Mounted mine just above the cam chain tensioner. NO NEED to drill the frame!

I used the head steady allen bolt and the cam chain top allen screw.

Upside to this position is that it stays cool!

Cheers

Thanks chaps

big john i will try re s spot if i get trouble i will pm you

Thanks again re 500.

Hi Dixie,

I fitted mine in the same space as the original, but did not use the same mount.

I used the bolt and spacer provided in the kit and mounted it HT end out on the threded earth mounton the left hand side of the frame.

The HT lead runs down the back of the fan and is just long enough (the spark plug cap now face's the other way.

I spent a few hours trying to mount it on the original bracket (this will not work with out the use of magic). It all fits nice and neatly now, with no problem getting the tank to fit.

Hope this helps :D

Ok Gentlemen what's your verdict...

Did you fit the whole kit and caboooodle ..new camshaft, kickstart lever, coil and hot start carb mod?

Easier starting when cold?

Easier starting when hot?

Easier starting when upside down?

Sherc

fitted every thing exept the cam ,that can wait till next time the head is off

seems to make a real difference;

The kick start seems to make the most noticable change as the bike is effortless to kick over.

i have not trialed it yet but i have been out for a long play

it starts even after being turned over (on purpouse of course)

but i am still going to sell mine,the monty suits me better.

I would love to keep it but as the old song went "MY WIFE WONT LET ME"

I have a similar problem to yourself,seven motorbikes and only one wife

I have been promising her a kitchen for ten years she says she has had enough of doing the washing up in the bath

So it has to go,

Guys, what is your honest opinion of the mods? does it start atraight away when dropped and how have they cured the carb overflow into the airbox problem?

Would anyone like to give a genuine report of the bike post mods please ?

Sorry I can't at the moment, as the bike is awaiting collection at a dealers after having the mods done. All I know is it is definately easier to start when its hot, they have been testing it. I'll let you know when I have time to collect it and run the bike.

Big John

Thanks Big John. I await your comments :thumbup:

used mine on sunday

What a bloody diference

honestly if the kit had been a bit quicker coming we all would keep our shercos

the only time it took more then two kicks where initial start (it needs the choke now)

and once when it got up a bank and i did not the bike was iverted for about a minuit

some fuel was in the clear pipe i fitted to the air box last year i drained it and tried to kick it as normal it was really hot and flooded

i tried about six kicks then pulled in the hot start two more kicks and it was away

RESULT

Sounds promising Dixie but I will wait for you to try it for a while just in case ;)
