Testarossa's 78 KZ1000 Fighter Build

:woohoo: That's some sexy diagnostic equipment

How much was it? I just saw one today on CL around here for $250.

So today, I bled the rear brake, and hooked up the banjo bolt brake light switch. That is such a simple solution, thanks to mark1122 for suggesting that one. Went for a couple of laps of the Bridgestone West GP with the baffle out. I would definitely need to re-jet for no baffle, if that were staying. Now I'm gonna get scientific about my jet changes now that I have the wideband. More on that later.

Now on to stuff that I can do. I started sanding the tail. Bodywork! :woohoo: That tail has a lot of paint on it. I knew about the rattle can blue, and the red with airbrushed skull, lazer eyes. However I didn't know about this:

Here's where I got mine:

I still need to order the analog input cable, a couple of spare bungs (insert Bevis and Butthead sounds here), and a SD memory card. I played around with the software a little tonight. Out of the box, you can log a/f ratio, rpm, and 4 0-5V analog inputs. I'm already thinking of using a jeep MAP sensor hooked up to the carb boot nipples, and I need to find a TPS that could be hooked up to the the throttle linkage some where. Then, I could graph a/f ratio, MAP, throttle position, and RPM. That should pretty much cover everything for a carbureted KZ with one input to spare. I need to be able to provide a stable 5 VDC to those two sensors, so a little wiring will be involved.

You appear to have found one of the rare, long lost Dos Equis Beer stunt Kz's.....You now own one of the most interesting bikes in the world! Stay thirsty my friends :laugh:

Not afraid to show it's femanine side.....

If it had one!!

i love funky old paint jobs :laugh: .

Hmm - here's what I found, but he doesn't mention the software being included...

madison.craigslist.org/pts/2029855159.html

up for sale is my innovate motorsport Lm 2 wide band sensor and control box.

comes with wide band O2 sensor, power cable, analog input cable, usb, and a 1gb mirco sd card..

everything works, this is a must have for turbo cars owner...dont play guessing game with your a/f ratio, tune it!

You're gonna want that software, so I would check to see that he has the disk before I bought that. Otherwise it seems like a good deal. I still need to get the SD card ($10) and the analog input cable (Innovate wants $25.) Im going to see if I can find the connector and wire it myself before I plunk down $25 for a plastic 14 pin connecter with a pigtail. Looks like all that stuff is included in his sale.
