Winter Project

<div>Ok so I had an hour today so started the strip down of the bike.
 
fairings come off fairly easily 

 
headlight removed

 
I wasn't sure what I am going to do for a headlight so just for the crack I fitted up the custom headlight I made for my trx when it was a road bike. Didnt look to bad. 

 
I might stack them one above the other if I have the space.  The current plan is I am going to build myself a new fairing. 
 
 
Also I was looking at fitting the larger throttle bodies.  Up from 38mm to 42mm.

 
Like fitting a set of FCR's to the bike but with fuel injection.  based on what FCR's do to a TRX I am fairly certain this will increase the performance of the engine right through the rev range, but I am starting to think maybe I should just do this later. Get everything setup with the ignijet ecu and it can be next years project. 
It may well release more power, and that would be nice but to be honest I don't really need any more power out of it. I've never found the bike lacking at all.  I may change my mind but I think for now I am going to concentrate of building a new front end for the bike, and give the engine a good going over so its in tip top condition - compression test, valve clearances etc.

I'm no expert, but induction systems can only flow at a peak rate which is governed by the smallest orifice. Is the main restriction the throttle body or is it further down the intake tract, in which case some time spent  with a dremel opening out the ports could be more beneficial.
