Having read the various pros and cons of this Itype of ignition have decided one outweighs the other and wish to press on with moving the racebike to total loss - question is how do you go about this what is required ???

Help please theres lots of dicussion about this but no specific how to or even a clue about doing the conversion - does anyonehere know ?

How total do you want your loss to be?

Are you going to bump start the bike?

Welcome by the way...

The very simplest way is to remove the reg/rec. This will not have the full effect but will have some.

The next stage is then to remove the generator coils (requires removing the flywheel and helps if you have a flywheel puller).

If you are happy to bump start the bike then you can also remove the starter (requires a plug to keep oil in) and the wiring/solenoid.

i run total loss on my 35 and it makes a massive difference, it does save a lot of weight which is the nc30/35's downfall. Only thing id suggest though is buy an optimate to keep it the battery in good condition, and buy a spare battery just in case

Do you find it easy to bump start Simon?

I've found it pretty easy to bump.

i also have found it easy to bump start the nc30

rick oliver supplies batterys specifically for race bikes running total loss.....i believe they last a lot longer before needing re-charged!!!!!!!

if i was removing the reg rec i would be inclined to remove the alternator as well........

Oh I agree except that it's the work of a moment to remove the reg/rec and a lot more grief to remove the alternator.

I'd see if you can live with the grief of total-loss first, then remove the alternator.

Druid

how many people actually run total loss on their road bike??????

i myself don't but went through a spell where my reg rec was gubbed and it was not too bad..........every few days i gave the battery a wee charge.

but dark nights and working late caused problems..........

I have rotor pullers in stock and also starter blanking plugs if you`re going the whole hog...
