ham2 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) HA, HA, I knew that topic title would attract all you 4 stroke 'blingers' On Andy's Japan '06 photos -320Y7V4803.JPG- there's a cylindrical lump with associated plumbing?? What is it? I know that the 4 stroke has been dropped from the Japan schedule because of lack of poke but surely they haven't stuck a NO2 kit on it??!!

monty-python Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 It could be one of the following: A) Remote reservoir for the rear shock (unlikely, given that it's next to the (Hot) cylinder) Fuel pump C) oil breather catch tank (unlikely) D) NITROUS OXIDE E) An elaborate hoax!!

ahamayfrank Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) In picture (4803) it looks like the rear shock reservoir next to the hot cylinder. In picture(4803a)the production unit had a fuel pump mounted in this location. This component however, looks like a voltage regulator / rectifier to me.

mitche Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 The in-line lamp switch (zip tied to the frame in photo 4803) is a nice touch of home. Looks like it may be running to the radiator fan, but it's hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomant Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Looking at the high pressure braided pipe used , I would say its for the suspension without doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 whatever it is... it worked. Kenichi beat the 2 stroke Scorpas on day one in Japan on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With a 5th place finish on Sunday, Kenichi was right there with the big boys! He is obviously not having any problem riding the new 4-stroke at a World Class level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
