HA, HA, I knew that topic title would attract all you 4 stroke 'blingers'

On Andy's Japan '06 photos -320Y7V4803.JPG- there's a cylindrical lump with associated plumbing??

What is it?

I know that the 4 stroke has been dropped from the Japan schedule because of lack of poke but surely they haven't stuck a NO2 kit on it??!!

It could be one of the following:

A) Remote reservoir for the rear shock (unlikely, given that it's next to the (Hot) cylinder)

Fuel pump

C) oil breather catch tank (unlikely)

D) NITROUS OXIDE

E) An elaborate hoax!!

In picture (4803) it looks like the rear shock reservoir next to the hot cylinder.

In picture(4803a)the production unit had a fuel pump mounted in this location. This component however, looks like a voltage regulator / rectifier to me.

The in-line lamp switch (zip tied to the frame in photo 4803) is a nice touch of home. Looks like it may be running to the radiator fan, but it's hard to tell.

Andy or atom can you step in here and provide a link for S.E.Lucas.

I afraid I can't drive my PC well enough for that

Thanks

Take a look at the length of the left (clutch-side) grip in Pic 4802!!

They allways had them on the factory 2 strokes aswell.

That is definitly a gyro stabeliser unit,with optional antigravity genorator.

six months and we will all have them

Good spot Stu, what the hell is going on there? Has someone been playing with Photoshop?

Anyone else spot the flux capacitor, when that baby hits 88.....

Looking at the high pressure braided pipe used , I would say its for the suspension without doubt.

whatever it is... it worked. Kenichi beat the 2 stroke Scorpas on day one in Japan on it.

With a 5th place finish on Sunday, Kenichi was right there with the big boys! He is obviously not having any problem riding the new 4-stroke at a World Class level.
