DUM DUM BULLET

[Dool]

Rode Home a New Bullet today, had 1.5kms on the clock at the Shop, 12.5 by the time I got home. About as new as you get!
Straight onto the operating table.

4 bolts hold the grab rails and release the seat, 1 bolt holds the tank which wasn't heavy(Dealer isn't giving away free fuel!) and it comes off perhaps a bit harder than a Himalayan 411 because there seems to be less free space.
Decat pipe was first but before fitting it I welded in a bung to take a wide band 02 sensor for my AFR meter

The Muffler is being replaced with what could be the Cheapest Muffler on the Market,it cost less than the decat pipe.

So now the gasses can flow faster out
through the Exhaust system.
Needing to derestrict the Inlet system came next but I had already spent a lot of money by then so I decided on the DSM free flow cover being that it gave the largest opening size available


Now I have mount the AFR meter which is 52mm not 48mm like the Tachometer that is available so it will probably be on the handle bars.

Fitted the Fx pro ️

You can see the in the background that the handle bars are removed.

I fitted Black Touring Bars, RE ones
Removed the glued on left hand grip with a old hacksaw blade and some spirits.



My first experience with this style of handle bar mount, they look nice but, what a pain to refit.
If the bike wasn't so new I would have used my Dremel on the bolt holes.
They come out of the Box with the handle bars fitted and adjusted, I can vouch for that.
The wide band O2 sensor is on an angle on purpose!



And out of the way, not the ideal position for an O2 sensor but for a meter and not the ECU it is more than adequate.
I needed power for the AFR meter so removed the headlight and located a 2 pin covered plug and started getting the parts to plug into that.
But luckily I checked it with my Multimeter and it was dead.
Then I found a 3 pin plug which had 2 +12V and 1 earth so I switched to getting those parts.
Then I thought of CANBUS and so I just tapped into by splicing and soldering the right side Tigers eye, should be easier to get a new Tigers 👁 than mess with its Brain.
All that done I stuffed around getting the petrol tank back on and started it with no throttle and left it running for 10 minutes.
With a fan.

The Sound of Decat and Cheap Muffler from India.

Interesting sound and so is this error code,

Of course I selected "delete code"

I wonder if the ECU had a problem with the modifications

It was too bloody loud anyway and needs a baffle made and I will have a go at that.
But in the meantime, back to the OEM muffler with De- pipe and it sounds good.

Having Tubeless tyres on a Motorcycle seems smart but a flat tyre with a tube is about as good a flat tubless tyre if you can not pump it up.
So I cut the handles of a cheap repair kit and mounted them under the seat along with the glue and plugs.
This will of course require seat removal for puncture repairs so I included a 6mm Allen Key to the tool kit.
As a quick top up may just get me going I mounted some CO2 bottles( they are from the life vests found on airplanes which must be replaced )
in the document holder along with the adapter.
