SlowmanRMZ:
I have a question.

I ride a rather old bike. But, what are the "black dots" under the triple clamp?

Are you talking about the ones in this picture?

yep... What are those?

Just what I thought, had to confirm it though.

Looks like its part of the electrical system, those little wire leads you see sticking up. (#26011)

it's definitely a sweet bike, i'd like to hear on the reliability of the SSF design, cuz thats pretty sweet little breakdown there

Is that for the ECU or CDI ?

Kawi calls it the chassis wire harness. I'm guessing that those 2 leads by the CDI plug are for the ECU. :noidea:

The image below is from the 2010 and it doesn't show those 2 plugs, but it has the same part number.

Edit: Just counted the leads; 2010 has 6 & 2011 has 13 :wow:

I went over to TT for a minute to check out the kx250f form and I see primal has one. He already has most of his 07 parts on it :noidea:

I bet I know how that thread is going though. :smirk:

williamsb27 · Aug 27, 2010

Yeah very predictable :lol:

we need to get these forums going like that. I want to start talking more bike technical especially since it's about to be work on the bike season :smirk:

Me to and I know TWS has said that many times to.

We need new threads for one, so go start a couple. :ride:

I'm blank

until I start messing with my suspension and I may have questions. I wish someone would create a monthly dirt bike mechanic magazine so I could read up on it and have something to talk about :lol:

Me to, I will have to go over my bike though before I start riding again, so maybe I can come up with some things.
