08 FZ6 Condensed Build thread ~Final Impact~

They are bright but now I am thinking about some dimming the front position lights while running the indicators. I have this impression that the white light somehow overpowers the yellow one. If I could dim the white for the time when the indicators work it would be great.

Done and my first video w/body parts! opcorn:opcorn:

I may have been moving the switch position a bit swiftly but you get the idea. I'll make a final post of a few assembly steps some time....

Now I need some brighter T10's in the pods. Anyone have some known good ones?

Great. Now I need to look at the drawings and do one myself

Fantastic job on this FI! At first I didn't get what D3 was for then realized your set up and the logic in it. Great job on this build and documentation!

I have these in the pods, used as running lights and turn signals.

After much hibernation bike finally got a long run in today.

Holidays finally here so maybe I will get to making these circuits for front indicators. Meanwhile I put a 1kiloohm resistor on rear pos lights - friends riding behind me kept complaining that they are too bright and braking light was not so much stronger. Now everything is better.

Update and big thanks - I made the circuits both for front and rear. Now front positions switch off for the time when indicators turn on. With rear I did it with stop lights. Since position lights are already less bright by powering them through a resistor the brake light goes off anytime the left or right indicator switches on. So the yellow indicator light gets the best visibility

Oh, and did some lightning work on Kappa case This is what happens when I hit the brakes

You light up my life!!!

Good job! :thumbup:
Although a drag racer may mistake that Tree Light!!

[MENTION=23872]Marcin[/MENTION] how did the build and packaging go? Everything worked to plan? Hopefully there was enough info in the thread...

Yes, the info is oerfect. I simply put parts one after another onto the pcb, soldered, connected and it worked one relay was bad - was making the switching sound but didn't switch so I had to replace it, but the rest went smoothly. This is the picture of the rear module - 2 in 1 for rear brake lights control.

I was wondering - if you could somehow modify the circuit so instead of a big relay a small transistor is used? It would make the whole thing more compact and easier to hide somewhere under the fairings.

Do you happen to have a picture of how the S2 fender spacers work for the R6 fork mod? I can't find any surviving instructions and am a bit confused.

*update* Managed to get ahold of dako and he had some old PDF instructions someone had made. I'll get those uploaded with a picture as soon as I get my cuts cleaned up (didn't have a dremel handy, so had to do it with an angle grinder and some files).

Something for later perhaps...

Oh my.... hit by the bug again.
OK - I did some calculations to see if theses values correspond to published values and they are super close.
I found an htm/java based compression ratio calculator I wrote 20 years ago. And ya, English units throughout most of it. lol


YEC OPTIONS:
5SL-11181-70, 0.40mm = 13.03:1
5SL-11181-75, 0.45mm = 12.87:1
5SL-11181-80, 0.50mm = 12.72:1
5SL-11181-85, 0.55mm = 12.55:1
5SL-11181-00, 0.60mm = 12.40:1
0.65mm = 12.27:1

5VX-11181-00-00, 0.70mm = 12.15:1
0.75mm = 11.97:1
0.80mm = 11.84:1

Bore: 65.55mm / 2.58"
Stroke: 44.5mm / 1.75"
Head Volume from 10.33cc to 10.93cc // used 10.6cc
Piston Skit Clearance: 0.001"
Dome/Dish Volume: used 0.49cc - Doesn't seem right though.

I have the code for this if anyone wants it and could convert it to metric if someone has a need. It's from my old V8 build days trying to figure out what head, piston, gasket would yield 10:1 CR.

For kicks and grins converting the C/R Calculator to metric so it can be used on our bikes.

Oh dear, I never saw this. Sorry Marcin.
Yes, it could be done with FETs and ditch the switch. I used the relay for its off cycle too to reduce part count.
Let me know if you're still interested. Somehow I think you moved on....

 

[Marcin]

Hey,
thanks for being interested. Well, my prototype version is doing just fine, I was simply thinking about making it as small as possible. So, if you ever have time, I'll appreciate the help, but don't feel under pressure - it's nothing important.
