it is from the original and then start drilling. Exhaust header appears to be two layers so it's smaller than it looks. I'm thinking a new one that's actual size will help the top end. Usb in bike is lush for camp site phone charging. Led bar is lush for when headlight bulb shakes itself off. Stuff for next time? I think I could use some even smaller panniers to carry my "sleep system" which weighs like 1kg all up. If staying at similar places I won't need the stove, just need a zip/kettle at campgrounds. Will take a tarp next time, never got around to getting one this year. Bivy is great no moisture inside but would be miserable getting into in a hail storm, plenty of building at campgrounds to shelter under though Possibly don't need to take a puncture kit. If I don't take that then there's no reason to take levers. Tyres are good cond, just don't be unlucky. Don't need a fuel bottle, always had enough to get to the next pump if I couldn't fill at the nearest one for some reason. Wasn't sure on economy with the 150 kit and loaded, but it's only slight more than before. Potentially shift some weight further forward. I think this would improve gravel handling. I sold my tank bag just before I got the bike - because I won't be needing this for a while.... A pace notes holder would be an ideal addition. Anyway. Got home, changed the oil. It's looking perfect. Oiled the squeaky chain, back into commuting duty
  13. Does anyone have a selection of metric nuts and bolts? I've lost the locking nut on my cam chain tensioner. M8 I think
  14. Gave me time to adjust my clutch in the middle of the road though puhuhu. Currently rejeting carb under a Pohutukawa tree
