Not sure that will enhance Nick, sure it will cut down a bit of weight, what about the degree advancer, and if the carbs are coming out there must be other stuff.

il be wanting the full monty please,,no point in half measures

Another wee BUMP as well for anyone who may not have spotted this yet. Ive also updated the OP with the proposed dates

It won't improve performance, but it makes changing plugs or removing cam cover a lot easier. I have a 4 degree ignition advancer, which gives more midrange, but a fraction less outright power. Fitting the full monty with carb rubber/air box mods is as good as it gets unless you fit a full akrapovic system or similar (££££££££££££

) Fitting a full system also gets rid of the exup valve.

Back up we go. Come on you tight Scottish foccers. Best bit of money you can spend on a gen 1!

Just so people know, this is also open to anyone else in England/the borders who is willing to make the ride up to have it done (still unconfirmed wether it will be Edinburgh or Glasgow, but it's looking more like Glasgow at this point I think).

I could be interested in a full monty, but wouldnt be able to give a definite answer until closer to the time.

no worries Andrew, looks like there should still be spaces available nearer the time anyway. Still plenty of time to see how your fixed for it

mickvp · « **Reply #31 on:** 16 May 2014, 10:36:24 pm »

another Friday evening bump. Still spaces remaining

nsr500v4 · « **Reply #32 on:** 17 May 2014, 09:03:04 am »

I might be away the weekend its being done, if not I might be up for it. Is it really that worth it though....

mickvp · « **Reply #33 on:** 17 May 2014, 10:56:09 am »

I would say so. There are literally hundreds of guys on here who have had their bikes ivanised by Mike over the years, and I've never read even one person say it was not a worthwhile mod. That's good enough for me

mickvp · « **Reply #34 on:** 02 June 2014, 03:51:47 am »

bumpety bump.

any other more distant foccers interested in making a road trip in september for this? its open to everyone of course

trpFZS1 · « **Reply #35 on:** 02 June 2014, 07:51:05 am »

I had my bike Full Monty'd by Mike mid May and have just been on a bike trip in France for a week. The bike was faultless with considerably more mid range grunt than standard and a stronger power delivery in the higher rev range. The fuelling is spot on and you can drop right down to low revs and it just pulls cleanly as you accelerate. I was interested to see what the mods would do to the MPG which averaged at 49 mpg before and 50.5 mpg after. See picture below. The lowest (48 mpg) was a fast motorway blast from Bournemouth to Folkestone. The other fills were French roads. I would thoroughly recommend having this work done.

thanks for the info Trip

Looks like its worth doing on every front then. nice!

First time I've seen extended fuel consumption records on a Full Monty'ed Gen 1 ... that's impressive. Thanks for posting.

Mike

trpFZS1 · « **Reply #38 on:** 02 June 2014, 10:06:30 pm »

No problem, very pleased with the results

mickvp · « **Reply #39 on:** 22 June 2014, 05:40:52 am »

Sunday morning bump for anyone who has not seen this. just one or two more to guarantee this takes place guys, must be someone else lurking in the shadows out there

Falcon 269 · « **Reply #40 on:** 22 June 2014, 05:44:20 am »

Morning, Mick.

I waiting in the traps, lads ... need to book flights soon-ish if this is to happen.

Mike

johnnyg · « **Reply #41 on:** 24 June 2014, 12:32:52 am »

Unfortunately I am going to be away that weekend or I would be a definite

Falcon 269 · « **Reply #42 on:** 24 June 2014, 05:06:13 am »

Guys, the date in the opening post is provisional. What we need first is a clear indication of interest and and idea of which date/dates would work for people.

With that in mind, would the 'yes' and 'definite maybe' clans please indicate that here again, together with dates in September to be avoided. I will try my best to work something out date-wise which caters for the maximum number.

Mike

mickvp · « **Reply #43 on:** 24 June 2014, 06:48:14 am »

I'm a definate, and my dates are more ore less fully flexible.

bigbluebear · « **Reply #44 on:** 24 June 2014, 07:48:39 am »

I'm a definite too and also flexible with the dates.

If we cant get the numbers maybe some additional work could be added......Ivans AIS removal.....Multigauge......wash, wax and polish

Mike, whatya think.

bigbluebear · « **Reply #45 on:** 03 July 2014, 03:28:26 pm »

Bumpety Bump!!!

mickvp · « **Reply #46 on:** 03 July 2014, 09:03:10 pm »

Thanks,BBB. Maybe the best approach is this - for any of you who are interested and up for this, are there any dates that are NOT suitable for you personally? If we know this we can select the best date by process of elimination.

johnnyg · « **Reply #47 on:** 07 July 2014, 11:57:02 am »

I am away from the 27th September until the 4th October so dates outside that should be fine for me

onejay · « **Reply #48 on:** 08 July 2014, 12:00:55 am »

im interested in this
if i went full monty what do i need exhaust wise

bike is stock apart from 15 tooth front sprocket and renthal bars

i currently have the front pipes off as the exup valve needed servicing but 2 of the studs have snapped off

i synced the carbs recently as the were a mile out
