Hi,
My name is George, people call me George.
1st time poster and hoping you in internet forum land can help.
I'm based in Melbourne and seeking advise and a place I can buy spares and upgrades.
Me: Riding since I was a kid, road and dirt, last road bike was a 2010 GSXR1000. Handy with the tools and experienced in most aspects of mechanical and metal fabrication.
I have a 2012 model with 4500km so just run in!
I'm in the process of giving it a 'little extra zing' without going extreme. I only ride in 60km/h zones so not too fussed about top speed. I'd be happy at 70 km/h if the speedo was accurate!
Current mods:
- Chinese expansion chamber, modified to suit scoot.
- Pod Filter
I'm needing to source the following:
- Jetting to suit the increased air/exhaust. Pilot and needle seems OK, current is 60 main, thinking 70 - 80 may be needed. Will play around and do a plug chop to get it right, but don't want to test ride without going up. Who stocks these jets?
- Headlight upgrade - Without pulling it apart, what globe do these run? Will go LED, just need to know the globe type.
- Rear rack for top box - where do I get one? This is a must have as I'm modifying the bike to use as a kite board beach bike.
- Air intake tube - If I decide to go back to the airbox, when removing from the carb the rubber 'connector' from the carb to the airbox is brittle and broke. Where do I get one?
- Possible CDI - Is it worth it?
I'm struggling finding a TGB dealer in Melbourne that will respond. What's the go or is there someone/ somewhere else I should be going?
My scoot is unique being an ex WA bike now in Vic and the previous owner hand painted the scoot cammo!
Pics to come. But any advise that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
