Another couple of hours wiring today, so both coils and both injectors are now wired along with the engine Temp sensor, Fuel Pump, Start Solenoid, Injection Relay and handlebar switch gear.
The Run button controls the Injection relay and pressing the start button brings in the starter solinoid.
Wires are also in for the Neutral and oil pressure LEDs and also the temp gauge and tacho.

Still have to add wires to the ECU connector for MAP/Air temp sensor but apart from that there's not much else to do apart from switched feeds for the direct powered transponder and lap timer and the charging system

Still trying to decide with which Reg/Rec to go with

always a good sign when they start first push of the button, despite the lack of exhaust, engine temp sensor, air temp and pressure sensor :)

Bet the neighbours love you

Doubt if its a problem as nobody could hear the bike above the neighbours stereo or their lad racing around the streets on his Minimoto

Just swapped the Shock, Ohlins with remote reservoir out and Ohlins with piggyback reservoir and adjustable length in

I found raising the rear by a couple of mil made a massive difference to the ss ..

Is the fork angle / height on the monster the same as the ss?

Fork offset on the later Monsters is the same as the SS (unlike the early monsters).
Rake (Fork angle) I haven't checked to see what is standard but set mine using front and rear ride height to get what I want, which is a lot easier to do on a Monster than a SS

How much did you raise the rear by and what did you feel?

as you know, I've got Deans old Maxton shock which is 5mm longer than standard with another 15mm of adjustment, I have tested it on a track day and now have it wound it fully out, this has raised the rear by 28mm at the seat, I have also raised the front by 10mm for more ground clearance.

I find that I now feel much more in touch with the front tyre, I can push more weight onto the front in corners allowing me to keep a higher mid corner speed, beforehand I felt that the front tyre was on the limit of grip and all the weight was sat back on the rear, which pushes you wide mid corner making you throttle off to pull it back in.

that's about where I'm at at the moment.

I'm still not sure why I'm so slow at the moment but I'm hoping that this will have helped.

Its in yer head Matt, simple. Have a good session of balls out and back to the froont you'll be...too much natural corner speed not to be
