Another update, ive bought a TSR half system off a forum member as the other system i had fitted did not improve the power of the bike and also purchased a generator kit from Rick Oliver. Cant wait for it to be delivered so i can get cracking and fit everything.
Also had an uprated shock delivered which was swiftley sent to Reactive suspension to be refreshed ready for the 2011 season.
Thanks James

The generator kit is really really nice and cant wait to fit it but i have a problem, i cant get the original flywheel off :(
Has anyone else struggled to remove theirs? Can anyone give me any pointers please.
Ive undone the securing bolt easy enough but its so tight on the crank that ive already snapped a puller trying :oops:

Are you trying to screw it off with the puller? If you try nipping it up, then giving it a whack with a rubber/hide/copper mallet, that should be enough to get it started :up:

Thankyou for the reply.
Ive nipped up the puller outer then wound in the center to the point where its seriously tight and no tapping with a mallot etc is shifting it. Doing the walking away and giving it 5 minutes technique at the mo :P

I think that it's just being awkward as it'll most likely never have been off in the last 20 years, my CG was a total pest to do, it took making a wooden cover for the centre bolt and smacking it with a sledge hammer in the end to get it to pop off :roll:

Went to the dyno on thursday and the bike is pushing 63bhp which i dont think is too bad to say all it has is a half system and a lighter generator.
Also bought some SP1 calipers and brackets (thanks Geoff) to uprate the brakes.
Fingers crossed i will posts up some finished pics shortly and also im at Cadwell on Saturday to see if all this work has paid off.
