zx14 small tire build - some questions

[Rat Salad]

1. If you do not run the stock ignition switch make sure that you install a 100ohm resistor in line or it will burn up the ecu.

2. Make sure that you have a reference for the speed sensor or the ecu will set a 10krpm rev limit and you'll be wondering why it won't shift. Our shift point was 10,250 and it wasn't until we put that data logger on it that we figured out why we was having shifting problems.

3. Make sure that when you start culling wires out of the wiring harness that you keep all the connectors and leave some wire on them so you can wire them up if necessary. Keep an extra dash board that you can hook up in the pits and check for error codes.

4. Make sure that you run some kind of air box. Mine is home made and ugly as sin but it works.

5. Do Not run a straight pipe that is the same diameter all the way to the end. The bottom end torque is good but it kills the top end. When I put the side winder mega phone back on it picked up big time on the dyno and the et returned.

If you have questions shoot me an email and I'll try to help if I can. Thankfully there are begining to be a few of us running these as drag bikes and the more that do the more information that will come out and be available. There have been a ton of folks that have help us get going but Chris Jones help has been priceless. His knowledge of the ZX14 platform is huge!

Hey Tim,

A question on the speed sensor. What did you use for a trigger? I'm not sure how to set this up. Again, I'm hoping to use the stock sensor as I know I need it for my sb6.

Thanks.
