Got all the hosing connected as per the various hosing diagrams. Dropped a battery in. All the lights work.

Problem now is getting the bike to see that it is in neutral. I am not really sure where the neutral sensor is and if it is compatible between old and new styles. time to do some digging around.

Pulled the sprocket cover off and pulled out the neutral sensor. There was no contact in there! Dug up the one from the old motor and popped it in. Worked like a charm.

Set up my makeshift fuel tank and tried to start her up for the first time.



I got it to idle while cold after adjusting the idle screw a bit. Once it heated up it would not restart.

Since I am anticipating playing with the carbs a bunch while troubleshooting fueling issues, I decided to add some quick disconnects with shut-offs. Hopefully I can make the tank removal process less annoying. I mounted the color matched R6 rear shock also.

I was hoping that with all the fuel plumbing hooked up correctly that I would be able to start her up again but it didn't work out. Gave it a few tries but so far the video above is the only time I got the bike to run at all.
