I don't think a healthy battery will deplete at idle, your not at idle for long enough normally, but worth checking all the connections from the genny up, its an old bike/harness so won't be perfect, also check you have good earths. the charging is a bit on the low side.

they look like the same tops you get on the Z1000J ?

like the battery holder, very smart

interesting read, thanks for that

just knocked this up, bit crude but its just for testing, it will go on the way it sits in the pic (upside down) as the cable will be bent up otherwise. cost me nothing so nothing lost if it doesn't work. not gona get chance to fit and test it for a while though

I'll see how I get on with a longer cover arm first, but thanks for the info

28mm

thanks ET, will extend the ally one I found ive done an internet search trying to find some info on the servo setup on the kat's but can't find anything !!!! its as if they have tried to keep it a secret not looking to get hold of one as the chances are pretty slim but just interested in how it works really. what year was your Kat ?

cheers John, ive heard about the servo clutch, it would be great to have one of them fitted but i bet they are pretty dam hard to find !!!!

thanks bud I found an old ally arm in a box of bits today that i can modify

I was wondering that !!! couldn't tell if it was longer or not

on the longer arm do you remember the hole centres ?

nice one, thanks Clive

did you loose much clutch arm travel with the longer arm Clive ?

yeah i already found them but thanks anyway ET

whats the longer arm off ? ive been looking for one for a while now.

will they swap ? I didn't think they would but Im probably wrong

its a shame their isn't a fix for the heavy clutch its the only thing that spoils the riding, my hands/fingers will not get any better over time only worse so I don't have many options !!!! only sell the bike or change the engine

If you go back and read my first post where I said I bought a CHEAP Chinese one says its not gona last so the clue was the CHEAP bit !!!! I bought it as an experiment to see if they work or not, if it didn't its no big money loss. as to the cable and lever i can sort them easy its the clutch drag thats the problem. as to an apology isn't gona happen as of the constant picking at me and what I post !!!! we can't all be perfect but I thought the emoji would of made light of my quote

this is inside

the idea behind it is good but it does have its drawbacks, the quality is low so i can't see it lasting for long !!!! yeah the short cable can be replaced and the weak lever inside looks like it could break at any time, but a new lever could be made out of a stronger material. the other thing ive noticed is it has a slightly shorter pull on the clutch cover lever and im getting clutch drag !!! I will be removing it for now and think on it.

I spent a lot of time on bray hill (just down from the start/finish straight) you are just 3 feet from bikes going past at 180mph amazing. and theirs lots going on around the pits as well. but the course is pretty dam big so plenty of places to be, parliament square is a good spot too in Ramsey. one thing though you will need plenty of cash as its not cheap !!!!!!!

I can't help with where to stay sorry, im lucky I have family who live their, but one thing I do know is you will love it

them jets are all over the place !!!!! generally the larger 2 jets are in carb 2 & 3 so they run slightly cooler. what does the manual say the jets should be ?
