Diff'rent Strokers

Had a couple of hours spare so I thought I would try and start the sdr1. But I don't seem to be getting any power to the ignition. Checked the battery, fuse swapped regulators and checked connections but nothing. No idiot light ping up and the ypvs doesn't do it's routine.

The only thing I can think of is the ignition wiring/connector.

Any ideas anyone?

Has it got a dodgy cdi ? Question

Yeah will check the cdi, I think it might have something to do with the terrible wiring for the aftermarket crappy clocks. It's a bloody birds nest of dodgy connections and solder.

Will try tidy this all up first then test the ignition and cdi's.

It sounds more fundamental than a dodgy CDI. I'd expect an ignition light at least. Are the lights working, headlight, brake, tail? If nothings there you know you're just looking to see where the main 12V feed's gone.

Hi.

Had a few hours today trying to sort out the wiring behind the light dome as described in my earlier post. I think the main problem has been quick (shite) wiring from the aftermarket clocks.

I've had to remove all the clocks and cut into the wiring to remove them. I'm slowly getting there and I think I've narrowed it down to a broken pin in the plug to the ignition. I won't be able to check until I've fixed all the other wiring but I'm hopeful. Wink

Hi.

I'm after these. Can anyone tell me if there is another bike that uses the same set up and is still available?

I know the 3ma uses it but I'm pretty sure I tried getting one and they were discontinued

I have finally got power to sdr1! After going through all the wiring repairing and fitting new connectors, fitting original clocks, it's alive ! Well pleased considering I'm useless with electrical faults.

The plan now is to give this bike a quick service and get it running and use it as guide to do a nut and bolt restoration on the sdr2.

I have a few bits coming from Japan for my rebuild including a nice carbon front hugger. Wink

The RD500 could possibly have the fuel outlets, as they also have a remote tap, was going to say 3ma, but you know that Smile

( this one is also a combined vshutoff valve too, so would cost more) FZ750 as a thought?
Just had a look on fleabay, FZ tap is single outlet, weren't these electronic/electric reserve 'switch' so probably no good.

Fully serviced the SDR1 and started first kick not bad seeing as it hasn't been started for a few years. They make an odd sound with a race system on lol!

Very happy so this now can be rolled to the corner of the garage and I can start work on the sdr2 full rebuild.

If I get time I will post some pics up at the weekend. Although there isn't much to look at its a funnel direct to the carbs and a whole load of wires. It will tidied up before I put it away.

The only thing I'm struggling with is the neutral lamp isn't working ive changed the bulb and chased the wires to the plug, so I'm thinking a sensor somewhere has broke.

Taking the sdr2 crank and barrel to pj engineers this month to get the motor work started.

Hi Ibby,

Just looking at the pics of your sdr, what is the front caliper bracket made of on your one with the engine in? just getting some parts together to do something with my front brake and need some inspiration to mount my caliper. I have an FZR600 caliper to fit to a 320 floater from an Aprilia (same as YAM) and trying to decide steel or ally for a bracket. Your set up looks similar to what i have. I have an SDR by the way!

Thanks in advance Smile

Justin

My bike has a similar disc and calliper, but with a simpler bracket. have a look at the pictures in my thread further down the Yamaha section to see if that gives you any ideas for an alternative approch.

Hi Karl,

Yes i studied your thread on the disc/cailper but i ended up with a 320mm disc which almost fills the rim! I got an FZR600 caliper to mount up and it looks like mine will have to be on the lines of Ibby's rather than your set up. If i'd have done a bit more homework i would have got myself a Brembo as they seem to have the mounting holes a lot closer together which makes the option you went a lot easier. I found these on an SDR Japan site. Bit pricey though £120 plus whatever postage/import duty etc
