mine are separate, for sure. ypvs controller on lh side, cdi on right. truth is, i'll eventually get a zeeltronic combo unit down the road, was the best thing i did for my rz.

Yep. I have an Ignitech on my 31K. It's made such a difference.

it fought me a bit, the reg/rectifier was faulty. however, i got that sorted for now and was finally able to take it on a test ride.

ran well. never rode a dead stock one before, its good.

in the process of getting the body work back on, that was late last night. luckily, zero leaks, fires or explosions. and.. everything seems to be working as it should, despite previous (like 2 owners ago) efforts to hack some shit together for a quick sale.   :whistle:

Very impressive Mark that you've got it on the road that quickly!  :vroom: :cheers: :clap:

thanks Evans. it wasnt -that- bad over all. I'm prob 500 or so in parts, and just a bunch of time. over all, it was pretty decent, really much more so, compared to what i normally deal with. trying to figure out what i wasnt familiar with.. was the trick over all. Mostly peoples old 'repairs'.  we'll see how it holds up

i was a little surprised they weren't orange or blue siliconed TBH. and they came from japan that way when it was shipped over. :busey:

Brilliant job!

They ride great eh?  A beautiful chassis too.

it is fantastic to ride. thats why i wanted one, rode one a few years ago at the 2 stroke meet and that was it, ruined the rz for me. lol.

Got it out last night to the local bike night. did very well, zero issues.

Figured i would probably have the oddest/rarest bike there, but, of course , rick shows up on his unbelievable saxon/laverda about 10 minutes after I did. lol (1 of 5 ever built). we had a good chuckle about it.

That's a nice venue for a bike night!  :olaf: :clap: Hey- I think I see Matt (msr) in the pic across the street from where the bikes are parked on the black jacket/ jeans! :wave:

yes it is Matt. We have 2 of those locations near us, that one is on the river (grapevine faces it). Both host the bike nights.. thats his new moto-guzzi to the right of the vespa.

1st ride to work today.

:whoop:

did very well. not sure if i was starving it for fuel but had it over 8k for over a mile, easy, and started feeling liek it may have been running low. everything is working as it should , petock rebuilt, lines new, etc. might just be me being paranoid. or it hit reserve.  :umm: either way, a success.  :olaf:
