Hy all,

The TEK coils (ex Kawa) have a green and black terminal. I have connected the green terminals to +12Volts. The black terminals are connected to the ignition.
Is this correct?

reason for asking: My RGS makes a pinking type noise in 4th and 5 th gear when opening the trottle (only when driving, not in the garage), starting around 5000 rpm. Mixture seems fine, cant find any air leaks, DMC on curve 7.

before I take the tank of (again), are my connections correct?

Tia, Melle
 
Hi Melle,
Green marked connectors are positive
other connector goes to ignition trigger
so you are correct

what air filter are you running ?
try riding the bike without a filter and see if that makes a difference, is only a test ride, no lasting damage will be done

Hello Red,

the filter i have is a Champion U305, same one as the Zane bikes use. As per your suggestion have tried the bike without filter. Makes no difference. Same pinkin type noise in top gears.

Regards, Melle
 
I've had pinking problems with  both triples I own, where I've ultimately swapped out the B8ES for a cooler B9ES.

If you are really scratching your head and have checked the items described previously, try a cooler plug for the sake or ?12.

Hi Melle - If your bike has been standing unused for a while - check that there is no build up of muck on the needle and inside the needle jet. The clearance between them is very small. Try pulling the choke on slightly to see if pinking stops - HTH - Phil

I am using Nippon Dens W27ES-U. Should be the same as B9.

Thanks, Melle
 
Try a higher curve Wolfgang recoms 10 / 11 mines on 10  with (VFR) TEK coils.

Hy all,

noise turns out the be resonance from the tank touching carbs and valve cover! My tank is warped, combined with the new inlet stubs there is your noise.

Found out when i had the tank upside down to fix the fuel sender.

You live and learn

Thanks for all your input

Best regards, Melle
 
I got old style inlets new from Wolfgang after finding the same problem of the tank sitting on the ones I purchased from Slaters, sold those on, told Richard who now stocks them and everything is well .Too true living and learning.
