UPDATE
Finally got around to workin on the bike. I applied 12V to the pink wire on the speed sensor and checked continunity of all the wires. Then I followed the instructions in the repair manual for testing the speed sensor to make sure it was working. Then following the instructions in the repair manual I connected a gauge set to an external battery and then connected the can-bus wires to the ecu. Sure nuff it showed a code(24) for the speed sensor. For what ever reason I could not get the code to clear. Everything was hooked up and checked out but the code would no go away. I eventually connected the ground side of my external battery to the frame of the bike and when I turned the switch on the bike on the code flashed once and then cleared and did not come back. Not trusting that it was acutally fixed I started the bike a few times to make sure that it wasn't coming back. I even disconnected the ground between the external battery and the frame and started over from scratch and the code still didn't show up any more. HOPEFULLY we'll get to TNT this week and maybe just maybe everything will go according to plan. Thanks to everyone that replied to try and help me figure this thing out. I was lost and would not have been able to do it without you.
Thanks,
TR

Garron at Adams told me they replace all their 08+ bikes harnes's and ecu's out with 06 models. I dont recall y but i think it had something to do with the fuel system and the rev limiter... give him a call!

Finally got the bike to the tack last night for TNT. I only got to attempt 3 runs and did not make a clean pass due to spinning. On the first pass he was able to stay in it until the shift point which was set just below where it had been hitting the rev limiter. Review of the data logger showed no signs of it getting against the rev limiter unlike earlier runs at Valdosta. Since we never made a clean pass I didn't have the chance to turn the shift point up to confirm how far it would go. Not sure if it's axle alignment, wheelie bar adjustment, or rider error but we are having a hard time getting this bike off the line straight. If I can in the near future I will get someone with a few thousand passes under their belt to ride it and hopefully give me some feed back that will help. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks for your help. I'll give an update as soon as I have an opportunity to get back to the track. I don't have a lot of pic's of the bike as it is still a work in progress but we are proud of what we've done so far. Still got a long way to go. Here's a pic of it last year @ Indy. I've got a few more from Valdosta last fall and this spring but have to up load them where I can share them. Thanks again for the information.

It was a Tsukigi. In that configuration it started to bake the side of the body. We shortened it just a little and put a turnout on it to save the body and the kid ended up getting burned by it so we took it off and put a straight pipe back past the foot peg. It don't look as good but hopefully it'll do the job and not cause any injuries. LOL

Update:
At Thursday nite's TNT we were able to make a couple decent passes and got around to turning the shift point up to 10,250 without hitting the limiter. It only ran a 5.14 w/1.15 60' . We are geared for the 1/4 and have the clutch set up really soft so we were supprised with the decent 60'. We'll continue to make small changes and adjustments and hopefully continue to make some progress If we can keep it going straight and step things up little by little maybe we can run the number when we go to Bristol next month.

TR,
I'm glad I've found someone who has done all the legwork.
I'm stuffing an 06, 14 motor into my conversion chassis. Still don't have the motor yet, but it's an 06 with harness, ecu, stock header(which I'll modify and use straight pipe also). I'm going to run a 50 shot dry through a custom airbox (if I can make it work).
Have you found a happy place as far as pipe length goes? better with megaphone or straight?
I have a ton of questions, I just don't know where to start... As you said, "uncharted territory".
I'm used to easy, you know, lectrons and dyna 4000 on a kz motor. This isn't going to be that easy, I know, But I have got to try.
If you could help me out with the wiring end of things, I'd be a happy guy. Have you found any advantages to fuel controllers/power commanders, etc?
I don't have the brain capacity for turbo on stock chassis, which is what my guys seem to know up here, so you are probably my best bet for info. Not having the gauge cluster is an issue for those guys. Why do guys like us always do shit the hard way?
I guess I just want to use you and your mistakes to my gain. If you don't mind sharing. Thanks in advance

We will be glad to answer what ever we can. We would have never made it past first base with this thing if it hadn't been for all the help and advice that we received from lots of folks.
Currently we run Top Gas and Pro ET with ours and have a blast with it but I'll be the first to say that it's been far from easy. We have had some unbelievable gremlins from time to time but we just keep plugging away at it.
We've been lucky enough to make it down to the semi's a couple times but we still haven't won a race yet. Every time we go to the track we learn something and more often than not it is a humbling experience!
Our quickest pass was this past spring @ Valdosta when we ran in the 7.90's during test and tune. The kid usually rides the DB and we still have our 06' street bike that I get to play on occasionally.
Give me a shout anytime. trSPAMganey@SPAMyahoo.SPAMcom jes take the SPAM out. If we can't give you an answer hopefully we can direct you to someone that can.
