Subject: Experience Report


Hi Folks,

after I had a little time gain experience with the modifications of my @, here
my report:

1. Tires

About 1 Mm ago, I changed to Michelin T66. Result: Good on roads & highways,
good grip in fast riding. Very much better grip on wet ground. Reasonable on
light off-road grounds, but not for hard enduro or cross. 

2. K&N Filter

Purchased at Lois, price ~100DM. Good airflow, engine reacts a *little* easier,
top speed decreasing at aprox. 3 km/h. Next, I´m going to modify the jets.

3. Trip Master enhancement:

Take 10 kOhm res, this should be a little better for the chip. A little piece of
isolating tape between resistor and board to make sure, that there *never* will
be a short cut. Works fine, grilfriend likes to see cruising velocity. 
There is a difference between Tripmaster and Speedmeter of about 6-7 %. Does
anybody have this too ??

4. Oil Temperature

Racimex Oil Meter purchased at HG, ~ 120DM
mounted at right hand side, just beside the water temperature.
Electrically connected to the switched power of the tripmaster (black cable,
front row, center) and head lights.
ATTENTION: LOIS & HG Catalog is MISLEADING !!! For my ´96 RD07 I needed a M
14x1,5 sensor instead of M 20 x 1,5. The clerk first didn´t want to sell me what
I needed and I had to convince him ... ( :o) )

5. 5 Star Windshield

160 DM at my local dealer, simply *great* ! My girl likes it ...

6. Bagster Bag:

360 DM, at TM, Cologne. WOW. This thing consists of 2 parts. Tank Cover and Bag.
The Cover is made esp. for @, fits really perfect. Design is outstanding.
Bag: 1st try: "Gamma 10" Bag. 30 l. This one is definitly too big, the rear side
of the bag is hangig over the sattle.
2nd try: 20 l bag, will be delivered end of this week.

7. H&B Topcase: I wouldn´t ride without it ...

8. Black Plastic parts:  Protectors, front and rear mudguard. On my black-silver
RD07 this looks *great*.


Future plans:

Modified camshaft & carberators to increase power up to aprox. 70HP at rear
wheel. =;o)
Corbin saddle.
