Is that a real one Mark? Was that at the Gibson Dyno Day? I was looking at the results sheet this morning.

Very nice. I didn't see that on the dyno sheet! Saw yours and the TDR500, amongst others.

Are you running "R" plugs and leads? That should quieten down the RF interference from the ignition.

I have to turn my bike off when I get home because the garage door won't open with the bike running :lol:

We think its a combination of dyna coils non resistor plugs and caps
they don't make the plugs and caps with resistors !

Mate my build is glacial...I can't bullshit but these 15 hour days have become 7 days a week. Not complaining because I work for myself and the alternative would be catastrophic.

Anyway, your bike and your barge are infinately more interesting to me and I wish you all the best. Progress reports on the barge would be very welcome as always.

Cheers and goodluck.

Not been doing much with the 500 for a while
The trip to Italy motivated me to do a little maintenance/fettling
My battery had died and for some reason took the powervalve control with it
So I hastely borrowed a 2ma pv control from a friends race bike
swapped plugs and fitted a new battery from a 3xv (approx. half the size)
It does appear to have a little more midrange as suggested
As the 500 behaved so well, I bought her a little gift

At £4 a bolt its not cheap, but i'll slowly replace the stainless fittings with titanium
these six are for the sprocket carrier (I do listen Wolfgang :) )
