This is me after switching to map 8 on the sache ignition  :D :D :D :D :D :D.
The SF3 is flying. Going to have to buy a box of lemons on the way home tonight just to get the smile off my face.

Ahhhh yes Jimmy , they do love a lot of advance  :D
What curve were you running ?
Hooksey.
 
I had been using # 5 , but 8 feels better all the way through the rev range.

And Yes Dricko, Mark cleaned out the fuel taps and that solved the problem.

Yep ran # 8 (39 degrees)  up to Bello and back and the big triples couldn,t keep up  :P :P
# 5 definitely too retarded .
Will be giving # 7 (36 degrees) a go on the next trip  :D
Thinking # 8 is were its happy thou.  :D

Just changed the SF1 to #8  from #4 and it feels heaps better.

Here are the curves available with the Sachse ignition for the SF750 (S, SF & SFC).  I'm assuming that the Red line on the chart with 8 & 9 is the standard ignition curve..

dunno Yogi ?
'cause it starts at 13??  & the points are set at TDC statically.  & would a centrifugal spark advance give ya that shape?

but i no nothing ay!  so, i just cleaned and reset the good old points on SeFFie today.  & she still runs sweet as.  (bigthumb)

No idea, but I think the red wire is positive and the black negative if I remember correctly - I just put up the graphs coz that is what I can do..

Got fed up of squinting at poor quality black and white images of  Jota 120 wiring Diagrams, so made up a colour one. Still a bit of a "work in progress" as I find a few minor differences between the various diagrams and the actual wiring on the bike.
Photo below. I have it in better quality as a  PDF but don't know how to attach that.

I have not tried it, but perhaps upload it to the 'Gallery' and link to that - on the face of it there is an allowance of 1.95 Mib (don't know what the 'i' stands for though - perhaps itsy bitsy, I don't know).
Either that or stick your image on Photobucket or Flickr and link to that?

Suggestions on a postcard!
 
Farkin' wirin' :(

I was tasked (by Keith) to graft on a pair of more modern handlebar switches to my RGS on Sunday.

I stared and I stared at the wiring.  I walked around pretending to be busy with something else.

I hummed.  I hawed.

I played with the crimping tool.

BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND!!!

It's easy, quoth Keith.  IT BLOODY ISN'T, I wailed.  Damn, it was the same feeling I used to get doing A level maths; a sort of anger and sickness in my stomach as I floundered totally out of my depth. 

I. JUST.  CAN'T.  DO. IT.  Sorry Keith. :'(
 
OK smarty-boots, draw me up a diagram for Bandit switchgear and I will crimp away with gay, 120 degree, abandon.  Just don't bother me with logic and other stuff I can't do.  English was my thing at school, you know. ::)
 
No problem, just let me know what colours go where/do what in the bandit switches. :D  Probably won't have the charging switch function, have Keith wire in the regulator directly.  Is the Corsa wiring still original, or has some DPO arsed around with it?

Chose Honda switchgear for my conversion, mainly because the OE throttle cable fits the twistgrip and nice choke operating lever.  Becoming more and more pissed off with the original lighting switch, have repeatedly switched off the lights completely when I only wanted to dip the beam when rockin' along at 200 at night.  Next on the to-do list.

piet.
 
It ain't pretty, but I think that it is more or less original.  Grant is firing across something which may help.  I think this diagram is correct for the Bandit switches.  Does my head in..

Trick is not to get caught out at Bank or London Bridge after 11:30..........

....and no Phil, bladdy Croydon isn't really London ;)

Piece of piss, Grants a good bloke in putting up the diagram for the Bandit? So you don't need the two clutch switch wires so that leaves you with 8 wires to play with. Cut off the connector block, buy a new one along with terminal ends to match the one on your bike, a good set of crimping pliers and bobs your uncle. Will knock you up the diagram of which colour goes with what this evening.
