My new baby Ready to Race... nearly

Well here she is. Schnauzer's SDR that I picked up on Monday. So far I've put my full system, motobox, revalved forks and LSL flat bars on. Still need to put on slipper clutch, rear sets and black master cylinders for clutch and brake. Also belly pan. Very happy so far and about to ride her for the very first time. My arse is a little concerned being used to comfy 06 seat.

....and lock wiring?

Looking good! Great recovery.
I think you'll find the SDR seat better for track use - Fuel's sdr seat felt loads better than the 'standard' bike for track use.

.......and tank foam?

Looking good there bud!


....as No47 says ... Tank Foam!.... Don't want it cutting out on the brakes!

looking good .........

Go on... i'm truely intrigued here....

Stops the fuel sloshing around, sometimes on the SD when you brake heavily with lowish fuel, the fuel surges forward and starves the pump.....and stalls.

No it does not degrade and mess up your filter, I believe you cut it up into smaller chunks and push it down, never fitted myself.

Think it was prevalent on the 05-06 tank.

Nice bike CK, swapsies at crashfest?

I put the solo seat on mine over the winter. I like it for the ease of moving around on the bike, side to side, plus front to back. I put a lot of weight on the pegs when the road gets " right ". Try it, you will like it. It's made for the track, not to carry around your GF.

Exhaust sliders Save those cans

Congrats ------ i'm smitten !! always loved the looks of the R .... Looks like you've still got the secondary flies in it !

re-valved front end !!!! how much difference did that make i'd like to ask ...

cheers and good luck with the new wheels

Looking good already mate . You wont even notice the seat on track,it's only on long rideouts that sometimes the seat can get a tad uncomfy.

So, Craig mate, how long before you get Schnausers bike into that slightly worn in/ tatty state the old bike was in? Ha ha. This is weird for me- used to seeing this bike with an i phone fitted onto the handlebars and a slightly chilled out Shnauser and me chasing you and Shade down Essex mad roads. But now i have to swap that image for you sitting on this same bike with your headphones plugged in, in the zone, head banging to the music you play when you ride, thrashing the fook out of the poor fooker at every opportunity.

If this bike were a woman. Would she be getting a better time with this partner swap?

Looks great! I would definitely pull the flies, all dyno tests show it's better without them as far as I know on the SD, I know it's different on most other bikes and that's the reason most tuners want them left in.
SDR seat is a bit more narrow and higher as far as I know so the difference in feel sounds normal.
I bet you didn't suspect yourself owning a SDR just 2 weeks ago

Have fun with your new toy!

So you went for the slower black model then....


Well done mate. Good stuff.

My SDR is doing great,Thanx to forum and maddog who found it for me.

What made you change mate?

I've been away in Cuba, no tinternet - I'm just catching up!

Honestly I think this bike is jinxed! I'm off to sort out Schnauzer this evening my mum always told me "never trust a Gooner!" Seems the KTM alarm is now playing up. Millar and I were heading out to abuse some twisties. Bike went through clock diagnostics then dead, tank wasn't priming. We fooked about with alarm and it seems it may have got wet when I washed the bike yesterday after some shaking, swearing and threatening the bike lived again and we headed off. All good till about 30 miles away and it died, look down and clocks are going through cycles again. Pull over, whip off tail, push and squeeze the alarm. We hear some crackling in there, def doesn't sound good. After 5 mins she lives again. We make it another 10 miles and it does it again. This time when we get life again it behaves like battery is dead. Give up, call the AA and sit in pub waiting for the track to come. 2 hours later I'm home. About to take the alarm apart and put a tea bag full of rice in it to try and dry it out. Next thing on the list is to try and find a blanking plate for it. Can't have this happening at the track or worse in a race!

That sucks dude.

Well I just took out the 3 screws on the back and prised the back off. That's the non water tight water right seal fooked tied it up in a bag of rice to hope it sucks any water out. Tbh as much as an alarm is needed in London, I'm not in central london that much now. Getting a blanking plate is top of the list of requirements now.

Welcome to the world of SDR - just removed my alarm and may have a spare blanking plug- will check when I get back tonight.

Yeah it's been an eventful 13 days of ownership if you have a spare that would be amazing. I'll be on to KtM on Tuesday for one.

The number board has gone off to printers. Should have the vector file for it soon and I'll post it back. Thanks again m8.

You got it up and running again quick, what did it need it the end? just bars and rearsets and a lever?

Bars, rearset (on order, replaced with OEM) crash bungs, lever, can needs repair (not done yet) brake lines, bar end, grips.

I'll see how it runs regards rear cylinder leak. Didn't show any today but I didn't really spank it. Def going with obver torque the head down before going through base gaskets again.

if I wash my bike I have to take bgc apart dry them aply spome more dialectric grease, then it behaves, if not it takes the strunts

its like when a child stamps his/her feet and does'nt want to play or turn thottle nothing nothing bang nearly over a hedge, gonna see if I can get some new bgc connectors and get an auto spark to fit, if such things can be bought

The Strunts are a band; a low key side project made up of members of the strokes and metal legends Harmonic discord.

There's a few live recordings knocking about and a really rare 8 track demo entitled " Badger fisting in D minor"

Stupid bike ruining our ride!

Pretty dangerous thing to happen really, the alarm able to totally kill the bike when on the move. Imagine if that had been speeding down a busy motorway.
Or in a race, it might even cause an unexpected high side, and then the rider would be blamed for no reason

Massive thanks to No42 and Paul R for sorting me out with the blanking plate for the Meta alarm that's playing up. Much appreciated guys

I had a look for that .50 cam Craig, can't find it any where sorry. If you get in touch with this guy, he's much cheaper than buying from g2 i the states for the cams.

Yep, just plugs in - Paul R. has worked out how to 'blank off' alarm without the plug, though.

Got the additional graphics today. Applied them this evening and she's nearly finished! pretty happy with how she's turning out. I did all the design myself and just got them printed up.

Do you have a PDF of the templates mate?

Very nice dude.

Look'n pretty sharp dude.

As one of the other forum members said " Looks like you B havin fun since no chicken on the front tyre "...

awesome

that does look good bud, well done

Looking good, just need Stalker to give it a shakedown on track for you, just to make sure it all works ok!

Awww pretty!
