I have fitting remote reservoir and due to short pipe I found only one way to fit it. But not sure that battery box good place for this. Did anybody else do the same?

Hi Parus,

it looks pretty close to the mudguard, have you made sure it wont touch when the suspension is compressed?

Most of the remote reservoirs ive seen are on the back subframe, is the hose long enough to do that?

Cheers

I though about - that reservoir is too closed. But I checked and look it has enough space. But I have not ride yet.

Stupid question but what's in this remote reservoir? Fuel? How does it connect up?

standard NCs dont have them. when you change the mono shock for aftermarket, they often come with a reservoir that holds extra oil for the shock. you have to find a home for it.
you can also get longer pipes. but find out if a longer pipe will affect performance.
Parus, sit on the bike and see how close it gets.. it was my 1st thought when i saw the pic...

Ive got the bottle for the nitrous under my back seat, it runs down the back of the bike in parallel with the number plate.

With me off the bike, its a good 3 inches away from the back wheel. On the first ride after fitting it, it developed a bit of a scuff mark on the bottom of the bottle where it was hitting that back wheel when the suspension was moving. Its at more of an angle now so it doesnt hit.

Its quite intersting how much the suspension moves!

Mind you, you could set the shock to be rock hard so it didnt move. :idea:

how much more do you get when you hit the button on the nitrous?

ive got it on a full throttle switch and so far im still experimenting. - its nearly working with 25bhp jets but still not right. The times its worked ok, its like a big wodge of power all at once. at about 7k in 3rd, it felt a bit like the blade does. It pulled loads and really surged forward. before i had the full throttle microswitch i had it rigged up to the horn button. - it was a bit clunky trying to push the horn whilst really gunning the bike, the throttle switch is a lot better but im very nervous about 1st gear.

What i dont want to do is put in a huge great big shot of nitrous and wreck the engine.

your reservoir is too close to the mud guard......it seems you put them inverted???
