dunefreak Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Nice! Is the frame painted or powder? Looks good. Quote
SKINNER Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 its powder, its called steel grey iridescent, pretty cool lookin. got some brakes mounted today, now on to the battery and electrics sometime tonight. Quote
CampIdiot Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Justin we need to talk about you disc brake setup I need to get one of those Quote
SKINNER Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 for sure brian, i will show you at the regatta the parts are pretty easy to find and its a relatively easy job Quote
SKINNER Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 mounted and wired in the battery, and starter solenoid tonight. Set the motor in the frame, hit the solenoid and it rolls, so i am chippin away at it. tomorrow, cdi, regulator, and coil, and then start in on the exhaust. Wednesday the goodies from DRATV arrive and its time to fire this thing up! Quote
Jakster884 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Looking good Justin. I am hopeing to have my package from the DR by Friday. I mentioned to them you said it will ship overnight at no extra cost. LOL Quote
SKINNER Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 thanks guys! Jack, steppin up huh? right on! pete put up a wiring diagram for the lifan, makes it nice and easy to install. get ahold of me if you need any help buddy! Quote
Bustin-bs Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I have to ask with this wire diagram the neutral indicator and other wires associated with it are not hooked up to the CDI? Quote
dunefreak Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I have to ask with this wire diagram the neutral indicator and other wires associated with it are not hooked up to the CDI? No, they dont hook to anything. Quote
SKINNER Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 yup, what pete said lol......however the plug from the indicator wires fits and has the wires in the right positions, so i cut it off the indicator harness and i am going to use it as a "pigtail" to wire in the cdi to the motor wires. I DONT KNOW IF IT WORKS YET THOUGH, SINCE I HAVENT ACTUALLY STARTED THE MOTOR! LOL so its not a guaranteed idea yet! I will let you know soon though. I just got finished mounting the coil behind the motor where the battery and start solenoid are, and now i am about to mount up the reg. and the cdi to the backbone under the tank. then its time to start soldering and heat shrinking the engine wires to the controls. Quote
Bustin-bs Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 we pig tailed ours as well i was just validating those wires that are with the n-indacator don't connect to anything.. Keep us posted on this build... Quote
SKINNER Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) well its alive-ish..lol, sounds like a tractor with a wide open pipe , but it did start!, tomorrow i will actually wire in the hand controls, right now they are just wire nutted together so i could test the rest of the stuff. i was actually surprised at how quikly it fired, it hit right away. the nice *sigh* at the end is me looking at my laptop that fell to the floor while the bike was running, needless to say, i need a 70 break for the evening, time for some tosh.o <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLKA0LPaJ4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLKA0LPaJ4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLKA0LPaJ4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Edited January 19, 2011 by SKINNER Quote
Bustin-bs Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 twist throttle demon... Always a re-leaf when you hear it fire up! Quote
SKINNER Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 haha, your right, once it fires you get a second wind and get excited all over again! came home tonight and decided to make up a "header" for it, now that the exhaust is going under i will build a baffle for it so it stops sounding like a tractor. lol Quote
Jakster884 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Looking good Justin. Can't wait to see it completed. Hell I can't wait to see mine completed and running. Quote
SKINNER Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 thanks jack! hell bring your bike to the regatta in a box if you have to! between everyone there it will be racin in an hour! did you order that motor? Quote
